That’s true.

Do you happen to know of any countries where the allowable level of contamination is zero?

I think most of Lemmy acknowled the beauty of Linux

I knew someone would come back with something like this.

You can pretty much forget about eating the things I listed then, oh and dried pasta too.

Besides, if you don’t think you’re eating that stuff already then you haven’t looked at the USDA or FDA Food Defect Levels. There are allowable levels for fun things like insect parts and rodent droppings.

You can put whatever they have infested in the freezer for a few days, then pick them out and transfer the contents to a sealed container.

When I lived in the tropics it was quite normal to have these in flour, grains, dried legumes, dried chillies etc.

Game Changer, a stupid phrase that is so overused it has become meaningless

Off the top of my head though I can’t think of any that are based on a persons name. Rod, Chain, Peck, Hogshead etc.

For length there is a Smoot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoot

Edit: it’s 1.702 metres/ 5’7"

Is that what the whole thing is with jackfruit burgers and pulled jackfruit? They’re using the byproducts?

The original SMS version of Twitter.

Later, the name hashtags, in American English this symbol #️⃣ was always best known as the pound key. It was also known as an Octothorpe.

Actually I still don’t understand why anyone wants to use Twitter.

That’s what I use an old phone for. In the kitchen it’s a timer, notepad, and music player. I read the news on it while having coffee.

I could do that all on my main phone of course but if I’m cooking or having coffee my main phone is both off and elsewhere. I don’t like to be disturbed.

Oh, and I use it to test apps before they go on my main phone.

I am not the person you are replying to.

I read a lot of papers and it is hard if you don’t have background knowledge of the subject. If it’s something I am really interested in, then I will dive deep, if it’s not I will probably let it go when I get to the point where I no longer grasp what’s being said.

There is this recent paper about ants, https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/07/call-the-ant-doctor-amputation-gives-injured-ants-a-leg-up-on-infections/

I love el bosco, but the evolution of this painting was probably Bruegel in ‘the triumph of death’. If you include the other panels of the triptych, it is less salutary.

You can also try https://f-droid.org/packages/net.programmierecke.radiodroid2/

Seems like it’s no longer maintained, but it works fine, has search, sleep timer.

It uses data from https://www.radio-browser.info/

It’s all FOSS

Usually before it starts by not being able to see they are interested in me.

Could I have this on a notarized, laminated card to keep in my pocket? Otherwise I’ll just do the same thing I always do.

• look confused
• say something like ‘I’m not sure, where were you thinking of going? Oh, and I have a doctors appointment on Tuesday , so not then’
• ‘hey, where are you going?’
• six months later, doing something random. ‘Fuck, i did it again’

It can be highly invasive and destructive. That said, there are two types, clumpers and runners, runners are bad. Unless you’re a Panda.

I love paper maps, I have never had one run out of battery, or direct me onto a dead end.

It’s more than that though. It’s an adventure whenever you look at one.

I never use GPS or location services, show me a map and I know where I am and how to get to the next place.

My most recent paper map is of Tobago.

One of the most distinguishing features of “web3” is the sheer level of handwaviness surrounding it. While you can find no end of press releases, crypto evangelists on Twitter, and venture capitalists extolling the virtues of web3, you will have a much harder time finding any definition that’s not so full of buzzwords that it becomes meaningless. That’s because “web3” is first and foremost a marketing term.
