mercano@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why do Americans want to know the month first and the day second?10·1 month agoMost significant digits first. You write the thousands place before the hundreds, you write the month before the day. Of course, the whole argument is blow away when you write the year at the end instead of the beginning. (ISO YYYY-MM-DD dates for the win.)
mercano@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Could a vampire policemen enter my house if they had a warrant?30·2 months agoThe Ankh-Morpork League of Temperance* has been petitioning the Patrician for months trying to get a vampire onto the City Watch. The Campaign for Equal Heights and the Fresh Start Club have already gotten dwarves and zombies onto the force, so it’s only a matter of time.
* They’ve sworn off the red sticky stuff, oh deary me, yes.
mercano@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Tin can pull tabs: Do you shred your fingers to open them or do you use a spoon like a sensible person?2·4 months agoI most frequently encounter these when feeding the cat, so in that case I have a spoon out already.
mercano@lemmy.worldto Steam Deck@sopuli.xyz•[Discussion] What accessories do you use with your steam deck?22·5 months agoProbably one of the least flashy accessories, but I bought a 10 foot long USB-C cable that lets me sit anywhere on the sofa and play without battery anxiety.
mercano@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Whats the most rewatchable TV series of all time?571·5 months agoSurprised no one’s brought up Futurama yet.
mercano@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How to set up a computer mouse to be comfortable?2·6 months agoBoth of those mice have weights you can add or remove to your liking. Maybe you took a few out of the old mouse so it was lighter?
The data brokers can still sell your data, it’s just a lot less useful to the marketing teams or scam artists that are buying it in bulk. For identity thieves, it may become more valuable, at least until word of your death works its way through the system, as there’s no living person to contest the impersonation.
Terry Pratchett wrote, “Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?” but I don’t think he had data brokers in mind when he wrote it in 2004.
mercano@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What TV shows are you watching and would recommend?6·6 months agoShortesy is a spin off of Letterkenny. Great show, so long as you’re comfortable with some blue comedy.
mercano@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What TV shows are you watching and would recommend?7·6 months agoI’ll take the UK version any day. Robert Llewelyn did a great job as host. Did anyone ever have a successful build using hydraulics?
GeForce 256 on my first Windows computer when I went to college. Before that, I was using motherboard graphics on a series of Macs growing up.
Interesting use of terms. In Discworld Dwarven society, being lowborn would be a good thing and while being high born is only one step below surface dweller. The dwarves are ruled by the Low King (or Queen). The lower you are, the deeper you are in the mine, and the more rich and important you must be.

No one’s said pineapple yet? Hawaiian is a staple pizza variety.
mercano@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What were or are your thoughts on the US Pres. Debate?43·10 months agoIt didn’t matter what the question was, Trump kept turning it back to immigration. He’s only got one talking point, and it’s based on fear of the other.
There’s always good old Discord, you just need WiFi.
mercano@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•what's your favorite thing to put on fries that isn't ketchup?5·11 months agoBarbecue sauce
Well, There’s Your Problem, a podcast about engineering disasters, with slides. Not as dry as it sounds, a lot of it is taking the piss out of the people in decision-making roles who made the disaster possible. The video version is recommended for afore mentioned slide decks; none of the hosts actually appear on screen.
