I once had this pizza topped with tortellini, glorious.

But I also like the burrito pizza the place down the street from me makes, they use like a black bean base for the sauce and it’s so good.

Greek style pizza is otherwise the norm here and I generally prefer it to the charred mess that is “authentic” New York style pizza.

I will admit as a kid when I wanted tea I used to just fill a mug with water and stick it in the microwave for a minute.

That’s the thing, the answer for a lot of people in the US is no.

After coffee, the most common need for boiled water in US households is probably for pasta, and a kettle’s not really the tool for either of those.

People that do eat a lot of instant ramen or drink a lot of tea in the US are more likely to have electric kettles (as some people I know do) but most don’t eat ramen often enough and tea just isn’t as big here.

A lot of things are faster than me.

In my defense, my left leg hasn’t been as good since I took a tumble off my bike into a gutter outside of Fuzhou a few years back.

I’d also say sign fatigue (plus general fatigue) is a thing. When you go to an airport security line there’s like these giant signboards stood up like the 200 Commandments, each with a mix of pictures and walls of text of for things you’re not allowed to bring on a plane. Or some things you can check and not carry on or you can carry on and not check. And you’re also expected to know all of that while you are in transit, stressed, and maybe also sleep deprived.

Too many signs to properly pay attention to them all.

Honest truth is that people in the US don’t need to use kettles as much, so for a lot of households it’s just a question of why buy an extra appliance when the cheap $10 kettle from Target or a small saucepan will do for the few times a year a kettle becomes convenient.

During Cerny’s presentation, he specifically talked about the compromise between 60fps performance mode and 30fps graphics modes, so it’s to get 60 fps that people are typically enabling performance mode for.

Just missing one cut leash with Minthara running into traffic in the background.

It was a problem on my device (Galaxy S21) a year ago, but an Android update ended up fixing it for me later on. It seems to vary based on which version of Android the app is running on.

Because every step of the way, they need a flock of MBAs to figure out the answer to the question “How do we make money off of this?”

Cement is porous, those microplastics will get in eventually.

I’d look at it this way: a lot of people on Lemmy came from Reddit, but people’s reasons for leaving are different.

Some left Reddit for what it was, but still want what it has. Namely, they want the content and community, but they want to access it on their own terms, so they try to recreate it on Lemmy. If Reddit hadn’t fucked with their app access, they’d still be on Reddit.

Others want to actively avoid making Lemmy into Reddit 2.0, seeing it as a failed model, and so they try to prevent the spread of “Reddit-isms” in their instances. It’s a gatekeeping measure to prevent the spread of normies, thereby keeping their communities small, niche, and nerdy.

I’m honestly surprised there are a number of people in here who would push back against the idea of having federated access to Reddit content when this very community is unapologetically a Lemmy analog of Askreddit.

The browser versions of Office are straight ass though. Google Docs is better for a web option, but if you don’t want all your data farmed by Google, I think it’s easier to just install something local and lightweight like LibreOffice. Just convert to .docx (or whatever other Office app you’re working with) and share through OneDrive or Teams if collaboration is needed.

It’s not that confusing. The Activision deal almost didn’t happen following all of the scrutiny Microsoft received from their earlier buying of Bethesda and making all of their new games Xbox exclusives. They squeaked by and sealed the deal in the end, but presumably they don’t want Activision to be their last acquisition ever. To that end, they’re third-partying some of their high-profile-but-probably-not-big-earner games so that when some regulatory agency tries to make that same argument for their next big purchase, they can point at the few titles they published on other consoles as proof that they promise not to be anticompetitive.

Someone who brings the life back to dead.

At least it’s not like they’re particularly expensive. And who knows, if they feel embarrassed enough, they might go out of their way ASAP to get their own to save face.

Seems kinda messy to be shooting salt all over your living space, though.

The Play Store link (Lawnchair v2) has not been updated in years. There is a ground-up rewrite (Lawnchair v14) which is being worked on slowly but is currently only able to be sideloaded from their site, and is apparently still missing most of the features from v2.

From what I gather, though, development is happening at a snails pace with “when I feel like it” updates.

DAMMIT I FUCKED UP AGAIN.

Oh, I know the answer this this one! Uhh, mayo!
