2005 the word truthiness was coined https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truthiness

I’m from American south, I’ve always said and heard “kwest-chen” - now I’m sitting here saying it over and over wondering how much is regional accent

Thank you!

Thank you, I think I’ll have to. I wish it was a setting I could choose to turn off, like nsfw photo blurring.

That is a beautiful image and I like colorful language, I’m not offended by it. I wish I had known beforehand. Changing will be a pain I’ve been getting a curation I like here, but the censoring is getting annoying.

Thank you for your response. It’s weird the words that get censored for me so it’s been throwing me off

Did you really say "removed"ass? Because if you did not, I do not understand the censorship filter on here. If you did, it’s funny.

This requirement is what stalls almost all constitutional changes. The last three to pass were 25th 1971 about voting rights for 18 year olds (100 days to pass) the 26th in 1967 about presidential succession (just under 3 years to pass) The last last one (27th) was added 1992 after almost 203 years of meeting the other requirements (It has to do with sitting Congress not being able to raise their own salaries, increases are delayed to the next term. )

There are 6 amendments still sitting out there awaiting ratification by the states.

I think they mean how Fiona becomes Ms Shrek

Anyone have a link to a video that’s not copyright struck?

This is the safe space to ask a question you have that you are afraid other people would find stupid.

It’s especially good for things some people feel are common sense, but that others just managed to miss growing up.

Here’s an example. My husband is really smart. But he moved schools a lot over a 3 year period. He managed to completely miss kids being taught 1 is January, 2 is February, etc for dates. He just never learned it.

He knows his birthday in number form. But if he needs, say May 23rd in number form, he’ll look it up or ask me which number May is.

Some people would classify that as a stupid question and be a dick about it. I just answer him. I know he’s tried to learn it, he’s just never sure if he’s right and knows I know.

This sub operates under the good faith that there are no stupid questions, just people who legit missed something along the way.

In life, I would argue, there are stupid questions. But for me, it’s only in situations where someone is clearly just asking questions to make you break, or clearly not listening and asking the same questions over and over without even trying to pay attention, and lastly, weaponized incompetence where people are acting like that because they don’t want to do something and won’t just say no. Basically questions that are exclusively to waste someone else’s time are the only really stupid questions irl imho

But here, you get the benefit of the doubt if you don’t know how to properly brush your teeth, or why May is 5 and July is 7.

I believe the name originated on reddit, and an accurate name would be “thereAreNoStupidQuestionsHere” but the shorter version is what got the brand recognition, but the confusion is understandable

Yes, I shake the fuel nozzle. After dribbling gasoline down the car’s paint more than once, I always tap tap before I pull it completely out.

Me too, dude, me too.

Seconding this. 28g of sugar has 108 calories.

Which roughly just over half the amount of calories in 28 g of pecans (193 calories)

So simple math.

28g sugar + 28g pecans = 108 calories sugar + 193 calories Gives you 301 calories total

28g sugar times 2 = 216 calories 28g pecans times 2 = 386 calories

Sugar has significantly less calories per gram than pecans.

When you go by weight, you can really play with the calorie content by substituting calorie dense food (like fats, nuts, oils, avocado) that has a lot of calories per gram with foods that are the same weight but less calories per gram

Carbs like sugar have less calories per gram than fats, and salt has 0 calories, but it adds grams of weight

The pralines are substituting some of the high calorie weight of the pecans for lower calorie sugar and salt. So the weight is the same, but the total ingredients have less calories because of the non-pecan stuff used to top off the weight to get to 28g)

Maybe use both then? Ideally kids in new facility get better outcomes and over time all fit in the new facility moving forward?

Unfair to some short term, instead of to all. They could use a lottery or start with nonviolent offenders?

If not too personal, which countries have you looked at?

They generally have a lot of animal supplies, for pets, farm animals, and wildlife. Food, medicines, etc. Lemmy folks seem to really like animals.

I’m just seeing Gallagher smashing watermelons when they hit a pothole

Love this! Did you start out on the Fediverse or did you start on another and then move to your own?

I ask because I’ve been considering hosting my own for the family. I already have a server.

The thing holding me back is I’ve gotten my Mastodon and Lemmy accounts really nice with content and it’s daunting to think of moving/remaking accounts.
