That's why he's investing in guillotine-proof neck technology!

Dann duscht doch vorher mal?!

Wikipedia sagt:

Buttersäure macht im Wesentlichen den unangenehmen Geruch von Erbrochenem oder von ranziger Butter aus.

Da Geschmack ja auch maßgeblich vom Geruch abhängt und wir Buttersäure vor allem aus Erbrochenem kennen, ist das unsere Hauptassoziation.

When they first got it, it was still white

Nein. Nur weil ein Prozess präziser wird, muss er nicht gleichzeitig effizienter werden. Es gibt mehrere Dimensionen, in denen Unterstützung passieren kann.

Das kann sie sein, aber nur zur Unterstützung der Menschen, nicht zum Einsparen derselben.

Again, "happy as a clam" is very informal. "Free as a bird" is much less so, so it makes sense it pops up more often in literature.

Wait, are they using Spongebobs toothbrush?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Most phrases have very small percentages, as they are measured against all other combinations of words in literature.

Since it's an informal idiom, it's also much more common in spoken than in written language.

Just airing out the goods, don't mind her!

 

For the record, the ones we definitely know about are (thanks to the wiki):

  • Macrodata Refinement
  • Optics and Design
  • Wellness Center
  • Mammalians Nurturable
  • Choreography and Merriment

Possibly also departments:

  • Distribution Supply
  • Disposal and Reclamation
 

What do you all think - getting it at launch? Waiting a bit? Or even skipping it entirely?

I'm getting it at launch, though mostly for single player. I love FromSofts lore, so I hope we learn a bit about the world of Elden Ring (pre-Shattering) through Nightreign. But I'm definitely much less excited than I was for Shadow of the Erdtree.

 

But alas, he's destined to never receive it.

 

Invincible has a whole host of awesome and unique characters. Who's your favorite, and why?

 

Now that season 2 is over and we've all had some time to let things settle & reflect, what are your predictions for season 3? Do you have any particular ideas about things that will/won't happen? Any wishes or other thoughts?

Hey all! @[email protected] and I wanted to give a quick update on the rules, since we received a couple of questions.

We've tried to clarify rule 3 a bit, now it reads:

3. Don’t spoil people in a way they can’t circumvent - that means no mentions in post titles/comments outside spoiler threads for:

  • comics spoilers about something that hasn’t happened in the show
  • TV show spoilers if it’s been less than a week since the episode aired

As you can see we've shortened the time a bit to allow better discussion after new episodes, and we've clarified how spoilers should be hidden.

What do you guys think? Does this work for everyone, or is something unclear?


A short aside, since this is the first real "moderator" type communication we're putting out - WOW, hard to believe how the community has grown! Already more than 150 subscribers, and almost 500 people visiting last month. Thank you all for being a part of this, and for making the moderation such an easy job. You guys are amazing, we can't thank you enough!

Hey! I'm looking for an alternative to Sync, and Summit looks great.

Unfortunately it defaults to German, and (as is usually the case) the translation isn't great, e.g. the font names are translated (and the translations aren't correct). So I'd like to use English.

But I can't find the setting. I searched for "lang" as well as the German word in the settings, but it seems there's no language selection.

Is there really no way to change your selected language, except for changing your phone language? That would be a bummer.

Season 2 Episode 6: Attila

Aired: February 21, 2025

Synopsis: Bonds are tested. Mark continues on his path of discovery.

Directed by: Uta Briesewitz

Written by: Erin Wagoner

 

Since I've seen the episode, I've been thinking about the story he told, and I don't think it's "canonical" like the handbook. I'm almost certain that it's either:

  • a Lumon "fairy tale", either only for use in team building exercises like the ORTBO, or possibly also told outside (did Helena know it?)
  • or a story made by Milchick specifically for our group, possibly AI generated (since "Dieter Eagan" is an anagram for "AI generated")

It felt very much like a scavenger hunt for a child's birthday or something similar, only in corporate form. Milchick thought that he could fulfill the groups desire for "adventure", and thus make them focus on work once more.

What do you think?

 

Let's face it: the app has been abandoned for longer than is acceptable, especially at this price level. It's no longer working correctly on newer Lemmy versions, and there's no indication the dev is still active.

Yes, he worked similarly during Reddit times, but a) Sync was much cheaper back then, and b) Reddit didn't change as much.

Right now, to unsuspecting users Sync seems great given the 4.9 star rating on the Play Store. They'll possibly buy this app before noticing that it's subtly broken.

Please consider giving Sync a bad rating, but if you do so, explain why. Write about the broken functionality, so others don't fall into the same trap.
