You know how people use certain musicians as a litmus test of whether they will get along with other people? Or whether their dog likes them? Yeah, that’s deviled eggs for me. If you like them, I will probably like you. If you’re indifferent, well, more data needed. And if you hate them, then good day to you.

Or you could just not bother, since Fahrenheit is an objectively more intuitive and useful scale for anything outside a laboratory. There is nothing inherently useful about the freezing and boiling points of water that makes them better for a temperature scale used primarily for humans to describe the weather to each…

9 on my first try, and that was getting three red by accident on my second guess. If I had chosen the starting letter I was going to, I would easily have been in double digits. Interesting, but I’ll stick to Semantle.

Yes, because there were absolutely no rational reasons to get rid of any of this software other than they don’t like it. Great reading comprehension.

I like it! Got today’s in 40 guesses. Luck is often a factor in these games, but the semantic thing might be exactly the thing Wordle needed to re-spark my interest. I’m gonna keep visiting, I hope it holds up.

Yeah, I’ve never clipped coupons, and I don’t ever plan on it. I remember seeing how much time some people spent each weekend clipping everything, and then how much extra stuff they ended up with that they didn’t need. My local supermarket chain’s app shows when something has a coupon, so I only “clip” them (read:…

Cue all the armchair carpenters coming out of the woodwork (so to speak) to decry pocket holes for no good reason. Which won’t be tiresome and boring at all.

Conservatism may be more comfortable for those who resist change, but it’s no more helpful than any other language trend. I’m fine with language changing as fast as it wants to, because I have a brain and can adapt.

Basically, people don’t learn the lesson that there’s no “good” and “bad” with regard to the language we use, if we are understood by those around us. The people who insist they are better because they remember how certain words and phrases were historically used are tiresome and boring.

Writing is a dead art form and no one cares.

That’s literally what it means. There is no morality in your word choice. Words mean what we say they mean. By all means, keep using “myriad” in the way you view as most correct. But you’re not better than anyone else who uses that word in any other way.

I bought my IKEA kitchen, out the door, with delivery, for about $4.5k. Base cabinets and open upper shelves, no upper cabinets, but including a dishwasher and convection oven. I worked my way through the design software, selected just the right cabinets to fit my space, and had only minimum adjustments to do at the…

Should you join a blockchain DAO?

Oh cool. Thanks. I wasn’t going to, and I still won’t.

Even older dishwashers clean properly, if they’re loaded and operated correctly. The problem with dishwashers in rental properties isn’t the machine, it’s the lack of documentation. User manuals exist for a reason.

Even older dishwashers can be counted on to clean properly, if you use them correctly. I’m looking at you, people who use pods. If you’re just putting a pod in the main wash chamber, and nothing in the prewash chamber, or on the inside of the dishwasher door, per manufacturer’s instructions (it’s in there, trust me),…

And waste tons of water. Don’t forget that.

I’m not saying whoever designed your dishwasher is an idiot, but...

No mention of the fact that the reason manufacturers say pre-rinsing isn’t necessary is because dishwashers have their own prewash cycle. The problem is, so many people have started using those dumb detergent pods, that there’s nothing to go in the prewash chamber. Manuals do include language to put a bit of liquid or…
