I try to be pretty understanding, I know a lot of Lemmy users aren’t speaking English as their first language and honest mistakes are going to happen.
That idiot was an American. Or a very well crafted caricature of some Americans.
Hey my grandpa served in WW2 too! You and I have that in common. And what I mean by that is the deeds or misdeeds of our forebares contribute nothing meaningful to our individual value as people. That is entirely up for you and I to do. It’s cool that you’re proud of him, but you’re also descended from a lot of other people that did both cool and horrifying shit. It doesn’t matter that they did it, you didn’t. For good or bad, you are judged by your deeds alone.
The issue is toppings still have to go up. It’s not like you can do a burger with the works and have zones of flavor. “Ooh this was the lettuce bite! I hope I get the pickle next!”
So the more you put on your burger the taller it gets.
There’s also been an upsetting trend of smash burgers taking over every fucking restaurant. Ridiculously wide and flat patties that have a lot of flavor but it feels like you’re eating a fried piece of cheese rather than a good burger.
Don’t get me wrong, I do enjoy a good smash burger. It definitely has it’s place. I used to make them but found that just making a chopped cheese was easier and honestly a little better.
But a fat, juicy, pink all the way through and almost red in the middle burger that squirts when you bite it will always be the king of my grill. And generally if I’m going to go get a burger somewhere, that’s what I’m actually craving. This burgers must be taller. If you make that kind of patty too wide you either need to add a binder to keep it together, which kinda ruins the texture, or you’ll need a really wide spatula to flip it and honestly some of them are still going to fall apart on you. Just the nature of the beast.

Equality subject to change without notice.
Fun fact, traditionally speaking “Vanity” refers to the belief that God cares about the little things in your life, and that those prayers are worthy of his time. Sports victories being a perfect example of the type of thing you should not be praying for. You should obtain victory through effort and determination on your own terms, asking God to intervene is A) a profound admission of your own incompetence, and 2: really fucking selfish.
I kinda wanted his paralysis to be curable but because he’s an orphan he can’t afford it, and the well wishing Christians surrounding him refusing to contribute anything other than prayers to his recovery to be framed as a perfectly Christian thing to do.
Old white swinger couple that consults psychics… Yeah not conservative enough. Definitely unelectable.
We need a milquetoast woman who thinks abortion is great but also that putting brown people in prison is a great idea.
How do you think Moses crossed it asshole? By waiving his arms around?? No. He built a land bridge of old car batteries that collapsed as soon as they crossed. Trapping the Egyptian army in an acidic brine that melted their faces off.
Jesus it’s like you’ve never seen Indiana Jones
Maybe removing the mask will help push more young people further left. 20 years ago if you’d told me the DNC was just a mouthpiece for weakly resisting whatever the Republicans wanted to do I would have called you crazy. Now, every day it’s becoming more clear that the Dems actually DO want the corpo fascist state the Republicans are so desperately trying to build. They just have to pretend not to.
Maybe we have a house of Fettermens.
I didn’t realize that I could be a toolmaker when I grew up until I was already grown up.
I fucking love my job. If I had realized how cool this job was when I was in high school I’d be one of the most well paid people in my field right now. As it is I’m just doing pretty well.
Industrial jobs definitely aren’t for everyone, but that’s literally any job. I left a comfortable office job for the trades because those jobs aren’t for everyone either. And I’m far happier for it.
No. Hogg is too left for the DNC, they don’t want him anymore.
The worst workplace disaster in US history was silicosis.
Mama I tell you I cannot get my breath
Were some of the last words a young man would speak. His mother had to carry him to his bed where he slowly suffocated to death.
Silicosis is no fucking joke. I watched my father die to fibrosis, which is very similar. He went from an energetic and active retiree to a chair bound and weak man in a matter of weeks. He lived the rest of his life barely able to walk from his car to the scooters to go grocery shopping. Doing so much as turning a valve to shut off the water to his sprinklers would have taken him an hour or more, and he wouldn’t have been able to do much else that day.
He lived for 2 of the 5 years he thought he had fighting for every single breath. All day. Every day.
He’s too demented to understand them anyway. He wouldn’t care even if he could.
Y…yeah … sure. Yeah totally. The last one standing totally gets to keep everything and will absolutely be leaving the arena alive. Yup. That’s how we’ll do it.
14 decimal places is more accuracy than you’d ever need.
Consider the size of what you’re measuring.
I’m American so you’re getting SAE units, deal with it.
If we have a radius of 1", the circumference of my object is 6.283185 or so inches around. Maybe it’s 6.283186. the difference between those two numbers is one one hundred thousandths of an inch. About 25 nanometers. Half the size of the smallest bacterium we’ve ever discovered.
That is with 6 decimal places. With 8 you can measure a circumference with an accuracy to the single atom. Any smaller than that, and you start charging the result by measuring it at all.
