It’d be high on my list if it wasn’t for the 2 major versions of support. So little lifespan!

Totally agree, and I want the mtg memes you’d provide instead.

On that note, anything mtg on the fediverse that you’ve found?

Absolutely, if you’re serious about sensory science!

At the large craft brewery I worked in we trained on like… ~40 attributes? Weekly usually, with taste panel and impromptu trainings most every day.

Yup! I know, I was an expert taster at a large brewery :)

It was fun! And a little bit ruined some beer for me.

It’s also an off flavor that tasters train for in beer, from water inclusion. It’s not good for beer but I don’t mind the smell at all

Very beet-flavored to me

I live(d) in Asheville, NC for a decade. I’ve had the power go out pretty often, most recently for Hurricane Helene (4 days for us, and we were on the low end!). Seeing a 24-48 outage is frequent here.

We have our house wired for a generator, so it’s mostly about a cycle of rationing fuel to keep the fridge cold, charge things while it’s on, use water and fill things while it’s on (we are on a well not city water).

Beyond that, reading books, playing handheld games like the Steam Deck, lots of talking. Losing power is not the worst thing most of the time to me.

But actually, I don’t for political stuff because it is so freaking depressing, and you can’t affect it much.

I love reading science articles though!

I didn’t read your question but “yes”

Thank you!

I think about these a lot. It’s a cool way to frame “how do we communicate to someone who may not share any languages or even iconography with us?”

Almost alien to think about. So cool.

The fact that me and a coworker can’t both share our screens at the same time is absolutely batshit. 1x1 collaboration isn’t even reasonable, nevermind anything more

Surely just mostly different keywords

🐾 Animal #470 🐔 I figured it out in 2 guesses! 🟥🟩 🔥 1 | Avg. Guesses: 7.8

Holy crap, incredibly lucky guess for me

Kauai Coffee is a relatively large operation that exports to the continental US and is more like $9 retail (and perpetually on sale for $7.50 or so) for a 10oz bag in the grocery store.

It’s not cheap coffee, but it’s certainly not top of the line priced coffee.

They do make some coffees that are more than $25/lb, but not the "regular* stuff people would buy in a store.

Of course I agree that their price will go up with the market with tariffs introduced, and that in general the tariffs are a terrible, terrible idea.

I feel the same, I’ve had a bunch of pixels since the 2

I’m going to be buying a Fairphone 5 when my current pixel needs replacing, which is coming soonish

Right, for sure if you were to pluralize emoji (which is singular) it wouldn’t be emojus in japanese.

I was gonna toss some guesses here but it’s a word I don’t think you pluralize really, as we don’t in English

Ah my favorite false cognate isn’t here, that means I get to post about it!

Emoticon :) is emotion + icon in English, invented in the 80s or early 90s. Exactly what you think.

Emoji is Japanese 絵文字 which basically translates to “picture character”. That word has been around for a long time; I don’t know that I can put a date to it. But certainly a lot older than computers.

They just happen to sound similar

In reality, you’re asking a VERY left part of the internet. Florida is a diverse and varied pla…

Nah just kidding, fuck Florida. Hawaii is incredible, too, and I’d really consider it if the budget allows. Also look at Bermuda, Bahamas, Puerto Rico

Echo that, same

That’s so cool!

How old (ish) were you when you moved?

Did you speak any Japanese before?

Any consideration towards relocating again?

Any other stories you want to share?
