My stairs are pretty steep does that count?

Carmel should be the hard version and caramel is the soft kind.

Boneless wings are just chicken nuggets.

Nuggets are minced, no?

Wings are dark meat only, and taste different.

It's "different from", not "different than", goddammit.

Thirteen months, 28 days each + one day. (Plus another day when there is a leap year).

It would just work.

That's a cool thought experiment on what we do with that extra day. Like super ball out cookout?

"an historic" is wrong and terrible if you pronounce the "h"

[โ€“] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

"A historical" does sound a lot like "ahistorical" when spoken out loud.

Just an observation I just made.

[โ€“] Malgas@beehaw.org 1 points 1 hour ago

Not in my accent. I would pronounce the first 'a' as /ษ™/ and the second as /eษช/.

[โ€“] beastlykings@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Could you elaborate? I'm dumb.

According to my pet peeve, this looks fine? I just scrolled past a meme that said something like "download a ISO" and I was like gah, no, it's AN ISO.

[โ€“] ADTJ@feddit.uk 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Some people pronounce the h and some don't. They're saying it sounds bad to say "an his..."

Oh I get it, I guess I never heard it pronounced that way. British maybe?

Time zones shouldn't exist. There should just be UTC time and you would go to work at the equivalent of your morning time.

[โ€“] easily3667@lemmus.org 1 points 9 minutes ago* (last edited 3 minutes ago)

Why? Youd still have to memorize the time differential and subtraction isn't hard.

The only example of this is china where it's used as a tool of oppression for the western parts of the country. (https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/8/9/conflict-over-the-clock-china-among-countries-where-time-is-political)

[โ€“] chobeat@lemmy.ml 3 points 7 hours ago

It would just be much easier to use UTC as the standard for all cross-timezone activities. The small portion of the population who needs to think about timezones would just have to add another timezone to their digital tools and the others won't have to do anything.
