What’s crazy is the original poster was something of a superuser on reddit. First to 1 million karma iirc
And he lost basically all popularity after that comment.
In retrospect: it was pedantic but so mundane. He was just being a prototypical redditor
Here’s the thing. You said a “jackdaw is a crow.”
Is it in the same family? Yes. No one’s arguing that.
As someone who is a scientist who studies crows, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls jackdaws crows. If you want to be “specific” like you said, then you shouldn’t either. They’re not the same thing.
If you’re saying “crow family” you’re referring to the taxonomic grouping of Corvidae, which includes things from nutcrackers to blue jays to ravens.
So your reasoning for calling a jackdaw a crow is because random people “call the black ones crows?” Let’s get grackles and blackbirds in there, then, too.
Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It’s not one or the other, that’s not how taxonomy works. They’re both. A jackdaw is a jackdaw and a member of the crow family. But that’s not what you said. You said a jackdaw is a crow, which is not true unless you’re okay with calling all members of the crow family crows, which means you’d call blue jays, ravens, and other birds crows, too. Which you said you don’t.
It’s okay to just admit you’re wrong, you know?

I am not! I hadn’t heard of it until just now. Very neat project.
No I’m just someone with a particular interest in corvids who feels represented by a god of Thought that is a bird
What a mediocre story
And I don’t see them serving Panda Express in Beijing. The point is not authenticity it’s that different cultures take what they perceived to be another culture’s food and bend it to their preferences.
But mostly I was making a joke because of its name.
That’s Pizza Americana though
… Men are also ~20% larger than women on average. Is this count standardized by size of the person?
Americans in Massachusetts are able to install solar panels and run their house.
It’s not like a cloudy day means 0% generation
Vista was a nightmare 8 was awful
Windows has consistently released 1 good, 1 bad for a long time now.
The thing is I think win11 is terminal. It’s just forever windows because they can milk it for ads without needing to iterate.
As an off instance user: great decisions! Strong migration makes for strong communities.
It’s the inverse that is true actually -
As Lemmy becomes more popular it will drift from being so tech focused.
Many popular sites gradually drifted off of tech focus as their user base grew. R*ddit is a prime example of how a very nerdy niche site grew and shifted to be popular (sorta) organically.
I do think that for all the hullabaloo about Ellen Pao and banning a bunch of subreddits - that actually did more to open the place up to users who were otherwise driven away by /r/FatPeopleHate and /r/Jailbait being on the front page all the time.
If Lemmy were to change to attract users it would likely be from increased defederation with instances that are less palatable to mainstream society.
Also Italian.
… Not that there’s much of an Italosphere but “Americano” vuol dire “Person from the United States”
The only statistic that matters is sold not occupied and even that is only useful if it excludes houses that just haven’t been moved into yet.
The majority of those figures are just showing that houses are unoccupied in resort towns because there’s nothing there half the year or that houses sit empty for a month while a new renter is sorted out or a new owner is moving in.
We don’t need to shove the homeless into a remote resort town where they have no access to services - we need more housing in our cities where support networks can help those in need.
The fact is that there arent enough houses to house every homeless person in the USA and maintain sufficient housing stock for people to move houses.
Anything below a 5% vacancy rate is considered a housing shortage - it indicates there’s too much demand for housing and not enough supply.
Very few American cities are sitting at or above 5% vacancy.
That’s one of the reasons it was popularized - coal miner unions wearing red bandanas. But late 19th century usage appears to be sunburnt workers.
It’s less idiocy and more laziness. Any amount of inconvenience is too much for a lot of humans, unfortunately.
Shure != Bose, but also I don’t think you can shower in the Shure IEMs. Maybe with a case or something on them.
I use Aftershokz for something like shower listening but those are the opposite of your problem - they’re bone conduction so they do not block any sound.
Also to be clear - my earbuds are wireless in that they just clip to my belt loop with the Bluetooth receiver. So I can have them out of the way but easily available.
I know you’re specifically looking for ANC but given the price range have you looked at something like a good quality pair of wired IEMs with a pair of tightly fitted ear tips?
I ride the notoriously loud (94dba) NYC subway with them and it deadens most of the noise.
I used to wear my Shure 215s to sleep no problem. I’ve had them a couple years now and love them.
I’ve got a Qudelix 5K Bluetooth receiver that lets my plug in any wired headphones to it and it’s great. I’ll be replacing the battery here in the next year or two which is a bit fiddly but is at least doable - unlike earbuds.
My setup was about $200-$250 total and it’s modular so replacing any part of it is cheaper.
Because none of the crew can step foot on American soil. It’s a Singaporean vessel with an Indian and Sri Lankan crew. They don’t have visas and so they’re denied entry.
The bureaucracy of DHS knows no limits and has no compassion.
Kalih Choc are great. I like that plan.
Oh yeah it’s not like it stopped him in reality but it burned his most popular acct
