Depending on where they are, a washing machine in the kitchen might be a thing. It’s very common in the UK, for example.
Some middle-aged guy on the Internet. Seen a lot of it, occasionally regurgitating it, trying to be amusing and informative.
Lurked Digg until v4. Commented on Reddit (same username) until it went full Musk.
Was on kbin.social (dying/dead) and kbin.run (mysteriously vanished). Now here on fedia.io.
Really hoping he hasn’t brought the jinx with him.

I can see this being stirred up by Russian influence. And even if it isn’t, it’s a dangerous time for this to happen. Georgia could well be on Putin’s to-do list whether he succeeds in Ukraine or not.
Except we’re the things living, with required rent, inside skulls.
I hear that watching the evolution from eohippus to horse needs a lot of batteries.
“Now watch what happens when I slap it.”
Interface designers make mistakes, but I don’t think they’d make the mistake of allowing a negative sign anywhere on it. You could try for integer overflow, but that’s gonna be really bad if you guess wrong.
Officially unknown, yeah, but the main suspect denies it’s him. What’s interesting is that the way he denied it (“We are all Banksy”) could mean everyone or just him and his closest associates in a collective, giving any one of them, including him, the ability to deny it.
Someone smarter than me once pointed out that there could be a universe where magic is real only because there’s a group of people who have never had a magical incantation or action fail, purely by chance.
I liked the idea of that to the point that I went on to imagine that there’d be universes where that magic just suddenly stopped working one day because of well overdue regression to the mean and no-one there would have any idea why.
And then you could take that to the extreme: That one universe where the day they finally work out that magic had been random, incredible happenstance the whole time, only for it all to start happening again, just to mess with them.
“I don’t know”

(This is Cy&H after all)
You just reminded me how my local Co-op downsized (basically walled off the back half of the store) and they did rearrange everything to accommodate that. They used to sell electronics and all sorts of things and suddenly they had none of that and a whole bunch of products also vanished. I’ll grant you that it didn’t change much before or after that though.
But then I’m talking about the company known as Co-op here in the UK, who are excessively fond of charging no less than 10% more than other supermarkets for the same products, then close their stores in confusion when people shop elsewhere, so maybe this is a different thing altogether. They started out as a co-operative, but they stripped all that back and they’re just another, expensive, mini-mart chain now.
As a wise philosopher* once pointed out, we only need look to a calendar to see that our days are numbered.
I use the term loosely. Pretty sure this was a Garfield joke.
if the ethnic cleansing ramps up
I guess I don’t want to see what qualifies as “ramped up” if the current state of affairs is anything to go by. (Loud whisper: Because it’s already up.)
Most often it’s done because of a developmental problem where one leg segment has come out slightly shorter than its counterpart on the other leg, affecting gait and posture. Only one or two bones need to be lengthened if the patient is lucky. Shortening the other leg is probably also an option, but I figure people would want to do something to the affected leg, rather than muck about with the “healthy” one.
There is at least one instance that I recall where someone born with a form of dwarfism had all four limbs - all twelve bones - extended to “normal” length. As to whether it was strictly ethical to do that is an entirely different matter, considering the patient was a child.
I mean, it’s definitely the best time of life to have the lengthening done what with bones being greener and still growing anyway, but the patient wasn’t exactly in the position to be making an informed decision about whether they wanted to go through it.
The leg lengthening we can do these days doesn’t need or cause a DNA change. Look it up. It’s simultaneously fascinating and horrifying.
Wait until you learn the original joke dialogue was “Are you worried about mad cow disease?” and “No, I’m a tractor.”. I kind of messed up on the first line previously because either work with the punchline.
Orcas are in the dolphin family which is a branch of the whale family, specifically those with teeth rather than baleen. Compare how humans are in the ape family which is a branch of the primate family, specifically those that are less arboreal and lack tails. If we can say humans are primates, we can definitely say that orcas are whales.
Sea-star Cee-kay? Presumably the oddly named daughter of a disgraced comedian.

If he’d weep at all, it wouldn’t be because a woman says she wouldn’t be interested in him because of his politics – it’d be because of what’s become of his politics.
