Generally relatively clean, though flavored liquors may contain sugar and most liqueurs do.

it's like saying he gave me a $20 and promised $150,000, check is in the mail

Don’t undersell it. You are under by two orders of magnitude. This is a “Lego set : nice house” or “used car : lottery jackpot” kind of ratio

Tank leaking toxic chemicals in Orange County will spill or explode, officials say in c/globalnews@lemmy.zip

So… spill or catastrophically spill. Can they induce the less catastrophic failure?

But cooling the tank is important because the chemical’s flashpoint is 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius), according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.

“Unfortunately I do have to report that the temperature was 90 degrees,” Covey said Saturday. “Yesterday morning it was 77 degrees when we backed down. It’s been averaging about a degree an hour increasing.”

Oh dear…

I'm optimistic that it will only be several months to a year before more are available with how the hardware market has been fucked. Surely the unfuckening is imminent.

You don’t need DIY fingers for basic blackout curtains.

As long as the blinds aren’t completely in the way, a tension rod (spring loaded curtain rod) is cheap and just slips into place wherever you need to fit it.

Just like those completely innocuous laws in Idaho that were definitely not tacitly targeted at pride flags.

Is it just me, or do “hehe”, “hehehe”, and “hehehehe” mean different things? (fedia.io)
 

I’ve always considered that texting “hehe” is a light chuckle, a “heh heh” sound; “hehehe” is more of a giggle, whether coy or creepy; and any more “he”s than that delves into witchy cackling territory.

In contrast “haha”, “hahaha”, and “hahahaha”, all sound the same in my head, and the meaning only varies in intensity but is more context dependent.

What if we got Ea-Nasir wrong? (fedia.io)
 

What if Nanni was the kind of person that complains that the Great Sand Dunes National Park is too sandy, and we have the complaint (presumably found in his house) because Ea-Nasir kept it to remind himself never to do business with Nanni again.

There is a special place in hell for modern manufacturers of devices that have a USB-C port, but won’t charge from a modern USB-C charger. (fedia.io)
 

I just went to charge my kitchen scale and it wouldn’t work until I dug out a USB-A -> C cable and plugged it into my desktop…

It just reminded me of how many devices like that I have. This scale, my wife’s sound torc, some car jumperstarters, and I think a one or two more…

I assume it’s because they just slap a usbc port on a dumb 5v circuit that doesn’t have a power negotiation controller. So the cable and the charger cant figure out the power needs of the device are and just never send any.

Does measles effect allergies? (fedia.io)
 

DISCLAIMER: I am in no way advocating for the spreading of a highly contagious and deadly disease or the abstention from safe and highly effective vaccines. But, this is No Stupid Questions, so…

Measles is known for wiping out your immune system memory and re-endangering you to pathogens you had once successfully fought off.

Allergies are when your immune system misidentifies something harmless (like pollen or peanuts) as a harmful pathogen and triggers an immune response.

So, what happens to allergies in people who get measles? Does it wipe out the immune system’s memory of the allergen? Does it expose them to develop new allergies? Do we even know whether it does anything to allergies at all, or has it never been studied? What about other auto immune diseases?

Secondly, if it does do something, is there some way that it can be utilized to help allergy sufferers? Not in the “give people a deadly contagious disease” kind of way (I’ve heard of the tapeworm thing), but is there something there that could studied and developed into a targeted drug or treatment? Or is the mechanism just too broad and dangerous.
