At least in my dialect (US northeast) clothes and close don't quite share a pronunciation. They're similar enough that you could probably fully elide the th sound, and I'm not sure anyone would notice.

When I pronounce clothes I can still feel my tongue move into the th position, and hear a small difference.

Immigrant/emigrant sound too similar to be generally usable. Lawless and lazy probably aren't the culprit here.

You can, but plugging thumb drives into work machines is not always kosher

One of the uses of notepad was also that it's installed by default, and was a place you could be assured wouldn't mess with your text. No formatting, no weird characters you didn't ask for.

Notepad++ is great, but you can't be assured it's installed on any arbitrary Windows machine.

Shortening the longer leg is much less invasive and probably preferred, but the discrepancy has to be caught very early. You need years of measurements to predict exactly how long each leg will be and when. If you have those, there's a pretty small window when the long leg is exactly the right length to tell it to stop growing.

Several offices have a minimum age defined in the Constitution. President's is 35

6 instances, 1087 communities, 27 users.

I should probably look at unblocking the instances. I used those blocks early on to remove a massive number of communities I was uninterested in, but it has the side effect of also functionally blocking those users.

I do wish there were better tagging and filtering tools. Some of the communities I've blocked might have posts I'm interested in, but there's currently no way to surface those from under the mountain of memes.

I'd also love to be able to block posts but not comments from specific users. There's a handful of topics I don't care about, and some of the blocked users are just very interested in those topics.

And auto collapse comments with inline images (although that's more of an app feature than a Lemmy feature).

Yeah, a few seconds with a fork, and toasting the bread or swapping to crackers and you're basically at something that's fit to give to others again.

Variant on your dish: bake sweet potato, add cottage cheese and eat immediately. Add sweet or savory seasonings to taste. It's not something I'd bring to share, but it's definitely not something I'll hide. As far as quick and dirty meals, it's reasonably healthy, and probably not the worst suggestion for someone who struggles to cook for themselves.

Actual goblin food: canned black olives between two slices of bread, smush down to prevent them from rolling out.

My brain did something similar, but maybe weirder.

7 + 3 + 6, rather than 9 + 1 + 6.

Mammals are supposed to have hair. Don't try to pretend you've seen a whale with a bob or braids. Ishmael was 100% right here.

There's a chapter where Ishmael gets mad that all the whales are named wrong. He spends a while renaming them better.

It's a very odd book. I quite liked it, but it's definitely in the recommend with caution group.
