There’s enough time in between now and then it’s possible the worst will have passed and we’ll be putting things back together.

Cheese is not mold, though. Blue cheese contains it, other kinds are milk solids and maybe some bacteria.

Edit: To answer the question: Soy can be turned into either bioplastic or food. Pure carbon can be diamonds or soot/coal/graphite. Electrical resistance can either be unwanted waste or the primary purpose of the circuit (like in a space heater).

Yup, there’s a specific pattern for each time signature, and if you get really lost you can tell where in the measure you should be by them.

The patterns for cursed time signatures are equally cursed.

TBF sometimes the conductor is the original composer. Just obviously not usually, at least if it’s a very successful piece or they’re dead.

1. It’s like a semaphore type thing, the position of the baton shows where the beat is, and the conductor can signal other things as well like “emphasis here” or “quieter” with body language. An orchestra where everyone does their own thing wouldn’t sound very good.
2. It’s hard to get up and bow with certain instruments, there might not be space, and you couldn’t see past the first row very well anyway. I always assumed the bow by the conductor was on behalf of everyone.

I mean, there are TikTok trends which are basically the same thing. It’s just that you’re on Lemmy instead like a nerd.

(Yes, that was a self-own)

From what I’ve heard about Windows, it works more like the Simpsons “Barney coming up behind Moe” meme.

So, as it should be, Tux.

Pretty much. That wasn’t a complaint - it’s not sexy (it actually tends to liminal, with weird holdovers from multiple eras), but it works, and the healthcare received is seamless as soon as you’ve been identified as reasonably sick.

Or the old repurposed Tsarist ballrooms.

Very identical, sprawling lowrise construction, and not necessarily used as originally intended. I swear the pre-op area before my last surgery was originally a parking garage that they’d put up room dividers in. And just an absolute maze of them, backrooms style.

It’s cheap to build and maintain. It just gets called “institutional architecture” sometimes.

Some of the schools I went to were architecturally interesting, but you bet there was still a lot of cinderblock, steel and harsh lighting.

Hospitals in my Canadian province often have the same vibe, although they start getting into that communist architecture feeling a bit, too.

It kind of is sometimes, but at the same time it’s hard to do education any other way.

Which I think just illustrates that take-home essays aren’t a great way to do things now, if they ever were.

Skill issue. Used an implied “of them”, which is idiomatic in the language, but forgot to update the value of “them” first. Without that, taking the first value is compliant with the standard.

/s, but only if we assume us programmers have common sense. ^/s

You know, I always assumed black people wouldn’t have the kamikaze-bugs-against-your face problem. If so, this is an ironic choice of template.

Because I would have to go do that.

I’m not even sure being recognised is a plus.

Most European languages have no equivalent, since everything is gendered, not just pronouns. Efforts to embed equality in those languages go the other way - adding female gendered terms for male-dominated professions and vice-verse, as opposed to removing gender which is just too hard.

Russian in particular is spoken in places where they’re hostile to the whole idea. They have a neuter gender, and you might see it used in a mocking “it” kind of way for queer people of all kinds.

For languages outside the Indo-European and Afro-Asiatic families it’s usually a moot issue; 3/4 have no grammatical gender features at all.

Which open source projects have large expenses? Buying the creator a coffee is nice, but if money is actually required for something to exist I’d rather give there.

Right now I’m extremely poor, but maybe someday I’ll be in the same boat as OP. My Lemmy instance and Tor come to mind, and then maybe Wikipedia, although I know their aggressive fundraising has already worked.

Edit: Oh shit, the Invidious instance I use should probably go first.

A million? It will break.

Ten or a hundred thousand would be good, though. I expect as it grows it will follow the community trajectory of Reddit pretty well, although we’ll know not to nominate ourselves detective when there’s a marathon bombing.

Can’t argue about bases if you refuse to elaborate beyond Presburger arithmetic. (Guy pointing at head meme)

It’s Zelensky’s first language, even. I think he avoids it now, but if it’s that or English I would hope there’d be no judgement.

Edit: And it shares a lot of vocabulary and ~all grammar with Russian, anyway.
