Hmm, so is it light-based? If a werewolf is on a shaded side of the moon, no werewolf, but if the sun shines on them, werewolf time?

Would make for some interesting fiction, actually. Space werewolves that only come out during a lunar day, night is the only safe time.

Guessing the deadly nightclub fire in Switzerland last week.

I heard a joke once: Man turns on computer. Goes to edit settings. Needs a patch to fix a system deficiency. Can’t find any other solution. Windows says, “The fix is simple. Only a system administrator can make these changes. Go call one. That should take care of it.” Man bursts into tears. Says, “But Windows… I am the system administrator.” Good joke. Everybody laugh. Upgrade to enterprise for $199.99. Curtains.

I count it as a handheld because every switch can be used as a handheld, while not every switch can be used as a home console.

So I guess why wouldn’t the Switch Lite be counted in those sales? It’s the same device, sans detachable controllers and docking capabilities.

It’s like calling a phone that you can plug into a monitor with peripherals a “desktop”

And a couple of them (PS3, 360) aren’t even pixelated.

Plus the Switch is a handheld, which makes it a weird distinction to make.

Switch has a good chance of overtaking PS2 before the end of its lifespan. The Switch is still selling and still getting game releases.

I think the complaint is that the start menu searches the Internet at all in the first place.

Some electric toothbrushes have these gimmicky features where they can map your mouth while you brush and report on your hygiene habits to tell you how effectively you’re brushing, or even nag you if you don’t brush enough. Guessing that’s the kind they have.

So for the manufacturer, why allow the device to simply use a local account to track that information, when instead they can force you to register an account online and associate your brushing habits with all of the other shadowy telemetry data being collected about us online?

I wish my wife could play subnautica with me

Well she’s too busy taking care of young Molly to be able to make the time. Maybe have Worf babysit?

Can we start a petition to move September/October/November/December to have September land where July currently is, and then current November and December become Undecember and Duodecember to make the numbers line up again?

And then the next year it’ll just uncurl a bit and turn to show us its ass.

I have to call bullshit on this whole thing, no way one guy can hold two records for the world’s oldest and second oldest cats, even if there was a specific lifestyle.

Reads to me like the Mediterranean diet myth, where all these unusually long-lived pensioners in southern Europe turned out to just be relatives covering up the person’s death to continue collecting money.

Just seems like an attention grab to me. People will try to be famous for anything.

Jisho.org is a fairly helpful site for finding words like that. Sometimes you have to scroll a bit to find the “loanword” version of a term, but it helps with showing different nuances of translated words when looking them up.

Unfortunately I think it’s EN-JP only, but helpful if you know the English word you want.

Just say “…, n” after a few numbers, done.

…What?

The year ending in December predates Jesus.

The less colorful tufted titmouse common around here is actually my favorite variety. But honestly I just love birds.

Honestly one of my favorite birds, though. They’re just adorable.

I’m not a linguistics expert and this is just me offering an unsolicited layman’s opinion, but perhaps the nuance comes from whether or not one might still conceive of the words being related despite the acknowledged difference in definition?

For example, “bat” (the animal) and “bat” (the implement) are homonyms that are used to describe two clearly different things. But maybe one might think of “scale” being connected between its various uses when it is not. “Scale” (the measuring tool) uses plates which are similar to the flat plates of fish scales. Or that to “scale” a distance is like measuring a “scale” of height. Something like that.
