You should’ve posted the whole article, it was an interesting read

When combined with other data on the same line and written without the slash, it usually won’t mean not applicable.

If it’s in some sort of published professional context, I wouldn’t read it as not applicable without the slash.

North America is a reasonable guess when specifying region could be context appropriate. Like you said with video game team names, but also company/org names, species common names, or treaties.

Both halves open externally. But I’m still getting thumbnails, not the pair of buttons.

Inline images also don’t load. I’m definitely not complaining about that. Ideally I’d want alt text to load, with the option to expand to image. I’ll happily take a bug preventing loading over Lemmy’s default.

It’s not simply a reading comprehension thing with bullet points. If your questions require research on my end having them already structured in bullets does a few things to help with that process.

The asker’s bullet structure gives something to mimic. You can even put your answers directly below the question, so the asker can be reminded of their own questions.

The bullets also help skimming, if I need to see which item id is needed next it’s easier to do so without losing my place.

Bullet grammar structure also allows for much terser sentences. If I need to reread your question it’s easier if I don’t have to ignore a bunch of words that don’t substantively alter the meaning.

Do I need any of these? No. Could I put the questions into bullets myself for the reply? Sure. But it’s easier to spend more time and effort on answering your questions if you save me a few steps.

Max Brod claimed he told Kaka he wasn’t going to burn his works and that he needed to appoint a different executor if he wanted that. We don’t have anything more than Brod’s word, but if it’s true, that makes it hard to feel bad about him getting Kafka published.

I had heard books having titles on their spine is relatively recent. Partially due to books being stored like they are here, to prevent the pages from rotting. Allegedly titles started to be printed on spines with Alice in Wonderland, at least for mass-produced books.

I’m having trouble coming up with a source, Wikipedia mentions early books not having titles on the spine, but doesn’t mention storage or when this practice changed. Or a source. That’s as far as I was able to track any of this down.

All this to say, there might be prior precedent for this. Which for me moves her behavior (even if that’s not her stated reason) towards eccentric, rather than book-hating.

At the start of the word it’s an acute accent. Like in école or état.

I don’t have quite the same issues, but I am fairly regularly running into issues where software on the other device is asking to play audio, and stealing focus. Make sure to mute unpredictable sources of sound (like Windows sounds or phone notifications).

Bluetooth devices and/or software implementations of audio are incredibly buggy.

Examples:

• Saying “OK Google” does this, and sometimes detects other sounds. I have to try to never say Google if I’m on Discord for example.

• Google Photos: the memories have audio, and will steal focus even if the audio is off.

• Spotify will sometimes get in a mode where it will constantly lose focus, even though nothing else appears to be demanding audio. When this is happening playback in other apps on my phone will continue to work as expected. This only appears to occur when my computer is on and connected to the headset via Bluetooth.

Other Bluetooth issues:

• Old games may not reliably play audio over Bluetooth. Fallout New Vegas would regularly get into a state where sound effects & voice wouldn’t play, but the radio might continue. Plugging in speakers and using those for New Vegas worked, but introduced other buggy behavior.

• Calls may request exclusive access to the Bluetooth device. Like if you’re on Discord, game audio may fail to play, rather than just playing in a degraded quality, or some other more graceful failover. This may be fixed, I’ve had it work at least once with other headphones, but haven’t tested it further. I just have an external microphone now, and have disabled the “headset” functionality in Windows.

Multi-point may solve your issue, but be aware that what you’re asking for may introduce a bunch of new problems. I still use Bluetooth headphones frequently, and in the way OP seems to want, but there are still significant growing pains, and I’m not sure I can recommend it.

This was recommended when I made my account. There weren’t any regional communities for where I’m from, so Finland seems as good a choice as any.

I’m not sure I made an informed decision, but if there are real downsides to my choice I haven’t noticed them yet. I seem to be able to see the things I want to. I have to use the block button liberally, but I can’t see that being instance related. It’s largely due to using All at times, and not having strong enough tagging/filtering tools to make that workable without blocking tons of communities that are fine, but not for me.

Here I took part of the point being that you can practice, and to some extent you may be unwittingly doing so. That’s part of the upward trend. That’s part of having to localized the test for a culture. We’re to some extent practicing just due to the world immediately around us.

Should you or your kid intentionally practice? Probably not, but I took practicing and mentioning that to be part of the larger point that the test can be predictive for some things, but isn’t destiny.

Good note on mold. I considered saying black mold, and for whatever reason decided against it.

Great recommendation! I’ve made this many times.

Some additional notes:

With the limited budget, I would recommend eating the onion halves rather than discarding them.

And if an onion is too much produce, onion powder will work. Both onion and garlic powder are reasonable options, especially in any recipe that cooks a while. Especially given your limited budget, do not shake any spices directly into the pot (they’ll start to clump). Always put spices in another dish (like your bowl, you can always rinse it if you feel the need), or your hand and then add them to the pot.

Onions will keep for quite a while in a cool dark place, and can still be used even if they start to go off.

• Soft spot? Cut it off

• Sprouting? That’s edible, chuck it in too

• Mold? If it’s black mold, Peel off all layers with evidence of mold, or wash it off, it’s probably only on the top layer

In any of these cases, you might consider using twice as much onion as the recipe calls for, to try and use up as much as you can.

Carrots and celery can also keep for similar amounts of time in the fridge, and bad spots can be cut out. They can also be added in a lot of places where they’re not asked for. I understand that produce might be challenging, but even if you only make it to the grocery store once a month, these may still be an option.
