This is one of those incidents that is infuriating for the parents when it happens, but will then end up being a story that they cherish and keep telling everyone they can for a long time.
As the parent to a 5 year old, I feel this sooooo much.
I'm having to change my "just-a-second", as she takes it literally - a second is counted. I now say just-a-minute. Frozen got it bang on when Anna says "just give us a minute " and you can hear Olaf quietly start counting to 60.
It probably is at that retailer – although that’s not that good of a price for a good pan locally.
The Vietnamese market is super demanding when it comes to these things, it really drives price down and quality up. I bought a large, quite good, enameled cast iron pot recently for less than this pan costs :D
Shake off? I suspect she took a bite and inhaled some of the spice the coughed. Hilariously. Kind of like watching the cinnamon challenge that almost always results in a cough of powder.
For a compressor to catch fire there must have been other issues. Simply leaving a fridge door open should not be sufficient to have a catastrophic failure - an overheat cut out should have tripped. Still, good that you had CYA under control.
Ideally there would have been a way to merge threads and preserve the comments from both. Too late now I guess, but something to keep in mind next time something like this happens I suppose..
I would presume the instance is important here? I usually browse just the local communities(? or sublemmies). I still like to explore Lemmy but get too much uninteresting stuff if I browse the whole federation. Guess some others think the same way.
I probably would have never read this story if it only existed on kbin (and Reddit, but I almost haven’t touched Reddit since end of June, only one to read the message that the coins are discontinued)
Ditto, except it's kbin.social in my case rather than lemmy.world

That can be the case, sometimes issues with federation can cause threads to get lost across instances, and a new instance may not get all the existing threads on a pre-existing magazine.
However, it looks like both your account and this magazine are hosted on lemmy.world - since you're both on the same instance, you should have been able to see the older posts on this magazine. (Note: magazine is the kbin term for lemmy communities - i prefer it as the term community can be ambiguous). I've never used lemmy proper so am not sure how that works, but on kbin you can view the older threads on a magazine quite easily.
When I had my first job as a receptionist, our fax still printed on thermal paper rolls and we had a particularly bright customer fax us a 50 page contract. I was almost in tears as I watched a newly replaced very expensive roll getting wasted in minutes. I called my supervisor to vent and he walked to my desk with a sharpie, wrote IMCOMPLETE across the roll and said “fax it back to them”. They were calling us back in less than a minute screeching on the phone to stop transmission.
