Like the Gwyneth Paltrow stuff?

Or the 90s mechanic soap? Does that still exist? I don’t know.

You don’t have to buy one with a window.

Hell I saw fridges with Android screens and I’m like hell naw. I did get a smart one so I can get notifications if the kid leaves the door open and so I can track power consumption over time without sticking a kill-a-watt in a really tough spot. But the Android systems they put in fridges feel obsolete on the showroom floor. Absolutely embarrassing, and probably completely useless after about 4 or 5 years when Android stops supporting the SoC and when you stop getting root certificate updates and start getting SSL errors on every page and app.

It sucks because a lot of places around me don’t carry powder. I’d much rather be using that than the gel.

I’m not sure how to interpret this comment.

Are you saying you’ve been staring at a lot of AI generated children?

Would you like to take a seat right over there?

Wait when did J&J cause skin cancer? I’ve only known of the asbestos baby powder.

Many WMs allow for moving a window by holding alt, left-clicking anywhere in the window, and dragging it to move, by default.

Some use Super+Drag. They usually also have resizing the window by right-click-dragging.

The best thing since wrestling.

jasondj, to memes in The value of 9/11 is collapsing in front of our eyes

It’s proportional, as in how much of a spike it is on the countries average daily deaths.

Not that it matters. It became obvious that using “one 9/11” as a unit of measurement was no longer shocking a few months into 2020.

Don’t reuse passwords!

But make them complicated!

Don’t write them down!

Change them every week!

Those were Jesus’s last words.

Probably so they could keep an eye on the toenails on the non-operating foot.

There’s a reason they tell you not to wear nail polish before surgery. The nailbeds are one of the best ways to detect cyanosis caused by low oxygen levels in blood.

I’d imagine a “control foot” is probably preferential, and it’s easier to keep an eye on the other foot during surgery than it is to keep an eye on their fingernails.

Have a routine set up.

“Hey Google…Release the kraken”.

jasondj, to asklemmy in What are your favorite names?

My kid was on a tee ball team with the coaches youngest son. The coaches two older sons were assistant coaches and the youngest was named “Maverick”.

Like, yeah, that kids set up to become an MLB Superstar. Or at least a washed-up alcoholic former Double-A in player.

Funny story, specifically on the name “Idaho”, from Wikipedia’s article on the state, “Etymology” Section:

The name’s origin remains a mystery.[9] In the early 1860s, when the U.S. Congress was considering organizing a new territory in the Rocky Mountains, the name “Idaho” was suggested by George M. Willing, a politician posing as an unrecognized delegate from the unofficial Jefferson Territory.[10] Willing claimed that the name was derived from a Shoshone term meaning “the sun comes from the mountains” or “gem of the mountains”,[11] but it was revealed later that there was no such term and Willing claimed that he had been inspired to coin the name when he met a little girl named Ida.[12] Since the name appeared to be fabricated, the U.S. Congress ultimately decided to name the area Colorado Territory instead when it was created in February 1861, but by the time this decision was made, the town of Idaho Springs, Colorado had already been named after Willing’s proposal.

The same year Congress created Colorado Territory, a county called Idaho County was created in eastern Washington Territory. The county was named after a steamship named Idaho, which was launched on the Columbia River in 1860. It is unclear whether the steamship was named before or after Willing’s claim was revealed. Regardless, part of Washington Territory, including Idaho County, was used to create Idaho Territory in 1863.[13] Idaho Territory would later change its boundaries to the area that became the U.S. state.[14]
