Except it literally does.

The oldest known record of that use is from the 1700s, and prescriptivists didn’t start whining about it in any significant amount until 100 years ago.

Primary thought; secondary (interjectory thought [aside]) thought, supporting thought that wouldn’t work as an independent sentence, digression: the actual point.

Brown is the new orange

Maybe Microsoft will buy them.

That’s a contributing factor on the comparative desirability of an electric kettle here vs there, but I think the more significant part boils down to familiarity and need. Most Americans just don’t drink tea/cocoa/instant-coffee regularly enough want a separate appliance for it. And if the boiling is for cooking, most folk would just boil the water in the pot they will be cooking in, and probably with the lid off because we are lazy like that; time and energy efficiency be damned.

Hug time!

I had to look it up because I hardly ever actually buy mayonnaise, but I’ve walked down the mayonnaise aisle at the supermarket… What’s funny is that your 600g “50% more: American size” is actually a tweener size here.

The standard small jar here is 15 Floz (about 400g; we sell mayo by volume here apparently). The standard large jar is double that. And of course we have less common, but not uncommon, 48 Floz for “family size” and larger still in bulk.

We do have containers that are between or smaller, but the those are usually specialty containers (mainly squeeze bottles), specialty types (such as avocado oil based or flavored/blends), or just less common in general.

who’d ever’ve thought it?

Nah. I just do little twerk and it shakes all the dribbles off.

Lol. Abortion rights are a part of the MI constitution. All this would do is establish that some “homicide” is legal. What a kumquat.

Huh… didn’t expect it to be available in the US. Nice!

The 5 had been on my radar, but unfortunately, I had given up on it ever coming stateside and replaced my 7yo phone just a few months ago. I hope I get to try a fairphone in 7 years when this one dies!

Great post! Thank you for all that effort

I’ve had pickled watermelon rind before 👌.
I might have to keep some rind next time I have watermelon to make preserves.

They’ve got PB&J peanut butter m&ms out now. I forget where, but I got a carton a couple weeks ago.

Had to dig for it, but it seemed relevant.

2+2 = 5

…for sufficiently large values of 2

I don’t think pointing out that it took him 79 years figure that out is giving him credit for anything

I can cont on 0 hands how many airbases Iran has access to near the US.

A relevant “dishwasher guy” video just came out this week.
