alt-textIt blows our hivemind that the United States doesn’t use the ISO 216 paper size standard (A4, A5 and the gang). Like, we consider ourselves worldly people and are aware of America’s little idiosyncrasies like mass incarceration, the widespread availability of assault weapons and not being able to transfer money via...

criticon,

I think Mexico too, or at least the paper name is “carta” and “oficio” which would translate to letter and legal (kinda)

criticon,

It is very strong right now. Hopefully it didn’t arrive early and it picks up even more in 10-12 hours https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/eb0920e5-ba60-4a43-8dfd-2167d48b5a77.jpeg

criticon,

This is me in Michigan right now. I’m debating whether to drive South to Ohio instead

criticon,

They do require Bluetooth hand free, so I guess it goes implied with the audio system

criticon,

Lol it’s not, it’s just what you are used to

criticon,

0-100F is not base 10 at all, it’s just what you grew up with. I grew with Celsius and I can easily feel the difference in a few degrees. TV weather people saying that the temp will be in the 80s is less useful to me than if they tell me if it will be 27°C for example

Why would you do ±1°C if the sous vide can do decimals?

Also, the recipe calls for 130°F because it was made by an American, if you look for European recipes it will probably say 54°C. Neither will add decimals to their recipes because that’s just being anal

I use F in the kitchen a lot because most of my appliances work in that and also because I basically learn to cook until I moved to the US, so again, what you are used to

criticon,

Our first laser was also an HP and it worked great for many years until windows 7 stopped supporting it, I tried a lot of drivers but I couldn’t find any that made it print correctly. I eventually found that it still worked with Linux so I connected it to an old computer and ran a server thru it and it worked for many more years until some part broke and the replacement part was more expensive thana be one, or so we though because we had to change printers another 3 times since because they break a lot quicker now

What kind of Japanese teacher cannot explain the -ne?

John Leguizamo on Trump’s Latino support: ‘He doesn’t like us, and he doesn’t want us here’ (thehill.com)

Actor John Leguizamo obliterated a small horse piñata while reciting a thorough catalogue of Spanish-language profanities on “The Daily Show” Tuesday in response to a New York Times/Siena poll that reported former President Trump leads President Biden among Latino voters....

My wife has family in California who entered illegally but gained citizenship thanks to Clinton and they basically have the same argument as your in-laws

criticon,

Hacking the Vita is equally easy

I was about to pay for NSO extra or whatever is calledt o play Game Boy games then I realized I could do that with the Vita I had collecting dust

Super easy to install emulators and super easy to install “back ups”

You can even use an adapter to use high capacity microSD cards and avoid the ridiculous prices of the propietary cards

criticon,

That’s why they do “Bible studies”, so they only read the good parts while also interpreting them to their convenience

Cuban says he’d vote for Biden even if ‘he was being given last rites’ (thehill.com)

The billionaire also told the outlet that he plans to vote for former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley in the Texas GOP primary Tuesday as “a protest vote against Trump,” but that he would still support the current president versus the former one.

criticon,

Same, I though maybe a Cuban community leader from Florida or something, I was confused about the quote about Texas

criticon,

I had a modded PS2 and this game (back up) came in two discs. For some reason the chip got damaged at some point and I wasn’t able to swap discs so I could only play half the tracks but it still was my favorite game on that console

criticon,

That reminds me that a friend had the DVD of Trainspotting next to his TV but I read it as Transtopping and I was very curious about the premise of the movie

criticon,

This recipe uses heavy cream instead of whole milk (I think, I was trying to read behind the “please log in” pop up)

criticon,

And also, they started using steamboat willie in the intro of their films, so even if it’s not copyright’d it will still be TradeMark and will not be able to use it to create merchandise

criticon,

I hate that

On the occasion I don’t give a 5 or 10 or whatever is the max I explain in the comments that n is perfection and very difficult to achieve but n-1 is still very good, but I also never give less than max to the employee, I apply your same logic (disregard the survey)

criticon,

I have Argentina, I used a VPN to create the account (windscribe) and used a virtual card from Capital One to pay using a random address I found in Buenos Aires using Google maps. It’s been going for almost a year without issues

criticon,

We had a priest teacher (Catholic school) and he kept saying that being gay was an aberration

We couldn’t hold it and we told him that there’s lots of gay animals, but the only aberration was being celibate. He got so angry that he tried to expell all of us, but he ended up being replaced

criticon,

I like it more than the lager of lakes, but I’m not a fan of lagers. It tastes kinda like a blue moon

criticon,

It would matter more if PES/WE were still popular. Those games were superior to FIFA for many iterations but the lack of official clubs and players was a big barrier of every for most
