It says it's wireless, but I'm not sure what it's using - I'm guessing something custom enough that the dongle is necessary.

I don't know what the big deal is. Lady Justice also has scales.

That "staff pick" comment... chef kiss

My brain saw a NSFW thumbnail and it took a few seconds to see it correctly.

The caps lock makes sense! A key logger will get confused when you type your passwords in.

I think it will be, thank you very much.

It looks like @koraro@lemmy.world isn't around any more, so I guess it's unmoderated around here (aside from the LW admins).

Can't the/a bot post here where everyone's already subbed? If you give me a bit of time, I could get one written.

I'm not understanding why that's an appropriate name, but maybe I need to learn more about butterflies.

It feels like a long time since we've had fresh Taskmaster, I'm impatient for it to start again.

The article says that Jason Mantzoukas knows the series really well - I hope that includes knowing that the contestants who prioritise winning over being entertaining all seem to later regret it! To be fair, I think chaos is entertaining so all should be well.

Tbh, I don't think you really understand how the non-rhotic accent works. In this case, the /r/ would be fully pronounced, as it would be at the start of a word. Say bread, elongate the r and skip the ed part and you have what it sounds like.

If you're very used to hearing the bunched r, the British version still might sound softer, but even in the USA (where most people use bunched r) it's still common to hear an r made with the tip of the tongue behind the teeth (upper or lower).

I'm ignoring the other r sounds, but you do find a lot of them across the various regional English accents.

This is a great example - it kinda makes sense if you skim read it but butterflies have nothing to do with butter, just like hotdogs have nothing to do with dogs.
