Isn't this a Mennonite thing?

Thank you, I knew what it meant to say, but my auto-translate (in my brain) pictured a disc of fried cheese initially, and I was wondering why it felt wrong. I know just enough French to get myself into trouble.

Unfortunately, by that metaphor, the world is constipated.

Hey, can I get Gamedec? That looks like the exact type of game I'm looking for this weekend.

I avoid using single use bottles, but when I do, I often crush them after I'm finished to save space, so they don't blow away and roll around as easily, and to save space in the recycling.

Do they not take crushed bottles where you live?

 

In my feed, when I see posts like https://lemmy.world/post/30432101 that are embedded image links (maybe?), when I click on the thumbnail it doesn't work, but clicking on the title to go to the post, it does.

Thumbnail click gives this and doesn't play:

Title click gives this and plays properly:

This has been happening for a little while now (days? weeks?) but I haven't tried narrowing down specifics. I'll update if I find non-i.imgur.com posts with the same issue.

Edit to add: Android, I think Edge is the embedded browser.

I've never liked Uline. Their prices always seem to be way higher than they should be. The only reason to ever use them is for a product you can't find anywhere else - and even then it's worth taking a second or third look first.

 

You know, for uhhh.... Coming in the days after April Fool's Day.

 

League ‘hopeful’ to add 2nd expansion team ahead of next season

The Professional Women's Hockey League will expand to Vancouver and begin play next season, the league announced on Wednesday.

The decision to expand to Vancouver had been rumoured for weeks, and was finally confirmed at a press conference in downtown Vancouver on Wednesday morning. The official announcement was made by a local under-11 girls' hockey team. The girls crowded around a podium, waving signs to show how badly they wanted Vancouver to get a PWHL team, before announcing the news.

Vancouver was chosen as the seventh PWHL franchise after an eight-month process that saw expansion bids from groups in more than 20 cities.

A deeper look into Canada's long-standing high tariffs on certain US imports and why they don't actually apply to most current trade.

"If the countries took a true approach to reciprocating tariffs, then the US would simply copy Canada's tariff quota, which would mean that neither country would pay any more based on current trade balances"

 

Nothing says "classy" like flying that flag.

Good L🍁ck Trudeau! (But also, don't let the door hit you on the way out...)

A woman from Dunfermline has spoken of her shock after an Apple voice-to-text service mistakenly inserted a reference to sex - and an apparent insult - into a message left by a garage.

~The is what Mrs Littlejohn saw on the voicemail screen in the Phone app on her iPhone after receiving a voicemail from the garage.~

 

Would it be antithetical? Would it help them push the agenda? Could it be an end game?
