What is this with the #French calling the #Belgians "belge" without even capitalizing it? Is that a slight? @kris any idea here?
Or is #Duolingo off its rocker again?

@golemwire I'm glad we live in a day that memory and storage are cheap enough it's worth doing that. I remember purely numeric error messages from old MacOS and the like.

EDIT: My #KDEPlasma #screenlocker is broken on #Fedora42 following a recent update. The problem appears to be local to the Fedora theme. Breeze, Breeze Dark, and Breeze Twilight all work.

Got any tips for staying cool in a hot humid climate without air conditioning better than a fan and a hat?

@Big_Diggity Excellent. What are you not-grilling there?

@dan @RevEricBurrowsStone Hell in the Bible is the place of the dead. The grave, sometimes called Hades. It doesn't mean the Dante idea of endless punishment.

@ossobuffo @dan @RevEricBurrowsStone In this context, "hell" isn't a moral or spiritual judgment. The righteous are in the grave just as everyone else is, and Jesus visits with them because he goes to the place of the dead just as we do.

This shouldn't be necessary.

This is terrible stuff. Have your projects been affected?

One of these is the Wikipedia main menu.
The other is the Atlassian main menu.
The Wikipedia main menu button is called a "Hamburger Button".
What shall we call Atlassian's? The "Sloppy Hamburger Button"?

@fuat2mb Hah! 😁

What would you call a Christmas Eve service that alternates between reading selections from the Christmas story and communal singing of hymns? (One song per reading.) What name would you give that format?

#christmas #christmasEve #worship #liturgy

@spaceraser @fuat2mb And then there are the places with paper towels but zero labor spent on maintenance. So you can have both.

Are hand blow dryers really more efficient?
I'm sure it's not really comparable, but I always ask how many paper towels one would have to burn to produce this much heat and air movement.

@youronlyone The first time I heard "sus" was in connection with the game Among Us. "I suspect" a certain character. I also hear it used to express dismissal due to suspicion.

WFH bonus: you can set the thermostat to any value you want.

Your colleagues will never complain.
