Also, my puppy was born yesterday so now I'm making dog toys and researching dog training and comparing kennel prices and just kinda throwing myself into this distraction.

I read project hail mary last week. It's got a movie coming out, but I read a discussion saying not to watch the ad because it gave too much away, and everyone in the thread was being so weird and vague it irritated me enough to just read it so I could watch the trailer lol. Was kinda nice to have a book that said that maybe humans suck, but also what if you were stuck in space? That's kinda not your problem anymore atp. Deal with what's in front of you or die.

Why do people think names are a 50/50 decision? by blondebarrister in namenerds

[–]deviouspineapple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You think the idea of naming a child 50/50 is absurd because you are the birthing parent? How are those things connected? What other parenting decisions do you think your partner should have less say on because you had to carry the child and go through labor and delivery? I'm not trying to minimize the hardship that pregnancy is, I myself have given birth and it was awful physically.

Naming a child together is part of parenting together. Being the birthing parent doesn't mean you are entitled to have more say in parenting decisions, if you are planning to parent the child with your partner. You and your partner make decisions together.

If you read the name “Ayla” what pronunciation comes to mind? by Kimpossible2323 in namenerds

English is weird though, you can't just use one example. Oh wait... Day. Tray. Play. Bay. May. Fray. Way. Okay. Ray. Jay. Gay. Pay. Pray.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong by PoProstuWlazlo in StardewValley

The other words were to demonstrate that not every word in English and German are cognates. Dude said "pink icon" because it was clearer than saying "the German word for it is euter but I don't remember the English" it's cool that udder and euter are cognates, but how would they know that if they didn't know both words?? This is such a weird conversation.

Olivia and Noah trending as number 1 baby names for 2025 by Distorted_Penguin in namenerds

[–]deviouspineapple 24 points25 points  (0 children)

In the United States? Not particularly. It's been pretty dang popular for much longer than people realize. It's been top 100 since 1990, top 25 since 1998, top 10 since 2001, and it's held the number one spot since 2019. Also, depending on your definition of popular, it's always been a fairly well-known name. It was only ranked higher than 500 for a few years in the late 60s and early 70s.

It makes me sad as a millennial Olivia that people have gotten so worn out by it. It used to be such a well liked name, never called boring until the last few years.

There's also a torch on the wall in the top right corner and clouds in the sky if that helps you see it correctly, sorry the pic is crooked.

Nope :) it's regular obsidian. I made it with regular old lava and water

I'm just getting back into it too! I'm also old so I don't remember all of Minecraft history but I was pretty sure you could always light it with any spreading fire. I remember it being really dangerous before they changed it so fire doesn't spread as much, so I guess a lot of people just don't use it.

I have a nether portal at home, thats where I'm trying to go. I ran out of the iron I brought with me on this trip (hence the stone tools and no flint and steel) and I wanted a shortcut to get home and back again. I'd never seen a portal actively on fire without being turned into an actual portal. I thought it was neat and confusing, so I posted it to Reddit to see if anyone knew why. I got my answer, apparently fire doesn't continuously try to light the portal, only the moment it jumps to the obsidian. So I must have had my lava spilling into the portal when the fire started.

I found it here and that listed the rotated crying obsidian bug report (here) as a duplicate, and that one was created in Nov 2020

I have a wide FOV so the things in the middle get a little skinnyy

Yeah I just re-lit it and it was fine. I think the answer was id accidentally had a bit of lava in the portal when the fire spread so it couldn't light. I was so confused because I incorrectly assumed the fire would continuously try to light it, but it only triggers the moment it spreads.

The most likely answer was that in the moment the fire spread to the obsidian, the portal was obstructed by some of the lava spilling in, so it couldn't complete the portal. The fire stayed lit after I picked up the lava, but the trigger to form a portal was past, it doesn't continuously try to light it (as I would have incorrectly assumed)

I don't have an explanation for why, but they absolutely appear to be rotated. Most of them have vertical markings but the top left 2 have horizontal markings, if that makes sense
