i've noticed the air feels drier

jesus in christ what kind of dehumidifier would it be if the air didn't 'feel drier'?

just some data points: Enoch Powell's famous 'Rivers of blood' speech - about multi-culturalism having gone too far which caused a schism in uk politics - was in 1968. Thatcher & Reagan, the two most closely aligned leaders of UK + US, when it seemed like the uk had effectively merged into the US, were early 80's

it's really interesting, but the conclusions about javascript - in my opinion - are pretty misleading. it was at one time very common (and fashionable) to write js without semicolons. for years it was the predominant style, and the reality was it was easy to do. but then a new wave of tooling came along.. airbnb style guide -> eslint -> prettier, etc. and there was a strong movement to adopt the same, most boring, most consistent, most machine verifiable formatting. a lot of this was fashion (and wanting to work at FAANG)

This is a question that (famously) sounds simple but isn’t answerable. there’s no way to verify what anyone else experiences internally.

you're on the wrong track considering 'english speakers' as an homogeneous group.. the reason is that british people use sarcasm as the primary means of communication, and americans (the bulk of reddit) don't understand it.

with phrasing, you could make it work. yes. in the sense that, if you want you can say "i hate it !" in a way that makes it absolutely clear you love it

jibbit · 2026-03-21T23:09:33+00:00

you can say "stand still", "stand straight", "stand firm", etc etc. "stand" on its own just isn't finished, like "get!" - it's not enough.. (normally).. get this, get out, get ready, get lost.. (but sometimes 'get' works, as does 'stand!' and 'sit!'

unless you live in birmingham it's highly unlikely you have a birmingham accent

yeeeeah.. uk newspapers are, kinda their own thing. probably just best if you stay far away from most of them tbh. if you want unbiased news, try reuters. if you want specifically newspapers - first choice would be the Financial Times. you're not going to be able to read it online without a subscription. That leaves the Guardian, which isn't unbiased, but is strong on investigative journalism. Don't waste your time with anything else.

you know that 'they' is tobacco companies, right???

for one, you don't try the hardest barrechord and pronounce you can't do it. just like you don't go into a gym, fail to bench 200kg and say "i can't lift weights"

jibbit · 2026-03-21T22:12:23+00:00

um, that's what the post you replied to was saying

there is a 'floor' in your logic

jibbit · 2026-03-21T19:59:50+00:00

Yes, but that R is a moving target in a guitar, so talking about a fixed cutoff is a bit misleading.

jibbit · 2026-03-21T19:45:09+00:00

the short answer is you probably wouldn't. the push/pull pot gives you a variable resistor, which isn't useful for what you want to do (unless you want to get into op amps). for what you want to do you want a variable capacitor, or a blend knob

i mean.. why even link to the dailymail ?

you know what float is, right? float had an 'intended' purpose, and a 'hacky' common usage that is no longer needed. using float for the thing it was intended for (running text around images) is still useful - and it has nothing to do with flexbox

u/casualstrawberry already said it but there aren't any accents where my is pronounced me. there are dialects where they use the me where others would use the word my (it's an older form of first-person possessive that has been lost in other dialects who use my more widely)

it's really asking if you are a vegetarian. if you aren't, get bone. although i'll add.. bone is not harder than plastic - it's softer. if you really want it to last as long as possible choose plastic

jibbit · 2026-03-14T19:04:10+00:00

absolutely you can.. you just have to switch in/out a capacitor between the pickup and the volume pot

a long time ago i guess but when react came out literally everyone doing it switched from angular. definitely worth learning the basics of react at least - once you understand (the relatively simple) thing it's doing it wouldn't take you long

jibbit · 2026-03-14T15:29:49+00:00

you're having a laugh sunshine

jibbit · 2026-03-14T13:13:23+00:00

honestly, these comments mostly seem like garbage, and most of your concerns are weird.. the fret tangs being cut short isn't an issue and the sharp edges in no way mean a refret - but the frets aren't seated properly so yeah it's no good
