Interesting. My stock pixel keyboard has ℅ as an alternate long press to %. In SwiftKey, the alternate is ‰ while c/o seems to be nowhere to be found. I didn’t know I had either available as long press q from the main keyboard group is just % and nothing else (some keys have multiple alternates, like long press x shows $ but also has ¢£₹¥€, for example)

And the pope

50% actual sugar, 50% simple carbs. Maybe 4oz of milk, more likely 8oz of sugar water juice. Pastries, toast, waffles, pancakes, donuts, neon cereal, processed oats, and orange juice.

Phone is ewwww, thumbs go brrrrt

While I do call, it’s frustrating that the call adds a significant opportunity for order error. I don’t use DoorDash, but many places don’t have a competent online system, or one at all.

It’s huge “I can’t fix this problem myself” mentality. Dominoes isn’t sending anyone to that neighborhood. Could you imagine the furthered dystopic trend if Dominoes (and others) COULD choose which neighborhoods to not serve AT ALL? If multi-brand corporations could so directly manipulate product availability like that?

There’s enough problems in poorer areas becoming “food deserts” by lacking proper groceries and only having garbage fast food available in walking/bussing distance. Let’s not give the French fry overlords any more power to tailor the markets through delivery denial.

Exchange rate doesn’t tell you how expensive things really are. Take Hawaii for example. It’s a United State and uses the USD. Yet, everything there is more expensive because of shipping

I’m looking for an #apple #iPhone that comes in #orange #project16april2026 #all #frontpage #fyp #hot #ok #sale #android

Rotating Savings and Credit Association (ROSCA). It goes by many other local names across the world, but that’s the English wiki page title to get you going

The music part is so obviously this. OP, check an older season’s musical guest list. Gonna take a guess you know every act from a season in 2006-2011. The acts are always relevant to pop culture in some way (2026 references incoming), either being a current trending artist (Anita), an older one that’s touring or releasing an album (Gorilla), and/or someone continually famous (Cher, Paul McCartney) . It’s not SNL’s fault you don’t know them. If you were this age in 2006 (so, your parents maybe?) would you (your parents) know Nelly Furtado, Shakira, Akon, AFI, Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance, Snow Patrol, or Death Cab for Cutie? Those aired 05-07.

French isn’t naturally occurring

So what you’re saying is the creator of a word can define its pronunciation that supercedes the current language’s rules?

Get down from your giant giraffe and ride a high horse like everyone else. Or do you say “high” with a “g” like “gift”?

Get EV. Make it do the skateboard design idea where the chassis/drive train is a skateboard under the cabin/cargo body. Delete the bolts that join the halves, replace with bungee cords. Done.

I had a toy car at some point that had plunger bumpers that reversed motor direction on impact.

The guy who created gif says jif, so that one, for starters. I’m sure you say CD-ROM in a way that rhymes with rom-com (side note, rom is wrongly a short O here too) with a short O, yet ROM stands for Read Only Memory. Or do you say See Dee Rome? Maybe with a Spanish background, but not English. Similar with PIN, I for identification but no one says pine. GIMP photo software stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program. Whether you say Gee Enn Yoo or GNU, GIMP isn’t said a way that matches. The G in GLaDOS is for genetic. PAL (TV) is for Phase Alternating Line. PHAT, pretty hot and attractive. 50% of any time a Q is involved.

I’ve been looking at Neven, but have no idea if they’re as big as they seem or if they’re any more durable than Knockaround.

I like Knockaround’s styles, specifically the Fast Lanes for being somewhere between a classic Rayban and a square aviator, but I keep ending up with scratched lenses. They do have a one-time warranty, but I’m not sure the extent of replacement due to wording. Only tried it once directly through customer service before I realized there’s an actual policy. I took much better care and even ordered more (different colors), but they still wear out. Daily wear, rotate through ~6 pairs. Get about 2 years out of them. I guess that’s fine, but my old sunglasses weren’t so consumable. Maybe I just not familiar with the longevity of mirrored coatings. They’re ~$35usd each and sales are frequent. The custom shop is neat.

The guest with the birthday was Dakota Fanning. I only really know because of the meme, of sorts, that connects 9/11 to the downfall of DeGeneres. 9/11, my chemical romance, twilight, 50 shades, Fanning’s rise, Degenres’ downfall

I appreciate your outlook and empathy. I think I’m smart. I know I ignore certain things and probably look stupid. But you are absolutely right that you can’t know what exact information they’re working with as the basis for decisions/statements/opinions. Being able to identify some base misconception can bring about resolution so fast. I still have sudden realizations that uproot some belief I had based on some bullshit my dad said decades ago. If you never had reason to question it, it doesn’t enter the critical reasoning part of your head.

Only example off the top of my head is he once said tetanus was, effectively, caused by dogs urinating on rusty metal. I was probably under 10, who am I to question? Well, tetanus is such a rare topic that I never thought about. Working under rusty cars from my teens onward? Not a problem, dogs aren’t peeing up into my car. Well, a friend mentioned he’d was updating his tetanus shot around 30 since he also works on rusty cars. “Wait, any rusty metal?” it was a dolly-zoom moment. Turns out, any source material that’s contaminated while puncturing skin can do it. It just happens to often be lost nails or broken glass. But I carried that belief for like 25 years.

They don’t skip from the 3rd to the 5th, do they? I didn’t say US independence Day. The 4th happens to be a Saturday this year

How so?

I took 3 weeks of karate and the best thing it did for me was teach me how to high kick. Not with a full leg swing, but a 2-stage kick of knee up first as the foot swings out. Pretty good for kicking up gate latches, pretty good for balance and (slower) precision on less-durable door handles.
