I've always used this version, since the verb is commonly used in modern English unlike buffalo:

Police police police Police police police Police police.

That expands to "the police from Police, Poland will police the police from Police, Poland, who in turn also police the police from Police, Poland" or something like that.

I have a friend who walks with a cane, and she's always complaining about how she can't open doors if she's walking around with a drink in her hand. I've been wanting to learn OpenSCAD, so I'm killing two birds with one stone and working on 3D modelling a cupholder which attaches to her cane as a surprise gift. It's been a fun challenge; you use a way different thought process when it comes to openscad than you do working with traditional cad software.

Next step is learning to hydro dip it after I finish 3D printing it.

I spent a couple bucks on one of the Mr Clean ones this time, just cause they were on the shelf at the superstore across the street from my apartment. Now that I know they work I'll definitely get the cheap ones though

 

I'm currently living in my first apartment, and I'll be moving out soon. I've got tons of scuffs on the walls from stuff like installing my furniture while moving in and bringing my bike in and out of my apartment. I tried cleaning them with soap and water, but they weren't budging at all, so I sighed and resigned myself to losing my deposit. I mentioned it off hand to my dad recently, and he told me to try using a magic eraser. I was a little skeptical, but I went out and got one anyway. I was amazed, literally one swipe of the eraser was able to get rid of the smaller marks instantly. My walls have never looked better!

I had always assumed magic erasers were just sponges with some soap already inside them, maybe with a scotchbrite pad attached. But I looked it up, and no, the "eraser" in the name isn't metaphorical. They work exactly the same as pencil erasers. They're super fine plastic sponges, and when you rub them on the wall they break down into tiny sharp plastic fibres which act as an abrasive. I found that super interesting to learn, and now I have another tool in my toolbox.

Hi, appreciate what you're doing here!

I wouldn't say no to any of these games (listed in order of preference):

  • Kerbal Space Program
  • Hollow Knight
  • Jackbox Party Pack 4

These are all pretty popular, so no worries if someone else already took all of those.

Vielen Dank für die nette Wörter und den Rat!

Danke für deine netten Wörter! Das war sehr hilfreich.

Während wir über Aussprachen sprechen, wie würde ein Deutschsprecher das Wort "Teenager" aussprechen? Würde man es aussprechen, wie es auf Englisch gesprochen wird (/tineɪd͡ʒəɹ/, in meinem Akzent)? Oder würde man die deutschen Ausspracheregeln befolgen (vielleicht /teːnagɐ/)? Ich weiß, dass ich es googeln kann, aber ich denke, es ist besser, wenn möglich, ein Deutschsprecher zu fragen.

(Bitte sag mir, falls meine Kommentar Fehler hat. Ich lerne Deutsch und habe die Kommentar ohne Übersetzer geschrieben.)

Als ich ein Teenager war, habe ich ein lustige Playstation Username zu machen versucht. Meine Freunde haben das Wort "moist" gehasst, also wollte ich es in meinem neuen Username nutzen. Ich habe gedacht, wie ich meine Freunde meinen Username noch mehr hassen machen kann, und habe das Wort "grandpa" erinnert. Ich habe "moist" und "grandpa" kombiniert, und meinen Username war geboren. Ich konnte nicht lachen stoppen, als meine Freunde haben zum ersten Mal mein Name gesehen und zurückgeschreckt sind. Seitdem nutze ich er für alle meine Konten.

Meine Freunde spielen online mit mir nicht mehr. Ich wundere warum?

X equals negative B

Plus or minus the square root

Of B squared minus 4AC

All over 2A

Sang to the tune of pop goes the weasel.

I haven’t done pre-calc in like 10 years, but this song still lives rent free in my head.

Explosions and fire?

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately the ones you linked aren’t actually the same product as mine - those are hard candies and they don’t seem to have yogurt in them. The tip about google shopping is still valid though. I’ll have a look later.

[–] amoistgrandpa@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

Nope, they were regular gummy candy but with yogurt mixed in to the molten candy mixture before it set (I think). They were kinda similar to the white stuff on the bottom of the blue whale gummy candies but not quite.

On that note, I also remember yogurt coated skittles were a thing and they were also very good, but I think those were also discontinued. Those are probably more like what you’re thinking of.
