Whelp, gonna have that song stuck in my head for days.
In the US, $ comes before a number, and ¢ comes after. It helps differentiate them at a glance. $1.50 or 75¢ You only use one symbol at a time.
Not all that many uses for the ¢ left these days, I suppose.
Certain ants are pretty distinct. Thatch ants spray formic acid as a defense, and will have a sour smell (and taste, or so I’ve been told). Odoriferous house ants are named so for obvious reason, and smell (to me) like pen ink. Assuming they taste terrible, but I dunno anyone who’s tasted one.
Also, for what it’s worth, my entomologist father refers to the thread’s subject as “sow bugs”, so that’s how I know them, but pill bugs and rolly polly are common here.

That’s a wild time to invest in phone booths!
Real answer is dialup modem speeds. Doubled our download (in my case, from 10 minutes per mb to 5 minutes!)
Wait, so you do or do not remember the excitement of going from 14.4 to 33.6 for dialup?

Even in a really busy store, I think there’d be a ton of wasted time if someone was doing only carts.
WhipperSnapper@lemmy.mlto Greentext@sh.itjust.works•Posting the shopping cart theory because people had questions in a separate thread8·9 months agoI like the idea that there’s some shift that’s just getting carts all day.
“Sorry, Johnson, people haven’t left enough carts out lately. We’re letting you go.”

Maybe better looking for customer feedback forms in person or online.
If you shop at a local independent, they either don’t do this sort of charity thing, or do it much more directly (as in the money doesn’t even flow through their own account) with a local charity or food bank, that sort of thing.

It seems like an obvious thing to make, but I’ve only seen them mentioned for iPhone.
WhipperSnapper@lemmy.mlto Android@lemdro.id•[General question to the Android community] Have you given up on the audio jack, or do you still only buy devices that have it?English1·1 year agoThe main thing for me is simply that the audio connector doesn’t pull out nearly as easily as USB-c. Secondary is the fact that I prefer things that don’t need to be charged.
I use wireless buds at work, but whenever I’m home, I prefer to use wired headphones. It’s definitely a different strokes for different folks situation.
WhipperSnapper@lemmy.mlto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do Americans measure everything in cups?21·1 year agoChicken just isn’t gonna need to be that precise. It’s not an ingredient that mixes with others in that way. That being said, chicken is an item that most recipes would mention by weight. Nobody is going to actually weigh out the chicken; they’ll just go with a close measurement, or use potentially use the packaging it came in for reference.
Pretty sure the lens flare was just added in photoshop. As far as the “tele lens” goes, I think that’s just a semantics thing. I agree that shooting straight into the sun like that would make it impossible to get that exposure.

I used mine 3 days ago. Admittedly, it had probably been a few years since the last time that tray opened, but all was good!
