The word Himalayan is pronounced like Him-a-lay-an, NOT Him-all-ee-an.....

I live in a pretty mountainous area, but I can think of a couple blind corners on small hills near me. So probably the one on the way to the bakery while running or biking.

But I do a lot of ski touring so I'd rather die on one of the big ones.

The Office means the British version. The American office refers to the American version.

Anyone who puts always-on blue LEDs in electronics deserve the oubliette. People who put such LEDs in electronics meant for the bedroom deserve an oubliette that'a slowly filling with water.

Or just excessively bright LEDs. Just because LEDs are super efficient, doesn't mean they should take them as bright as they can go.

Allow me to try and persuade you. The problem is bright blue LEDs. It's still stupid that they make them so bright, but the problem isn't the color. A hypothetical bright red, green, or amber LED would also be a problem.

This is fair. I have had to put tape over a red alarm clock because it was too bright before. Those manufacturers also get the oubliette

Shorter wavelengths hit different though. That's why we have blue light filtering glasses, Redshift, etc.

Chocolate soda needs to make a comeback.

[-] DeathsEmbrace@lemm.ee 3 points 6 hours ago

What does that taste like anyways?

[-] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 hours ago

Delicious. Canfield chocolate fudge soda was bliss.

I reject, protest and censure your endorsement of the Oxford Comma.

To this day I use it and refuse any other option.

[-] Wilco@lemm.ee 2 points 7 hours ago

Are you for or against it? I mean, it does have it's uses.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 4 hours ago

For it. Its lack of use in a union contract was a factor in a court ruling some years back. That's when it went from pedantry to real-world consequence for me. Something was ruled similar to A and B rather than A or B.
