Had to reset my password for my air conditioner app.

"Password mush include", huh?

A form for resetting a password in an app. At the top is a field for entering a password, labeled with "Login password". A closed eye icon indicating the password will be hidden is at the end of the field. Below this, the password requirements. Text fields say:

"Password mush(sic) include:"

"8-20 characters"
"Numbers and letters only"
"No spaces"

Beside each requirement there is a check mark symbol that is currently grey. The misspelled sentence is irregularly highlighted in yellow

At the bottom of the page, there is a teal colour ovoid button with the word "submit" in white text

@Wearwolf It was just a recipe site, so I suppose it's possible that someone used text recognition to scan an old recipe card or something and didn't catch the mistake.

@cR0w I've always wondered what prompted it, whether they liked my company the way I liked theirs (I didn't feed them or anything, but I would talk to them and watch them hop around) or if it was just a sound effect they liked.

@cR0w Back in university my apartment balcony was a popular hangout for the magpies and crows who'd swoop down to the garbage bin nearby. I'd play computer games with the door open in summer to get some ventilation, and my computer was right near the balcony. One day I hear sound effects from my favourite game at the time. But I wasn't playing. One of the corvids had learned the sound and started mimicking it.

@Wearwolf It's all I can think of, but I'm not sure how you'd make that mistake. They're not exactly close to each other on the keyboard.

I just came across a recipe calling for 8/4 cups of mustard, and I hope to god that's a typo because... WHY?!?

@pharmacistjudge Not since the incident...

@Cal @Wearwolf that's because Microsoft uses the Sega layout- ABC on the bottom row, and XYZ above when they added more buttons to the controller. This is because for a while Sega and Microsoft collaborated on the Dreamcast. For this, they felt 4 buttons were sufficient, though, so they lopped off C and Z, giving us the ABXY layout we're familiar with

Modern capitalism is just a Lovecraftian elder God made real. It will destroy you and the people you care about for no reason other than that you're below its notice. It runs on sacrifices of blood, it warps reality around itself, gazing upon it drives people into madness, and entire death cults have been created to worship it. And there's very little that one person can do to kill or even injure it.

@pharmacistjudge Can't speak to any of these because Secret Lair has been so exploitative and such an ungodly bad experience that I've just stopped paying attention to them altogether... Which I think may also be a factor.

@Wearwolf It's a bit of a process. First you need to get the cards into kegs, carbonate them, and then connect them to taps...

She's such a sweet little thing. #cats #catsofmastodon

A tabby calico cat lounges comfortably on a beige couch, resting on a plush pillow shaped like a large animal paw. The paw pillow is pink with black trim, and the cat is sprawled across it with one leg stretched out and her tail curled along the edge. She looks toward the camera with a relaxed but mildly curious expression.

My fiancee brought home fiddleheads yesterday from the store. So tonight I'm thinking I'll make fiddlehead saagwala.

"But without tipping, how will I tell my server their service was bad?"

Ok, hear me out: what if you're just a bad person and a coward?

If their service was truly that awful, speak to a manager. Leave a review. Send an email.

But no... What you want is silent punishment. You want to be a little tinpot dictator, handing out economic lashes. That’s not accountability. That’s ego.

And no, your entitlement isn’t a good enough reason to deny someone a living wage.

@pomegranate_stew @Wearwolf the problem is those colours usually come with a premium cost if they're available at all. Last time I bought a car, the available colors were white, black, grey, different grey, another different grey, grey-blue, green-grey, and burgundy.

So, "thou" is the English form of an old informal mode second person pronoun. Growing up bilingual in French, the idea of a formal and informal mode in English makes a lot of sense, and I like the idea of being able to invite people that I'm close with to use "thou" rather than you. And on the one hand when people ask for pronouns I always think about this, but on the other hand I don't know how to express it without sounding like I'm clowning on the concept of personal pronouns altogether.

After that #EDSC my headcanon is that Captain Gunk and Grunkle are the villains of Jobby the Jublin. @Graham_LRR
