I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

It’s one of a few acronym based nicknames that are in common use. TJ is another. I’m not sure why that’s the case, maybe it was common to give kids a B/T based first name and a J based last name? The acronym is fun to say, unlike other acronyms for names. Acronyms are also easy to build branding around
Technically even Ben & Jerry’s ice cream can be shortened to BJ’s (or B&J’s)
To be fair, wikipedia does this too and I find it helpful. The problem is the color scheme
My friend managed to find a compatible eraser at some stationery store while travelling, but he couldn’t tell me exactly which one he went to. This was before we could just order everything online, The best part was that you could use up the eraser a little bit to get a snug fit, you can’t do that with the yolks.
I don’t know why more stores didn’t carry those erasers
Some context would have been helpful from OP. This is relevant to organizations operating on the fediverse

For example, here is a related organization based in the US that people may be familiar with
Why is this marked nsfw 😄
This deserves another post
If someone wants a guide
Yea pretty much, it’s the same as old video games that had the sprite loop through an animation when you were standing still, instead of having the character freeze in place
If everything was still, I might as well be flipping through a PowerPoint
but I got a bad feeling that I might’ve looked like an enemy or something to them
I haven’t heard this phrasing before, what does it mean?
Looked at the article, and it starts off pretty stupid
While everyone else seems to be slugging H20 from 40-ounce Stanley tumblers, I have never understood the appeal of drinking plain, tasteless water all day.
Some people live in areas where the water tastes bad, but seeing the water as “boring” might mean that you’re drinking too much of the other stuff (soft drinks, juice, sugary etc). It’s not that those other things are not hydrating, but they’re unhealthy for other reasons.
The question feels more pressing than ever given rising temperatures, heat waves
I refuse to normalize a world where people lack access to clean drinking water. 😠
The rest of the article is pretty standard advice. There’s no set amount of water that everyone needs to drink, and your diet/lifestyle/body composition/the weather will all play a role. Going based on thirst is a good indicator, but make sure you actually drink water when you’re thirsty. !hydrohomies@lemmy.ml
But using that to justify unequal access to clean drinking water is a big no.
NATO gold is reserved for the united states only, with trump as chief senior executive top general. No one else can attend those meetings
Everyone else gets put in NATO brass, and they need to meet regularly to show that they are on board with this new system.
It’s too big
Fair enough, some people prefer smaller phones
Too many stars
It’s overhyped? I didn’t know that, but good to know
Not enough aliens

Everything’s too far away

Oh
Are people here worshipping Dolly Parton? Seems like people are pointing out the good things that she has done, because that acknowledgement encourages others to do good too.
It’s fine to point out the bad things she’s done too, but I feel like you’re concerned about an issue that doesn’t really exist here
The thing is
So when you make a comment saying that “they deserved it” about someone whose crime is being born into the spotlight, despite any good they may have done with that position, people are going to think you’re an uninformed jerk.
Good to hear :)
I second the advice to join more communities. I’ve been subscribing to more and more things over the years and my feed always has new content
I recommend these guide pages. The first two are for how this place differs from Reddit, and the third one is for how to easily find more communities to join
Generally I’d agree, but I’m suspicious about this one because the original announcement doesn’t have that kind of wording.
It’s FOSS seems to have added marketing speak when reporting on the announcement, and the phrase “It’s not X, it’s Y” is a very common affectation with the current models
Which is great, but it’s not always convenient.
For example, this article
Is this a certain type of rabbit or is it normal to shave them while leaving a moustache?
