@greyor happy to offer some suggestions if you’d like! and you can definitely start small by just putting a few things in—my experience was that it was a lot easier and more rewarding than i’d worried it might be

@greyor time to replace the lawn with drought resistant plants?

@Betty are we talking disney little mermaid where she marries the prince or OG little mermaid where the prince marries another girl and then she dies?

@rigormorphis idk maybe its just that i’m not in a field that pulls high salaries but $400 is a LOT of money, i would definitely be uncomfortable receiving that much from someone i didn’t know very well, and wondering what kind of strings were attached especially since this is already a situation where as an intern vs an established employee i have a lot less institutional power than the gifter

@vaporeon_ both mammoths and mastodons are genuses, meaning they contain several distinct species. both genuses are in the same order, so they are distant relatives which accounts for some of their similarities (similar ecological niches also does a lot towards making them similar, they split off from eachother genetically at least 25 million years ago).

mammoths are closely related to the extant asian elephants (more closely so than asian elephants are with african elephants) but are distinguished from them by having large spiraling tusks and (on most species) cold adapted fur. the various mammoths ranged in size from modern elephant size to considerably larger.

mastodons are all decently closely related to each-other but not to anything else, living or extinct. the characteristic which first tipped us off that they were distinct from elephants & mammoths is that their teeth look like pairs of cones — mastodon literally means “boob teeth” (image from https://www.uky.edu/KGS/fossils/fossil-month-11-2021-mastodon-teeth.php )

@wallhackio this is why the taxonimists use fake latin so no one can tell when they’re failing at being snappy

@wallhackio is there a reason you can’t just use “usually visible”?

@pixouls may be too much when you’re also making a new recipe for the first time, but seitan is pretty straightforward to make from scratch!

@wallhackio didnt sped up versions precede nightcore by some time

@rigormorphis i’m still stuck on the implication that the holy trinity is yr top three tbh, but also if i was asked my top three fruits i wld probably just say the three i’ve had most recently 😂

@wallhackio @amy yes hence the “because theres no true agreement on which orientation is correct” bit, if he feels that inverted controls are more natural thats none of my business

@wallhackio @amy most modern controllers already allow joystick x and y axis inversion, in part because for many games there isn’t agreement on which correspondence is “correct”

@wallhackio @amy if it’s easier for u to play whilst holding the controller a certain way of course u should hold it that way the goal is to win not to look correct to random irrelevant onlookers

@wallhackio @amy kitty uses a giant rectangle instead of a traditional controller i dont see how this is any weirder

@amy @wallhackio whats the issue
