@gendercensus i can see Magister being somewhat confusing as one might assume it was a title for people who have received a magister degree (much as we refer to people who have received a doctorate as doctors): en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magist but “confusable for a title which does not actually exist” is still preferable to mage imo

@kate huh interesting! i hope it comes out well!

@kate i did not realize dole whip was make-able in a home kitchen

@Lady @wallhackio lmao well she is complaining you never give her recs now so maybe you should send her one of your lists

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio but also there are projects like radiofreefedi which only play what they have permission to play

@wallhackio @vaporeon_ depends if you have permission to play the musics and also if they care enough to stop you (no one is really going after a private stream someone sends to their 5 friends afaik)

@wallhackio you should start an internet radio station then

@twotone this is true! though its worth noting that cooking is vastly more affordable than even the cheapest takeout while making ones own clothing is not infrequently the more expensive option

so even if they are both choices, there’s a lot more pressure towards cooking for oneself over sewing for oneself

@twistylittlepassages any hashtag can be a thing if you do it enough

@platypus @fskornia so much of AI seems to be “what if we did things computers already can do but in a more computationally expensive and also worse way” which is just baffling to me

@kiesa its very odd that they put it in the title like that! but i guess they’re treating it like a series, metadata wise?

@kiesa DAW numbers (most of) its books so I suspect Direct Descendant is the 1979th book they’ve published in paperback. If true the number should be listed on the cover, spine, &/or copyright page (assuming you have a physical copy at least, idk how it works for ebooks)

this site reports misprinted numberings and gives some of the history: isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pubseries.cg

and librarything records the publication number for some 1800 titles, the most recent of which is Aftermarket Afterlife by Seanan McGuire which was published in 2024 as book 1957

I imagine when they started doing this they did not imagine they’d get into “looks like a date” territory

@pixouls COL is included as a factor in wage policies: «Among the data points in this dimension: What is the ratio of the state's minimum wage to the cost of living for a family of four? What is the ratio of unemployment insurance payments to the cost of living?»

@stelepami what a charming plant! do you have any supports in the wall along that narrow ledge to keep it up there or is it just managing to balance?
