Looks like it is. I had noticed a few Mastodon and Misskey instances blocking poa.st, but I didn’t realise it was the same as poast.org.

Good thing there are other instances now!

My HP’s hinge broke, too. I had to pack the entire back of the case with putty in order to fix it, and it’s still not quite right.

I know. I’ve worked with it myself, and I once accidentally inhaled a small volume of it.

A-Level chemistry, innit.

HCl‽ Jaysus…

The letter arrived yesterday.

I like the Gormanian and Holocene calendars; but I use the Gregorian for compatibility with the rest of humanity.

Also, as I live in Britain, I use an unholy mixture of metric, imperial, and archaic measurements.

Length of an object? Centimetres. Height of a human? Feet and inches. Mass of flour? Grams. Mass of a human? Stones, pounds, and ounces. Distance by car? Miles. Distance on foot? Kilometres. Volume of a soft drink? Litres or millilitres. Volume of beer or milk? Pints. Volume of non-dairy milk? Also litres and millilitres.

Honestly no

Europe/London, BST, UTC+01:00

Do you use a different calendar system, by any chance?

Yes, but one would assume I meant the 19th of the current month of the current year.

Also “They said the 19th June 2024” doesn’t work so great as a title.

It was two days ago.

19th June

Last I heard, the CCP did a bit of social engineering and got a load of TikTokkers to post videos in juggalo makeup in order to retrain their facial recognition software.

I don’t recall if it was successful, but it happened.

That’s far too good for AI. It has to be PhotoShopped.

And yet my dad still has trouble finding anything that won’t kill him if he eats it.

You were, but it appears OP is running Windows in a VM on Linux.

Drones also maintain the temperature of the nest/hive.

Additionally, carpenter bee drones defend the hive (although they don’t actually have any defences, and therefore do this by repeatedly bumping into the adversary); and Asian honey bee drones help to kill murder hornets, by enveloping them (alongside other bees) and essentially cooking them to death.

To be honest, the gender binary makes even less sense for bees (as well as wasps, ants, hornets, termites, and other hive insects) than it does for humans.

Hive insects have three sexes: queens (analogous to females), drones (analogous to males), and workers (which could be analogous to intersex people, but it doesn’t really translate into human biology).

This is literally the only reason I’m considering a PhD: I can put “Dr.” on official documents and it’ll be accepted.

At its simplest definition, this creates a ternary.
