Holy shit the bangs work at the end of the search query too!? I’ve always painfully pressed Home on my keyboard to add a !g whenever I realise I had better searched this on Google

Haven’t used Boost for Lemmy (but have used Boost for Reddit), but this feature is a bit rare, I think? If this is a issue you think is worth addressing you could give Thunder or Photon (PWA) a try.

What Lemmy app are you using? Better ones automatically handle that for you and opens it inside the app.

Yes, yes it did. I didn’t understand that sentence until I saw this version with quotes.

no one’s talking about it

Because it’s sort of new. Look at how the star count boomed in early September.

your dog is 3brown1blue. does he do a youtube channel on physics?

I tried OSMAnd but it’s so fucking slow despite having already downloaded the map. Organic Maps is so much faster and smoother.

I have a disdain for Elon but I want to thank you for saying that you do like him. Makes this place less of an echo chamber.

I installed it one week ago after getting a new Pixel 8. Loving it so far.

lol so it was a joke. I would have totally fell for it if I had not heard of it before and still had a vague impression of what it was.

Is this a joke I’m too dense to get or is this just plain bullshit? What I found on Wikipedia was this:

Haggis (Scottish Gaelic: taigeis) is a savoury pudding containing sheep’s pluck (heart, liver, and lungs), minced with chopped onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and cooked while traditionally encased in the animal’s stomach though now an artificial casing is often used instead.

I don’t even think a three-legged mammal exists. However I did find this: (emphasis mine)

Wild haggis (given the humorous taxonomic designation Haggis scoticus) is a fictional creature of Scottish folklore, said to be native to the Scottish Highlands. It is comically claimed to be the source of haggis, a traditional Scottish dish that is in fact made from the innards of sheep.

But obviously that’s something different as it’s native to Scotland and is just fictional.

More likely Taiwan.

I tried to look it up, but I couldn’t find any convincing answers. I did find one answer saying it has to do with the milk’s density, but the density is about 1.03 (both dairy and soy milk) and when you run the numbers you get that 936 mL is only 0.964 kg.

There is also no pre-metric units for volume, so that isn’t it either. Also, some other milk brands sell their milk in 930 mL, 1857 mL, 1858 mL or some other really arbitrary number.

My guess is that it’s close enough to a full liter so that the customers buy this thinking they got a liter of milk.

They don’t sell milk or soy milk in gallons. The soy milk I got was 936 mL. 936 mL is 0.2472 gallons, which just so happens to be close to a quarter gallon. A quarter gallon is closer to 946 mL.

When I wrote the previous comment, I actually thought that 936 mL was exactly 1/4 gallons, and it kind of surprised me. The tool I used to convert units rounded the result to 2 decimal places.

Where I live, soy milk is less than half the price of cow boob milk. Perks of living in East Asia, I guess.

I bought a 936 mL (1/4 gallons) carton of soy milk today, and it was only about US$1.1 (NT$35). Very affordable.

I just sent them a simple email with the subject being “arbitration opt-out” and a body of “I opt out of mandatory arbitration.”
