“Well, see you Monday!”

I find Simpsons Hit and Run isn’t getting any younger

Everyone that guy knows that got the vaccine has died, if that’s not suggestive of a big pharma conspiracy I don’t know what is /s

If you weren’t already watching James Hoffman, then Hames Joffman may not be the place to start… the latter is an unauthorised parody account, although apparently James is aware and not bothered

Of course if you’re watching James, you must also be watching Hames

I love that the best example they can find is a couple who spend only 140 days a year in France, despite the rules allowing 160 days a year. They obviously only go there for particular seasons: They’re not residents, they’re tourists

They’re also not actually prevented from continuing to do it, and despite how important this is said to be to them, it was just “too much hassle”

Do you have a Monty Hall problem, or does Monty Hall have a you problem?

Only if Monty Hall didn’t know where the prize is

Say there are 100 doors, you choose one, then 98 are knocked out randomly (likely including the prize) - Now each of the 2 doors has the same chance of winning, so there is no reason to change

But starting with 100 doors and a knowledgeable Monty Hall, once you’ve chosen a door, the only reason Monty Hall leaves your door alone is because you chose it, whether it is the 1/100 winner, or one of the 99/100 losers

Either you chose the right door the first time (1/100 chance) or the other door has the prize behind it - those are the only options - the other door literally represents the 99/100 other doors in a single choice

I couldn’t even describe a single scene, I watched the whole thing but I was young and only retained the fear

There is no way you’ll ever catch me saying Candyman more than once

It would slow down a little

Yes for dry products where there is little risk of contamination e.g. nuts and dried fruits, or whole fruit and vegetables

I’d reuse as long as the bag was in good condition and clean, maybe up to 5 times

Fair enough, I don’t get Lemmy links outside of browsing Lemmy, but I appreciate that there is friction

Sorry that so much of the advice (including mine) is ‘Yeah you have to adapt a bit’

And the 50 shades of grey colour palette that makes every element look identical - Can I click this? Let’s find out!

1(a) These are not the best tools to find communities. I believe sub.rehab is curated rather than being a full Lemmy community search tool (i.e. good for finding the few official migrations)

To find communities, I would use lemmyverse.net

For example, you can use this search to find Android communities

If you set your instance using the home icon, any links will open on your instance so you can subscribe to them correctly

It shows similar subscribers counts etc to your first two searches, because it is an independent tool, while searching from your instance (lemmy.world) will only show what that instance can see i.e. communities and subscribers from federated instances

1(b) Each of these are different communities, with different content, moderation, and members. Sometimes there will be duplicate content and cross-posting. If you think they are so similar that the duplication is annoying, just pick one, otherwise subscribe to both

I understand that the way cross-posting is presented is being worked on for future Lemmy releases, but honestly duplication is not that bad at the moment except during large news events

2 Where are you getting links to Lemmy content that you are trying to open? Once you have subscribed to communities of interest, you may come across links to other communities in that content. There are bots that often ‘correct’ instance naming in Lemmy content to use the ! notation, so as long as you don’t block them you’ll get clickable links

Otherwise, yes it is currently the case that /c formatted links will need to be changed to your instance or ! formatted - I’m not aware of an extension to do so, but I presume some of the apps and front-ends will do this for you

What’s in the box???
