I don't know how Steam tracks their numbers, but if they split domestic and international sales it's possible that the US isn't part of "worldwide" in this context.

But even if it is, something can be the #1 seller in one but not the other, so "both" is noteworthy.

I've only ever heard that term used in Cajun cooking, where it refers to onion, celery, and bell pepper.

The version with carrot is mirepoix.

It's also featured on a two-part episode of LeVar Burton Reads.

Looking at you Windows 11

Yeah, I got a new laptop recently with no intention of using the pre-installed OS, but I wanted to boot it up once just to make sure all the hardware was working.

It may have actually taken longer to figure out how to create a local account on W11 than to wipe it and install Linux.

IIRC hieroglyphs are in a weird space between pictographs and an alphabet. So you can use a symbol that looks, for instance, like a reed by itself to mean 'reed', or in combination to phonetically spell a word that doesn't have its own glyph.

So what I'm saying is this needs more rebus.

Looks like wood sorrel (oxalis) to me.

That said, I'm here from All, have no expertise in identifying plants, and am doubly unfamiliar with Australian flora, so take the above with a biiig grain of salt.

Reminds me of an old joke:

I went to a zoo the other day that only had one exhibit…a dog. It was a shih tzu.

And also, if you should happen to drop it, always remember that a falling knife has no handle.

Better to destroy your straight razor than your hand.

Um, I didn't see where it said to replace pronouns with anything, only to remove them. So the correct verbiage would clearly be:

That's Kida from Atlantis: The Lost Empire.

Am I the only one who thought this was quoting A Christmas Carol?

(The line there being from Jacob Marley's ghost: "I wear the chains I forged in life." Which I still think this is might be paraphrasing, if somewhat muddled.)

Revealed spoiler text appears at first to be blank. Highlighting reveals that it's there, just the same color as the background.

Edit: this is in 120

 

Pretty much as it says in the title. My specific use case is that I'd like to be able to browse a feed in list mode, but have individual posts open as card or fullwidth.

When replying to a long comment, the text entry box and buttons get pushed off the bottom of the screen, and it doesn't seem to be possible to scroll down here. In the attached screenshot, only the top of the box is visible, and it disappears entirely when the keyboard is up.

On a vaguely related note, I would also like the text of the parent comment to be selectable on this screen for ease of quoting, rather than having to back out to the thread and copy the whole text.

Cake is Bravetart's vanilla butter cake, scaled down for two pans rather than three and with the zest of two lemons added to the batter.

Frosting is Bravetart's Swiss meringue buttercream with 1tsp lemon extract and juice of 1 lemon added.

Garnished with candied lemon peel, scaled down to 1 lemon.
