Breathing and drinking are different tubes.

If one is alphabetising things, which cones first “A” or “AA”?

To be fair, it would be easier if English had kept the English terms for anatomy.

Feel free to have a look-see at what that could look like. Taxonomy isn’t “taxonomy” anymore, it’s “setlore.” Find that easier to understand?

It’s an “Anglish” wiki, based on Poul Andersson’s “Uncleftish Beholding”, a text that’s trying to see what English would look like if it didn’t have latin borrowings as much, just the teutonic words.

Here’s some atomic theory ie “uncleftish beholding”.

The firststuffs have their being as motes called unclefts. These are mighty small: one seedweight of waterstuff holds a tale of them like unto two followed by twenty-two naughts. Most unclefts link together to make what are called bulkbits. Thus, the waterstuff bulkbit bestands of two waterstuff unclefts, the sourstuff bulkbit of two sourstuff unclefts, and so on. (Some kinds, such as sunstuff, keep alone; others, such as iron, cling together in chills when in the fast standing; and there are yet more yokeways.) When unlike unclefts link in a bulkbit, they make bindings. Thus, water is a binding of two waterstuff unclefts with one sourstuff uncleft, while a bulkbit of one of the forestuffs making up flesh may have a thousand or more unclefts of these two firststuffs together with coalstuff and chokestuff.

Well both would obviously suffer from the fact that any reasonable person could expect someone to accidentally drink milk from the fridge. That being the reason to adulterate the milk to begin with.

Depends on how the law if formulated.

For instance technically having psychedelics wouldn’t be illegal in Finland. VERY technically. Insofar that all drug crimes are defined as something being used, or being meant to be used, as an intoxicant.

So like legally there’d theoretically be wiggle-room, since one might just have milk with psychedelics in it, without ever having any intention of consuming it, or offering any to anyone else. But it’s not your problem if someone goes and eats stuff not intended for consumption.

Obviously it would never fly, but like… technically.

Look here, we took this water, put it through the cows, now it’s better!

It’s a decent hypothesis, but you’ll never gather enough data to convince the naysayers.

“The results just aren’t in yet, look at all the people alive”

Compared to other systems, seems like it’s pretty high.

Universal basic income would discourage crimes like that.

If I had to get a car in SF, I think I’d go for a small hatchback so you can see into the trunk, if it’s that bad.

The lockers usually have surveillance around them.

So you’d go there, open up an empty box and it would be incredibly easy to show who stole it. Plus even if there wasn’t surveillance, you could film yourself opening the slot, which would then show an empty slot.

So yeah, it does make a difference. The package is never left unattended, it’s never “up for grabs” by anyone.

That being said thieving and whatnot is comparatively rare in Finland anyway. We’re #1 in the wallet drop test. https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/least-honest-cities

super rare occasion

The problem is so ubiquitous , they’re commonly known as “porch pirates”.

“~Two million packages go missing every day, 90 000 in New York alone”

And the video is five years old.

other American was right, they’re really not as common a

He most certainly wasn’t.

He was practically denying that it ever happened, when it’s common as pickpocketing. Meaning more common in some places, less so in others, but definitely a known and existing issue.

Oh yeah, they’re exceedingly common here.

Usually placed inside commercial buildings like stores etc, there are a few just outside as well. They’re quite thin metal so I assume in some places in the US someone would just take a crowbar to a whole station, but if it’s inside a building that’s gonna be much harder.

Here you’ll need to have an ID or at least a driving licence (which isn’t technically an official ID, but is accepted as such in most places outside banks and whatnot) to go and pick up your shit.

Well, not anymore, as lots of them go to the automats and then you just require the PIN.

And depending on what sort of package you’re getting in the mail, you can sometimes give your package id to a friend who can pick it up, but they’ll need an ID of their own as well so it’ll get registered who picked up the parcel.

The US is a lot vaster but one still imagines people wouldn’t mind picking up packages from the nearest grocery store they use, if it meant that their shit can’t be stolen?

I mean I only need it to be there.

I genuinely don’t even know which part of a pizza you wouldn’t trust. Is it like the restaurant or the driver or your neighbours? What are they gonna do aside from swiping your pizza?

I remember like 6 years ago chatting on Reddit to some American about how the system of just leaving packages at the door is unsafe as fuck and I would never trust it with anything more expensive than a pizza.

Here there’s delivery points and automats in pretty much every grocery store. So you can have shit delivered, but unless it’s something massive (or delivered food), people rarely do. You just get a notification on your phone and pick up your package from the point you chose to prioritise. Sometimes it can be full and you have to pickup a package from the next point over, but they’re all over the place so.

The American went on a huge rant about how porch pirates are rare as can be and how it would be beyond frustrating and a waste of time to pick up packages from your nearest grocery store.

No you won’t.

Don’t forget davel@lemmy.ml

Yeah I guess it would be challenging to say the least to find a prostate on a seagull.

That’s not a footpath, it’s a clearing or a small road even. You can’t see the footpaths in winter, they’re about a foot wide if that.

30 meters “at best”? Nah bruv. Maybe in the summer for that specific place, but as there’s a ton of birch there and such an open place, it’s probably a photo from the edge of a clearing on the side of a field or something. You don’t get birch in most of the forests, it’s just pine, and pine doesn’t really have branches on the low part of trees. So in a pine forest, you’d see way further.
