They’re talking about bubble foam tea. Sure that was a thing but at least in any part of America I’ve been in, boba tea and bubble tea from the start was the tapioca pearl drink.
Some people get this purist notion that things can only ever be one thing and screech if someone uses a term differently.
The “bubbles” refers to the little edible tapioca balls at the bottom.
The name started as “bo ba”, the Chinese name for the tapioca pearls, and the west turned it into “bubble”. No idea what the original Chinese means, could just be bubble.
It’s often a sweeter milk tea (though pretty much anything goes these days)
The Brazilian Nazis. Many of the ones who didn’t end up in Argentina ended up in Brazil with just as many stolen goods. (They say, I haven’t studied Nazi flight patterns)
Completely missed that. My eyes rushed over that as an alternative CPU I think.
We need more good AMD options dangit, not just NVIDIA
I dunno, my friend from Brazil says the Brazilian ones are just as bad.
That’s a good point for the future, but I meant on my Pixel 6a and I bought it directly through Google.
That’s yet another trend that’s made me less and less interested in things. You’re not wrong though and will likely be my fall back
Devolving*
I’ve been hemming and hawing. Switched to Linux pretty much full time for my PC, this will push me 100% into FOSS phone. Over half my apps I use would get blocked
Gotcha. I saw kbin in the domain and them asking about kbin so I just figured they were on kbin still. I see now their instance does actually look to be on mbin
Not necessarily. Two objects can still have friction in a vacuum together.

Every time I stumble across an uptime post I laugh, and then proceed to do my daily ritual of having to fully pull out my power cable and reinsert it to get the laptop to wake up.
I hate to be the one to let you know if you didn’t but kbin is dead. It hasn’t had any new code in 2 years and the main instances aren’t running. There’s probably issues all over with it and will only get worse
Codeberg was running Anubis. Apparently several bots have started just solving Anubis and scraping away again.
A lot of the forums I’m seeing talked about where more technical or objective kinds. Like in a car forum there’d be repair manuals or parts lists, fountain pen forums would have loads of images comparing inks side by side for different shades and hues. Those are the sorts of knowledge centers being discussed and reminisced about a lot here.
I can (potentially) explain the double bagged paper. Growing up in the South that was the de-facto cooling rack, no wire racks or wax paper like you see today. They were cut open, laid on any flat surface, them cookies or cakes or what have you were laid on them to cool. They’d wick away moisture or grease and be easy clean up.
Free with groceries and if they were double bagged you had enough for a double batch of chocolate chip cookies while also usually guaranteeing (usually) the bag wouldn’t split from condensation or something before you got home.
