Whelp, gonna have that song stuck in my head for days.
In the US, $ comes before a number, and ¢ comes after. It helps differentiate them at a glance. $1.50 or 75¢ You only use one symbol at a time.
Not all that many uses for the ¢ left these days, I suppose.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•do you think lemmy will ever be popular?
2·1 year agoI was gonna say I think I liked reddit more before the digg folks came. Maybe Lemmy is right where it should be.
Using “bis” for toilets is funny, like you’re grinding a raid at the hardware store hoping for an epic toilet drop.

21·2 years agoChicken just isn’t gonna need to be that precise. It’s not an ingredient that mixes with others in that way. That being said, chicken is an item that most recipes would mention by weight. Nobody is going to actually weigh out the chicken; they’ll just go with a close measurement, or use potentially use the packaging it came in for reference.
Pretty sure the lens flare was just added in photoshop. As far as the “tele lens” goes, I think that’s just a semantics thing. I agree that shooting straight into the sun like that would make it impossible to get that exposure.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the worst scam you've fallen for (or gotten close to falling for)?
1·2 years agoCurious what would have happened if you just stopped at $30 up (also remember, $ before the number; ¢ after)
Was the $30 paid into your account, or in the form of a check or something?

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why don't we have one timezone covering the whole earth?
102·2 years agoI think they mean concepts like morning and evening, or day and night would remain. The difference would be that in London, midnight would be 12:00am, but in San Fransisco, midnight would be… 16:00 / 4:00pm. Each timezone would have to adjust the numbers, in the same way the southern hemisphere considers January to be in the summer.
You’ll learn pretty quickly how just aperture affects a photo, in how much depth of field you have. The part that’s more nuanced is figuring how zoom plays into that as well. Zoom also compresses the depth in a shot, so to speak. The most extreme version you’ll see is towns with mountains towering above them that seem like they’re in the back yard, but there’s really a ton of distance. It just looks almost flat because the photographer is using a really long lens.
There are apps/calculators that will give you the depth of field for any given focal length and aperture, but I found it to be a lot of trial and error when learning how the various settings work together.
You don’t gotta pay $20 to have a chickpea on you.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why does lemmy have it, so any link takes you off the page instead of opening in a new tab or window?
4·2 years agoIt also has a light mode now. I know that was a drawback for some folks when it was first being mentioned.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Gamers. What was the game that got you into the hobby?
2·2 years agoHawken
I still feel like this had one of the best atmospheres in gaming. Something about it felt so visceral. I had such high hopes of playing it in VR eventually, but by the time VR really came out, Hawken was already dying away.

2·2 years agoChopper Commando on the PC Jr and River Raid on the Atari 2600 were my first gaming loves.
Your reply helped me understand what on earth was happening. I was like “wimin and wimen?!”




Unrelated, but you have any rabbits I could pet?
