Washing in hard water can make cotton feel rougher.

Also when cotton is damp, like if you sweat much, it tends to be abrasive. That is why hikers say 'cotton kills' and recommend you stay away from it in favor of wool or synthetic 'technical' fabrics.

If you are willing to grind your own grain, whole grains can be stored in plastic buckets for years without spoiling. You've probably got to like whole grain stuff, sifting to get white flour is a pain.

Some of the bags contained older men with dirty necks?

How do you communicate this with math? Makes the Italian chin flick gesture.

Conversely, I hate people who can't maintain an even speed and are constantly hitting their brakes unecessarily to compensate for having sped up too much for the car in front of them.

So with a chunky soup, do you use a giant straw like sucking up oversized boba?

If someone called you a 'poopyhead' how great would the rage be?

No, because there's only one of you, you'd sound pretentio.

Are you sure that's your jurisdiction? Isn't that typography or something?

He's a vegetarian.

 

So is this Thunder itself or some app it is deferring to whose config I should look at?

Basically videos start out dim for a few seconds until the video controls fade out. This means the first few seconds of every video are basically unwatchable, and with short videos this is all or most of the video. For example https://lemmy.world/post/17884719

 

Of the many Lemmy clients I've tried, Thunder is the one I like the best, but the one place I have nits is the creating a comment experience.

After typing the comment you have close you keyboard, to have any hope of the create button being visible (if your comment is really short) and then scroll all the way back up to the top. Isn't the bottom the obviously better place for this button?

Even worse, if in trying to scroll the screen, you accidentally hit the little horizontal bar at the top, you just lose your comment.

Finally, it seems to always lose my place in the thread and put me back at the top after entering a comment.
