I am definitely a llama.

I think wood chips were added later (after I was out of that school) “for safety” and then rubber mulch was an even later upgrade.
And when did something soft go in the playground area? Waaaay later, the school got actual grass in the playground - instead of playground equipment. 🙄 Building was closed within a few years of that happening.
…And right into rocks/gravel…
Don’t worry! You got this!
I always feel bitey after my visits to the vet, too.
(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ rrraaaaarrrh!
Good luck!

I think that - if you want to read current Marvel story arcs, but not buy every tie-in story (from characters you don’t really like or care about, for example) - digital comics are how you’ll want to go.
There are lots of ways to get free digital comics, and as the other reply said, use a search engine or wiki to find the reading order and all the tie-ins. That’s just the way Marvel does things, and I’m pretty sure DC does it the same way - that’s how the story stays cohesive, and how more sales are made. Your friend is absolutely right.
If you’re going to a local comic book store, try asking the employees - not everyone cares, or pays attention, but sometimes you’ll find a passionate employee (or owner) who can help you find the tpbs involved in the storylines.
When the first flavors of Pop-Tarts were released in 1964 (strawberry, blueberry, apple currant, and brown sugar cinnamon), the packaging machines were expensive, resulting in hefty up-front costs. So, to be economical about their investments, the company decided to package the product in twos at the start (explained in the book “Better Than Homemade: Amazing Foods that Changed the Way We Eat” by Carolyn Wyman).
“To package them singly would have required twice as many machines. Kellogg’s didn’t want to invest in a lot of machines until they knew how it would sell," said Bill Post, who managed the first plant to produce Pop-Tarts.

Not a new thing at all
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don’t think it’s a Sync only thing. I get that you can see them in the browser, but since I started using Lemmy last year I have noticed the occasional number of comments not matching the visible comments - not just in Sync, tho. It’s happened to me while using the pwa and with other apps.
If you want to switch clients, go ahead and try them out - there are a lot of choices these days. I think LW has a variety of frontend options, too. Maybe one of those will be a good fit?
(I dunno, I really like Sync, but I’ve also installed and used just about every Android Lemmy app, and just end up coming back to Sync each time. Don’t get me wrong - there are some that are really good, but Sync is still my top pick.)
Does it happen with defederated instances too? Say if the LW user gets a reply from a hexbear user? (I think those are defederated, at least)
It’s tea. Or maybe a cold soup, in the way that a taco is a sandwich.
(Preparation and ingredient rebels can make anything tea.)
For good luck, of course! 💩
Edit to add: yes, he probably does
That’s fair - I had just thought it must be the new normal, if it had trickled down to our city (city, but not big city).
The whole business of blaring ads at a captive audience is bs, either way!
I don’t live in a big city, by any stretch - but I guess it’s not the sticks, because we have that shit around here. And not just the busiest gas stations, by the highway. I hate it.
I thought it was normal to see silverfish every once in a while - but that if you see a lot of them it could be a problem.
It’s pretty normal to see them in a bathroom or kitchen, as they like damp areas; I have no clue about finding them in couches, tho.
Your voice is fine, and I don’t think it’s annoying. At all.
Maybe “hate” is a strong word for it, but everyone’s voice sounds different to their ears than it does in their head. It has to do with resonance chamber something something
Likewise. And that’s who I was supposed to want to go back and see (after 10 years or more of not being in touch with any of them)? Nah.
No real loss, honestly.
I think they have. Not the traditional ones, obviously, but there’s nothing saying you can’t make smaller versions with tech.
The physics of their shape controls how traditional instruments sound.
Take the violin family. Violin is small, has a higher tone in general than the next bigger - the viola. Viola is a little bigger so it has a deeper richer sound than violin. Next bigger is the cello which is much deeper than the violin and quite a bit deeper than the viola, but not as deep as the biggest of them - the upright bass, or double bass, which is the bassiest bass sound that you can really get.
Now consider that each of those can be just the neck board where your finger work to hold strings down, and the part that is usually where the bowing or plucking goes on without any of the body. That’s because of technology!
I’ll look for pics or links or something
Edit to add: if you look at these Wikipedia articles - even just scanning the pics - you’ll see what I mean.
EWI
Electric violin
Electric upright bass
You can get electronic instruments that are smaller than their traditional counterparts.
Pianos can be the size of just the keyboard with electronic synthesizers, which are what the keyboards are called that can be a piano or organ or a saxamaphone or guitar or harp or that alien sounding weird instrument… Or harpsichord or barking or… I mean, keyboards can make pretty much all the sounds.
The hollow body of the violin can be done away with and have just enough parts left to hold the strings and electronic parts.
Someone mentioned digital drum pads which are flat versions of their drum counterparts.
The Electronic Wind Instrument (also known as a EWI) is like a small clarinet that can make other instruments’ sounds.
Digital organs on synth keyboards are not the size of a room.
What do you count, if not those? Yes a tuba is still huge, but that’s the traditional horn. Traditional instruments need the physics of their size. Technology has made them smaller, by creating ways to make those sounds without needing the precise physics…
Haha - you too! I am also going to have to look into that, just in case 😅
Ooh, damn that’s rough!
I think we had some bars over asphalt/concrete/cement (I dunno, it was a big solid surface that was also the parking lot, the kickball diamond, the wiffle ball field, and where we had all of our field and track days) but I only ever fell off the ones over the rocks. I do remember friends with broken teeth or busted noses from that, tho.
