I assume you’re talking about not defining PFLAG? Acronyms widely understood by the target audience aren’t always defined. The LA Blade is an LGBTQ publication so PFLAG not being defined makes sense.

I had read (in a comment here, so take with a grain of salt) that some had started doing Proof of Work.
I.E. they ask the visiting computer to do some math. This is potentially less annoying to people than clicking on traffic lights or typing unreadable text, but could get costly if you’re using bots.
That could explain the difference in experiences. I filter out those communities as best I can given the tools available.
Per capita probably isn’t a good way to measure this.
Car deaths should probably be by miles driven.
The bag suspended from a stick is called a bindle was also real. I suspect these were just replaced by backpacks that were cheap/ubiquitous enough.
IIRC, the Pope is only considered infallible when they say they are. Otherwise they’re just speaking as the highest ranking member. So most of the time what they say is not treated by members of the clergy as the literal word of god.
Maybe other Catholics are more in the know, but this isn’t a distinction I was aware of when I was a practicing Catholic. That might be because the Pope really didn’t come up much at all. I’m sure he influenced policy, but his words seemed to come up in the news, and not really much outside that.
For me it also happens constantly with things like the crossword, which obviously can’t be listening.
Links between folks is part of it, but a lot is just ordinary coincidence.
Maybe English (Malta) if that’s an option
Has-text is case sensitive. Adding / before the keyword and /i after will set it to case insensitive.
Example:
lemmy.world##.d-sm-block.d-none > .row:has-text(/Blockchain/i)
You can also use | to add multiple keywords to the filter.
Example:
lemmy.world##.d-sm-block.d-none > .row:has-text(/Blockchain|ChatGPT/i)
I’m not who you’re responding to, but you may wish to check the first comment in the thread again.
The first comment says “running theme,” which most people would interpret to mean generally.
It really depends what sort of recipes you’re making, but for cooking very loose approximations are often fine.
I often have to convert to weight/mass in order to find out how much of an ingredient to buy. I have no idea how many cups an eggplant is. But once I get it home the recipe might as well say “however much eggplant you have.”
If I’m truly off, I will typically scale up the recipe adjusting for the extra meat or vegetable content. I’ll more or less assume that 1lb of meat is interchangeable with 1lb of veggies. That’s not quite true, in particular with salt.
Your mileage may vary though. Some recipes and ingredients are much more sensitive to deviations.
