  • I'm not at all disagreeing that Cam's Ham isn't serving Country Ham. I was just hoping to provide a little context to the graphic using the cited sources and some additional information.

    It's a graphic that someone's probably put a fair bit of effort into, not spam. This is spam:

    I also mention in another comment that this is likely based on a list by the Food Network.

  • Looks like this was based off a list of 50 sandwiches made popular by the Food Network and Zagat magazine.

    Specifically Cam's Ham in Virgina advertises the Ham and Mayo sandwich.

    Are these "state sandwiches"? Probably not. Judging by the comments, you're all rather passionate about your sandwiches and what they represent. I've even received reports on this post saying it's false information. Perhaps we need to consider the source of this information and take it with a grain of salt.

    Thank you all for remaining civil, and acknowledging the existing of sandwich alternatives such as hot dogs, tacos, and quesadillas.

  • While I typically try to avoid divisive comments in these light-hearted communities, this is a fairly informative one, especially in the context of etymology.

    We should also not be condoning scoffing at someone based on their understanding. Perhaps these could be opportunities to educate people that are unfamiliar with the differences.

  • Linux clipboard app which has functionality to paste multiple things after copying them in one go.

    Jump

  • I use Diodon. I've set it up so that copy is CTRL+C, Paste is still CTRL+V, but what I call "Super Paste" is SUPER+V, showing a list of the last 20 items that were copied, including images.

    Great utility, especially paired with FlameShot.

    The only thing is that the Super Paste always pastes unformatted. Not a big deal, but something to consider.

  • til: Benford's law: real life number are not evenly disribued, 1 occur 30% of the time

    Jump

  • This is a bit weird. I was just listening to Infinity 2 today (great book. Totally recommend), and there's a section where the characters use Benford's Law to prove reality. I then had to look it up myself.

    Just a super weird coincidence...unless Lemmy is listening to me...

  • What operating system do you use on your main computer?

    Jump

  • Linux Mint 21.2. it's a solid OS and supports all the games I like to play. I started and ran a business on it as well, so I have no neee for windows anymore besides proprietary software and hardware. I just dual boot in those cases.

  • Pipes is a great way to view YT content without logging in. No ads, clean interface, and you can log in to save playlists via cookies on your local machine, so no interaction with the server. It doesn't use the YouTube API, so Google can't say much.

  • TIL that a 28 year old Russian man went to the doctor for coughing up blood and having chest pains. The doctors diagnosed it as cancer, but it turned out to be a fir tree growing inside his lungs.

    Jump

  • The amazing 'discovery' was apparently made when they opened up Artyom Sidorkin, 28, to remove what they thought was a serious tumour.

    Mr Sidorkin had complained of extreme pain in his chest and had been coughing up blood. Doctors were convinced he had cancer.

    "We were 100 per cent sure," said Vladimir Kamashev, a surgeon in Izhevsk in the Urals. "We did X-rays and found what looked exactly like a tumour.

    "I had seen hundreds before, so we decided on surgery."

    Before removing part of the man's lung, the surgeon investigated the tissue.

    "I thought I was hallucinating," said Mr Kamashev. "I asked my assistant to have a look: 'Come and see this – we've got a fir tree here'. He nodded in shock. I blinked three times as I was sure I was seeing things."

    Medical staff said that Mr Sidorkin must have inhaled a seed, which later sprouted into a small fir tree inside his lung.

    The spruce, which was said to be touching the man's capillaries and causing severe pain, was removed.

    "It was very painful. But to be honest I did not feel any foreign object inside me," said Mr Sidorkin. "I'm so relieved it's not cancer."

    There was no independent verification of the surgeon's claims.

  • I'm tired of dogs. I just don't like them.

    Jump

  • I'm able to not only understand, but empathize with the OP. I don't like cats and I'd never own one. I completely understand where they're coming from. I was simply challenging their preconceived notion that all dogs (or cats) fit in one box.

  • I'm tired of dogs. I just don't like them.

    Jump

  • Sounds like you're painting all dogs with a brush dipped in your experiences. I can completely understand that. I also don't like those situations. They stress me out and make for an uncomfortable visit. I've had my backpack destroyed by a Frenchie, slobber on my clothes from a great Dane, conversations interrupted by a Yorkie, and staffie that just made me nervous.

    At the same time, I grew up with a Shiba Inu, and I now have my own Shiba. He's quiet, never begs, requires very little of me, and lays down quietly when guests are over. He loves people and is incredibly protective. It took quite a bit of training and patience, but I'm extremely proud of the good boy he's turned into.

    Yes, I love my dog and I'm not expecting you to, but I am asking you to be open minded to different experiences. There are good and bad owners while there are also compatible dog breeds. If aomwone has a border collie in an apartment, it will destroy everything. Same could be said for a Pomeranian that's understimulated.

    I respect your opinion and hope that you can one day see the good side of dogs and the companionship they bring into people's lives. While it may not be something in your story, for others it may be a necessary part of their day.
