Random curiosity: Do you know of this icon ☰ as a “hamburger” menu?

I asked some friends and my wife and the results were about a 50/50 split. Some thought “duh, of course everyone knows that” and others quite literally replied “what the hell are you talking about?”.

I am aware of people using that name, but it is a misnomer. The symbol designates a crĂȘpe cake, just before you pour the chocolate on.

I know the word and still think it’s weird. Please keep fatty food out of my UI thanks a lot. It’s the menu button to me.

I cancelled my Prime subscription about 6 months ago, so it’s another temporary sign-up needed every now and again when I’ve saved up enough shows to watch for a month. I already do that with Apple and a Canadian streaming service.

We’re not quite at old cable package levels yet, but we’re getting close. At least we’re not locked into a yearly contract these days and can sign up / cancel on a monthly basis.

But I remember when Netflix was $8 a month and it was all we needed :slight_smile:

Todays Astronomy Picture of the day is quite impressive, worth a look! What a lucky shot.

Edit: this is the correct link for Dec. 16.

This feed is awesome. Does anyone know if there are any mirrors in higher res? It would be great as a daily wallpaper, but the resolution of the image is often times limited if you have a high res screen

Your link seems to point to the main page which shows the picture of the current day.
I assume you meant the one from 16. Dec.?
Indeed, an amazing and probably very lucky shot.

Such cruelty and irresponsibility. Tragic and horrible.

AI slop discovered by someone on r/ottawa. Not aggregious egregious, but unwelcome for sure.

I would argue that it is egregious :slight_smile:
It’s ugly and smacks of an agency trying to cheap out.

I really hope the backlash picks up pace for when we see this kind of thing. Let’s use artists and keep them in business, or at least let some graffiti kids do some cool wall art.

Honest typo; at the same time, an egregious one. Ha ha.

PS. I think it was a portmanteau of aggressive and egregious.

I wondered if you were taking a swipe at @agriggio !
(I didn’t really)

It actually wasn’t my attention to highlight your typo but to say that I find the slop genuinely egregious. That duck with the human fingers? Yuck!

A random find for me! One of those words of which I never knew the meaning :slight_smile:
