I think it has to do with the fact that every scone I’ve ever had is particularly dry and very dense. An American biscuit is denser than an average slice of bread, but still generally quite moist and spongy.
Maybe scones hit differently when they are very fresh? In the US we get scones almost exclusively at coffee shops or bakeries from the front window and I’ve never had one that was offered hot.
Edit: I would suggest a biscuit here is more like… Almost a croissant with thicker layers? Or like a stack of pancakes (made the European “crepe” sort of way, so pretty thin) but with thinner layers? Lol. It’s hard to exactly characterize.
“cryptic command like knowledge” which is mostly acquirable from 2 or 3 minutes reading the wiki.
Idk, I would probably just say it’s more flexible, but less discoverable.

dream_weasel@sh.itjust.worksto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•I didn’t think retirement would feel like disappearing slowly4·3 months agoNot as bad, but I had a crisis of self changing jobs. I left a management role I had for 15 years where I had visibility / notoriety at big 10 university and moved to a much better paying work from home job in industry an army of one with little oversight.
After 3 years I haven’t really figured out how to cope with it yet. Nobody looking to me for help, nobody to mentor, basically no meetings, no water cooler… Yeah I have lost some sleep, but I picked up chess, I got back into reading, and I’ve tried to add the structure back in that I gave up even though it looks different.
What I can say is that I definitely see what you’re getting at. I strongly doubt you were a workaholic or had some kind of unhealthy relationship with capitalism or whatever other crap is going on in this thread. I’m sure we will figure it out, but it is jarring to lose the sense of purpose / accomplishment / definition of leaving a well established role. Ive still got 15 or so years before full retirement becomes an option, so if you solve it, share the knowledge ;).
Why not? If they are not old enough to drive or go places on their own the phone is probably the main way they communicate outside of school. My family does hand me down phones for kids and I could imagine having compatibility issues like old android vs new iPhone can’t video chat easily or whatever.
I’m not saying this is for sure the case, but I can envision a world where having compatible phones makes some things easier. It is surely not as bad as the good old days when some people had flip phones and some had smart phones. But there still may well be a gap.
dream_weasel@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do people care so much that their friend or family member’s partner is attractive and not just loving?2·3 months agoMany people are themselves not particularly attractive, so this is may be a matter of realistic expectations.
It’s only interesting when there’s a large disparity in attractiveness which is generally anomalous. I think “many” falling into this category is probably an overstatement.
