Sounds like the Alcoholic's Anonymous loophole will work, you just need to decide your higher power is a doorknob or whatever.

They are, in fact, biscuits. They are cooked twice, baked then dried.

But they're also cakes. It's like a dried cake. Biscuit cake.

Claw back the money from investor dividends and management bonuses then.

I heard he was actually a king from Madagascar, and he likes to move it move it.

You put the mug in the microwave, that's how.

Just the mug and water, mind. You microwave the teabag separately.

They are scones. Savoury scones.

Biscuit literally means twice cooked, from the French, originally from Latin. A biscuit is first baked, then dried. These scones are cooked but once.

What's really weird is that the dish originated in the British Channel Island of Guernsey, where a lot of people speak French (it is close to France than England), most of their roads are French, and they have their own French dialect. And yet they cooked something once and called it a biscuit.

For me, the bigger problem with how Lemmy is federated is the way comments and posts have unique IDs for every instance. You can't easily find a comment or post from one instance on any other instance. With users, you just have /user/username@instance, what we need is /post/###@instance or /comment/###@instance. Instead, we just have /post/### and the ### is different everywhere (I think it's just sequential for every post/comment the instance federates).

Maybe there's some reason they did it this way, but it feels like the better solution is to have the original host instance decide the number, then every other instance just use their number and their @instance.

Pretty sure that was on the bug list 2 years ago.

Dunno, I was already here :o) just thought it was worth mentioning in a community on feddit.uk hah.

lemmy.zip doesn't allow users from the UK.

To be fair, lemm.ee didn't really act as host to any major communities to begin with. So communities aren't really the loss here, and it could be that having at least a few big active communities on an instance is a key part of maintaining its long term viability.

Also, all the text posts and comments from lemm.ee will still remain on other instances. I'm sure the instance could also back up content, if the specific admin so desired to re-host.

But those other 2 are chock full of extremists.

I always saw those two as something like far left indoctrination camps where people learn and practice astroturfing techniques.

The lemm.ee admin is a shit hot developer though, his instance was generally more robust than all the others, and he helped other instances when they had various problems. It's a shame he wasn't the lead lemmy developer, although I'm sure he doesn't have the time for such a big undertaking.
