How much do you think it costs to make a pair of Nike shoes in Asia?

I think something I would also point out is that while we tend to talk about margin on a per-unit basis, most retailers are going to be more concerned about margin on the entire seasonal buy. Which is why you will see discounts to below that margin.

This is a rat's nest of idioms...

Er, the expression is "look what the cat dragged in," which I suppose still isn't very rat friendly.

Would love an explanation of what these things are

Shrimp, anyone?

Cid Vicious @sh.itjust.works 1y ago

I have an orange cat but I usually think of him as more of a chicken nugget than a shrimp.

It's largely because I'm not sure to what extent breeds existed in the ancient world but I suppose considering the time spans involved I shouldn't be surprised.

Interesting how much the ancient mug looks like modern dog breeds. I would've expected them to look more wolfy.

So you explicitly convert it to a string and then are surprised that it's not treated as a float? There's =value() that will convert these.

Is this Canadian soil? It may be a declaration of war.

How do you plan to cool down your apartment this summer?

I tried to think of a name. Then I thought of this.

Huh I hear the same word used occasionally in english. I wonder if that's regional or not.

What's your favorite Lemmy mobile client?

Was trying out Voyager and Thunder yesterday. Thunder seems like the winner to me. Voyager's appearance isn't customizable enough for my tastes. I am not a gesture person (I prefer to turn swipe actions for posts and comments off entirely) and really need more tappable things for Voyager to work for me.

One thing I would like in thunder is the ability to hide more of the interface when replying to comments. I have large thumbs and in landscape mode (which I type in exclusively) the button bar takes up a lot of space that could be better used for seeing my typed text and the comment I'm replying to.

I think in the US it's synonymous with pancakes mostly but it may refer to more old-fashioned, rugged, whole wheat ones that are a bit thicker than most modern pancakes. It's definitely a bit ambiguous though. Whatever you linked to is definitely not something I've ever seen or heard of in the US though. Edit: I'll also mention I'm not sure what golden syrup is. We have stuff like karo or molasses as baking ingredients, or various maple or maple-ish syrups that typically top pancakes.

I think it will probably vary regionally. Diners and breakfast places often have lots of variations. A couple others I thought of are griddle cakes (old-fashioned pancakes) and saddlebags (which are pancakes mixed with meat and other stuff). I've seen stuff like yeast-raised whole wheat pancakes (which I don't know if they have a particular name). I could also name a few places where you could get things like okonomiyaki or scallion pancakes in my city. Those super thick Japanese-style pancakes also seem to be kind of trendy. America is a big place and there's lots of food variety.

Well in America we have pancakes, flapjacks, Dutch babies, crepes, Johnny cakes, and probably other things I'm forgetting about that are pancake-adjacent.
