I assume its still defederated for the same reason they defederated in the first place. Beehaw has the goal of running a strongly moderated instance, and Lemmy.world had too many users for their moderation to keep up with them. They plan to re-federate when they have the mods and mod tools in place to handle that much volume.

Yes, food that's too spicy for a person can definitely distract from the other flavors and if way too hot even cause numbness, but it's not actually chemically burning your taste buds. It's just tricking one particular type of heat receptor nerve to falsely detect heat. The numbing effect can happen when those nerves are over stimulated, which triggers an inflammation response as if you had just gotten a real burn. Those nerves do get de-sensitized with exposure, but since it's only one type among several different types of heat sensing nerve, it doesn't damage the mouth's ability to feel actual temperature heat. Only mammals have that particular type of sensory nerve, so birds, reptiles, etc. are completely unaffected by it.

Windows PE takes up a minimum of 512MB, which means the first 356 odd disks would be needed just to load the install environment. Can a UEFI bootloader even fit in 1.44MB?

A lot of good ones, but no one has mentioned Brothers: a Tale of Two Sons. Fairly short, controlling two characters simultaneously was a cool mechanic, and the puzzles were fun but not very challenging. It probably hit me the hardest of any game I've played. I literally teared up every time ::: spoiler spoiler I pressed older brother's interact button in the final chapter.

Now that you say that, I think that's one of the things I like about it.

I may have left reddit behind, but I will always carry the poop knife story with me in my heart.

It's an idiom in English (in American English at least, I can't speak for the other dialects). "Nut" can be slang for a crazy person, e.g. "That guy's a real nut." Other variations are "nutters" or "nut case". A " nut" is someone who is "crazy" about that topic.
