Do these people miss slavery so much they have to build humanoid robots so they can own them?

7.99/lb for Atlantic Salmon is a good price. I’ve only seen it go a dollar below that and not in a while.

I noticed meat prices jump at the start of covid. I used to shop at a store that was somewhere between a Whole Foods and a farmers market. They had all the prepackaged processed organic foods that will break the bank, but also cheap veggies that weren’t quite nice enough looking for mainstream groceries. They used to have some of the most affordable meat in town.

Now I just go straight to the local butcher (lucky to have one). Sure I pay 2-4 times as much, but it’s better meat, it’s a local business, and the grocery stores don’t get a cut! I just eat a bit less meat.

Yeah, even if we didn’t reuse, we could at least recycle. We got so into the craze of shoving computers in everything we stopped considering if we might be better off sticking to easily fixable tech for some things. My appliances are old as dirt, but parts are very affordable, there are 100s of youtube videos on how to fix them, and there are very few things that can break to begin with. That’s a far cry from the landfill of bricked smart fridges next to a factory somewhere.

Most amazing egg thing I’ve had was an egg white whiskey sour. It was at a bar, but I’ve successfully recreated it at home.

I took care of a friend’s chickens for a week or two once. I was carting off eggs by the bucketful. I would try it if I had the land, and dump the excess eggs on my friends for veggies from their gardens.

Good point. I ate the most eggs when I was in my wannabe gymbro phase because it’s cheap and easy protein. No longer.

That’s what every company/organization I’ve ever worked for has done. Oh, this intranet tool works okay and no one is complaining. Lets redo it in a “modern” style… (adds whitespace and truncates every meaningful text field so you have to mouseover and scroll for miles to read any of them even on a 4k display).

I think part of why Reddit succeeded initially was because it had some very KEY strengths/advantages. I would say that the old design and the URL scheme are part of that. It fit any screen nicely from phone though 4k TV, portrait displays, whatever. It was a simple design, but extensible by custom CSS and if you knew what you wanted, you could skip straight there by typing r/ or u/ in your URL. Enough reminiscing, if old reddit is gone,I don’t know if I’ll even be able to use reddit at all for anything. New reddit is one of those interfaces, like twitter, that never really made sense or worked for me. I’m just a Lemmy guy I guess.

I could go a lifetime without ever using OneNote again. That goes doubly for a web version.

Recycling and right to repair. If we could reclaim ~100% of raw materials in a useful way and avoid unnecessary waste it would have a big climate impact.

Since this is a private company, could the internet theoretically flood them with so many GDPR takedown requests (since they’re undoubtedly getting data from foreign citizens) and takedown requests around California, Colorado, and other state’s laws that they couldn’t handle the influx and he gears would be gummed up to hell… in Minecraft?

My partner bought a diatomaceous earth bathmat to replace the rug in front of the shower. It’s like stepping onto a piece of cardboard, so zero points for luxury. It does catch and re-evaporate the water well, so full marks there. Humidity is naturally low here, so no I have little to no worries about mold.

Depends on if they grew older or cooler with the years!

Mid-30s male here. I’ve been rocking the shoulder length to armpit length rock and roll hair. Many of the boomers give me a hard time, but everyone under 40 loves it.

Edit: I rarely give endorsements, but I would have cut my hair years ago without CurlSmith conditioner and intense serum.

I’m in the US, so it comes down to insurance. Can I be on my Spouse’s insurance during that time? How much would I have to pay to do COBRA insurance for 3 months (For non-us folks, this allows you to continue your insurance for a few months after leaving a job but tends to be very expensive as you have to pay your part and the company’s part)

As a general principal, I’d rather have the time than the money.

I’ve never had a reason to hope for a localized undersea earthquake before…

Having owned the OPX, OP6, and OP9, I would describe OnePlus as “good hardware, mediocre software.”. This time around I opted for a Pixel 8 Pro with GrapheneOS, but I prefer OnePlus over most manufacturers.

Is there anywhere I can find a complete scrape of Reddit threads and comments from before the 3rd party app apocalypse? There was a lot of useful info shared on there, but I don’t want anything to do with what that site has become. I’m happy just to CTRL+F a big dataset. It’ll probably still work better than either Reddit or Google does nowadays. Without media I imagine I could fit it somewhere.

Also, Spez is a greedy little pig boy.

Will do. Cleaning up the sourcing of my food for both health and political reasons is a goal of mine for 2025. If I can grow it, trade it, or get it from a farmer locally, the supermarkets can take the loss.

My local grocery store from the Safeway family of stores has Bluetooth beacons that crashed my old phone. Now I turn my phone off as I have to assume these are to track where I am in the store and for how long so they can further target their ads.

Actually downloading their app is 100% a no from me. I’m moving to local stores wherever possible because I can afford it, and to be honest, the grocers raised their prices so much, only certain items are more expensive bought local.

I’ve been looking into the local veggie co-op. You pay for the season and you can pick up a box of veggies once a week, all locally sourced. I’d go to the farmers market, but I’m worried it’ll just be a bunch of people selling marked up veggies they got from the grocery store.

There’s not a lot of reason to even jump from the 8 Pro to the 9 Series unless you slurp up the marketing hype, especially if you don’t care about intensive tasks like games.

For me personally, the new phone feeling comes from wiping my device every now and then and selecting exactly the right slate of apps to make my life easier/better/more organized.

When it comes to hardware it feels like there is less differentiation than ever before. Oneplus could make a case for their slider button, phones with a headphone jack or removable battery can claim bonus points for that, and I hear Sony has some nice form factors (tall & thin). When it comes down to it, the most important question for me is can I unlock it and get rid of any pre-installed junk.
