I went to a Hotel Furniture liquidator for some new furniture. Saw a good looking office chair and they only wanted $20 for it.
Brought that bad boy home and only then did I find out that they had sold me a new Herman Miller Aeron for only $20. Completely insane.
Having played a lot of NMS and now sinking time into Starfield, these comparisons need to stop. NMS and Starfield are wildly different games.
It's just like when people compare Terraria and Minecraft, or Overwatch and TF2. It's a poor comparison beyond the vague theme of each game.
NMS and Starfield are both set in space, give the player a spaceship, and let the player land on planets. That's where the similarities end.
I'll never understand the eternal hype around "flying cars". Fuckers out here can hardly drive on a 2d road. Now you want to introduce a third axis on them?
I guarantee that if the general public gets their hands on a real "flying car", it'll take about 2 weeks before some drunk idiot commits a mini 9/11.
It's called Haggis, thank you.
Nat-c's for short.
Pretty easy. Get a big flat slab of solid matter (probably wood, plastic, or metal) and put a handle in the middle.
It's in a book. They'll never find out...
I don't have any advice. I just wanted to contribute a humble HELL YEAH BROTHER.
Definitely watch Capaldi. His Doctor is right up there with Tenant in my book.
Be advised though, if you continue watching, Jodie Whittaker's seasons are... different...
It's not Jodie. They changed writers and directors after Capaldi and I was not a fan.
Honestly why don't we have a nether portal transit system already. Server is how old at this point? Smh my head.
I just started skipping the middleman entirely and now sprinkle lead chips directly onto my food. Saves tons of time and gives it that sweet sweet lead flavor. Mmmmmmm
Really puts me in touch with my roman era ancestors. 😊
I agree. Totally went into it blind and I found it inoffensive and absolutely fuckin hilarious.
I'm convinced the media wants Trump to win exclusively because he makes them lots of money. They made a killing during the Trump years just by reporting on the live status of the dumpster fire.
They haven't made as much money under Biden, so they're undermining the fuck out him in favor of Trump.
Classic capitalism. Profit > Truth. Profit > Democracy.
James Madison was a fraud! He used ChatGPT instead of writing out his homework like he was supposed to. Smh my head.
This is what happens when any organization is run by an endless cascade of conspiracy theorist nutjobs. People who are unable to conceive or accept reality are also unable to manage reality including finances. Their strategy for everything is to gaslight and throw blame. There's not even a shred of critical thinking about how they're actually going to manage or solve the problem.
Gaslighting a bank will not work as well as gaslighting voters.
Pirate a CAD program, learn how to use it, then pay for the certification test.
After passing, you apply for CAD designer jobs or do Freelance CAD. You'll have a leg up on everyone else if you have that certification. Many of these jobs are remote and don't require college.
CAD programs may seem daunting at first, but they are actually pretty straightforward. If you can do basic math and play video games, you can do CAD.
Crazy how nature do that
Make sure to loop a lock through the frame and both wheels. I use an ABUS frame lock on my rear wheel (never has to be removed) and a kryptonite chain lock for the front wheels and frame.
If you want to get really secure, replace fasteners with tamper resistant versions.
Nothing is ever theft proof, but there's lots of ways to make your bike very theft resistant.
Everything I hear from Vets is that they also inhale lots of toxic fumes.
Here's a case study for you: An eating disorder hotline got rid of the humans in favor of an AI chatbot. Lasted less than a week before it was giving horrible advice.

Psychology will be controlled by humans, probably forever.
End? I think the word I'd use would be "Start".
It's like trying to slam a revolving door.
Selling anything online via Craigslist or FB marketplace, or any similar thing is just an awful experience all around.
I sold a car a couple years ago on FB marketplace and it was the same deal. Everyone thinks that somehow, low balling will work. As if I'm going to sell a $3000 car for $100. Like, bruh.
I ended up just replying "lol" to any low ballers and blocking them.
A fun alternative though is to agree to their low ball price, give them address to the local clown school, and then ghost em when they ask where you are. If they are gonna slide into your DMs to tell jokes, they should at least learn how to do it properly.
All these comments and not one mention of Tasting History with Max Miller. If you like food and/or history, check it out.
Infinity war comes to mind for me. IIRC, the trailers contained a bunch of fake footage that wasn't actually in the movie to prevent spoiling anything.
I lift 3x a week. I do it because it helps my mental health a lot and I feel good afterwards. The high is real but you gotta push yourself pretty hard to get it.
As for starting, start small. Maybe start with a half hour walk every day. Then make it longer. Then replace the long walk with a short run. Then longer runs. Then maybe you want to try something else that's a little tougher and you start lifting weights. That's what happened to me.
But you gotta stay on schedule. That's the hard part. It's really easy to get complacent and stop.
Anything between you and the ground is always worth buying quality. Shoes, tires, mattresses, etc.
Yes*
It's got all the cards with art, a good deck builder, and it supports multiple game modes, including Commander. It's also got bot players that are good to test decks against and it forces game rules, so it's good for learning.
*I've never gotten the multiplayer to work. My friends use Cockatrice for that. (Also FOSS) Cockatrice is clunkier and much more manual to use but, the multiplayer works.
I think I'll be looking into Boardwalk. I haven't heard of that before. How long does that 40lb detergent bucket last you?
It's modern capitalism 101. Can't beat them on the market? Start filing frivolous lawsuits until your competition collapses under the weight of legal fees even if they win every case.
Fusion 360 is a watered down version of Inventor, so kinda?
Top CAD programs are: Solidworks, Creo, Pro-E, and Autodesk Inventor. Solidworks is probably the most in-demand.
You like nature, and paddle boarding, and LGBT friendly spaces? Skip the West Coast, come live in the Twin Cities. It's really nice here, it's safe, has all the things you're looking for, and it's not unfathomably fucking expensive.
The only downside is that winters are cold. Bring a winter jacket.
As others commented, lining up a job is step 1 to any move. That will be be the hard part.
This thread is a couple months old at this point but I figured I'd reply anyway.
Maybe you had a different experience but I experienced this transition in middle/high school in west MI. The first Gen iPhone released in 2007. 3G was widespread and while that might be considered slow these days, it was state of the art speed at the time, so it wasn't considered "slow and unusable".
In 2007, kids my age didn't have much tech beyond an iPod or MP3 player. By 2009, almost everyone had a smartphone. That was a huge leap in internet accessibility.
Yes, but only in Europe.
My wife and I just bottled our first batch of mead last week. Can confirm, super easy. We live in a little one bedroom apartment.
Live your dreams Op.
Oh so no more gun bans in public places? They won't even stop you if you, say, show up to the judge's courthouse with a loaded rifle? That's ok now?
According to the judge, it's apparently just fine to show up armed at banks, Churches, and playgrounds like that's a normal thing people do.
We're about to find out how many people browse this lmao
My wife and I recently started making Kombucha to help with my IBS and have been flabbergasted at how stupid easy it is. If you're someone who likes Kombucha, just go for it. It's literally so easy to make.
This is the answer. I'm 26 and most of my peers didn't really use the internet beyond the occasional usage of the school library computers until Apple released the first iPhone. By that time places like Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit were up and running.
That's all their experience with the internet is. Polished experiences through dedicated apps on extremely popular platforms. Now those people have had kids and all those kids know is the same thing. It's all apps on phones and tablets.
Lemmy: A) Is too complicated in it's current form for those types of people to effectively understand and use.
B) Lemmy is currently emulating a type of early internet experience that only nostalgic older millennials nerds crave. General users tend to prefer bigger platforms.
