More generally, just use Libredirect and avoid using a ton of important but shitty websites. Breezewiki in particular is fantastic, so much faster than Fandom and it’ll redirect you to a game’s actual official wiki since Fandom SEO’s itself to the top even when it has shitty misinformation and isn’t maintained.
I don’t hate my coworkers that much.
64 ounce Stanley water jug. I throw ice in it and I have something cold to drink all day. It’s beautiful.
Bidet has been good though now it feels gross to shit at work and my politics demand I shit at work.
Contact grill, ie a GE brand George Foreman. I can’t fuck up flippimg shit if I’m frying both sides simultaneously. And a food thermometer so my colorblind ass isn’t relying on mom’s shit advice to just cook it until it’s brown.
This battery car starter / tire infator / phone charger. I have used it with some frequency, but more often I can just roll up and fix someone’s car problem super quick. I even get out of work with it a lot when a customer needs someone to jump their car or fix a flat (also keep a tire patch kit obv).
All of this is bought from thrift stores. I can only assume most of my shit was originally shoplifted, it’s fantastic. There is just so much good shit being sold for almost nothing, I am the KING of expired Chips Ahoy.
there is a cure for incontinence and all those people wearing adult diapers are simply cowards
My main reason for buying a 6 refurbished was GrapheneOS. Beyond that, it’s a phone without an SD card slot or an easily replacee battery. When this phone gets an issue I can’t fix, I’ll probably re-evaluate what to get - hopefully still a GrapheneOS phone but more repaiarable and expandable.
Libredirect in general is fantastic, a lot of shit websites become so much more usable. In particular not having to use Fandom is a godsend, that website in particular is just awful.
it uses barely anything. youtube-tui is a TUI not CLI, you can click on shit and it’ll run on hardware that for some reason cannot handle freetube of all things. you will have to set up mpv or something for most leaner alternatives to get video running on hardware that modest.
use youtube-tui then nerd
Neovim can can certainly be an IDE, but its complexity comes from having a lot of features to rapidly edit text. d5d deletes 5 lines, vwwy selects two words and yanks them, gg returns to the beginning of the file, etc. It’ll maybe do some code highlighting out of the box but its featureset is about never needing to touch a mouse or leave home row.
It’s about like notepad++ on Windows in that it’s very good for quick edits of a file or otherwise manipulating plaintext but it isn’t good out of the box for actual writing meant to be read by other human beings.
aren’t you on a fucking anarchist instance, ding dong? shut the fuck up, we don’t do “apolitical” theatrics here.
And the absurd thing is that we probably should use natural diamonds for jewelry, as it is a waste to synthesize such a common rock. If they weren’t hoarded and aggressively marketed as something you have to have, they could just be a neat rock some people are into, there wouldn’t be child slaves dying to dig them out of the ground.
If it’s wedding ring, the marketing has been about how the purity of the diamond is symbolic of the purity of one’s love. So picking an uglier, but purer, diamond then coild be about prioritizing love over beauty or whatever in that person’s head.
So not necessarily exclusive to people wanting to present themselves as wealthy, that sort of emotional manipulation convinces broke people to blow their savings on a ring all the time.
Man, not even the cheap shit. $9 for 26.5 oz jar. How much did that even cost to do?
Worse. The game is Pathfinder 2e, the GM is following WBL, and if you use that healing potion - or literally any consumable ever - you can’t sell it to get your +1 striking rune a little earlier.
Divine blessings are not for me to use during tough boss fights, they are for my opponents in PvP to spam knowing they can just save scum from a backup save.
RE does help somewhat with limited inventory space - I find myself shooting weapons with abundant ammo to make room for new loot, despite being a consumable hoarder myself.
The issue is that any philantropy a billionaire does comes from money “earned” through exploitation and is never enough to un-make them a billionaire. Even if they did, it’s still a single person taking the resources of millions of people and controlling it themselves to put into their pet projects, in a completely undemocratic manner - so Gates gets to benefit from the looting of Africa and then turn arounf and tell Africans how he will be allocating that stolen loot. Oh, and that man controlling so much policy in various African nations thinks Africa is overpopulated, an extremely racist eugenicist myth.
The good and bad are not separste things you can judge in isolation, any “good” a billionaire does is only possible by causing disproportionate harm. It is not as though these billionaires are personally doing much of anything, they are simply seizing resources from the public to inefficiently address problems that the public could have managed themselves if they were permitted to control their own lives, if they aren’t just doing what Gates does of using donations as money laundering.
I have some deeply tech unsavvy people in my life who will fuck up their phone trying to “uninstall Google” - and thus disable all their keyboards - that would probably benefit from a “just works” degoogled phone. I love GrapheneOS, but it assumes the end user is the sort of dork that is capable of installing it in the first place - people who struggle with tech deserve privacy too.
