You mean every laptop or desktop machine pre-System76?

Erm AKSHUALLY, I was making a reference to the fact that different operating systems run on hardware.

Aaaand this is why my milk costs $10/gallon. Animals need to be treated well.

No. Linux is an operating system. So is Windows. Hardware is hardware. They are not people.

Electric toothbrush is amazeballs.

That’s frustrating, sorry to hear that.

Important question: are you bleeding from the gums when you floss?

Healthy gums can handle normal flossing without bleeding. I floss once a day, before bed. Normal flossing does not involve super hard scrubbing, just enough force to scrape off stuff stuck between the teeth and dislodge stuck particles. You might also want to add some antiseptic mouthwash to your routine after flossing until your gums stop bleeding.

This is happening today. My poor bulbs!

I fucking hate Aptos. It makes my work emails (Outlook) look “quirky” and that is NOT what is needed.

Is it actually too many clothes, is it that you are judging them (given your note about your own wardrobe at the bottom), or a mix of both?

You need to avoid moral judgement. Focus on practicalities - is your partner meeting shared living expenses targets, are they meeting their savings goals; and how the clothes are or are not overrunning the space, resulting in obvious opportunity costs for you or the both of you.

I had the unpleasant experience of being in a group that applied SCRUM to research. Yes, the work involved software implementation, but research is largely antithetical to SCRUM. Yes, you need good research practices but a key aspect is that you don’t know where you will end up. The stand up meetings became 30 minutes twice a week. Arrrg.

And, you know, boil the water. Or bring chlorine tablets or a water filter.

You could thin it out with water too. Soylent comes as a premixed beverage or as a powder if you want it cheaper.

So glowy!

I’m fucked.

I have ended up in a “view all and block” mode rather than a “subscribe to a curated list” mode because of the smaller community. That means I need to block a lot more communities I am not interested in and users that are just… Outside my window of civility or politics that I can handle. Raging tankies, for example.

Yes. This is just gender stereotypes. Let’s abolish gender stereotypes instead. You do you, fam.

I was up in Montana near Kalispell in August 2008 and definitely experienced people target practicing and the rounds were uncomfortably close to where I had previously pitched my tent. That was scary.

I think that having the opportunity for live fire + hikers/campers in the same space is a recipe for disaster. No one ever walks across a gun range.

At least BLM could make zones that are designated live-fire areas so campers know to keep out, and hopefully rangers don’t have to do much enforcement.

I have blocked a lot of users and communities. I don’t need to see a ton of stuff about <thing> and I don’t need to deal with people who lack critical thinking skills. The “permit all and block” strategy works better with Lemmy being small and federated to keep learning about new communities.
