This is why I end up doing so much DIY.

A job that takes a professional half a day could take me a whole weekend.
But having to play “how likely are they to fuck it up, and how much of a pain will it be to fix” drives me up the wall so much, I often just buy the tool and do it myself.

My time to do it: 15 hours, plus £200 in materials.
Cheap tradesman: 8 hours, £450 total, non-zero chance I’ll have to rip it out and re-do it myself anyway.
Specialist tradesman : 5 hours, £900-1200 total.

So it either ends up being lots of work, a gamble, or lots of money. Quick, good, cheap, pick two!

If my grandmother had wheels, she would be a bicycle!

Always strange how enthusiastic friends from the americas are about dogging, cottaging, and double-fisting.

Hosting NSFW content is an absolute ball-ache, so a lot of instances that are not NSFW focussed do not host it.
In the early days of feddit.uk, we decided to go the path of SFW, to simplify things.
I absolutely salute the lemmy-nsfw admins in taking that load on.
And it makes a lot of sense: If you’re going to deal with the headaches, you might as well focus entirely on them!

That’s the main reason I haven’t bothered upgrading mine any more.
100mbits with 3ms latency is pretty rocking.

Let’s just hope that it doesn’t end up like Snowpiercer!

Looks like a lovely place to relax after a long day asking people for heroin money.

“We realised we could use the same neural pathways that rabies does. Isn’t it lovely when nature saves a large corporation development money?”

So far, they’ve made the chocolate shit, made the filling shit, and shrunk the carton size (6 to 5).

The price doesn’t matter any more, I’m sure as shit not buying them.

You technically have to qualify for membership…But they’re not exactly rigorous in the checks.
There is a certain type of blow-hard over here who will make qualifying for a costco membership a point of pride.

Fortunately, most of ours can be reached by bus too.

Reminds me of the time I didn’t realise that my underfloor heating had week/weekend heat settings, and woke up to a 24 degree basement.

Helpfully, because bitcoin gets all the traderbro attention, monero has actually ended up being (relatively) stable because it has more of a purpose.

Or from the sounds of it, doing things more efficiently.
Fewer cycles required, less hardware required.

Maybe this was an inevitability, if you cut off access to the fast hardware, you create a natural advantage for more efficient systems.

Very nice! I’ll have to take a look at this.

So far, I’ve only done some things with variable heating targets, boosting if one room falls behind, and minor adjustments on presence detection.

Do teams photos even show to external orgs?

I am a creator!

The ninjas will get you.

It also gives you a retreat space if you’d like to stay, but want half an hour to yourself midway through.

Never sample your own product, I guess.

The UK trots out legislation like this every few years.
So far, it’s not gone through.
However, to paraphrase a parasomething, “You have to defeat the proposal every time, we just have to make it law once”
