- Comment on Busted box inside of a pristine Amazon box 10 hours ago:
I’ve used a DeLonghi espresso machine ($100) for close to 20 years now. My first one lasted 15 years.
It’s not perfect, but just about the best bang-for-buck on the market.

I’m not even that particular a out coffee, and I’ll be damned if I’m doing instant all the time.
I keep some around for emergencies, but otherwise it’s espresso/cappuccinos for me. A decent machine can be had for $100

Less intuitive for morons who never learned anything anyway.
Are YOU going to pay for the conversion?
- Comment on Why is hatred/dehumanization of the working class so prominent in the UK, when about 60% of the UK population is working class? 1 day ago:
Quit posting this nonsense under different accounts.
Chav is NOT a derogatory term for working class folks.
This is what I’m going to reply every time you post this garbage.
The Cambridge English Dictionary defines chav as “an insulting word for someone, usually a young person, whose way of dressing, speaking, and behaving is thought to show their lack of education and low social class.”

It’s based on behaviour.

Gonna need a source.
Also chav /= working class, no matter how much you make this claim and continue to post it.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 1 day ago:
I think it’s closely related to people with tens of thousands of emails in their inbox,
Nope.
I have a half dozen email address, about 20 aliases.
My inbox rarely has even 5 unopened emails.
I have 100+ tabs on desktop, over 100 on phone.

I was programming long before PC’s existed.
You’re paradigm of the world isn’t everyone’s.

Tab History shows every instance of a tab, not just 1 for the 300 times you visited it.

Same problem as bookmarks.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 1 day ago:
My bookmarks are organized. Haven’t used any of them in 10 years.
It’s a great idea that I like, it just doesn’t work for me.
Tabs in the sidebar do.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 1 day ago:
So you admit to doing the same thing.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 1 day ago:
Good for you.
I simply scroll down my tab bar to what I’m looking for.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 1 day ago:
Because, shockingly, not everyone sees the world the way you do.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 1 day ago:
Hahahaha, right.
- Comment on No Black Friday deal for loyal/previous customers 2 days ago:
Check into USMobile - they’re effectively a reseller of services on all the major networks, for far less.
I’ve traveled across the US using it, and I see it connect to different vendor towers (Verizon, ATT, etc) with 5g a lot of the time.
At home my phone shows US Mobile, as soon as I leave I get Verizon 5G.
- Comment on Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week 3 days ago:
Doing it safely is pretty simple.
Install Tailscale at both ends. Done.
It’s a fully encrypted mesh VPN.
If you need access without the TS client on the other end, that takes a little more work. Then you need to enable the Funnel option.

I’d tell some trusted friends too. Quietly. In person.

Or they just don’t care so long as it gets them the convenience they want - because they don’t understand what it means.

Yea, no, I wouldn’t recommend searching for this unicorn.
Scheduled sex with someone who’s indifferent to it?
Do you want scheduled emotional closeness with someone who isn’t into it?
- Comment on Why does a community called no stupid questions allow comments that say the question is stupid? 1 week ago:
Why are you asking this question? It sounds more like a rant.
I’m sure you know moderation is neither instantaneous nor perfect. So that makes this a rant instead if a genuine question.

HP has been up and down.
Years ago they were great, then they were shit, then they were good again for a short while.
I wouldn’t touch 'em today, but I’m a laptop snob and only go for the pro lines in Dell or Lenovo anymore. I have friends who spec systems for companies, and those have the least issues and are more maintainable than others.
Take apart some laptops, and you’ll come to appreciate the pro lines from Dell and Lenovo. I inherited an HP laptop, it was challenging to open without breaking stuff, and little is replaceable - the opposite of my Dell and Lenovos.

- Comment on What types of cleaning products do you *really* need to clean the bathroom? 2 weeks ago:
Fabuloso mixed at 1 Oz per gallon of water. Great for getting the scum off the tub, cleans everything but glass. It’s cheap as hell.
Vinegar & water for glass cleaner (with a drop of dish soap). Cleans better than store bought.
Occasionally I’ll use a specific toilet bowl cleaner when minerals start building up. I get the bottle that squirts up under the rim because that’s where mineral buildup starts.
But really, just about any light cleaner works for a bathroom, I’ve used everything. Just don’t use abrasives until you know exactly what you have for materials. Many baths are plastics these days, which are easily scratched by abrasives.
