• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What options does one have when they reach the end of a car lease but cannot find a good deal at the time of it's end?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  You can usually purchase the car you were leasing for an amount that was agreed upon when you started the lease.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The U.S. Chinese immigrants running Temu shipping centers from their homes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d put big money on the latter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do PhDs HAVE to use Dr?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Doctor Snooty McFace, Esquire

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do PhDs HAVE to use Dr?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No one has to do anything. Live your life. Choose how you want to be addressed.

  You don’t hear lawyers going around being called Dr. Lastname, despite having JDs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can call the places sending you junk and ask to be removed from their mailing lists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There are some domain names that have requirements but nothing like you’re thinking. The only one I would consider automatically providing useful information would be .gov.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do rotating plates in microwaves help when heating food?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I always forget that. Instinct is to put things in the center.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would you consider making a sandwich to be "cooking?"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on the sandwich. If you’re constructing a sandwich without using heat, I would consider that “making lunch” or “making dinner” but not explicitly cooking. I’m not sure that the difference matters in any significant situations, though. Why are you asking?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is there no Christmas version of Spirit Halloween?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe you’re looking for Christmas tree farms.

  Also, there are so many year-round Christmas shops.

  Also also, Spirit is mostly for costumes, which aren’t relevant to Christmas.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YubiKeys are vulnerable to cloning attacks thanks to newly discovered side channel⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks! That makes a lot of sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YubiKeys are vulnerable to cloning attacks thanks to newly discovered side channel⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Potted?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I alleviate bitterness due to lack of intimacy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Therapy. Also focusing on your hobbies and filling your life with joys that don’t focus on a datemate. But definitely therapy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is a Disney Theme Park Vacation Still Worth the Price?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you for the article.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Against all odds, an asteroid mining company [AstroForge] appears to be making headway⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The docking mechanism is simple—since the asteroid is likely to be iron-rich, Vestri will use magnets to attach itself.

  Love this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where Are You Supposed To Buy Pajama Shirts?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They usually come as pajama sets that have matching pants and shirts. I’d check places like Target, JCPenney, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Ruined Windows⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hi, try Linux Mint.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨JPEG is Dying - And that's a bad thing | 2kliksphilip⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Anyone have a text summary?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some things you can do to maintain your teeth when you don't have health insurance amd can't afford dental care?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can get dental work for cheap or free by reaching out to dental schools near you. They always need patients for their students.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do trees know?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And thank goodness! I love watermelon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Inside the 'Nightmare' Health Crisis of a Texas Bitcoin Town⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They should be required to shut down some of the machines to get under noise ordinance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The trouble is, you’re looking for internal consistency to their arguments. You need to look at the theme of the arguments: namely, they don’t like the “black people exist in the USA” part.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony kills off [recordable] Blu-ray and optical disks for consumer market — business-to-business production to continue until unprofitable⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure some people use them for backups.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is 0.3 quarts extra too mich oil in a car?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That… seems… bad… but what do I know

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How many people actually want fully on-site IT jobs?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been remote for over a decade; not going to stop now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I used an original iPod in 2024, and it was pretty fun⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
  1. Touchscreen. Needs physical buttons.
  2. Has too much functionality. Not good for sleep hygiene.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I used an original iPod in 2024, and it was pretty fun⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The issue is keeping them working. My wife has iPods (gen 3?). We’ve backed Tangara in the hope that it will replicate the experience and let us finally replace them. It’s surprisingly difficult (read: impossible) to get something that plays music, has a wakeup alarm, and has a sleep timer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do companies get out of rewards programs⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fuck, now I really want Oreos.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord is nuking Nintendo Switch emulator devs and their entire servers⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Revolt also actively discourages you from self hosting because they want to get the network effect going, and you can’t do that if everything is splintered.

  I have yet to find a Discord alternative, and I’ve looked a few times.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No, since it would have created atoms, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think that membership into suicide pacts will increase dramatically within the next decade because the world is falling apart at the seams?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  No; people will always have hope.
