The same in NZ. Is this that you never ever wear shoes on inside?
Is it acceptable to walk into your own house and walk around with shoes on? Sure.
Do most people do that most of the time? In my experience, people will be shoes off in their own home most of the time, but it’s not some big taboo to keep them on if you’re popping in to grab something.

Well, that’s a good point. However, if I wanted to export a CSV with only one decimal place, it would be mighty annoying if changing it to one in Excel didn’t save it like that in the CSV. Unless there was another option to control that.
- Comment on Real Struggle 😔 4 days ago:
Yeah thanks, I didn’t understand the original problem but I’ve got it now 🙂
- Comment on Real Struggle 😔 4 days ago:
Ahhh, the excel format keeps the precision but changes the display to 1 decimal. When exported to CSV, only that 1 decimal is exported, so you can’t bring back what isn’t there. But the original file still has it.
I understand now, thanks! Definitely a coworker problem not an Excel problem then.
- Comment on Real Struggle 😔 4 days ago:
Maybe, by why wouldn’t Excel let uou increase the number of digits in a CSV? The data is currently in Excel, and more digits isn’t incompatible with the CSV format.

Hmm yeah that’s what we figured. We were on holiday, we couldn’t take food home to eat later so just forced the food down then didn’t eat again for 24 hours 😆
- Comment on What kind of stupid rule is that? 6 days ago:
Ok serious question. I live in a country where they don’t serve you free bread.
What do you do if you eat all the delicious bread then you aren’t hungry anymore?
I had this real life scenario happen when I was in Canada and we felt obligated to order mains even though we didn’t want them.
Is it socially acceptable to pay for your drinks and leave?

But how do I read these subtle hints, can’t she just tell me how she’s feeling?
- Comment on Do people eat this? 1 week ago:
Fat and salt are the key ingredients in most fried food, so it’s basically deep fried bread.

Here’s the thing. Either it is all speculators and someone will be left holding the bag, or it’s a real investment.
Do you believe now that it’s a real investment? If so, then there’s no reason not to buy in now.
If you don’t believe it’s a real investment, and the price could crash at any point and you lose all your money, then it was as true back then as it is today and selling out was the wise thing to do even if in hindsight you could have made a lot more money.
Many people would compromise though, sell half to get their original money back and leave half. Then sell half again when/if it doubles, etc.

- Comment on Is this message supported by World admins? Is there any chance at all this slipped past their control? 1 month ago:
You can’t take your posts and comments, you can’t even do that migrating from one Lemmy instance to another.
According to this post, you can migrate your account settings (including subscribed communities) from Lemmy to Piefed.
- Comment on So how was your year in review? 1 month ago:
Doesn’t have to be the moment, just that they would disappear after some amount of time that is less than a year (so they can’t make a year in review page).
I seem to recall PieFed does delete certain topics (memes?) after some period of time, perhaps configurable per instance.

It’s built into Lemmy, the software. It was not made by Lemmy.world, they just run it.
You know you can use Piefed or Mbin and see the same content while avoiding using the Lemmy software?

Well if you get 50 from a large fries, isn’t it feasible they got 100 from two large fries?

I just took the info from the article, what is wrong about it?

In case people are wondering, from left to right in the bottom image:

- Beeple, real name Mike Winkelmann (the artist who made them)
There is also a Jeff Bezos one not in that image but seen in the other images.

I am under the impression it’s dedicated hardware not a VPS, but it’s leased from Hetzner they don’t maintain the hardware themselves.

Ah yip, makes sense, thanks!

Ah haha, I actively avoid using google so don’t log in to an account. If you don’t mind me asking, if corporate surveillance isn’t what you’re avoiding, what’s the main reason you’re using a VPN?
- Comment on Would this extension help folks in the UK with Imgur posts? 2 months ago:
No it’s a paid VPN, and it starts fast but after the first 500GB or so it slows right down.
I do suspect many of the issues are from activity on the VPN rather than specific VPN blocking, but that doesn’t change the issues.
How do you handle the Google Captchas that never end? That was the worst part for me.
- Comment on Would this extension help folks in the UK with Imgur posts? 2 months ago:
I have, thanks. The impossible to complete captchas are the worst for me, so many sites that are basically broken.
- Comment on Would this extension help folks in the UK with Imgur posts? 2 months ago:
Browsing lemmy is probably fine, but the general internet is a god damn nightmare to browse on a VPN. Can’t load that one reddit search result with what you need. Endless google captchas making you do traffic light after traffic light on sites you didn’t even kniw used google. Downloading games from GOG is capped at like 0.5Mbps. And I’ve had plenty of instances of cloudflare blocking VPNs to certain sites.

Stealing is quite a different crime from rape. If people are stealing, remove their need or desire to steal rather than locking them up and putting them in a position where everyone they know is a criminal. It’s a cycle that’s hard to break and we should be more careful about who we thoughtlessly throw in jail.
- Comment on Female tourist takes down phone-snatcher in Argentina 2 months ago:
Can I argue that increasing punishment generally doesn’t decrease crime long term, only short term. The change we need is to address the root cause not to increase the size of the stick.
- Comment on It's Fun For The Whole Family 2 months ago:
Hmm I haven’t seen this option before.
I definitely make use of controlling which apps buzz, and the priority setting which makes them go bz, bzzz, bz bz, etc. I don’t know where I get this trait from (it doesn’t seem to be a generational thing) but I feel it’s rude to have a phone’s volume on when others are around.
Being in a room with a bunch of people all watching things on their phones with thr volume on annoys me to no end. I feel bad even having it ding when others are around.
- Comment on It's Fun For The Whole Family 2 months ago:
Do different apps have different notification sounds? I’m a vibrate only person but I thought a notification sound was a notification sound, not some custom ring tone.
- Comment on Valves first title with a 3 in it 2 months ago:
They have definitely had third iterations of things, but have they called them 3?
I mean there are at least 5 half-life games, they just called the third one 1 and the fourth 2 and the fifth wasn’t numbered.
