I can see that. My feet take a few days of careful husbanding before they develop the callouses for a new pair of sandals, and there’s gonna be some sore spots. It helps to stick a bandaid over the sore spots to give them a chance to toughen up.
I can well imagine that some people might take longer or develop blisters more easily, preventing the skin from getting to that point. Dry skin is a good hypothesis.
Socks are a totally decent option. If it’s not going to happen, don’t try to force it. /nod

Ive tried that, i find the socks make them too likely to slip when I walk. Don’t understand it.

Well… use certbot’s new dns persistence mode. That may be a few years before it gets in. May be in backports.

No, it would be a tax on revenues that amazon, facebook, adobe, xitter, etc extract from Canadians. Digital Services. Subscriptions, software, that kind of thing.

Digital. Services. Tax.

It also absorbs oil like crazy, so you have to be careful and when and how you introduce fats.

You would probably also want to wear a mask to keep from breathing metal powder. Eye protection as well!

True!
- Comment on Gary Stevenson: 'Tax wealth or we'll return to the feudal age' 1 month ago:
Taxing wealth strikes me as like trying to scoop out the ocean. We have to recreate beaver dams and restore the metaphorical flood plains. Spread out and soak in. The water table is going down and the land is subsiding; moving some water isn’t enough.

“Golden 80” is a pretty common formula here. Service plus age. 70 is pretty crazy.

I use jars small enough that they are physically unable to do so.
- Comment on is our battery/junk drawer dangerous? 2 months ago:
Dunno if it helps but I put batteries in glass jars. Keeps them from getting contacted by metal things, keeps the leaks contained.
- Comment on "If you can't afford to tip 40%, then don't eat out" 2 months ago:
I tip 0% at places where I go to the counter, order, wait, pay, and retrieve my food. That is a base level expectation, not a service or a favour.
It helps that we don’t have a ‘tipping wage’ anymore.
