- Comment on Does this count as 1 stop or 2? 6 days ago:
People here are well-trained enough to make a hole.
- Comment on Would it be unnecessary or annoying if I put "boycott israel" post it note on a sodastream at Lidl? 2 weeks ago:
Do you have a source for that claim? Because it seems counter-intuitive to me.
- Comment on Would it be unnecessary or annoying if I put "boycott israel" post it note on a sodastream at Lidl? 2 weeks ago:
It can be very hit and miss. They might not care if a dozen people complain. Or they might make drastic, systemic changes based on a single complaint. That’s certainly how it goes in the supermarket I work in.
No reason not to give it a try, only costs a stamp.
- Comment on Is Framework an ethical company? 2 weeks ago:
I got the hell away from Proton when they started leaning heavily into AI and shitcoins. I don’t believe they’ve changed course since?
- Comment on Would it be unnecessary or annoying if I put "boycott israel" post it note on a sodastream at Lidl? 2 weeks ago:
Not to dissuade you, but a complaint to head office might yield better results.
Best case with your plan: you put one post-it note on one sodastream, and you cost sodastream one sale.
A complaint to Lidl’s head office that them selling this kind of product makes you uncomfortable shopping there, and why, might make Lidl decide not to buy their products again. Which would cost them many more sales.
- Comment on When will gas stations start selling rotisserie chicken? 2 weeks ago:
Electrification’s pretty much a must given the state of the world, but veganism? You really think it’s gonna take off?
- Comment on When will gas stations start selling rotisserie chicken? 2 weeks ago:
To be fair, the supermarket I work at sells rotisserie chicken and probably wouldn’t exist in its current location if not for the people who stop for fuel.
- Comment on How do I drink more water? 2 weeks ago:
I have a filtered water bottle that I keep full. I just keep it handy. If I’m thirsty, it’s less hassle to take a drink from my bottle than to go to the kitchen/break room/café and get a different drink. When it’s empty, I’ll let myself grab a different drink IF I fill the bottle up too.
- Comment on Was discussing about Ubisoft and eventually made this 3 weeks ago:
What’s the centre square? I don’t recognise that one.
- Comment on I would write something extensive, but I don't wanna end up writing incoherent stuff, especially since I sometimes rely on AI to write stories for me. What should I do? 3 weeks ago:
The only way to be creative is to create. You simply cannot do that if you have an idiot box ghostwrite for you.
You will start out writing bad stories. That’s not only OK, it’s a vital part of the learning process. So, write bad stories, joyfully! Then ones that aren’t quite so bad!
- Comment on should the BBQ cover be put back on after every use ... or just once at the end of BBQ season 3 weeks ago:
…who’s cleaning the grill before it’s dried out?
- Comment on Amazon started hiding ratings for some products 3 weeks ago:
Here in the UK they’ll sometimes remove negative reviews as “off topic” anyway.
Reviews? Can’t trust 'em.
- Comment on should the BBQ cover be put back on after every use ... or just once at the end of BBQ season 3 weeks ago:
Especially if you live in a desert, unless you like sand-flavoured steaks!
- Comment on should the BBQ cover be put back on after every use ... or just once at the end of BBQ season 3 weeks ago:
After every use, as quickly as possible after cleaning, to protect it from the elements.

This is how I found out the game even existed.
Welp, yo ho yo ho.

- Comment on Why is Fallout New Vegas considered a very transy game? 3 weeks ago:
I think it’s a smidge more than liking, it’s more “claiming” or some such.
Me no word good on Wemsday.

Another thing to consider: learning a trade.
I don’t know what the trades are like in the USA but here in the UK, once you have a tradesperson you like and who does an above-average job, you go back to that same person until they retire.
It could be anything people need. Electrics or plumbing are high-skill trades and really well paid. Cleaning is a good low-skill trade, it’s hard work but it’s a job for life. Buy some tools, get good at it. Start with windows, they’re easy and basically everyone needs it, and all you need is a squeegee, a clean towel, and a bucket. Get a dedicated business phone number and email address. Print up some flyers with fixed prices (find out what other local businesses are charging and undercut them slightly until you get on your feet) and your business phone number on, and distribute them as far as your legs will carry you.
- Comment on Why do I almost never see people flying drones? 3 weeks ago:
Maybe confirmation bias plays at least some part here? If you’re exposed online to YouPotatoes who extensively use drones, you’re likely to think they’re more common than they actually are?
- Comment on did the Artemis crew really spend 10 days pooping in their diapers? 4 weeks ago:
Except no, they didn’t.
- Comment on How should a news article website financially sustain itself? 4 weeks ago:
By selling papers?
Worked for centuries.
- Comment on Do we know how much apps would cost if we had to replace as revenue with subscription fees? 4 weeks ago:
You asked how much it would cost to use. The existence of these smaller services proves that the answer can be as low as free, if someone wants a thing to exist and is willing to cover the cost of hosting it (which can be as low as buying a Raspberry Pi, assuming you already have internet).
- Comment on Which Pipes to choose (Newpipe, Pipepipe, Piped Invidious...etc)? 4 weeks ago:
That issue has been fixed. The dev has learned from their mistake and taken steps to ensure it doesn’t happen again. It’s fine now.
- Comment on Do we know how much apps would cost if we had to replace as revenue with subscription fees? 4 weeks ago:
We don’t have to talk in hypotheticals. Mastodon is free. Signal is free. Linux is free. The cost is zero. Yes they all get money from donations and from commercial contracts, but it’s absolutely possible to run services like these without squeezing every last pfennig out of every user.
- Comment on Which Pipes to choose (Newpipe, Pipepipe, Piped Invidious...etc)? 4 weeks ago:
I use SmartTube on my TV. It has a better TV UI imho.
- Comment on Which Pipes to choose (Newpipe, Pipepipe, Piped Invidious...etc)? 4 weeks ago:
I recommend Tubular. It has all the features of NewPipe plus quality of life improvements such as SponsorBlock.
- Comment on Distro for upgrading a 15 year old Mac? 4 weeks ago:
Kubuntu should run just fine. You could go for a low-spec distro such as Xubuntu but I think you’ll find it surprisingly capable.
You could also look into Puppy Linux which is specifically targeted at older machines but with a machine like that you should be absolutely fine.
Of course the best part is it’s free and there’s no commitment, just install one, see if you vibe with it, and if not try another :)
- Comment on How will you celebrate? 4 weeks ago:
Documents from bygone eras talk about a concept called “hope”. Sadly, knowledge of what that concept actually represented has been long lost to the mists of time.
