- Comment on should the BBQ cover be put back on after every use ... or just once at the end of BBQ season 3 hours ago:
…who’s cleaning the grill before it’s dried out?
- Comment on Amazon started hiding ratings for some products 3 hours ago:
Here in the UK they’ll sometimes remove negative reviews as “off topic” anyway.
Reviews? Can’t trust 'em.

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 hours 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 days ago:
I think it’s a smidge more than liking, it’s more “claiming” or some such.
Me no word good on Wemsday.

- Comment on How do I actually find a job that isn't retail? 4 days ago:
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? 5 days 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? 6 days ago:
Except no, they didn’t.
- Comment on How should a news article website financially sustain itself? 1 week 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? 1 week 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)? 1 week 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? 1 week 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)? 1 week 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)? 1 week 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? 1 week 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? 1 week 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.
- Comment on Is it normal to "like" or at least not care seeing people suffer? 1 week ago:
The answer doesn’t change just because you reposted the same damn question.
- Comment on Is it the American way to complain about the US, or is it that other countries aren't worth complaining about? 1 week ago:
Come to England, we complain all the damn time
- Comment on is it normal for parents to act nice one minute and rude the next? 1 week ago:
No. This is abuse. If I were in your situation I’d get away from him and cut off contact.
- Comment on How do you feel about a 25 year old dating a 46 year old? 2 weeks ago:
None of my business, they’re consenting adults, they can do whatever the want, and it’s honestly a bit creepy that you’re asking our opinion about it.
- Comment on Is Kagi Worth It? 2 weeks ago:
Quite what?
- Comment on It hurts. 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, pedestrians aren’t really a consideration in this kind of town planning.
If they were, they would’ve put in sidewalks. Which they didn’t.
Can’t really have it both ways.
- Comment on GitHub Copilot edited an ad into a PR 2 weeks ago:
Why would they summon Copilot to correct a typo? Why not just… correct the typo?
- Comment on Is the "Gen z stare" a real thing? 2 weeks ago:
Nah, it’s “old man yells at cloud”. Blank face is a long standing tradition in the retail and service industries. Ignore 'em and keep being yourself.
- Comment on Does importing goods from abroad alone really void sales tax? 3 weeks ago:
The only way to do it tax and duty free would be to go to Akihabara yourself, buy the goodies in person (paying sales tax), and get a receipt. Then submit the receipt to the relevant tax authority to get your sales tax reimbursed (there are companies that will help you with this for a fee). Then you take the goodies back with you in checked baggage and hope you’re under the personal limit for importing goods, otherwise they’ll hit you with the import duty anyway.
- Comment on Is school cafeteria food in America trash? 3 weeks ago:
This is a false equivalence. The same company providing food for two different markets might be providing two different menus. Like a cake company which makes different cakes, and also some bread products, maybe some biscuits… you wouldn’t open a box of biscuits and find a cake inside. Except maybe Jaffa Cakes. What was I saying again?
Oh yeah, faulty logic, but it wouldn’t surprise me if there were some mix-and-matching going on. Capitalism gotta capitalise.
