This post is so meta.
- Comment on I like this text. In which Lemmy community can I best share it ? Thanks. 2 weeks ago:
A fair point. However, reading the OP back, it seems to me that they aren’t dismissing “forever” as success. They are only stating that its not the only acceptable definition of it.
The way i see it, some things that require never-ending commitment to be deemed a success and others don’t, but that’s not how society sees it in general.
I think messages like the one in the post are a good thing to read and think about how they apply to your own life.

- Comment on Why are SMS messages so expensive? 2 weeks ago:
They aren’t the cost was arbitrarily chosen 30 odd years ago and hasnt changed in all that time despite there being several free alternatives. Data usage doesnt cost what they charge either. Its all a scam.

- Comment on Beavis and Butt-Head - SNL 3 weeks ago:
That was pretty funny.
I dont watch alot of snl stuff. Always find the humour to be a bit silly but its spawned a great many films that i love.
Waynes world is a great example.
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 4 weeks ago:
If you owned a cup measure you might have some idea.
If a recipe calls for 8 cups of flour you will need a bigger baking tin.
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 4 weeks ago:
Just buy cup and spoon measures. It simplifies the whole process. You already own metric measures so whats the difference.
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 4 weeks ago:
I would guess use the ones that are sized like most other cups. Like standard mug sized. Although i think its all relative. If you use a certain cup to measure flour, use the same cup to measure sugar.

I guess if you werent savvy enough tondonit you could follow a guide. My dad does alot of tech stuff by following guides but if it ever goes wrong he cant fix it becaise he doesnt know what he did, he just follows the steps.
I have to fix it instead.

Dumb argument, its all relative.
Of course there are people who have it worse. But that doesnt invalidate the frustrations of people who dont. A 1st world problem isnt less valid than a third world poblem.
In the 1st world, you often need a reliable internet connection to do almost everything. From ordering food to applying for a job. Even some work is only offered remotely and therefore it is a requirement.
If you dont have the internet in a 1st world country you will fall behind and lokely end up poor and struggling.
In some third world countires, assume these same issues sont exist.

I dunno, 3 megabits works out to about 0.375 megabytes per second. So its slow.
That seems like a limiter has been applied. Probably on the router. I dont think there are internet providers out there still offering adsl speeds like this. You would need around 5Mbps to watch HD on netflix.
Might be worth finding the actual router and getting the log in details from the sticker on the bottom/back and logging in to see if you can disable it.

I watched a sunkey video for it, indont think there is any dialogue from will smiths character. Like they didnt bother to record it. There was one or two instances where he spoke, and it wasn’t will smith.
- Comment on When a cave has better wifi than I do 1 month ago:
Hey, fair enough, dont really heckle comedians. Its their show, unless its something they actively seek in their audience, i wouldn’t think about it.
I didnt mean to over analyse the joke, i just asked a question about the synonimity of WiFi and mobile data and was challenged on the intent behind the use of the word WiFi, so i responded with my take on what was intended. It wasn’t to ruin the joke. It was to validate my question about the use of WiFi when i believe they meant mobile data.
Frankly you are the one who made it about ruining the joke.
- Comment on When a cave has better wifi than I do 1 month ago:
Well, it wasn’t the best joke to begin with. I doubt anyone gave it more than a …ha… when they read it.
Do you?
Did you?
- Comment on When a cave has better wifi than I do 1 month ago:
Well, that sort of highlights my issue, and why i assume they meant mobile data. If they are, in the joke, connected to WiFi, then they wouldn’t be suprised by the signal strength. Because they are near a router and therfore the signal is good enough to use. You aren’t typically able to connect to WiFi if the signal is below -70 -80 decibels.
I think its fairly clear that they meant mobile data as this is something you would be surprised to still have if yoy were lost in a cave.
Not that i wpuldnt be suprised to find WiFi down there, just that i wouldnt be suprised by the strengrg of the WiFi signal if i was stood close enough to a router to see the SSID.
- Comment on When a cave has better wifi than I do 1 month ago:
Is it now the norm to make the term WiFi synonymous with the term cellular/mobile data (or 4g/5g)
They are not the same thing.
Is this like when people call tablets ipads? Or call vacuums hoovers/dysons.

Here’s the comment I was looking for! I was going to suggest this might be the issue (total guess) but inmade sense whennibsaw its the standard size of other blister packs you get.
I also heard that the reason heinz tins dont stack well whilst other brands do is because of how expensive it wpuld be to replace the machines (or parts of the machines) that make the can lids and bases.
So it was a fair assumption that its basically the same problem here.
Especially when you consider that its probably very few people that need just 1 of a certain pill. Thisnis likely a supply issue with this medication in the multi blister packs so they gave 20 singles.

Tbh, I’m not sure about this particular animal. This is a three clawed worm skink. A skink is like a cross between a snake and a gecko.and normally, they have longer, more obvious legs. Some only have front legs and some look more like geckos.
