You arent kidding. I’ve been trying to justify spending $275 on some Super Red Ember Bees or “settle” for $150 on six Blonde Rubber Ducky isopods.

I have absolutely no idea how he kept his feet on that board during the slide under the wall. Actually amazing.

This diagram is only missing that one super speed zone into another dimensions high speed internet that is hidden up in the attic during the season just before Christmas as you dig through your stored belongings and wonder why you have so many dumb yard inflatables.

I’ll be paying and having no second thoughts about it.
I know you all LOVE to scream “shiver me timbers” at the drop of a hat but for me it’s just to much hassle. At the end of a long day at work I don’t want to have to figure out if my torrents are properly managed or use potentially questionable websites.
What I want to do is come home, press the microphone button on my shield remote, tell it what I want to watch and let it go. No hassle, no fuss, I don’t care about anything so incredibly much that if it suddenly wasn’t available then I NEED to have it at any cost. To me that kind of “have to have it right now and at all times forever and ever” mentality is just as bad as the rampant blind consumerism that the majority of humanity seems to embrace. If I want something that bad I’ll find a way to purchase it physically.

I just left a job that paid $50/hr for one that pays $17/hr and I’ve never been happier. If the work conditions suck the money just isn’t worth it.

It happens every single time I ever search for anything on Amazon in the US. I have to search through pages and pages of shit knockoff items with fake reviews from other product listing created by “brands” with names that look like a cat walked across the keyboard.
Most the time the items are unrelated to what I’m actually looking for and are only showing up because their titles are “CIGNHKA Road Bike saddle seat chair seat comfort adjustment bike seat mountain seat, gravel, ideal, perfect use universal, black.” And then the description has even more word salad.
If you bother taking the time you can find 17 other brands selling the same identical item with the same markings and the same specs (sometimes with the same reviews) with the only change being the name on the product.
If I didn’t live in a very rural area that Amazon somehow still covers with their free shipping I would never shop their. I only shop on Amazon when I can find a specific item from a specific well known brand.

I had a captcha that had you click to place a single dot at the end of a line. They get weird sometimes.

Oh man, I am absolutely in love with the books. I’ve even had conversations regarding whether or not this would be a good book to adapt to a movie. The general consensus is that this one is best left as a book.
- Comment on Weird 🤔 1 year ago:
Curious, I’ve seen it all over lemmy. I’ve got a couple different accounts for… reasons, and on one I tried to make the point that for some demographics, like my parents/grandparents, Windows is the best OS. I was immediately berated for MANY reasons including, being a failure for not educating my family, not caring about my family’s safety, personally signing them up for the FasTrack to identity theft and scammers, and that Linux is ACTuaLLY simpler and easier to use.
This is pretty tame compared to the piracy guys as well.

Here’s something that you might find annoying:
According to the EPA 61 FR 3832 - Prohibition on Gasoline Containing Lead or Lead Additives for Highway Use
EPA has historically defined unleaded gasoline as gasoline that is produced without the use of any lead additive and that contains no more than 0.05 gram of lead per gallon.\3\ EPA interprets section 211(n) this way for the following reasons.
\3\ The regulatory definition of ``unleaded gasoline'' alsocontains a cap on the amount of phosphorus, see 40 CFR 80.2(g), but the phosphorus cap is not relevant to the discussion of section
211(n). Unleaded gasoline that was produced without lead additives may pickup trace amounts of lead as it passes through refinery and transport systems that had previously contained leaded gasoline.
This is the same limit Formula 1 has for its fuels. Formula 1 fuel is unleaded fuel.

The fuel used in F1 cars is fairly similar to ordinary (premium) petrol, albeit with a far more tightly controlled mix. Formula One fuel would fall under high octane premium road fuel with octane thresholds of 95 to 102. Since the 1992 season onwards all Formula One cars must mandatorily utilize unleaded racing gasoline fuel.

Some artists use numbers in their names and adding numbers will change what the search returns sometimes with odd results.

It’s personally a catch 22 for me.
I listen to an absolutely absurd amounts of different artists. A large portion of them simply don’t have albums available for purchase and if they did… I would actually go broke buying all the stuff I listen to.
Every single day I type in a Combo of 2 random letters and numbers into spotify and listen to the first artist I don’t recognize.
It really sucks that Spotify doesn’t pay the artists anything reasonable but I haven’t found an alternative that allows me to consume as much different music as I currently do.
This isn’t even including the podcasts and audio books into the equation.
