What about that slow paced pass Sargent got over Zho‽

They should add a rule that a red flag doesn’t count as a tire change for the purposes of fulfilling the “you must change tires at least once during a race” rule

Same experience with a regular doctor. It’s been 20 years and hasn’t been a problem since.

Yeah I watched the doc do mine, just one side of one big toe though

The whole time, all I could think was “holy shit that looks like it would hurt if I weren’t numbed up”

Yeah I borrowed a bunch of hand and power tools from the Oakland public library when I lived there in the 2010s. They also had a shit ton of video games

Yeah if I see a “used once” tool on Craigslist, I’m not paying 95% of retail for it

Housing was too expensive and we wanted to move back east closer to family. Most of our Oakland friends took a similar path between ‘18 and ‘22

The only time google gets me better results than DDG now is if I have a really vague question, like “movie where the guy wears a trash bag on his leg and has a piña colada on the train to Milwaukee”

Those ones are my favorite

The Niagra brand peanut butter cups are my crack. Probably the most expensive ones in the supermarket, but I shouldn’t be eating too many anyway

Yeah most standard American chocolate is waxy and tasteless

What would it take for you to stop using the internet or go minimalist on the usage?

I think for me, the internet would have to be totally eclipsed by the enshittification process, for me to revise how I use it and what for. I’ve been online for 28 years now and I am beginning to slow down more and more as time goes on. I used to have been a community seeker, an explorer and a very curious person....

Nah you just call your accountant and have them do it. You got jet skis to ride.

I have a Toshiba microwave from like 5 years ago. I hold down the 8 button, it beeps to confirm, and then no more beeps. Works great

'Vortex Cannon vs Drone' - Mark Rober shows off tech from a "defense technology company that specializes in advanced autonomous systems". That seems bad

I’ve enjoyed Mark Rober’s videos for a while now. They are fun, touch on accessible topics, and have decent production value. But this recent video isn’t sitting right with me...

It’s just the book and verse number on screen, like “Psalms 3:10” or whatever. Along with a graphic of a mouse(?) in a hat.

Usually in the last 10 seconds or so of the video IIRC

Yeah, for a lot of movies. But I have a pretty good 5.1 setup, and with plenty of movies I still need the subtitles to understand what they’re saying. Nolan’s movies come to mind, but they’re not alone.

@smort@lemmy.world avatar

It is, most of the time. Sometimes it’s still too low or muddled

lol yeah, in the 90s you could go in there and buy a couple resistors, a couple capacitors, and a couple (expensive, crappy) LEDs

I can see how that didn’t work out for them though

Just a note on the tax part:

Consequently, while all Puerto Rico residents pay federal taxes, many residents are not required to pay federal income taxes. Aside from income tax, U.S. federal taxes include customs taxes,[1] federal commodity taxes, and federal payroll taxes (Social Security, Medicare, and Unemployment taxes).

There could be some purple states where the stars align and this passes, but yeah, at least a generation, probably more

I don’t know about Netflix, but last time I tried, YouTube TV let you stream from not your “home” for like a week at a time

I’ve got the same song lyric thing, and a pretty decent 5.1 setup.

It’s the modern sound mixing. When I watch a movie from the 90s or early 2000s using the same system, the dialogue is generally clearer

You can use “extensions” for Safari, and there are at least a couple ad blocking extensions. I use Purify, and it works pretty well at blocking ads

It’s just a reminder that we’re not so far away from the people we care about

What’s a little thing you find romantic?
