I really like their waffles, but this place has felt like such a cluster of a business every time I’ve gone. This doesn’t surprise me at all.

I can’t wait for solar prices to take a bigger bite out of power production. I’d like to put some on my roof and convert to a heat pump, but I’m going to hold off another decade or so and see how cheap and efficient then can get.

I haven’t done any Signal app recruiting in my circle of contacts (in fact, I don’t think I’ve talked to anyone about it) and I have 14 contacts that have it installed at the very least. I don’t think it would be a huge push to make Signal more prevalent.

The uphill battle is making a dent in iMessage adoption, which seems to be deeper and deeper entrenched every day.

The research does not include finding out what happens to people after the year is up and the cash payments stop, though that is a concern for project organizers (…)

No shit, you don't say.

Looking forward to the “reeeeee” from folks who will somehow equate this to think that the gubment is coming for their precious water heater

I always thought their bikes were neat (going back way before they made e-bikes) but going to have to agree with another poster - I never met a single owner who wasn’t a self absorbed muppet.

Buzz is a loon and the three watch thing is madness. What a goober.

This changed a while back. I think you basically have the gist of it - no hard alcohol, no glass.

MUSHROOM MUSHROOM

It’s a valid question - there is a guy near me who does all electric lawn care - he’s got a pickup with a bunch of solar panels in the back but I can’t imagine he’s getting a whole lot of charging between jobs, even parked in full sun on a pleasant day.

Hoffman seems to be pretty approving and I’d follow that guy off a cliff.

I don’t love browsing by all - I love the variety in content but people aren’t marking things NSFW and I don’t love the surprises 😬

I’ve arrived at the same conclusion re: fractions of a penny front-running.

I have the same dell form factor - 3060. Love it.

There’s a certain subset of consumers for whom price is the most important deciding factor in where and what to buy. No surprise - an assembly line shoveling Sysco is priced pretty competitively.

DoorDash, Uber Eats and all their ilk are awf for other reasons anyways. If you want pizza, call the pizza place directly.

Someone put it to me like this once -

You’re going to turn 30. Would you rather be 30 and educated or just 30?

For whatever reason, that stuck with me.

I have in the past, yes. Reputable hosts and cloud providers tend to take them seriously in my experience.

I used a self-hosted Nextcloud for a while. It was pretty close to a Google drive stand in. I believe it had similar browser playback for videos

Kind of a chicken or an egg problem - we need content to attract the people, the people are attracted to content.

I think there are a lot of people cross-posting stuff to generate traffic and discussion
