I don’t understand this sentiment. All states with death penalty are all equally pieces of smelly vile shit but Oklahoma, Alabama, and Mississippi slightly less smelly shits. IF you are insisting on putting someone to death than Nitrogen is the most humane, least likely to go wrong method.

weirdly enough the mobile site actually works better. You cannot purchase movies or TV shows in the prime video app OR the Amazon shopping app. You can only do it on the mobile website.

wait… How the hell did I miss that Bowie was on here??? Awesome!

I completely agree regarding AI being plastered on every piece of software tech. It is dumb and it makes people so much ND dumb and this is a hill I will absolutely die on.

Part of the reason people freak out is when somebody throws random stats out there:

GOLF COURSES USE 1 MILLION GALLONS OF WATER EVERY DAY. OMG!!!

What is neglected is the fact that in the USA just over 400 Billion gallons of water are used each day across all uses. Golf courses use a very tiny percentage in comparison. 0.0000025 id I did my math right.

Oh hell yeah. I came into the comments specifically to find this one.

I’ve got an Axolotl. Not sure where that falls on the spectrum of exotic pets.

They are pretty easy to get ahold of and apart from a chiller to keep the water at an appropriately cool temperature they are easy to take care of. That being said, every person that has come over to our place reacts with something along the lines of “WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING!”.

All I really need to do for it is top off the water every day or two and once a month or so replace 20% of the water with fresh water. It’s not even that critical to do that much water maintenance I just like to go for as clear water as possible.

Feeding is easy as well. Optimal feeding is once every 2-3 days but they can survive MUCH longer without food. Studies have shown up to 3 weeks is doable. This means if we are going to go on vacation for a week or a bit longer I just feed him once before we leave and then don’t worry about it.

I sold my 1985 Mercedes 500 SEL AMG and bought a 2007 Toyota Yaris Hatchback.

I ditched UBP for a Spigen case. It’s the only case I’ve found that has a low profile built in lens cover/shutter.

In a similar vein, Tweezerman tweezers. There is absolutely none better than those. Razor fine edge that I’m convinced could pluck an electron off an atom.

I had just sold a car and was flush with cash so before going to buy my new one I bought every single pillow I could find in every home goods store near me and several from online. I then spent the next month studiously comparing pillows to find the right one for me.

The final two came down to a $15 pillow and a $190 pillow.

After deciding all the other pillows got returned and then went and got my new car.

In things as subjective as a pillow high quality is rather Nebulous.

For something like a woodworking tool high quality often matters far more.

The worst life pro tip I’ve ever received? Listen to the experts, they have made it their job to know the best things and you can’t go wrong with what they say.

Or 85 posts a day by 3 different bots with one and only one commenter.

Oooo man, you almost ALMOST have tempted me back to reddit with that one. I somehow missed that subreddit and I feel a bit sadder for that.

Man, I miss r/cronch

It feels like goalpost moving has become a national past time for most places.

The thing I currently struggle with, but haven’t found an answer to, is deciding where the balance lies between affordable services and content creators earning an appropriate living.

I absolutely love Spotify. My current job has me listening to music for nearly 11 hours a day not including what gets played at home. Leaving aside the issue of discoverability, if I had to buy all the different albums I listen to from all the different artists I listen to my music budget would be a significant percentage of my yearly income.

I am keenly aware that Spotify does not pay the musicians well. The current compromise that I have is I buy albums or merch from the artists that I listen to the most or up and comings I want to support. Not perfect but it works right now.

Thank you for making it easy to know who to block. I hope one day you are willing to have open communication with people you disagree with.

No, but not being able to have a reasonable discussion with another person without them resorting to nonsense arguments of no merit or personal attacks does bother me.

I have made the personal choice that YouTube premium is a valuable service to me and that I would rather pay for it than go through the rigmarole of PiHole/ad blockers/ripping.

Apparently that makes me a sheep, retard, loser, bitch to corporations, boot licker, dick, uneducated, fuckwad. Just to name a few.

I believe downloading a digital copy of your property is 100% your right. ONLY after you have paid full price for it in a legal manner and if at all possible in physical media.

Apparently that means I’m a slave to the media, a Republican(?), don’t believe in personal rights, and am advocating for a return to absolute monarchy’s.

I believe that it is better to pay for services (even if they are created by mega corporations) and give money directly to the content creators whenever possible. Disney/Marvel, for instance, is massive and has many issues. That doesn’t mean that they didn’t create things that never existed before and deserve to be paid.

Apparently I’m no better than a terrorist against human rights, have no decency, must have had brain damage, and am begging to be ass raped by the elite just to be told I’m a good little consumer.

I believe that the definition of a hypocrite is somebody spouting their beliefs that all ads are evil, mega - corporations deserve to die, and that no content service deserves their money and then also screaming about work reform, and not getting paid a fair living wage, all jobs matter, etc.

Apparently this makes me a proponent for being a wage slave, a blinded consumerist, a white collar elitist who was raised to keep the people down, and a politician dick/cunt sucker, and a worshiper of alphabet, apple, Facebook, twitter and the like.

I loathe what reddit became but the general level of discourse was far more reasonable and measured then what I have experienced here on Lemmy. It’s actually frustrating. What happened to being able to disagree with someone and talk about it in measured responses and open discourse?

If they are speaking about heat pumps then they are technically correct. A heat pump uses energy to move heat from one location to another instead of converting heat from form to form. It’s the conversion that causes inefficiency.

I’m not nearly smart enough to properly explain the physics of it but there are plenty of articles and YouTube videos available if you want to go down that rabbit hole.

This was a solid case of “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” the thermostat and heating system in question was from the 60’s or 70’s and had served us with no issues for as long as we had been there. Hindsight 20/20 and all that jazz.
