I looked into it but damn that would be a lot of trouble so that I can dry off after a shower with 20 washcloths. Supposedly they don’t do well with hard water and water softener systems involve buying huge bags of salt to burn through every month.
pls im already using all the hot water in the tank and I can’t legally get a bigger one
Also I’d be cold and I don’t want to
What is the solution? It seems like inflatable tubes would be difficult or impossible to make without access to equipment or materials. Supposedly they do sell foam inserts that can be used instead of inflated tubes, but I got the impression from the reviews that they are basically unusable, and those might also be unavailable. I guess wheels before tires used to be wooden, but biking on wooden wheels sounds like it wouldn’t work very well.
This comment reminded me I needed to re-lubricate my bike chain, which I hadn’t done for something like 7 years, so I did that and took it for a spin. Got rid of the squeaking, noticeably smoother and easier pedaling, but a relatively minor difference.
But yeah, if you can’t get replacement tubes, that’s a different story, I have to replace those once or twice a year or the bike is not going anywhere.
Browsing Lemmy by only what you have subscribed to is not as viable as on Reddit because there is generally less content per community.
Someone’s gotta stay behind to tell people to check out Lemmy
Drugs people use illegally have overlap with drugs prescribed as medicine, like amphetamines for adhd and opioids for pain management. Who gets to decide what is healthcare on behalf of the individual? Doctors, parents, governments, insurance companies? There is a lot of room between them to get it wrong. In all of these cases authorities are claiming to be protecting people from making what they say is the wrong choice. Of course it is in some cases, and parents probably should be pressuring their children not to take dangerous drugs, especially for reasons that are not healthcare. But if there are authorities that deny that something is healthcare, and that’s contested, “my body, my choice” is a slogan that implies it should be the individual that decides.
Would the default instance be run by the app dev? Or in collaboration with some instance? It would maybe be risky to do with an unaffiliated instance because if they didn’t like it they could disallow these types of accounts or signups.
The idea of a “documentation moat” seems really gross to me. Like you’re going to make it more difficult on purpose for people to interact with your software, unless they pay?
And either way, eventually someone from the city would probably show up to ask why you’re using 40 tons of water every day.
lol
Assuming you are in the US, your wife’s fears are totally baseless because lawsuits against people for consumer level piracy pretty much have not been happening at all since like 2010 (with the exception of porn video piracy copyright trolls, which still doesn’t happen that much and maybe your wife would be unhappy with regardless). Even when they were, due to industry group backed lawsuit campaigns, it’s civil law not criminal so nobody went to prison, and the few people who actually got stuck with massive fines eventually just declared bankruptcy to get out of paying them.
This is because said industry groups switched to trying to enforce copyright via ISP, getting ISPs to voluntarily forward people threatening letters, which are mostly empty threats with no associated legal action, so the ISPs are getting sued to try to obligate them to cut off people’s internet access. They want a way of doing it where they don’t have to take consumer level pirates to court, I’d guess because it looks really bad for them and is terrible PR to have regular people who obviously don’t deserve punishment sued for huge amounts of money because they torrented some media.
You are totally safe if you have a VPN and bind it to your torrent client (which prevents torrents from working if the VPN is off or drops connection), but even if you get such emails from your ISP (I got a few myself) likely nothing will happen for now.
Yeah but I sympathize, the way money rules your life and how you’re allowed to live it is brutal and it’s only natural to dream of overcoming that through financial success.
clapping with both hands works too
Things like subscriptions don’t seem like they should take up too much space, so it seems like a flaw that there isn’t more redundancy
I think most of that is just because it’s really tricky to get right though and there’s a lot of medical complications, not because it’s impossible for philosophical reasons.
For the money ones, I think it works because there are many people who just really want to feel some hope financially
If Mastodon is federated, why isn’t this recoverable somehow? I thought federation involved making copies of content on other servers, does that just not happen often enough for it to work as a backup?
What features would people expect/want such software to have?
