I don't know what they are but I don't want them

That's a really long prompt just to have it roll a d2

They were kinda handy to have around tbh. Like, tissue in my backpack during allergy season, or in my car. I think we used them as tp on a camping trip.

At home, we only used them until the usual tp rolls came back into supply.

They came in a pretty big package so we had them around for a couple years, but I think they're all gone now... So, yeah we used them, maybe not as intended and maybe not favorably, but they saved my ass in 2020, literally!

I got a box of these from Amazon in 2020. (In USA)

I'm obviously out of my element, but I hope he's right on this. In my understanding F-16s are new to Ukraine, and I have to imagine there are going to be integration problems. Firing someone who was front and center at experiencing and ideally learning from such a problem seems risky.

That slippery mf in trouble? I'll believe it when I see it.

The main thing is technical nuances, and a never ending list of them.

But you could start with something like lynx or elinks, but at that point you may as well just use lynx or elinks.

Firefox works great.

You wield the power. Wield it well.

I can't speak to your experience but I've been farting around on the Internet since the mid 90s and I promise nothing ever changes.

Smaller communities tend to be more concise, that is true.

But what you have here is the hand you're dealt. Complaining isn't going to change anything any more thank joking. You can be the change you seek here by suggesting a course of action that isn't asking others to suggest a course of action to you. If you're seeking a course of action, you can try asking here.

But commenters on tech news aren't likely to be expert activists, especially in whatever issue is your top concern.

My best advice to you is

  • practice acceptance of reality, not as defeat but as the first step to understanding and deciding an action

  • determine how much capacity you, as a person, have to contribute to a cause

  • determine one cause you care about and can be effective at contributing to

After doing those things, SEEK OUT like minded groups who have leadership and self discipline and are effective.

Let me reframe my previous comment:

If you don't want to network in person locally, you will need to find a forum whose sole purpose is activism and direct action.

It will not be brought to you, and you will not be recruited. You have to actively go seek it out.

The forum you're on now is called "technology". Similar ones, like "news" or literally any other topic that doesn't solely focus on mobilizing activists will not get you what you're asking for here.

 

I am curious about podcasts with high quality content but that are pretty centered around specific topics like hobbies or particular professions.

For example, there are a handful of ham radio podcasts such as Linux In The Ham Shack.

Tell me about some podcasts that keep you up in your interests or career that wouldn't make sense to share with most people you know.

 
 

I am currently redesigning my kitchen in a 1930's Midwestern USA house. The kitchen has a decent floor area but the floor plan is oddly restrictive.

My space next to the sink is such that I can either have a standard 24" dishwasher next to the sink and a slightly weird cabinet adjacent to it, or I could have an 18 inch dishwasher at 45 degrees flanked by two small but reasonably sized cabinet doors (or drawers), although the 45 degree plan would dictate a somewhat shallow custom counter depth on the flanks (like 18-20 inches).

I think I would be more proud of the accomplishment of building the angled design, and I think the ergonomics would be optimal.

But I'm not sure about the smaller dishwasher. I have never used a smaller one. It seems like it would be enough for my small family and still plenty helpful for gatherings.

 

And if you somehow disagree with flushing it down if it is brown, I suppose I would like to hear about that as well.

 

How often do you clean them, and how? Any cautionary tales?
