Yeah, but you get the hacks first. Unlike having to watch 3 episodes of always sunny before you can leave with your dime bag of seeds and stems. ;)

My partner is a teacher and we spend around $200 a month just on snacks for their classroom (snacks have to be individually packaged, and there’s 36 kids per class, so that’s 72 snacks a day, Because the kids have a morning snack and an afternoon snack.) Even with donors, choose PTA and other groups. We just know that there’s a certain amount of our income each month that’s going to go too supporting her classroom. It sucks but we have accepted it, because by us not doing that the kids are just going to suffer.

There’s a really cool episode of the podcast Factually touching on what you’re talking about.

(Side note, I’ve never seen this website but I really dig that it has question and answer summaries on the bottom. That was super cool.)

Edit: also, as somebody who is disabled who can’t lean forward without intense pain, these wheelchairs would be hell.

To add to your metaphor. The grocery store has also collected enough data on you to know exactly how much you’d be willing to pay for eggs versus how much your neighbor would be willing to pay for eggs. So they show you and your neighbor two different egg prices when you get to the cooler.

Yeah I have 12 and a half hours in the game and most of that has been staring at a black screen. Waiting to see if it’ll load

Cardiac support and ICD support. Those were two ones that I really found valuable after heart surgery and getting a pacemaker that exists on Reddit but I have not been able to find anywhere else. kind of lost a really important support structure to me when I left reddit. I know I could start one here but I’m just not the kind of person who is good at getting people to know about something that’s available.

I just bought this and installed it and was going to play it after the kiddo went to bed. I’m a little bit worried that it’s not going to be something I’m interested in.p

To add, the podcast is phenomenal. Definitely worth listening to as well

Similar to the person who commented below. I live in a very rural area so it would be 10 bucks in gas just to drive to the closest Target to buy a pack of pens that I need for work the next day. And I know that I could just swing by on my way home from work and pick them up, but then it becomes a time thing. I mean my entire plan is to ditch Amazon prime after my current subscription expires. But man, there are some interesting things that have just become normalized with the convenience of getting things mailed to me that I’m totally going to miss. But fuck bezos

I’ll just be over here sobbing in Absolvers empty arenas. I really enjoyed that game. And then it just died.

That was awesome to learn. Thank you.

To be fair, if somebody starts streaming without their skin on I’m going to nope the fuck out really quick.

In December 2022 I realized I skipped seeing my cardiologist for 6 years. Did a 24 hour monitor. Apparently my heart rate was dropping to 21 bpm and stopping pumping for up to three seconds. So in February 2023 they cut me open and give me a pacemaker. Months go on and I am still getting winded. So they did another heart Cath procedure (on the 28th) and it turns out my heart is doing worse than thought even, so in the next 3-5 years I’ll need a heart transplant. But the make up of my organ layout means I’ll need a specialist, which just all sounds so slim. I am 33 and so fucking tired.

I hope to leave some of this stress behind. I know there’s a lot I can’t escape now, but I hope I can leave some of the anger and fear behind. It’s been hard to be a good dad or partner this year just from feeling so stressed, and if I don’t know how long we will have I just want my daughter to remember a happier dad.

Interesting. Did this glitch or did you reply to the wrong thread?

That sounds dope. I’m putting that on my Kindle right now

Edit: actually I’m having trouble finding it, The book that’s coming up doesn’t sound like it. And the other one that is coming up is a romance about hockey. Do you happen to know the author?

Edit #2: I think I found it, " the light of other days" by Arthur c. Clarke sounds like it might be the book you were talking about.

Oh man, I remember the titty tattoo. 12-year-old me had to check my health like every 3 seconds.

My brother is literally part of Facebook groups just for arguing politics. It’s like a drug addiction to him. It seems like such a weird use of energy and time. I like being on the fediverse because I feel like I have more genuine actual conversations. And not arguments.

I can’t find the YouTube video I watched a long time ago. But I found an instructable that has the process. https://www.instructables.com/Make-Your-Own-Biodiesel-Processor/

I don’t have any of the sources on hand. But I fell down a YouTube rabbit hole a while back on how to convert a hot water heater into a biofuel generator. It is surprisingly and stupidly easy

I am over on kbin.social and upvotes and downvotes don’t carry over instances, but on my end there are no downvotes at all in this whole thread. I am just stoned and thought that was interesting.
