You’re absolutely right!

Costco is especially infuriating because they do not tolerate anything on the platform before you can start. You also cannot remove anything from the platform before you’ve paid and everything… So you can’t pack as you go, making everything slower and more stressful for everyone. If you even attempt to, the goddamn thing locks up and the clerk has to unlock it for you.

Maybe, I know Teslas are a bit power-hungry when parked.

My wife had to try charging on a 120V outlet last winter. The plug couldn’t even keep up with the battery heating requirements to actually start charging; the battery percentage was going DOWN while plugged in. It was -25°C outside though, so it’s a specific situation, but it’s actually why she had to try to charge; it’s a trip we can easily do without charging in the summer.

It’s also frozen at some point which does kill most of the bacteria

Then, nobody says “megagram” - it’s “ton”. So there are quirks to remember.

We absolutely should, though… That and megameters, for car mileage. We always round off to the nearest thousand kilometer anyway.

Well something about 200 kms away will take 2 hours to get there on the highway going 100 km/h…

It’s not as neat as 1 mile = 1 minute at 60mph, but it’s still pretty easy to do the mental math.

Like 115 grams. A pound is 454g, a quarter of that is 113.5g, which would probably be rounded up.

Usually it’s the same price

Notable exception to this would be the Spigen phone case I recently bought. It’s 20.99 on Amazon, but 39.99 on Spigen’s website.

It’s true for a lot of other things, though, Amazon especially here in Canada hasn’t been the cheapest place to buy stuff in quite some time.

It’d probably come in handy if you started sports shooting. I do Olympic-style air pistol shooting, and part of what I’m currently training on is focusing my eye on the forward sight, not the target.

Story time. A couple years ago, we were sailing off the US east coast around South Carolina, and as you do in that situation, we were trailing a fishing line behind the boat in hopes of catching something. Suddenly, we were surrounded by dolphins giving us a show, jumping in the waves, playing around the bow, all that jazz. The kids were delighted, we were taking pictures and videos and generally enjoying ourselves when we noticed some splashing a little distance behind the boat. We pulled up the fishing line only to find that the lure and tackle were missing. Looks like the sneaky fuckers were distracting us while they stole our dinner!

Saw them last year with Kamelot, it was an amazing show. I didn’t know them before but I’m a fan now!

Running a bunch of services here on a i3 PC I built for my wife back in 2010. I’ve since upgraded the RAM to 16GB, added as many hard drives as there are SATA ports on the mobo, re-bedded the heatsink, etc.

It’s pretty much always ran on Debian, but all services are on Docker these days so the base distro doesn’t matter as much as it used to.

I’d like to get a good backup solution going for it so I can actually use it for important data, but realistically I’m probably just going to replace it with a NAS at some point.

I’m not a Java dev, but I know enough of it to fix simple bugs in the backends I work with. My main issue with it is that 99% of the code doesn’t seem to do anything. The clear, obvious place that looks like it handles the feature you’re looking for? None of it does anything! It just instantiates another class from God knows where to actually do the work. I swear I spend most of my time in Java projects just looking for the damn implementation in a sea of AbstractSingletonFactoryBean shit.

Israel & Gaza are litterally on the other side of the world, on a different continent. Don’t they teach you geography in school?

That’s not US politics. And the rule is temporary; the goal is just to get a breather after a months-long marathon of hearing about nothing else on Lemmy.

I’m not from the US and my Lemmy feed has been absolutely FLOODED with US political news for MONTHS. Yesterday’s vote was the bushel that broke the camel’s back, and I definitely understand non-political communities not wanting to be even more flooded with US politics than they already are.

Go complain about your broken country in politics-oriented communities, please, and let us talk about other, less despair-inducing subjects.

My grandmother used to have one. I never realized how it worked before that video, but I was always fascinated by the fact that the bread would lower itself

I’ve always wondered if vegetables from a farm that uses horse-drawn tills instead of tractors would be vegan… It’s a real question, but everyone I ask thinks that I’m trolling.

You might be right, but our southern neighbours also have a Senate and it doesn’t seem to help…
