Thanks!

Panasonic, Genius Prestige.

That’s actually super cool! (Admittedly, one of my favourite youtube channels is practical engineering so I am not an authority on actual coolness.)

Honestly, carefully looking on marketplace, being willing to travel to the bougie end of town got me a high end microwave for cheapish and I’m never ever going back.

Sensor reheat, just heats my damn food. Frozen food setting, hell yeah, all thawed perfectly.

The rich live better and I’m fine enjoying their leavings.

Related story, basically the hardest I laughed during covid.

Being a good Vancouverite, when those convoy fucks wanted to parade around and honk at hospitals, hundreds or thousands of us with bikes got in their way and kept them away from the hospitals.

Okay, so we’re blocking an arterial and some convoy fuck is screaming at us about how, in his words, “we’ve got to protest smarter.” He then finally realizes we have been politely letting non convoy cars through the lane next to him, so floors the accelerator and aims for that lane. But, he didn’t shoulder check and slammed right into a car in that lane in front of a cop. So for the next however long we got to point and laugh while advising him about the merits of shoulder checking and how he needed to drive smarter.

Gotta love when an asshole causes a 100% fault car crash with no injuries.

Cheese grater.

Stabilizing might not be quite the right word I’m looking for. But for example, trying to connect a new wifi card etc. Or when one program updates but this causes instability and you have to undo the update. Even from the handful of linux wizards I know, their battle stories with updates or new configurations are enough to terrify someone.

I think you’re missing the point a bit.

Both BuyCanadian and BuyEuropean are about supporting their respective economies as they are boycotting America’s.

For Canada, we’re looking at a recession (brought on by our “ally”) so people are trying to help fellow Canadians out as things get rough and people lose jobs.

While I support FOSS and recommend them in threads etc I fully understand why they don’t meet all the goals of those movements. (That being said, I think one of the most rocking counter punches would be EU investment in stabilizing Linux enough to make it a feasible alternative to Windows/Apple for casual and corporate users, solid shot to 2 of the magnificent 7.)

What an interesting pair of choices; “I’m going to look into a month old asklemmy thread to be kind of dick.”

You must be a fascinating person with a thriving social life.

Cheers.

I certainly think so! Though admittedly, I, like many Canadians, am feeling all extra patriotic given America’s threats and bullshit.)

Canadian here, my province asks that everyone get their yearly flu and covid vaccines, both of which are available for free in any pharmacy.

Naw, you’re confusing or conflating hate speech with disagreement.

They are very different things. And to some extent, I get it, just like the trump bubble, things are easier when you are safely coccooned away from anything that challenges the narrative. I just don’t have much respect for it from either side.

Jesus, I thought people were joking or exaggerating but here you are…

I guess I can’t ask you if you’re just trolling to make the hard Left seem crazy, silly and generally unpleasant…

If your idols are youtubers and tiktokkers, their business model is selling merch.

So opinions had to change.

Nuh uh, idiot!

Interesting, I’ll keep those in mind, thanks!

I just find that over time the ones I use for my phone get trickier and require more jiggling around to charge at max speed instead of glacial pace.

From reading the responses though, I think I may just be too hard on my cables I guess. (Also my cat loves attacking them but I’m pretty good about keeping them away from her.)

Ha, totally fair. Right angle connector, never thought about that…

That legit blows my mind. I’m not sure I’ve had a phone charging cable be effective for more than a year before I started having to jiggle it while standing on one leg facing East.
