Which is actually amazing for tacos and as an added bonus is you don’t get those nasty grizzly parts

There’s a Starbucks near me close to a complicated intersection. Without fail every Tesla making a left at the intersection does so directly into the rightmost lane (three lane street) then slams the brakes to turn right into the parking lot for Starbucks, all without a turn signal.

It’s usually not that complex. If someone has a plate of chilaquiles with egg on it and I say I’m vegan I don’t think it’s hard to discern that I’m probably not going to eat it.

I used to drive a 1999 Nissan Sentra, it looked like a wreck but it got me everywhere I needed to go and was quick and cheap to repair. Everyone told me “you need to get rid of that car.” At the time I wasn’t making tons of money, but I did gain $5K in stocks suddenly during COVID-19.

I searched for “best cars for $5,000” and one of the recommendations was an Audi A3. I didn’t really know shit about cars so I went for it, and boy did I end up spending a lot more than $5K in repairs in the first few years (though luckily I started earning a lot more).

I still love the car to death, but it’s a 10 year old luxury vehicle. I still don’t trust it to get me to the next state but I don’t commute to work so it’s cheaper at this point to keep it and maintain it well rather than buy another used car (with an entirely new set of problems) or take out a huge, huge loan for an updated equivalent (the car is completely optioned out).

I also learned that with German vehicles you must, must find highly a knowledgeable mechanic that you can trust. A few times I took it to cheaper mechanic closer to home but found out 1-2 years later he didn’t actually fix the problems.

Had I simply waited another few years I probably wouldn’t have had to spend a fortune fixing the damn thing, and I’d probably be financially stable enough to actually get a better car. But I live in Los Angeles where the people I know will feel shame on my behalf due to the car I drive. 🙄

Maybe not advice but people who condescendingly say “you don’t have to explain yourself” are exactly the people who want you to explain yourself.

Same goes with “I hate drama” folks.

Right. I guess people mix up the two a lot so for me it’s just easier to say “no animal products” plainly.

How could I forget? It always blows people’s minds that I don’t eat fish, but before I was vegan I never liked fish anyway but no one had a problem with it then.

I’m vegan and the number of people who can’t figure out “no animal products” is astounding. I’m so tired of “no eggs? No dairy?” like yes bitch, I don’t fuck with animals.

People act like it’s rocket science.

I’d love to add something original to this post, but you’ve pretty much covered it.

To your point about corporate overlords: many of us loved Reddit until we realized it was a cesspool (for any number of reasons) and moved on, and it’s almost a shameful thing to admit we ever liked Reddit at this point.

To put it more simply: we just love federation and we love the format. We could always jump ship to Mastodon or any other federated platform, but long form discussion is what I believe drives adoption of Lemmy in particular the most.

Is it fishy to travel without luggage? I’ve done it tons of times, who knew?

I don’t think it’s necessarily horrible but with slow WAN speeds it might be worth it to set up a DNS caching server and potentially caching proxies for whatever services you use (this used to be easier for generic HTTP before encryption).

For example, macOS has Content Caching for caching Apple software updates. You can also cache repositories for several Linux distributions, Docker, stuff like that too.

You can have your TMHI connect over Ethernet to a switch where you’ll have ports then there you can get your wired connections and your point to points and your mesh network all off that switch. If you need more ports add another switch.

I’d much rather go this route too, using “mesh” for WiFi just sounds like too much chaos for me. It’s not sexy, but it’s a lot easier to maintain and upgrade (the individual parts).

Why not ditch the mesh and go with a properly switched network with Ethernet as the backhaul? Your latency is likely already hosed using cellular for WAN, why add even more as traffic boings around a bunch of mesh nodes?

“Your climate is warmer than mine so I gotta prove how tough and skilled I am”

Oh ffs, this entire thread is a pissing match between people dispersed in multiple climates.

I’ve lived in -40°F winters but I’m sat here in SoCal tonight with 50°F nighttime lows freezing my ass off.

How is that possible? It’s called acclimation. Go to a climate opposite of yours sometime for at least two weeks then come back. You’ll probably notice real quick that your home climate is the one that feels weird because you’ve acclimated to your new climate.

Where I live, gas ones are illegal but that doesn’t stop all the leaf blowers choking the air with gas fumes. I literally have to turn on an air purifier to get rid of the smell.

Granted my apartment isn’t exactly a commercial workspace, but nothing is more infuriating than having to close all the doors/windows to my apartment when I’m in the middle of some huge programming problem. It instantly breaks apart the 10 things going on in my mental queue.

My motto is “macOS/iOS on desktop/phone,” Linux on everything else. I’m a programmer by day but I don’t want to fight for all the features I take for granted in Apple’s walled garden.

Haters might hate, and I still love watching Linux development but I’m more into server/CLI stuff on Linux than I am trying to make Gnome/KDE/Wayland as seamless as macOS.

It’s hard to find anything in English but if your browser has translation Wikipedia has some information.
