Yeah, about the only place I trust for electronics reviews is rtings, and usually consumer reports for household appliances. Everywhere else seems infected by the affiliate bug

I’ve carried various 6-10’ pipes and poles sticking out the passenger seat of my Miata. Infinite vertical space! lol

6 of the fingers

I don’t get that term in this context. What’s a “finger” here?

I’ve had good experiences emulating PS2 on my Steam Deck. PS3 I haven’t gotten anything to run well enough that I’d call it enjoyable. Some don’t run at all

Adam Carolla had a bit like this on Loveline way back. Outdoor showers, multiple multiple old cars, and big family hunting trips were on his list of “rich man, poor man”

(Carolla’s a dick now, but I listened a lot back in the day)

Lemmy needs people with a wider range of expertise and interests. Right now it’s more niche than reddit c.2010

Housing was too expensive and we wanted to move back east closer to family. Most of our Oakland friends took a similar path between ‘18 and ‘22

Yeah if I see a “used once” tool on Craigslist, I’m not paying 95% of retail for it

Yeah I borrowed a bunch of hand and power tools from the Oakland public library when I lived there in the 2010s. They also had a shit ton of video games

The only time google gets me better results than DDG now is if I have a really vague question, like “movie where the guy wears a trash bag on his leg and has a piña colada on the train to Milwaukee”

Yeah most standard American chocolate is waxy and tasteless

The Niagra brand peanut butter cups are my crack. Probably the most expensive ones in the supermarket, but I shouldn’t be eating too many anyway

Those ones are my favorite

Nah you just call your accountant and have them do it. You got jet skis to ride.

It’s just the book and verse number on screen, like “Psalms 3:10” or whatever. Along with a graphic of a mouse(?) in a hat.

Usually in the last 10 seconds or so of the video IIRC

lol yeah, in the 90s you could go in there and buy a couple resistors, a couple capacitors, and a couple (expensive, crappy) LEDs

I can see how that didn’t work out for them though

There could be some purple states where the stars align and this passes, but yeah, at least a generation, probably more

Just a note on the tax part:

Consequently, while all Puerto Rico residents pay federal taxes, many residents are not required to pay federal income taxes. Aside from income tax, U.S. federal taxes include customs taxes,[1] federal commodity taxes, and federal payroll taxes (Social Security, Medicare, and Unemployment taxes).

You can use “extensions” for Safari, and there are at least a couple ad blocking extensions. I use Purify, and it works pretty well at blocking ads

I use a Safari extension called Purify. It’s in the App Store. Works pretty well for me.

(I also use a pi-hole at home)
