Not to divulge my whole life story but it was definitely a good decision for me. Gave me a direction in life and all that.

Can confirm, bottom right checking in

Good lord, well that puts that into perspective, thanks.

Is your tankless heater electrically powered? How much is the electricity bill? I’m on the fence in getting one because of that whole flip flop

Now that you’ve mentioned it, I’ve never considered tankless water heaters being gas powered also as an option. My house is all electric so I only have that variable to deal with.

How has the electricity bill changed after switching to it? I’m on the fence for getting one.

This is why you can spin up your own personal lemmy instance as a backup to use if your main goes down.

It helps to have one but you don’t have to use it much. I’ve landed my highest paying positions through LinkedIn, or recruiters found me elsewhere but the listing was through LinkedIn. So I have an account that has general info filled in but I don’t really touch it for anything.

Happy birthday 🥳

lmao this is hilarious

It’s Bender, catchphrase: Bite my shiny metal ass.

I miss these old green texts

What’s a melty cookie? Like temperature warm so the chocolate is melting?

This is a case of being the change you want to see in the world. The fediverse contains content you subscribe to or create. It’s trivial to block content you don’t want to see. It’s still small enough that you can effect visible change on it. And if you’re not seeing content you want to see, are able to post that content.

I think the reason it’s so prevalent here in the US is because the vast majority of the population ended up here at least in part due to immigration. So identifying as ethnically originating from elsewhere is a part of that self identity.

The disparity however, is knowing that while traveling through Europe, this style of self identification falls flat because simply being ethnically from a place doesn’t mean you can claim to be born and raised from there. And that meaning is what’s different between the US and Europe.

Having used their software in the past, I’m personally quite uncomfortable with this technology being used to monitor American citizens.

YouTube has a subscriptions feed that shows videos only from channels you follow.

I’ve found that turning the watch history off results in more accurate and relevant recommended videos from videos you watch from your subscribed channels.

When the recommended videos suddenly go off kilter, it’s telling that the video you’re watching is somehow related to the weird side of YouTube.

4, 5, 9.

4 because while the process might be painful, aside from the process it’s not an extreme change. And because I needed to pick 3 and only 3 options.

5 because that super strength would certainly come in handy if it’s controllable. It would suck if everything gets absolutely crushed by accident the moment you attempt to interact with it.

9 because why the hell not. You can’t be happy all the time, and the rest of the options seem to be a net negative. So at least being able to live comfortably or account for #5 would be okay

All hail the mighty blob 🙏
