Shoot, I had remained ignorant to that last part until now. Is Lowe’s the only big box hardware store I can still support? How about Ace?

I’ve never lived in a state with a Menards, and I’m still a big fan. Menards is worthy of some fandom.

DST is what most people prefer. It’s the switch back to standard time that’s dumb.

The politics are left of center on social issues, but I wouldn’t say it’s as bad as Reddit. I see a lot of anti-trump stuff, but that has nothing to do with his politics.

Blocking desalines using the software he helped write is very satisfying, in a sad sort of way.

Keep trying on other instances unless your views align with .ml. Otherwise you’ll be automatically deemed a tankie by a lot of people and that might alter your experience on the fediverse.

Welcome to Lemmy!

Lemmy isn’t immune to bans for people speaking their mind or promoting violence. It happens all the time.

I have a credit card that gives 6% cash back on grocery stores. Gift Cards are supposed to be excluded from that, but it still works at some stores. I used to buy Amazon gift cards, effectively making Amazon 6% cheaper.

There’s some psychological stuff to consider, though. Did I spend more on Amazon because there was a gift card balance? I like to tell myself no, but I probably did.

Beer mug warmers

Oh no, I fell for it

Correct me if I’m wrong, but there are 2 hydrogen atoms in a molecule of water. Do you mean in a drop of water?

Block lemmy.ml and hexbear to start. I find their users to be quite toxic.

You mean like the one linked here? Or something with a specific URL like “killedbymozilla.com”?

Aha. Well, I guess I’m not the target audience because I can’t be bothered to go through the installation steps. It’s not in the LMDE repository, but I wish it were!

Hmm, that’s not working for me. You mean use those as options? ‘ls -eza’?

I learned you can edit .bashrc (in your home dir) and update the alias for ls to include what I like. It has saved me lots of keystrokes. Mine is ls -lha in addition to whatever color coding stuff is there by default.

Black Olives (or green, either way).

I use them when warranted, which isn’t very often. I don’t think the avoidance of using swears is a religious thing, it’s a language/cultural thing. For some reason they’re just deemed “bad words”. They exist in almost all languages and cultures as far as I know.

A good friend of mine swears a lot unless kids are around. I don’t mind it, but he’s sort of “that guy” because of it. If he was someone I just met, I’d think he’s just a bit lowbrow and that’s about it. I wouldn’t think poorly of anyone because of it as long as their attitude is good.

People look at expensive houses more often than not. You can definitely send someone, though, like if you’re looking at a house in a different city and can’t get there just for a showing. We did that once and had our friend do a video chat with us.
