Mostly because people aspire to be billionaires. Society would be much better off if people aspired to be hurricanes.

My stove won’t preheat, I guess because it’s a safety issue. Apparently you can set a remote start capability ahead of time that gets reset if you open the over door. But I’ve never tried it, since that seems like a lot.

I’m starting to think having my dick out this whole time hasn’t been working.

I got new appliances a couple weeks ago and they’re all “smart”. Turns out a smart microwave just sends you a phone notification when it’s done. By default.

As someone with multiple people living in the house, I can confidently say this is the dumbest “smart” feature ever. Promptly disabled.

Which kind of blows my mind. Coal miners should love EVs. There was a story in the news a few years ago about how nice it was for the miners to help someone in an EV, as if they should be mortal enemies.

Non-EV cars don’t run on coal, they run on gasoline. EVs on the other hand can run on coal, natural gas, solar, wind, you name it - and still are more energy efficient than cars burning gasoline. In a sane world, coal miners would be throwing their support behind electric vehicles. The utility companies seem to understand this, but seems like the support hasn’t made its way up the supply chain.

Not just photographing. She said:

Photographing, reporting and disseminating such men’s images online will be a piece of cake.

So feel free to take pics of her peeing and post them online.

3 parts water to 1 part vinegar. Soak them for about 10 minutes, then rinse them off and put in a separate container.

I’ve heard people say they just soak the entire plastic container, but I didn’t try that.

I heard that you could give your strawberries a vinegar wash to keep them fresh. I was skeptical but I literally just tried this for the first time a week ago today.

I just checked my fridge and the strawberries are still fresh and not moldy or squishy. So yeah, give it a shot!

Going on OAN and calling Fox News right wing propaganda is peak irony.

I’ve got 30 hours into it and haven’t finished it yet. I feel like it’s got a decent amount of gameplay so far. Plus I am already planning a replay once with different party members. I’ve also heard the story is better in the 2nd playthrough (you don’t really figure out wtf is going on until pretty far into the game). Definitely worth checking out, especially if you have Gamepass.

Highly recommend Expedition 33. The game play is exactly what I’ve been looking for in a game, and the story and world are both amazing.

Huh weird. I’ve got an account on .world and if I use that with Sync, posts don’t show get marked as read for me. Wonder what I’m doing wrong.

I read one of his short stories recently that followed one of the characters whose child died in Cujo. I love the idea of Stephen King completely forgetting he wrote that book and having to go back and read it to come up with characters for his later stories. Do you suppose while reading he was like “Damn this book is great, I wonder what’ll happen next?”

I tell you something. It’s the We the People, right?!

Really? Do posts show as read for you? Maybe Lemmy.world is still running an old version of Lemmy. Once sh.itjust.works patched to a new version 8 or 9 months ago, Sync became completely unusable for me.

Not gonna lie, it brought a smile to my face when you were sitting in your house on a cool spring day, reading a somewhat plausible but lengthy story about a captivating subject. Then you got a slight suspicion that this story almost seemed too good. Too perfect for the situation. How could this random person on the Internet have such a great story about being a snake charmer, a stunt pilot, or whatever. Then it hits you just like when back in nineteen ninety eight the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.

I’ve been on sh.itjust.works for the last couple of years. The admins are cool as hell. Highly recommend.

I know right?!
