TIL I’m also grumpy flufflefeathers

+1, I was fully veg for about 15y until I started having dreams about turkey sandwiches. I’m weekday veg now and only eat meat/eggs/etc that isn’t sourced from factory farming. Shit’s expensive and if lab grown meat has the same nutritional profile without the animal suffering I’d happily switch.

If someone’s into birds that’s cool. Not really my area of interest but more power to them.

+1, larger community projects really should try to spin up their own Lemmy hosting on whatever infra they already have for message boards

I’m interested in custom buckets of communities so I can build topic views. All, Local and Subbed aren’t granular enough to do that.

It’s probably a feature Lemmy itself should support on the instance but client side feeds would be nice to have until they get around to adding proper server side multis.

Yeah, that’s a trap. We signed a letter of intent on one place and had an inspector run through it before we committed to an offer - it’s fortunate that we did too, there was serious water damage to the house that the owners were trying not to disclose.

The shit thing about the market for a couple of years is that properties were marked up by 40-50% over about 5y and many of them had next to no work done, or they got the Lowe’s sale flipper special and looked terrible after.

Uhhhhhh. You paid for a house without getting it inspected? I’m shocked you were able to get homeowners insurance without one.

The entire point of getting an inspection done is to save yourself money. Find someone local who’s thorough and have them go over the house and look for any issues, it’ll be cheaper to fix them now rather than after something fails and there’s major damage.

And signal integrity. At modern speeds trace lengths are spec’d in mils and dimms can be tough to design for (or just more expensive) so OEMs just solder ram directly.

I’m hopeful this is further developed and licensed out. I’d love to have one of these setup at home as part of a VR rig

Yeah, well PC LOAD LETTER

This is v2 of the CAMM spec and it’s awesome. They’ve solved all of the major issues that were causing laptop mfgrs to solder ram directly to the motherboard and they’ve nailed the biggest problem with v1 which was the ease of damaging the CAMM connector pins. Apparently you could wreck the v1 connector with compressed air if you weren’t paying attention, which makes tool-free connector replacement in v2 a great addition.

Thanks, please pull forward to the next window

I mean, gestures wildly at everything

Climate change, rampant (and increasing) income inequality, treating employees like disposable parts, govt handouts to the wealthy in the trillions over the last decade, healthcare costs, rent?

Here? Not many, I sub to things I find interesting and browse my subscribed feed.

Reddit? Hundreds of subreddits if not more. If it’s full of rage or engagement bait, intolerance or it’s a community devoted to punching down I’ve probably blocked it.

The old “legalize, regulate and tax” routine tends to work better than just letting the problem fester in the background. Regulated gaming with proper oversight ensures that games are fair and not overtly predatory, and that the operators are inspected for compliance and pay their taxes.

It’s also worth getting them checked out by a gastroenterologist. Sometimes picky eating is a subconscious thing to avoid having the shits all the time.

My intro to calculus came in the form of a battered copy of a 1979 historical calculus textbook by W.M. Priestley, it was significantly easier to understand than any of the usual intro to calculus textbooks that I’ve seen.

Worth tracking down a copy if you’re planning to learn calculus, mine saw me through undergrad calc handily.

I’m just here to watch Phony Stark continue to light money on fire.

What are the boots for? When I did engineering field work in a previous life I swore by my Redbacks, they’re a popular choice with EMTs and firefighters here and they last forever.

Check out supportive insoles too, super feet green are helpful for people who think they have flat feet but in reality have just always worn shitty shoes and haven’t exercised much. A really good pair of walking shoes with supportive insoles will help a ton if this is you. I didn’t have properly supportive shoes until I was maybe 25 and they made a world of difference in my life. I too was told I had flat feet, but it turns out that a lifetime of poor shoes will do that to you. Most of my knee and posture problems resolved themselves after I brought supportive shoes and was able to walk comfortably. Check out Ecco if you’re looking for good walking shoes, my pairs usually last a good decade or so.
