You aren’t?

Oh no I assure you, this was an executive decision. The VP of manufacturing, specifically.

We don’t let Interns make purchase orders at all, let alone call shots like that. Especially not for big ticket items like these weldments.

Oh I feel this in my soul. Recently my company was going to buy some very important welded structures, and instead of working with the American company that we promised the business to, one executive went over everyone’s heads to buy these from the offshore team, despite protests from literally everyone.

They came in today each one is $100k worth of scrap metal. Absolutely unsalvageable pieces of shit. Truly a colossal level of fuckup.

Will the execs learn? Probably not.

End? I think the word I’d use would be “Start”.

It’s called Haggis, thank you.

Don’t let a bunch of internet bozos convince you that your interests are bad or stupid. Some people just aren’t into the things that you are and vice versa. They don’t even know you! Fuck em!

Mmmmm crunchy

Don’t wash your rice for any kind of flavor reasons. Wash your rice because there might be bugs in it.

I like nuclear a lot too, but it does have its drawbacks:

1. Expensive. Plants are expensive to build and maintain. They also take like 5-10 years to build from scratch.

2. Water intensive. In the coming century water is going to a really hot commodity as water reserves dwindle. Having a power source that relies on lots of water might not be a good idea.

3. Fuel sources. Not about what’s fueling it but where is coming from. Uranium is only found in certain deposits and if your country either doesn’t have a source in house then they need to have political clout and money to obtain it. Everyone likes to point to France as a nuclear powered country but where did they get their uranium? Niger. The same Niger that just had an anti-french coup, cutting off their supply.

Maybe future tech like SMRs will make it more viable but for now the solar/geothermal/wind route will be a much quicker and easier replacement for fossil fuels.

Selling anything online via Craigslist or FB marketplace, or any similar thing is just an awful experience all around.

I sold a car a couple years ago on FB marketplace and it was the same deal. Everyone thinks that somehow, low balling will work. As if I’m going to sell a $3000 car for $100. Like, bruh.

I ended up just replying “lol” to any low ballers and blocking them.

A fun alternative though is to agree to their low ball price, give them address to the local clown school, and then ghost em when they ask where you are. If they are gonna slide into your DMs to tell jokes, they should at least learn how to do it properly.

Anything between you and the ground is always worth buying quality. Shoes, tires, mattresses, etc.

It’s got all the cards with art, a good deck builder, and it supports multiple game modes, including Commander. It’s also got bot players that are good to test decks against and it forces game rules, so it’s good for learning.

*I’ve never gotten the multiplayer to work. My friends use Cockatrice for that. (Also FOSS) Cockatrice is clunkier and much more manual to use but, the multiplayer works.

See the meme has it all wrong. The boba isn’t made from ribosomes. Boba recharges ribosomes.

I drink boba once a week to maintain healthy endoplasmic reciticlums.

I lift 3x a week. I do it because it helps my mental health a lot and I feel good afterwards. The high is real but you gotta push yourself pretty hard to get it.

As for starting, start small. Maybe start with a half hour walk every day. Then make it longer. Then replace the long walk with a short run. Then longer runs. Then maybe you want to try something else that’s a little tougher and you start lifting weights. That’s what happened to me.

But you gotta stay on schedule. That’s the hard part. It’s really easy to get complacent and stop.

This is the answer. I’m 26 and most of my peers didn’t really use the internet beyond the occasional usage of the school library computers until Apple released the first iPhone. By that time places like Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit were up and running.

That’s all their experience with the internet is. Polished experiences through dedicated apps on extremely popular platforms. Now those people have had kids and all those kids know is the same thing. It’s all apps on phones and tablets.

Lemmy: A) Is too complicated in it’s current form for those types of people to effectively understand and use.

B) Lemmy is currently emulating a type of early internet experience that only nostalgic older millennials nerds crave. General users tend to prefer bigger platforms.

History never repeats but it does rhyme.
