The simulation keeps on churning…

FYI: There’s currently an open issue with crossposting on instances using the 0.19.4 lemmy ui.

In a nutshell, the post submission page reloads after it retrieves the community to crosspost to, so everything but the selected community is wiped out.

It’s a bug in 0.19.4. I opened a GitHub issue for this in the lemmy-ui repo.

Lotito holds the record for the ‘strangest diet’ in the Guinness Book of Records. He was awarded a brass plaque by the publishers to commemorate his abilities. He ate his award.

I would expect nothing less.

There is some scientific research suggesting that the Milwaukee Protocol is ineffective and that the patient’s own immune response was mostly responsible for clearing the disease, as she presented with antibodies despite not having been vaccinated.

I was just going to share this episode too!

No-fail kitchen garbage bag replacement.

0. Buy high quality (not Walmart) plastic kitchen bin. Note bag size printed on giant, impossible to remove sticker.

1. Buy proper bag size from name brand. You can spend a bit of money up front, or spend your valuable time later cleaning up garbage juice. Your call.

2. Remove bag from roll.

3. Open bag and scare the crap out of the dog by inflating the bag with swift, loud, jarring noises.

4. Place bag in bin. DO NOT ATTACH YET.

5. Starting at one corner, seal the bag around the edge while simultaneously reaching into the clean bag and forcing air out from between the bin and bag.

6. Work your way around until entire inside of bin looks like a reverse condom.

7. Good to go.

Bookstores especially are the absolute worst. I’m not paying 39.99 full cover price of the latest Stephen King book at your local business when Amazon is selling it for 18.99.

Y u no use library? It’s free. Sure, you might have to wait a while. But again, free. Plus other free stuff. Movies, games, everything.

But, who paid for the library? I guarantee you it’s local residents and local businesses. The Amazons and the Targets and the Walmarts of the world are very, very much involved in avoiding taxes as much as possible, be it the overturned dark store loophole or asking for tax incremental financing districts to force communities to sacrifice their property taxes for the convenience of the Big Box Store, Inc.

Isn’t it funny how the newest local big-box store always causes property taxes to RISE instead of fall? Huh. Weird.

Your local business on Main St. is there for a reason. Let’s take your bookstore. That owner has faced Amazon, the pandemmer, rising utility costs, worker shortages, road construction, tax hikes, and several other things I’m not thinking of. But when the local soccer club needs a $25 gift card donated for a raffle and Amazon tells them to get bent (if they even reply at all) you know that local bookstore owner will still do it.

Why?

It’s pride in the local community. It’s a sense of belonging. It’s knowing that the dollars you just spent in that bookstore are going right back into your community one way or another. Amazon ain’t gonna build you a new playground if the old one is destroyed in a tornado (hell, they don’t even protect their own employees during a tornado!). Amazon ain’t gonna close shop for a week or weekend and pitch in on the build. Amazon isn’t going to build a customer relationship with you. Hell, even Amazon’s customer service agents are OOPS…ALL BOTS these days.

So yeah, the book you want costs extra, and you’re broke. In that case, get what you can for cheaper where you can get it. There is nothing wrong with that in my opinion. Hell, go one step further and look for used. Why buy new at all?

But I know if I go to Pete at the local bookstore, he’ll be putting that money right back into the local economy.

Your create or link that community and it’s done! :)

Maybe it’s me. A lifetime of comic reading has taught me left, down, right, up in a frame. I definitely see it your way too though.

You can host overseas and use a proxy for hosting. I mostly don’t worry about it though because I don’t do anything illegal.

OP here - The post is meant to be humorous, but every non-personified detail is true. If we weren’t locked in for many more years I would ask to buy out our lease, but the penalty is more than if we continued to use the bloody device.

Why didn’t we go with a web-based mailing solution? I wish I knew - our volume is light (thankfully) but I guess someone wanted a physical machine to do the posting and metering.

Use encryption if you are concerned.

I looked up 2 Timothy 3:15 anything and it just gave me more questions
