Idk who’s spending $200 on it. It’s $100 for the basic, but it goes on sale often. Same with Ancestry’s test. They always go on sale.

You can buy appliances without smart features still?

Best Buy has dozens, if not hundreds, of fridges without smart features. I can buy a 18cu top freezer fridge for $450 right now.

That same type of fridge back in the 1970s cost $300-$400. Adjusted for inflation that’s $2,000

So I don’t get this post. You can buy cheap fridges still and it’ll probably last a long time if you take care of it. Read repair reports or Google random problems for a fridge you’re looking to buy to see the most common failure points and see what the repair cost would be to factor in future costs.

Stupid post.

I feel like this would be my mindset. Like you’re bummed out or disappointed that a certain action wasn’t successful, but you’re not upset with the person just the event in general.

My kids are still quite young but I’ve already had to catch myself mid-sentence and reword or rethink how I say certain things. It’s hard because at work we’re all cursing like sailors but at home we don’t want anything like that around the kids…to the best of our abilities.

And I absolutely hate Gnome. But thank god we have over a dozen DEs to choose from. One of the great things about Linux is user choice.

Been self hosting my own content since Netflix removed King of the Hill. Cancelled my sub immediately.

For the most part I was doing everything manually with a seedbox, SFTP, and then renaming things.

Just scrapped that setup and did a docker environment with gluetun, qbit, and some *arr apps. Pretty good so far, some annoyances, but was a bit easier than I expected.

All modern monitors are like this now. Dell, HP, Asus…

Doesn’t detect input? Instant power off. Now you have to press the menu key every 5 seconds to try and find the input for your PC.

Beyond ridiculous. I have a Dell that’s like 15 years old and it stays on for multiple minutes before going into power saving. It’s glorious

It’s all in moderation. Eating 8 or so eggs scrambled every morning probably isn’t healthy for you either. But 2-3 eggs, some toast with decent butter, and some fruit is more sensible. Maybe swap it with yogurt and granola one morning.

Personally if I’m even hungry in the morning I go light and have plain toast, or I get a loaf of rosemary sourdough from the store and have that untoasted. If I’m hungry I do the yogurt combo.

My main pet peeve is cooking and eating for hours…I don’t feel like cooking breakfast for 1-2 hours(pancakes from scratch, eggs, bacon, etc.) and then eat for another hour and now it’s already lunch time and I still haven’t cleaned up from breakfast.

If I do a “lumberjack” type of breakfast then I go out to eat because I ain’t dealing with the kitchen for that lol.
