I think stairs are the way to go if you have the time and motivation to build them. It’s a lot of effort up front but once you make the steps you shouldn’t have to touch them for many years.

Switchbacks can have erosion and drainage issues if you don’t put significant effort into their design, and maintain them over time. A straight scramble up the hill is going to get annoying really fast, and also have erosion issues.

Edit: There are some great trail building guides online if you hunt for them. Though they usually focus on trails open to the public that will get substantial use. If this is your private path then they are probably overkill for your needs.

Then who?

!superbowl@lemmy.world is indeed superb!

Woosh

No, we are not okay with hosting that content. Thank you for bringing it up. That is a newly created community within the past two days, and we had not noticed it yet. I have removed the community.

For transparency’s sake, I will mention that we have a !combatvideos@sh.itjust.works community which may include some gory content. In that case, the mods approached us before creating the community to discuss what it could contain and how it would be run. The admin team decided to allow it since there is arguably a public interest in documenting what our governments are doing.

“It puts the lotion on it’s skin…”

On a related note, GWAR did an NPR Tiny Desk concert. It’s really… something.

My parents used cinnamon toothpaste. Vile stuff.

Look at Mr. System 6 over here! I grew up on System 7 myself.

I bet you were transferring all your files over the internet encoded in BinHex format, eh?

I was adding a second drive to a Windows desktop the other day and was tempted to assign it A:. I just couldn’t do it, though. It felt like I was violating some unspoken rule.

Playing through small injuries leads to larger injuries. If your coach were paying you thousands or millions of dollars per game, they would not want you to wreck yourself and end up missing games.

Even as a white guy with citizenship, coming back into the US was a pain in the ass 10 and 20 years ago. And my friends with student visas and green cards were occasionally hassled for no clear reasons. I can’t imagine how stressful that experience would be now, especially for anyone without a US passport or who lands on the wrong end of the color card in that Peter Griffin meme.

Product R&D engineer here. I have a product manager who only knows how to give one piece of feedback: make it smaller and slimmer. What requirement is driving this? Can’t say. What user need are we trying to address? No idea. But smaller=better for some reason.

That sounds maddening! Best of luck keeping your head above water.

Levis makes a huge range of quality. The stuff at shopping mall department stores is crap. But the made-in-Mexico shrink-to-fit 501s you can find at hardware stores are phenomenal. And they are still only like US$50.

OMFG BANNED

I have been enjoying sparkling water flavored with hops. It’s distinctly different from non-alcoholic beer, and much better IMO.

Unsweetened iced tea and cold brew coffee are also standards in my kitchen during summer. My significant other likes kombucha enough to make it at home sometimes, but I never liked the stuff myself.

Articles of Interest. It’s nominally a fashion podcast, but they tie it into lots of other topics: history, culture, identity, religion…

Tall data centers do exist in cities where land is expensive. It’s the same reason everyone builds up in cities. Where land is cheap and available it’s usually easier and less expensive to build things low and wide.
