I love this story, thanks for sharing it.

“Unauthorized Bread” by Cory Doctorow is a short story about this. Great read.

Almost all these smart devices are useless. Just give me a fucking toaster or microwave that doesn’t die in six months, there is no world on which being able to connect my microwave or dishwasher to the internet is relevant or helpful to anyone but the data miners.

In japan they put the handwashing sink on the back of the toilet. It’s smaller, smarter, and doesn’t look weird and gross like this.

Then they brush their teeth in a different room so their toothbrush isn’t two feet from their shit.

That’s never been my experience in the slightest.

I think the right way to go is fine a good local computer store with knowledgeable people and get their help parting out and assembling it. You get some repair coverage and benefits like that, they do the bulk of the work, and you can put your own options in on anything you’re knowledgeable about. It’s what I’ve done and it’s well worth it for the small extra cost.

These are millenial shooters dangit, boomers were too old for doom. Gen X at most.

More seriously though I just replayed the OG doom and it still slaps, nice to see some folks are trying to recapture that. I should check these out.

I don’t understand why anyone is naïve enough to still preorder from companies like Bethesda.

Mostly I don’t understand pre-ordering games at all (patient gamers represent) but from Bethesda? You’re basically paying to get kicked in the shins. Surely we all know this by now.

Yeah I have a cork-leather wallet, it’s awesome. Lasting better than my prior two supposedly leather ones. Not sure it would work as a belt though, idk

Generally speaking the folks here are right, you should be able to maintain veganism unless things go really sideways. I’d recommend getting in touch with a dietician though if you’re really worried (not a nutritionist, different beast) and having them go over your plans. Iron deficiency is a particular risk, one that can be easily surmounted as long as you’re aware of it… Way harder to keep iron up when pregnant even than usual, and it’s already tough as we all know.

What? With half of Lemmy being star trek subs right now?

My friend I have a dated and often slow paced pretty solid show to introduce you to.

In my day we used emojis made of ASCII punctuation mark and we were happy. You kids today don’t know how good you have it.

That sounds like one of those things where you forget about it, then years later realize how fucked up it was.

There are still a lot more people on twitter.
