yay more tankies in disguise

Surprise! The creek is full of blood sucking leeches!

You have social media addiction, but there is only enough new content to support 20 minutes of doom scrolling every evening

Not even unreasonable. Straight up hostage. I’d you post a wiki to their site thry effectively own it, and if you try to close it they will simply steal control of it and refuse to delete it under any circumstances to continue serving ad revenue. Which is what happened to fucking Mojang with the Minecraft wiki.

LPT use the Indiebuddy wiki to purge all Fandom links out of your browser and replace them with the correct indie wiki.

I haven’t kept close track for a year so I think it’s gone up again but my shared bill in Oregon typically was around $250 at I think ~14-15c/kwh. A majority of our power comes from the BPA hydro dams on the Columbia so the cost hasn’t quite skyrocketed like other areas, but Pacificorp is still trying to raise rates 20% a year.

(We are rural and also use electricity for pumping water from a domestic well, and irrigate a fairly large lawn as a wildfire break, so that is also our water bill.)

PG&E is just criminal.

Human rights are not a compromise. I will not even entertain the idea of compromising those. Abortion rights stay.

Gun control is an iffy one. It really should be fixed, but it will take decades of continuing reforms and filtering firearms out of the market to really get it to where it should be. On a short term basis, “compromising” (but not giving up) on this would be OK.

Climate change will obviously just kill us all, soooo…

In a keep two, give one scenario to shut Republicans up for an election cycle, it would be safe to compromise on gun control in exchange for cementing proper human rights and getting meaningful climate action.

I bought a $35 battery pack that has enough to get me at least one full charge, and I never worry about this anymore.

Whoever operates user benchmark these days is not mentally stable. Like legitimately off the deep end. The amount of defensive projection and “my tribe is better than your tribe” bullshit they vomit out these days is so ridiculous that not even a paid shill would post 90% of it. It’s a basement dweller with no life trying to find something to be a part of.

Well if it was on grad it wasn’t worth participating in anyway

That was a reddit community, it hasn’t been made on Lemmy yet it seems

Brave is also a shifty shady browser that has problems with inserting affiliate links without telling you and selling off user data. They’re really not better or remotely trustworthy TBH, you might as well use the actual TOR browser built on Firefox if you need that capability.

Not enough.

I pulled out all the stops and grabbed a Bambu X1C with AMS combo when they were on sale back in July. It’s probably overkill, and aim not a huge fan of their closed ecosystem, but I did have the money, and I also need to do true engineering materials that are difficult at best on lower end non-enclosed printers.
The main thing that sold me was my experience using P1S printers at college. Theyre super fast and rarely have issues.

I’ve really had zero problems with it. Every single print failure to date has been filament wet out of the box from Bambu, so I’m designing up a custom drying box right now to fix that problem. If you’re having problems with petg, definitely re-dry any filament you have lying around.

I’d argue even that being irresponsible. yeah high rates suck but you’re still paying on an asset, not a black hole.

Also, mortgages can be refinanced if/when rates drop later.

Motorcycles and mopeds are amazing in urban areas that haven’t built up public transit, honestly. They can be crazy efficient, have a ton of electric options now, and give people the range and speed to use existing infrastructure and not need dedicated lanes/shallow grades like bicycles.

I’ve not owned one since I grew up in a rural area and I’m not suicidal enough to ride one on a 65mph highway. but am planning to move to an urban area in a few months, I’ll probably get one for going downtown.

Me dropping $1350 on an impulse purchase of a 3D printer was probably “irresponsible” when I got my first engineering job paycheck.

That said, I’ve had a bunch of hours of fun with it, and am now starting to design possibly marketable items with it that I could make income with later, so it hopefully won’t be too stupid. Could be worse, I could spend $1300 on alcohol a year and have nothing for it but liver damage.

that’s like the least irresponsible purchase. even at a high interest rate, you are still paying on a principle that creates an asset with equity that increases your stable wealth. When you rent, all that money you pay just evaporates and you never see it again. A mortgage payment is almost always the better financial choice, unless you need to move frequently for work.
