  • 20% of the price is typical and horribly out of reach with how expensive housing is

  • Which Core XY printer?

    Jump

  • I've considered it but it hasn't bugged me enough. Probably going to try them out here pretty soon

  • Self hosted family archive

    Jump

  • What you're looking for is genealogy software. You've got me curious about this as well now, hadn't thought about it before. I'm seeing some recommendations online for Gramps Web, don't know if it's a perfect fit but might be a good starting point.

    Jump

  • I've got the Centauri Carbon and really like it. It is fairly noisy, but we're in a small studio apartment and it's been pretty easy to tune out during the day (Overnight prints are annoying though)

  • Nopin' Right Outta There

    Jump

  • Based on your username in guessing you're German? (Apologies if I'm wrong). Here in the USA when I first got my license in the state of Oregon it was the opposite. If you weren't looking backwards while reversing and using only your mirrors, you'd be docked points on your exam.

  • Oh it gets worse than just that. I did the same for a while, and when we first started the permissions that app wanted were reasonable considering what it does.

    We dropped it and took the higher rate earlier this year once the app started asking for a lot more permissions, like biometric and health data to "verify if we're walking or driving".

  • My recipe calls for the juice of one lemon

    Jump

  • If it's the same lemon-shaped bottle of lemon juice I'm thinking of, it should say how many tablespoons of juice equals a medium lemon (Something like 3TBS maybe? Too lazy to look in my fridge right now)

  • Seriously what's that idea?

    Jump

  • ...and? They could do that that even without seeing your content.

    Photo of novelty check suggests Epstein ‘sold’ Trump a woman for $22,500

    Jump

  • The redacted parts are victims names. You need to ask why they reacted what Trump bought.

  • What do you call these?

    Jump

  • The charger/phone charger. Since it's the most used charger it's just the default if we're not specific

  • The 2nd biggest religion in each state (US)

  • Religion should be an excuse to be good, not an excuse to be wrong.

    I couldn't agree more. The church absolutely has bad history in regards to black segregation and current issues with LGBTQ+ peoples. One of the big parts of our doctrine is that everyone here on earth is flawed, no one here is perfect. This very much includes the prophets and apostles (they have said so themselves), and - if one is in a good ward/congregation that understands the doctrine - we look into these past atrocities and try to be better. We teach church history and encourage members to look through archived documents and research materials.

    If the founder can be wrong about something so harmful, and if core doctrines can later be rejected as mere “policy”, then really I should always be engaging my critical thinking.

    Critical thinking is great, and definitely encouraged! Joseph Smith did his best to follow the doctrine and lead the church according to how he interpreted the scriptures, but at the end of the day he was just a human like you and I and subject to his own biases.

    I do try and make a distinction between policy (how leaders understand doctrine and apply it to church functions. Current policy can be found in the General Handbook) and doctrine (what's actually written in the scriptures, and often interpreted differently by different people). As far as I'm aware, church doctrine has never supported not giving blacks the priesthood. Church policy on the other hand was dictated by the times at the hands of men, and men decided that blacks could no longer receive the priesthood, and we can and do all agree that it was a Bad Thing to do and is a blemish on the church's history.

    Jump

  • I'm curious what doctrine you think has been changed? I'm a member of the church and can happily answer questions to the best of my ability.

    I will agree that policy has changed over time (for better and for worse, it's run by a bunch of regular people and people make both good and bad decisions) but the core doctrine is pretty static.

  • It's happening! The Canadian Costco cult is showing fractures!

    Jump

  • Can you explain how Costco is a cult...? I fully support boycotting American products (our country is absolutely dumb), and if people want to drop their Costco membership as a form of boycotting that's totally valid (Perhaps it will incentivize a better local alternative in the long run!)

    General sentiment from people is that Costco pays its employees well, has good customer service, competitive prices (if you're buying in bulk), and more. People like supporting businesses like that.

    If there's some nefarious things going on in the background I'm all ears to learn how it's a cult.

  • Which stage are you at?

    Jump

  • I started with Debian as well for my first server while I still had Windows as my desktop. Once I finally got around to ditching Windows, I was comfortable enough with a headless Debian server so figured I'd just stick with it for my desktop.

    Definitely had some learning curves there. There's a lot more tinkering to do to get things working

  • Which TV brand is the most reliable in your experience?

    Jump

  • I can second Sceptre for both TV and regular monitors! They're definitely not the best quality (not bad, not astounding), but they're dumb and do the job

  • We are not our emotions

    Jump

  • German (if I'm remembering right from my high school language class days), does the same thing as well. It's not 'I am hungry', it's 'I have hunger'.

    (If there's any actual German readers/speakers and I misspoke, I apologize. This was almost 15 years ago at this point!)

  • RFK Jr. and the White House buried a major study on alcohol and cancer. Here’s what it shows.

    Jump

  • That <0.5%, if I understand it correctly, is basically nothing. A cursory search showed that there are a lot of food and drinks that are at around that level. A ripe banana can have 0.4% by itself!

  • What do you think of imitation and lab-grown meats?

  • Loops - short form video with ActivityPub - is now open source!

  • In case you're serious (or for anyone else who may not know), it means "I am not a lawer"
