  • $40 (CAD) / Day

    A bit expensive, but I'm both autistic and rather picky. I'm paying for my mental health there, not just food

    Generally I'll spend $15 on breakfast, $3 on a waterbottle at work, $20 for lunch, and sometimes I'll buy those discounted meals made with offcuts and leftovers from Sobey's. Around $10 - $15.

    On my days off I eat whatever I have available in my pantry when I remember to eat.

  • There are fusion plants that directly extract usable power using magnetic fields. It's not just a complicated steam power.

  • We're very close. I think it was only a few years ago that we first got more energy back than we put in. That's a big milestone.

  • Because ABC sounds like a kids song, but XYZ sounds like tech-bros. While notorious for poor financial decisions, they definitely understand marketing.

  • No fingerprint login. Its frustrating that in all cases I can use my fingerprint instead of a password except when booting up my laptop.

    Also, QOL and stability features would be nice. Buttons that dont work shouldn't be visible, for example, and getting a useful error message from many apps can be a headache.

    Recently, I had a problem where amy app using electron suddenly stopped working at all. When ran with the terminal, it showed 2 errors, neither of which told you how to fix the issue. Eventually I figured out that using flatseal to force all apps to use wayland fixed the issue and made things smoother as well.

  • It's pretty good, easier to read than most native speakers I'd say.

    If I had to give a critique, I'd say the letters are rather round, so it can be hard to tell an 'a' from an 'o', but most people develop quirks like that in English so it's perfectly fine.

  • Im bored and tired, so im going to write my reasoning out as I attempt to fall asleep.

    More cheese = more holes

    More cheese (volune) = more holes (volume)

    More holes (percentage) = less cheese (percentage)

    This cheese is refering yo the material, where the first is referring to the object. Different variables entirely. The first is a group that explicitly includes holes, while the latter explicitly doesn't.

    More cheese (volume) = less cheese (percentage)

    Idk man im tired.

  • The best part is they aren't even the ones sending them. They dont even ship to that country.

  • lol fair

  • Yeah, that happens a lot. The smart ones just take the product out of the packaging and leave it on the shelf somewhere. I find the things all the time, so I'm definately missing a lot. That's not really what I'm talking about though.

    I'm talking about the ones that security chases out of the store, or that try to scam us. They aren't smart about it. Sure, there's plenty of innocent looking scammers and really offputting normal customers, but they aren't all that common from what I've found. I treat everyone the same regardless anyway just in case I'm wrong, but still.

    I suppose what I'm finding aren't criminals but rather attempted criminals. I'm guessing they just grew up watching tv and when they got drunk or high enough to think stealing was a good idea, they just copied the aesthetics. Doesn't make having to deal with scammers that smell like they've never used a shower before and smoke a pack of cigaretts a day any better.

  • Your refusal doesn't change reality. Tupperware isa more common word that ehatever your supposed to call reusable containers.

  • I think we might have very different definitions of tart.

  • To be honest, all of the fediverse apps are too difficult to self-host. And yeah, the hardware requirements were what I was referring to. I should have been clearer, sorry.

  • Sure, but the peertube on-boarding sucks. Its miles away from Lemmy or Mastodon. Its also way harder to self-host

  • I had a lot of anger issues as a kid. I'm not sure how applicable my situation is, but somewhere around my mid-teens I'd fallen into an intense apathetic state where I was mostly incapable of feeling anything. Eventually, I was diagnosed with Autism and my life improved dramatically. Suddenly, if I was feeling overwhelmed or stressed, I could understand why and just leave whatever situation was causing the disruption. After that, I got really into books, and it let me explore my feelings and thoughts without interacting with the outside world, which so often caused stress and anger.

  • For me, money buys quality. I absolutely hate when a product I'm using is underperforming because I didn't save up for another month to get a better version. Sure, for some things, it just isn't worth it. Stuff you replace often, for example. But for electronics? I never cheap out. Because I'd rather not have anything than have a low quality tool.

  • No, I meant sapient. Sentient just means "reacts to outside stimuli." Plants are sentient. Its a really useless word.

  • Why are people acting like this is some big problem that Manjaro caused. Everything they warn about is just stuff caused by upstream stuff. X11 causing issues for some users cause it's outdated, wayland fixing a bug involving the package manager meaning you have to run a special command to fix it, and a backup utility of some kind being borked upstream. None of that is Manjaro's fault.
