  • [US] At a sushi restaurant, is it considered good ettiquette or bad ettiquette to order rolls cross several rounds?

  • Pay and tip, at least in my area.

    I'm old school. Hate the game.

  • You did it. The crazy son of a bitch, you did it.

  • Oh, it's all carbonated. Once the atmosphere is hot enough to lower the pressure across the boundary interface between air and sea and/or heat the oceans sufficiently to ex-gas, it'll fizz. It'll fizz for sure.

  • Wasn't my read, but it's a fair point to consider. Thanks!

  • You're right on the point about the kitchen not reaching the customer.

    A little more context, she did invite us to order one more round at the end. One guy in our group ordered one piece of Salmon nigiri. She was delighted to put it in for us.

  • What web services do you subscribe to?

    Jump

  • Same here. YT family plan, and $99/yr for the G1 storage (plus other benefits, but mostly the storage)

  • What web services do you subscribe to?

    Jump

  • You know? That might have been the case. I was an old Google Music subscriber, and I think when that rolled over to YT Music the subscription package bundled in YouTube premium. Later when I bit on the Google One subscription later, I think it was on a promotional offer. I remember it was about $100 at the time, and it aligned with some storage needs U had so why not?

    I just looked and it seems the Google 1 and YT sub's are billed separately. It was a while ago and my memory is hazy, but I'm into Google services for about $30 a month these days, and that's what I pay for.

  • XMPP as a Discord alternative for small group?

  • No, we all only ever used single mobile clients. Sorry I can't help

  • I've been hearing good things about Kagi.

    Google search got so bad I use DDG by default now, but that seems to be Bing by another name and itself seems to be deteriorating.

  • Not really productivity services, but to name a couple,

    • Google One (extra storage, bonus YouTube Premium & YT Music premium)
    • MXroute for mail hosting (used to self host)
    • Amazon Prime (for the shipping, the content is a bonus for us)
    • Hulu (kid's gotta see that ONE show... 🙄)
    • Lemmy.world (via Patron)
    • Couple of YouTube creators and app publishers I enjoy regularly (via Patreon)

    I'm considering joining Nebula because many of the creators I frequently watch on YouTube are setting up shop up over there, and I'm getting irritated with YouTube for how The Algorithm is affecting the quality and content of the infotainment channels I enjoy.

  • I hear you. The desktop wasn't Signal's primary market, and that's pretty clear in their implementation. On the other hand, that difficulty registering a desktop servuce may make it less attractive to would-be bot farms and spammers. Its a thin one, but I see that as a silver lining.

  • XMPP as a Discord alternative for small group?

    Jump

  • I maintained an ejabberd server for myself and a few friends for many years. The config language was a little arcane to me at first, but it was pretty solid after I got it set up. I used a couple of different client apps with it over that time, most of which are still available on the F-droid repo. It was fun, but got annoying when the server needed maintenance, or was down, or because of any of the other minor nuisances that come along with maintaining a service for others to use.

    Eventually we all ended up just moving over to Signal because it was just as good from the view of cost-benefit and risk for us. We're just trading stupid memes and Saturday night stories among ourselves. The most radical thing we might organize is a trip to Vegas for the week.

    Definitely try it out, but consider that being a comms provider for others is always a bigger chore than it seems at the outset.

  • The best way to say thank you is to pay it forward. Always be mindful of the time when you were the new kid, and freely share your knowledg & experience with the next new kid behind you in the spirit of community.
