The menu one is specifically so restaurants don’t get sued when they accidentally serve you raw products or food you’re allergic to.

I suppose that makes us litigious, which is pretty weird and sad.

Great write up, and I’m glad you were able to recover most of your servers after this incident.

I was a Crocs hater for the longest time. Finally I needed some new shoes for doing tasks outside (gardening, etc) and on a whim got some Crocs. They’re pretty comfy and very convenient to slip on real fast to go outside.

Oil-absorbing paper

Sometimes I’ll get so oily, I fear the United States is about to launch an invasion on me. Do you have a brand or kind you recommend? Those might benefit me.

Hello, me. Complete with the triple tap check…

Honestly, a very useful skill to learn. Thanks for the pitch!

Damn, maybe I need a pair. I have the same habit, including picking at nails. I always end up with a really shitty hangnail or bit of skin that stings.

Burt’s Bees is definitely the best!

Pretty standard stuff here.

I used to rock Cirkul 4 or 5 years ago but the last few flavors I tried tasted waaaay too artificial to me. I liked it pretty good until that point.

Who knew EDC could be so… Aesthetic! Thanks for sharing that link too, probably should have looked for that community before posting. But I like giving people a chance to talk about themselves a little. :)

I see we have an EDC enthusiast in the house ;)

You reminded me that I’ve been needing to do up a car-trunk-kit, and this has given me some good ideas to boot. Thanks for sharing!

Slim Fold Micro

I hadn’t heard of this company before, these look awesome, and just what I may be looking for! I presume by your hyperlink that your experience has been positive?

Can’t forget your ghosts, if only because they won’t let you forget.

If you don’t mind me asking, do you get any mileage out of the Rabbit R1?

For me, it’s neat to know what other people carry. We’re all different people with different stuff and things, and it’s fun to learn about people I reckon. Totally get what you mean though, it’s very mundane lol

I had a similar experience on my laptop. I tried Ubuntu which broke after trying to throw on Nvidia drivers (using the official docs). I tried Mint and Debian, both of which couldn’t detect my laptop’s wifi card (after hours of trying to fix - apparently a common issue but the fixes did not work for me!). I landed on Fedora, worked great. I’m now on EndeavourOS, but Fedora was the stepping stone I needed.

My desktop I built recently is Bazzite, which is Fedora based and I love it.

Thanks for the info. Pretty awful.

Nazi signposting? Any examples specifically? Gave up on IH after the plagiarism deal, and I know some of his earlier content tends to lean on the edgier side of things.

Back in the early days I found Firefox to be clunkier and slower than Chrome, which was the reason for my using Chrome for well over a decade. But since Chrome became Google’s My Little Spyware, I’ve moved back to Firefox and it’s so much better. More stable, better customization, and way more privacy focused.

Someone else said it but yeah, this feels like astroturfing.

It’s rare, but as a long-haired (cis) male, someone might refer to me as ma’am or miss. It hasn’t happened since I worked retail 7 or 8 years ago.

Admittedly, I don’t have many trans folks in my life to refer to. If I see someone and their gender is ambiguous, I default to they/them pronouns. I don’t think I’ve ever offended anyone from misgendering them. I try to respect people and their identities. Hell, I don’t even like misgendering dogs 😅
