Absolutely. I feel this way about referees/umpires in sports too. The best ones aren’t flashy but just enforce the rules.

Nintendo 3DS is my favorite of all time 😁

In the US, all AutoZone and Advance Auto Parts will dispose of your oil for free. Also, most municipalities will take it at special centers (same place where you might go to dispose of electronics).

Personally I have a designated where I let the oil collect from multiple oil changes, and then I take it to the county landfill maybe once every two years when there’s enough to justify a trip.

It’s a small hassle, but worth it IMO. Just depends on what is available to you.

You can teach yourself how to change the oil on your car simply by watching YouTube videos. And then all you need to buy are a few basic supplies, and you’ll be able to change your oil for life. Oil changes are either absurdly expensive (dealership) or done half-assed (Jiffy Lube), so doing it yourself gives you a job done right for pennies on the dollar.

And if you find that you have a knack for it, you can teach yourself more basic maintenance jobs like changing brake pads.

I think it’s very on-brand for Reddit to announce that they are removing a feature without having a replacement ready for primetime.

Why on Earth would you announce this now when you’re not ready for whatever is coming next? It’s like they are purposely trying to kill Reddit.

I’m only half joking that I’m expecting Mark Zuckerberg to announce a new app called “Links” next week that looks suspiciously like Reddit, because this pattern is starting to feel familiar.

Amusing that Twitter’s cease and desist notice claims that Meta is using its “trade secrets”. Lmfao what trade secrets? Twitter has no unique technology or patents. Their whole business position is nothing more than first mover advantage for their format of social media.

That’s why they’ve never made money. They don’t have any novel IP or “trade secrets” to leverage in the first place.

Say what you want about Meta, but at least they have a whole ad platform that they created that competes with Google Ad Sense, and is an actual asset.

My man.

Did you ever go to candystand.com? Basically the king of flash/shockwave games.

Great band, and their stuff from the 90s is completely different from the style they ended up being known for later.
