Meh, I'm not doing the worst with my Arch setup.
It may be time to switch to Nix tho :3

Also, skirts are underrated. Wear skirts, everyone, don't even care. Everyone looks good in a skirt. And with eyeliner and mascara too! (imho)

I have 3 but would LOVE to hear more....

You can always have more but you can't have less

This one's from my dad and it really stuck with me. You can, and really should, apply this to any intoxicant.

On the pitch is off the streets

This is about getting restless kids, or kids who might be in a bad situation, into sports.

The axe forgets but the tree remembers

Translation on this one: People who cause hurt are less likely to remember than those it affected.

Yes it is too Thanksgiving in Canada.

Oh my fucking god, this might be the most badass comeback to those shitty "it's gay" arguments I've heard in a long time 😂

U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle, once a top campaign surrogate for Donald Trump, has resigned amid a misconduct probe.

“Serving as the United States Ambassador to Greece has been the honor of a lifetime,” Guilfoyle said Tuesday in a post on X announcing her resignation.

She also addressed “recent allegations against me,” writing, “These allegations are false, and I intend to vigorously defend my name, my reputation, and my integrity.”

Guilfoyle’s post came shortly after new White House press secretary Katie Zacharia told reporters that Guilfoyle had been asked to step down.

I'm sure it's annoying for some to click offsite, but it's 20 panels long. IMO worth the read, though!

Previous owner said they always had huge icicles off the back of the house. This would be why.

.75 inches of fiberglass, where there should be at LEAST 8 inches, and code for our area more like 15 inches.

Combine that with the uninsulated, unblocked floor cavities in the upstairs floor joists, that lead directly to the uninsulated attic space...

And combine THAT with the 4(!!!) access points to the attic that were not only completely uninsulated, but also had no weather sealing, and ⅛-¼ inch gaps around all edges.

This house was literally leaking warm air like a sieve, all winter long.

I'm only putting in 8 inches of fiberglass batting. And sealing every crack and joint I can find, as well as the gaping holes 🤦‍♂️

It'll still be under code, but, insulating it properly with spray foam would cost literally SIXTEEN TIMES MORE than just using the batting. And considering that our long term goal is to condition the attic space by insulating the roof deck, obsoleting the insulation I'm putting in now, I'm not eager to overspend.

I'll settle for only blocking 95% of heat flow, instead of 99.

Just bought a 2m section of flexible tube for a gas stove, and the sales clerk asked first for my phone number, to which I replied "I don't have one". Then she asked me for my name, to which I replied "I'll pay in cash". She then insisted it was so "the cashier will call you by name", to which I replied "I'm not giving you my name, I'll pay in cash". [Edit: she apparently got a bit upset when I refused to give info, but ended up entering "no name" according to the receipt]

Am I wrong for not wanting to give personal data for an item paid in cash, in person? No other hardware store ever asks me for my personal info.

I have. And I think folks should be able to talk about it without being stigmatized or harassed for sharing their experiences.

This cartoon from The Seattle Times illustrates how America's economic pizza is actually sliced per capita, highlighting the massive disparity between the Top 1%, the merely wealthy, the upper middle class, and the lower 50%.

Character.ai said it has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, with its chief executive attributing the chatbot provider's financial problems to "significant legal, regulatory and operational headwinds."

The company said it will continue operating as it seeks to sell its business, and added that The Walt Disney Co. has agreed to pay $20 million for a non-exclusive, perpetual license to Character.ai's intellectual property.

Women with autoimmune conditions are up to 74% more likely than men to be told their symptoms are psychological or psychosomatic, and face much longer waits for a diagnosis and treatment, a study suggests.

Hundreds of millions of people – about one in 10 globally – are affected by autoimmune conditions, which can cause a range of health issues including fatigue, muscle pain and rashes.

But research by the University of Cambridge and University of East Anglia suggests a stark gender divide when it comes to how signs of the conditions are handled by doctors.

Women are more likely to have their conditions wrongly attributed to psychiatric causes, more likely to have symptoms misdiagnosed as psychosomatic, and more likely to experience delays in getting a diagnosis, according to the study.

The lead author, Melanie Sloan, said: “The damage caused to women by these types of misdiagnosis can be very long lasting in terms of trusting doctors and their own self-esteem.”

Sloan, a researcher in the department of public health and primary care at Cambridge and UEA, said some women were forced to wait years before finally getting a diagnosis, causing long delays to treatment for their condition.

In March 2025 I posted in r/BuyFromEU about my journey of switching from US apps to European alternatives. One line in that post said: "Microsoft To Do --> Structured (Germany)"

Structured didn't stick. Super Productivity didn't stick. Lunatask, Superlist and Vikunja didn't stick either. I wanted the simple list that Wunderlist used to be (not tailored for businesses or teams, not overloaded by features I don't need), made and hosted in Europe, with no subscription. I couldn't find it, so I built it myself. It's called OmmiQ: https://ommiq.com/

What it is:

• A to-do list and day planner: inbox, today, scheduled and category pages.
• Free. Technically you don't need anything else, but I do offer optional extras (like a week view or push reminders) that are one-time purchases. No subscription.
• No trackers, no ads, no analytics. Check it yourself. The site loads only from its own domain.
• GDPR is the baseline, and you can export all your data any time.
• Hosted by Hostinger (Lithuania, servers are located in Germany). Payments are made through Mollie (Netherlands).
• Supports 6 languages (English, German, Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese) and is built to meet EU accessibility rules (WCAG 2.2 AA).
• Easy switch from other to-do apps like Todoist, TickTick, Google Tasks, Microsoft To Do, Asana, Trello and OmniFocus by importing your tasks from them.

It's a web app you can install on your phone or laptop straight from the browser (PWA). No Google Play Store, no Apple App Store, no Google or Apple account needed, and neither of them takes a cut.

It's still small: 57 people use it and 5 have bought 16 extras. Most buyers found it on goeuropean.org. OmmiQ is actively being developed and I keep adding features without making the core more complex.

If you moved away from your current to-do app: what do you miss most? That's what I want to build next.

Disclaimer: I built OmmiQ and it's my company.
