That’s really cool, I miss more things being outwardly interoperable. Very useful feature, I can’t wait until they deem it too usable and remove it.
I was explaining RSS to a friend (I follow their Substack blog via RSS, yes, I read it in the ugly Feedbro interface) and they were a bit weirded out by the idea until I went into how this was kind of a default option a few years ago.
One day I’ll have a home server setup that will keep the Web 2.0 dream alive for me.
Unfortunately as a kid with an iron and too much free time I’ve picked enough old PCBs clean to the point that I’ve collected so many single-purpose inductors I’ve had to throw a lot of them out.
I really think there should be more guides like this spread far and wide. Would have done me good to have a video like this ten years ago.
Unfortunately less and less parts are discrete now. I can understand what someone is doing on screen when I watch a NES repair but most current day devices use tiny SMDs. I understand why, but it is different.
The pipe cleaner would probably ruin the valve.
It’s not that bad, you just flush water through it a few times. That’s not really worth it for me, I use my Prismo but not that often. Maybe I’m not enough of a connoisseur to know the difference.
Without it, I basically rinse my Aeropress and then give it a wash when I’m doing dishes later. Super convenient compared to, say, scooping grounds out of a French press.
I have one, I find it fiddly to clean. The rest of the Aeropress is basically zero maintenance.
And it’ll give you a little surprise the first time you use it and seal the Aeropress.
I found that I’m not all too bothered by the liquid coming out the other side before I seal it when doing a standard recipe that doesn’t need inverting. But to each their own.
No physical activity has ever felt as satisfying as a handful of times I chopped wood when I was like 14. I feel like there’s a strong psychological element to it, I really felt like a man in a great way.
I just looked up my orders, it’s the H16. Looking more closely at the receipts it seems like there’s different models with different max brightness but whatever ,they’re all blindingly bright, for me at least, a non flashlight person.
They’re also nominally waterproof, they’ve got a strong magnet at the base so you can stick it places while you work, and comes with a headband attachment and a belt clip.
The bulb is angled which was weird to me at first. I also had to learn the controls over time since there’s one button but several brightness settings.
I hate how promotion-heavy the internet has gotten because it feels like even writing out any endorsement feels like shilling. But it’s a cool little thing. I’m sure there’s more models out there that might appeal to you by other manufacturers but I’m happy with this one.
What do you mean? Early apps was all stuff like this that nobody used. Nowadays apps are useful fintech services and photo filter apps that cost less than a coffee per month and fun free games that everyone can play, isn’t that much better?

I’ve bought myself exactly one “nice” flashlight and it was a big shock seeing how good the tech has gotten since phones took that over in my life. Some Acebeam model with a ridiculous bulb and a convenient rechargeable AAA battery with a USB C port. It’s tiny and super neat.
While I haven’t bought multiple, I did buy more of the same model for family members to carry around. For what it’s worth I don’t really keep it on me, but if you carry a purse or whatever, a powerful finger-sized flashlight could definitely come in handy without being bulky.
I’ve actually written a bit about my gripes with the EDC subculture online, which is how I learned about the flashlight in the first place. TLDR is that there is a weird disconnect that can’t be ignored between a rational interest in preparedness and the phenomenon of online communities of users goading each other into buying more and more widgets, sometimes with financial incentives to make others buy things.
It’s not just flashlights, it’s a whole bunch of things. EDC is a rabbit hole of rabbit holes and while I do appreciate having a lot of options and reviews for said options I genuinely think it’s a consumerist disappointment if you zoom back out.
The Flintstones was originally an adult-oriented cartoon, and became seen as family friendly as time went on and more things became available on TV.
Its role was closer to the Simpsons when that was new, which also became more acceptable for younger people to watch over time.
I threw my fuzzy dice on the floor and 5 donuts is the absolute maximum donuts I’m allowed to eat today. Anything beyond that would just be unhealthy.
I don't disagree with any of the opinions you've taken the time to write out. I just think you're taking the phrase "fate worse than death" a little too literally. @[email protected] is understandably humanizing the "bad" parents a little, because they're in a hard position and aren't equipped to handle it (whether they should know better or not). And the Lemmy demographic (like the Reddit one we both come from) tends to look at anti-vax people as less than human. Most of them aren't quite as far gone as the people we see in this sub. I feel like "mildly"-convinced anti-vax parents, upon (understandably) getting treated like complete shit (which I agree is what they're behaving like), are primed to double down and triple down. I'm not sure that helps them come around.
My point was that the anti-vax social contagion is different in different places. There are echoes of Wakefield in the problem all over the world, but it's not a one-size-fits-all fix for a singular issue. I'm trying to add something to the conversation that I think makes a more fleshed out discussion. Our anti-vax problem is different than yours in a few ways. That's important, I think.
You really think a comment ending with "Sorry I work with a lot of autistic kids and they’re so sweet and don’t deserve bad parents 😭" is also literally saying these kids are better off dead than with said bad parents? I don't think you do. For what it's worth, I've also worked with autistic kids. I think they're precious kids just like any other. I certainly think they're better off alive.
If I may, Squid, I've seen you all over Lemmy since I joined when the API popped, and I think you might just be the most prolific early adopter of the Lemmyverse. I've probably upvoted a hundred of comments and posts you've made (and probably downvoted a handful). But I'll occasionally find you buried in a comment thread like this, stuck in a back and forth over absolutely nothing with someone that isn't even directly disagreeing with you. Reading too much into a common expression is a waste of both our time, wouldn't you think? I'm off Reddit and social media in general specifically to get away from that kind of thing, man. I don't mean to be patronizing but come on we both know there was nothing sinister to push back against here, besides the most mild of mildly abrasive language.
I’ve also wondered if there’s varieties. Maybe where I live, they’re different tasting and smelling? Broccoli has only ever been one of the vegetables to me. Nothing repulsive (or even noteworthy).
Even as a kid it was weird to see cartoon characters complain about specifically broccoli while I literally munched it while watching.
Now when it spoils, yes, it can get a little sulfury, as can cauliflower, its cousin. But fresh broccoli?
