If this happens and you don’t have heavy duty cleaners, try making a paste with baking soda, table salt, and water. A lot of times it’ll do the trick and get blemishes like this out of stainless.

I feel the same way but they probably aren’t targeting people like us. If 95% of people think this change is dumb and don’t download the app, there’s still 5% of people who’d consider downloading the app and it’d be a pretty significant number of people. It’s just my hunch that they removed the original gold subscriptions in order to remove the ability to go ad-free, brought it back as a mobile app-only thing to get more people on the app. IPO is coming up, any padding of the numbers will help, that kind of thing, even if it’s only a couple percent

I’m not gonna google the whole ‘GDP’ franchise/entity for hopefully obvious reasons but the ‘GDP’ franchise very well could be a verified account that creates content through exploitation and that being a very real possibility punches a hole in the effectiveness of attempting to moderate content by only allowing content derived from verified accounts. The article notes that the actual people reviewing flagged content can’t handle the sheer amount of flagged content so it’s likely they can’t handle verifying that content created by verified accounts isn’t content created through exploitation, so it’s probable once an account is verified it can just start sliding in all sorts of stuff that will go unchecked (as it apparently did in this case and others).

I just glazed over it but I’m pretty sure they took gold away and reintroduced it like this solely to get more people off the old desktop design and onto the mobile app

I’m union (USPS) and the only thing I’d ever do that would require me to go to the union is a schedule change, and the only reason for that is so the union can make sure I’m of sound mind and making this decision out of personal interest and not at the request/insistence of management - I have a schedule and any time worked outside of that is at time and a half, so if management wants me to change my hours for them, they gotta start paying me 50% more, or just give me overtime. Unions are cool

It’d be just as easy to slap the menu on the wall as opposed to a QR, but I’ve noticed a couple places near me that did this are constantly jacking up the prices an item or two at a time, so it probably helps to keep things flexible with QR as opposed to printing out a new menu every 3 weeks

Taking off my muddy shoes when I come into the house is simply impossible so I duct taped 4 leaf blowers to a roomba to clean all of the dried muddy shit all over the house. I’m pretty confident this isn’t going to cause future problems which will need future solutions.

Beef only refers to cow and pork only refers to pig, but poultry encompasses many species of fowl, and I think that the need for distinction is what led to people generally referring to poultry by the species. If you tell someone you’re having poultry for dinner the follow-up is usually ‘what kind?’, and if beef referred to the meat of any large domestic quadriped mammal and bison were more popular, we’d probably refer to it as ‘cow’, that kind of thing.

I got hooked on Pillars of Eternity (the original vanilla game), might be worth a look if you’re into top-down ‘Baldur’s Gate’ type RPGs. Big huge map, non-linear storyline, lots of things to find. Stats, items, classes, dialogue options that are often dependent on stats and choices affect the storyline. You can add NPCs/hirelings to your party - play through by unlocking and adding the regular NPCs and wind up with a conventional group (dude with shield, healer, damage dealers), or try to get through as a Rogue with a bunch of ranged damage dealer Cipher hirelings to snipe the hard targets. Play through choosing ‘evil’ dialogue options, or try to get through solo without adding anyone else to your party (there are achievements and one of them is to run through solo, some others are playing through without main character dying, or playing through with a lot of UI targetting helpers and tooltips disabled).

My last playthrough I was running through to try to get the Triple Crown Solo achieve (solo/no dying/‘hard mode’ toggled) and had a second playthrough without ‘no dying’ toggled, so I’d crawl through the story a little on the ‘dying allowed’ file until I was confident I could advance a bit on the triple crown save, then jump to that file and advance the story. Ultimate time waster.

I’ve played through it a half a dozen times easily, each time it plays out different and I wind up discovering a lot of things I must’ve missed in prior playthroughs. It’s the kind of game you can dive into until you’re kind of bored with it, then weeks/months later you’re looking through your Steam library, glance at it, think of maybe trying to get through as a Paladin, and next thing you know you’re hours into yet another playthrough.

A lot of republicans consider dying in a farm accident at the age of 14 to be a rite of passage into adulthood.

I never use my phone in bed - before bed I’ll be on the couch using it, and when I go to sleep I plug it in at a table in my bedroom across the room from my bed. I have do not disturb set up an hour before bed so I don’t get caught up in looking at notifications and crap but whitelisted a bunch of names for texts so if they text twice it pops up. Hour before bed notifications dry up, finish my thing, set alarm, plug in phone, go to bed, if some group text keeps lighting up the phone I might mute that too

I think that’s their plan - everyone will be on reddit bashing F5 and trying to build protest banners and stuff, and admins will be sitting there writing over everything. They’ll get huge traffic and it won’t be a dumpster fire

If you’re planning on replacing that painted over lock the easiest way to go about is grab a 1/16" drill bit, put a key up to it, note the orientation of the ridged part of the key, that side has the pins. Stick drill straight in, drill through the pins. Take 3/32" drill bit, aim right where you were previously aiming, drill that out. Scrape what you can out of there with a seal pick, might pull out a few springs etc, but once the pins are drilled out you can turn it with a screwdriver. Key lines up the pins so it can turn freely, but without pins it’ll turn freely, that kind of thing

It’s a strange way to go about it though - I used to have Gold and thought giving awards was kinda neat, cancelled it and got off Reddit, but if I was still on Reddit I’d probably cancel due to the change, and if I left Reddit and totally forgot to cancel Gold all the news of the change would remind me to get around to canceling it. I think it’d be better for them to either do this after IPO or at least elaborate on the future subscription structure right when they announce the change to drum up some hype.

Kinda reminds me of how Beanie Babies imploded back in the late 90s - they started retiring Beanie Babies which had collectors in a frenzy, things were awesome, then they decided to retire every Beanie Baby without announcing any future plans for the company, in hopes of really sustaining that scarcity mentality that had been going on for years, but instead people panicked at the impending collapse of interest in Beanie Babies after production was to cease, so everyone flooded the market with their collections, and a few months later they announced an entire new series of Beanie Babies, far too late, and any collectors that remained felt it was a slap in the face. If they straight up announced a new generation with different colored tags and some shit when they announced retiring every first generation Beanie Baby they probably could’ve milked it for another couple of years at least

By that I meant more along the lines that I’d never voluntarily go outdoors for anything. I used to schedule my grocery shopping and laundry so that I could wake up on my day off of work and play World of Warcraft in a dark room for 14 hours straight, I was that kind of person.

But I totally agree that cars are horrible. Tire dust is the leading source of microplastics, motor vehicle incidents are the leading cause of death in adolescents, a leading cause of preventable death in general (obesity is one the top causes), average car payment is >700 bucks nowadays despite median savings of people aged 45-54 is close to 5000 bucks, not to mention the sprawl that makes not having a car difficult to say the least.

A bicycle. It was kind of a stupid purchase for me because when I got it I wasn’t really into doing exercise or outdoor stuff. 900 dollar on clearance gravel bike back in March 2019. I wound up living on that thing, worked my way up to a 160 mile solo gravel ride by September 2019, biked to work in 2020, got into running in 2021, ran a 50K in 2022, now I run to and from work. I put 10,000 miles on that bike in 2 years, explored my city/greater metro area until I ran out of things to explore, pretty awesome impulse purchase
