I’m replaying Baldurs Gate for the first time in, what, 20 yrs? EE. As old and basic as the game is, I can either tap the tab key once to flash a silent light up of everything lootable in the room and leave it at that. Or. There’s a button to click on the side bar that just leaves it on all the time.
This is the way. I don’t want to go all Witcher or do that god awful Dragon Age 3 search with that pulse noise. No annoyance. No sprained pinky. Just one click and done.
Wait. Why does it have ads? Aren’t you paying them for an ad free experience? If not, what’s the point?
Because people aren’t broke enough.
GrapheneOS. Faraday bags. Depends on you and how far you want to take it. And how much you like and rely on dynamic maps.
It’s cool when these companies get subpoenaed. Then we all know exactly what data they keep.
Proton had a recent subpeona they had to honor. All the data they had was yes, the dude has an email here. But no content. Granted, if you’re exchanging with a gmail account, it’s moot, for those exchanges anyway.
This is really simple. Use Signal or WIRE. Proton or maybe Tutanota for email.
Avoid garbage like Telegram and FB Messenger. Discord as well.
Steam, Kindle, Audible, what was that movies site?
FB is also threatening bans for posting any links to it.
I need a bot then. I click through 7-8 of those and still don’t pass.
Both are meh compared to home. Dough is flour water yeast. Touch of corn meal for roll out. Add time. That’s it. Cheap and easy.
Reclaim the Pizza Hut crust of 30 years ago by preheating a #8 or larger iron skillet with oil in it, carefully dropping in your rolled out crust, making sure it has a nice edge, and building your pizza. And your crust won’t taste as sugary as subway bread.
You have money to spare, pizza oven for the thin crust.
Dominos is better these days if you have to choose.
No. Memmy + Apple. I can put up to 5 spaces between paragraphs and I’ll still get what looks like a 1.2 space between paragraphs every time.
Dealing with PC lemmy is work so I stick with the app on the phone.
Spaces between paragraphs don’t really show on Memmy and walls of text suck.
Whatever works, I’ll try it.
In the kids case, that’s a staffing issue. Most lockdown mental health facilities have a tech/CNA whose sole job it is to walk around and log the location and state of every patient every 9-15min, depending on policy. In addition to the techs/CNAs who herd everyone to group, meals, and all the rest. In addition to mental health staff that run the groups. In addition to nurses who do meds and assessments. In addition to “orderlies”, not big men in white like in movies, who tackle people these days, but people with intense training in deescalation.
.
In the elder case, that is often a staffing issue. If it’s day shift and you have more than 6 residents assigned to you, that’s a staffing and/or state level regulation issue. If it’s evening shift and you have more than 8 residents assigned to you, that’s a staffing and/or state regulation issue. But yes, declining mental health (dementia) and brain deterioration (Alzheimer’s) is part of elder care. Sometimes it’s the sole reason they’re placed in a home, because that decline in brain capacity requires 24h care.
.
A lot of health care jobs would be absolutely ok if they were actually safe for both patients and staff. But corporate greed often doesn’t allow for that.
Staffing matters. And it often will be ignored until the state mandates a law that requires the corporate owners to do better.
Bingo. Temu and Aliexpress. Same site, really.
Woodpecker or the item you can freely drop on the concrete floor without crying due to loss of investment.
The second hand market is 80% suck since 2021 or so. Everyone wants retail for their shit. And goodwill has decided to be “the last reseller” and priced accordingly.
.
People want to sell their beat up tools for $10 less than the full warranty with returns tool (router, brad nailer, palm sander, belt sander, recently, different sellers.) a plug in craftsman belt sander as old as my dad and you want what now?
.
Shirts. Even the best thrift store will have a $7-8 minimum on a used shirt. Meanwhile, I can get 2 for $10-12 on Amazon, new, with returns.
.
Photo paper is an uncommon thrift. Though I found two 5x7 packs for $1 each this year. They were in a box with wrapped postits and index cards so I think someone was confused.
.
Remember, time is a commodity. Killing a day and coming out empty handed isn’t for everyone.
Harbor Freight.
That’s going to catch some people, especially older ones.
WIRE or Signal. Granted, convincing your people to move with you is like trying to get an act of Congress in play.
And it’s a Georgia vote so it matters.
