I recently picked up a 13 year old dell inspiron to run my instance of home assistant and Plex. It was an upgrade from a shitty old Linux laptop that was literally falling apart. All I had to do was add ram (it only had 6gb and it wasn’t stable, so I maxed it out with 16gb) and I swapped the old slow HDD for a crucial SATA SSD and it’s been perfect. It probably pulls more wattage than necessary but it’s exactly what I need for now.
My super automatic espresso machine. Dead simple to use and so much cheaper than operating a keurig. I bought it because I’m awful at real coffee machines and need to have a single serve option. Being able to use whole beans has made it pay for itself in the 3 years I’ve had it.
Oh yea. If fascism doesn’t kill us, AI will. We’re all fucked and we’ve known it since skynet entered the American psyche.
This is what I do. I don’t like the ingredients that make up antiperspirants so I stick with not stinking.
I generally don’t sweat too badly either, which helps.
Oh right, the person i described would never be a republican. Likely not a democrat either, but infinitely more likely to be.
I don’t want someone that ‘votes their convictions 100%’ any more than I want a party hardliner. That’s just a different kid of zealot. I want people that lead with their convictions and then vote contextually with a willingness to change, grow, and adapt.
Shredded kind. I was pretty disappointed since they weren’t exactly cheap. Worked really well for my ex wife though.
Wish I could crank my 401k. But I’m already having to work a second job to make ends meet. I’ve been sorely tempted to get that 4% back in my pocket for about a year now.
Grocery stores largely don’t have anti-theft sensors. Some in some very bad parts of town might, but for the most part if there’s self-checkout you can walk out with just about anything. Liquor I think will be the most common exception.
Typically the easiest way to get the five finger discount is to ring something up as an item that charges per pound that’s significantly cheaper than the item you’re buying. Closest I’ve done to that is to buy two donuts but only ring up one lol. I’m too much of a rule follower and anxious about getting caught.
And you def won’t go to jail for light shoplifting. Though some places like Walmart or Target track you and don’t do anything until you’re at a felony level of theft. So if you do steal, best not to do it repeatedly at the same store.
And my 11 axes!
I’ve tried a couple and they give me the worst migraines. I just can’t do them. :(
Seconding the vacuum sealer.
I’m still frustrated by the sorting on lemmy and still have to use top 24 hour to feel like my feed is current. I feel like I don’t get breaking news as quickly as I did on Reddit a that frustrates me and leads me to lurk /r/all occasionally.
Mastadon has all the content I want but no people in the places I’m at. Feels very empty.
Out of curiosity, are you still a practicing Mormon?
I wanna do this and use it for my home assistant server.
How’d you find it on Amazon?
I’ll check them out! But I have had hopes of getting a full set of Made-In pans in both stainless and carbon. But that’s a pretty far off goal lol.
Oh yea 💯
It’s just gonna take a while. My PITI is 3350/month.
I wanna try carbon steel! Just haven’t wanted to drop the cash on it yet lol.
I really love my stainless pans though
God I wish my mortgage was cheaper than rent lol.
I use the Philips EP3221/44
I paid $700 for it but it’s available on places like Amazon $400.
Works great, minimal maintenance, and makes good enough coffee. The milk frother is fine but you won’t be making any latte art with it.
