Interesting. So it sounds like a chunk of the infrastructure cost is actually passed on to third-party sellers (warehouse fees and admin work) rather than Amazon assuming those costs themselves.

Probably has a lot to do with the position of your arm as well i.e. elbow bent, arm straight out front, to the side like a T-pose, disembodied arm being fixed and twisted in a macabre "science" machine, etc.

I'm a proud leg washer. I make sure to personally attend to everything on my bod and that means legs, between the cheeks, and soles of my feet.

Good on you, mate. I certainly won't be spreading this factoid around anymore!

Huh, TIL. To be frank I was just parroting some tidbit I heard last time this was posted. Now I don't know what to believe

"Solid dick" was slang for "hard truth" back in the time when this issue was published

I get what you're saying - that we don't have a "karma" score associated with our username - but the votes do drive what people see first when they view a particular community or the "front page" so they do matter.

Anyone know a good way to source reapers locally or online without growing them myself? I like the flavor.

One time I saw a ghost. I will not elaborate.

Even more forced since Place was originally a surprise April fool's event and iirc was brought back for a subsequent April fool's due to popular demand. Whipping it out in the middle of July really just reeks of desperation, especially considering the current situation.

Google "Best vacuum cleaner"

Top 6 hits: "We evaluated the 5 brands that paid us the most and found that they all suck up your dirt. We can't really speak ill of any of them because this is an ad and we signed a contract. Please use our embedded links so we can have more money."

I mean if she respects you wife she's probably not going to agree to date you (polyamory aside) so I guess he's out of line, but he's right.

This is the kind of stuff I love to read about. Very cool

I'm very close to finishing The Sound and the Fury. It has lived up to it's reputation of being opaque and difficult. Really more of a checklist book for me.

I am about midway through Neurotribes. It's interesting, but has been slow going.

I'm finally picking up steam on my second read of Infinite Jest. Even better than the first time around.

I am about midway through Anathem. Neal Stephenson is a gifted writer, but for some reason I really lost traction on this one after I got through the world building and into the actual narrative.

I am also nearly done with my second read of American Gods. I have it on audiobook this time. Really enjoying the ensemble cast. It's a good story and I enjoy Gaiman's narrative style.

Idk why but ever since my youth I've never been able to focus on just one book at a time.

Cooking! You don't need to be a Michelin-star chef (or even aspire to be) but if you can make your own meals regularly you can save so much money. It's a great way to bond with your kids, too!

Also, maybe it's weird to say, but 'learning' is an incredibly valuable skill that Will see you through a lot of hardship. The ability and drive to continue learning and having curiosity late into life makes people healthier, happier, and more well-rounded persons in my opinion.

I was blown away the first time I stumbled upon KDEConnect. It just... Worked. Completely, easily, and with an incredible feature set compared for free software

It's trending down as the overall amount of dead humans continues to grow proportionally with the current population. No matter how many humans are born they will eventually die and add to the total; even with a massive and sustained baby boom the ratio of alive humans to dead humans will still, eventually, reach zero.

Are we still doing "woosh" here?
