Ahh true. I do have outdoor pots for mine and natural sunlight. My grow tent houses herbs like basil that I use year round.

My local grocery store sells tomatoes starting at $3.99/lb.

A pack of seeds was $1.50 and my plants are 2-4' tall and loaded.

Yeah, Lemmy is pretty small. Even I miss the massive subreddits or moreso the small niche ones.

I will point out that Reddit is roughly 20 years old and that audience took time to grow. I don't really want Lemmy to grow that much because it does bring the riffraff that plaged reddit, but it is pretty lonely out here in the corner of the internet. I do find myself refreshing apps hoping for new content quite often.

Just searched my car and "for sale" and browsed what popped up.

Just looked up my car on used car sites. Someone is selling the same make and model as mine for $200 less than I paid back in 2007.

In the back of my head there's a voice telling me if I could sell mine for what I bought and it'd be like a free car all these years, usual maintenance stuff excluded. That's be a kick-ass deal! But then I'd be out an extremely reliable car.

Less of a problem now.

Also, even for such an expensive-ass pineapple, it really was darn tasty. Maybe I lucked out, but it was second place only to ones I've had in Thailand.

Absolutely nowhere in the article was that mentioned or credited to the decreases. Road design, police/camera enforcement, and ebike/scooter speed caps were.

has been the best and most productive in the history of communication between the leaders.

Maybe I'm just a skeptic, but I don't believe for a second that was Zelenskyy. Perhaps he was, um, encouraged to say talking points or part of the deal was to flatter Donny Dumbass. Maybe in a use-this-secret-phrase-to-kiss-my-ass-and-i'll-help kind of deal.

Glad Zelenskyy has support again though.

I used to think that too, but it's day 144 and still no tomatoes!

(Referencing a meme for those who are confused)

That's the route I took too. NAS for storage and simple docker containers, Minipc for compute/GPU.

I just got a cheap minipc to tinker with and it had windows 11. Not bad and unexpected.

First thing I did was wipe and install Ubuntu of course because that's what I wanted.

Most Americans don't want to do this work.

Well, yeah. Excuse the generalizations, but we don't live 6 to an apartment or farm housing and ship our wages back home where the dollar goes further. We have to survive here long term and farmers don't pay COL, savings, and retirement.

Americans don't do this because it's a bad deal.

Bitwarden/vaultwarden is a popular option for selfhosters.

Just pointing out that housing is so absurd in that area, parking spaces are housing in many of those areas. I drive through and the roads are lined with campers and RV's from all the tech workers grabbing their bag of gold after a couple years and bugging off somewhere cheap.

If it takes a whole 60 seconds for this glorified camera-carwash contraption to scan a vehicle and generate a report, they are charging $11,400/hour.

Hertz, I will personally sit on a roller stool with a camera and make beep boop sounds for that dough. Take my resume.

Me neither. But eventually I'll be forced to somehow too.

Really sounds like this database is based primarily on biometrics obtained during legal immigration and travel.

I wonder how it will identify those who came through illegal means? Unless that's totally not the point. Hmmm...

Meanwhile our plastic bag tax has pretty much eliminated paper bags and raked in fortunes in profits on plastic bags.

Y'all ain't seeing the bigger plan here like Republicans do.

We gotta make th next Taliban now so we have someone to go to war with in 20 years. War is profitable and will make America strong again after Democrats unfuck this pig. Then Republicans can swoop in and claim the credit!

/S of course.

We're so fucked these assholes are in charge.

While I do think CoveredCA needs a healthy (pun intended) fine, tech companies need need a serious grilling for taking this info. Not just the cost of business crap that's handed out for getting caught.

More importantly, WE need resources to notify, find and curate or revoke data about us! Start putting that in settlement clauses; I don't care about my $3.20 gift card left over and split from a class action win.
