  • I love Iceland. Wish I could move there.

  • My wife has been trying different meds for months with her doctor and so far nothing has helped. I really hope she finds the right one that can make her feel like you describe. :-/

  • Just wanted to comment and say Lemmy baseball fan here! There are dozens of us, dozens! Also not in IT and I don’t use Linux but here I am. I feel like an imposter on Lemmy.

  • Is it just me, or did the orb leader sound like Jeffrey Combs?

  • If only this guy knew what was involved in certifying stuff under the current USMCA agreement. It is not nearly as simple as slapping a ‘Made in Mexico’ label on it. There are a strict set of rules that involve classifying every item in a BOM and having values of them with rules about what goods can shift and what the values thresholds are for each component. It’s part of what I do every day for work. Too much non-US, CA, or MX content that doesn’t tariff shift and you can’t get duty free entry.

  • Wheatley, Trip

  • I managed to get a Steelcase chair off Craigslist for a great price and it has changed my home office life. I could sit in that chair 24/7 and still be comfortable. And they replaced a broken part for free even though I wasn’t the original buyer.

  • Yeah lockdown was living my best life. At least I managed to get a fully remote job with a small company several states away.

  • I definitely see where you’re coming from. At the same time I don’t tend to get involved in deep discussions where I have strong feelings, on the Internet. I save those for in-person with friends.

    I guess I am just very sensitive to tone and (what comes across to me as) arrogant people, and I have downvoted obnoxious comments on all sides of an argument before. I try to be aware of my bias, but nobody’s perfect.

    Of course YMMV, but I find blocking people like that (especially on Discord) make my Internet experience much more pleasant.

  • I tend to downvote obnoxious comments, or ones that it’s clear the commenter is in love with the ‘sound’ of their own voice. I tend to leave the ‘carefully considered’ ones alone because they add to the conversation unless they stray too far into the above categories.

  • I do French Press, where does that put me?

  • Always loved me some Mara Jade and Talon Karrde.

  • I’m a lurker. Vegetarian myself but my wife is vegan.

  • Yep, I have no idea how people are able to afford stuff like that! Some of our friends have these crazy hobbies and go out to eat all the time, multiple cruises a year, etc. Meanwhile a ‘date night’ for us is Chipotle and DVDs of whatever show we are watching that we borrowed from the Library. That is the only way we can afford our modest one side of a duplex. And I feel like I make ok money but I guess everyone we know just makes so much more, or we are just very strict with our budgeting and credit usage.

  • I charge by Bluetooth headphones ‘pod’ with my Steam Deck charger and it seems to be ok.

  • Iceland or Finland. Love both of those places, from the people to the landscape.

  • I just say it the way it is - ‘Oh that is Travis’ shoe’

    I added the apostrophe for writing it, but I don’t say the name any different.

  • I was rocking one of these plugged into an mp3 player circa 2007-2010.
