I found this article. My takeaways were:

1. No driving in bus lanes during certain times of day.
2. No using the shoulder as a turn lane.
3. No using a bike lane as a turn lane.

I think lack of goodwill plays into this, too. A lot of smaller sites can get away with stuff like "OK guys, the servers aren't free, so we need to run ads." and then have people super thrilled with them if there's an option to limit or disable ads for donors.

On reddit, I think the attitude would basically be "get fucked, spez!"

Ha, fair enough. It is an admirable sentiment either way.

Torn between up voting the sentiment and down voting politics - I really don't think this counts as a tech endeavor.

I see the same thing, 404. Maybe a federation issue between lemmy.world and lemmit.online?

I see !bestofuserupdates@lemmy.world, !bestupdates@lemmy.world, and !best_of_post_updates@lemmy.world, but they haven't seen any activity in quite a while.

Some memes called loss, they go the house??!!

Two of my favorites are one-pot chicken riggies and baked ziti

O...kay? I never said you HAD a responsibility to buy MH Wilds. I'm really not sure where your vehement reaction is coming from.

Ah, yep, def when they called it Firefox.

Well, sure. Even Russia still has elections.

Indeed. This is 100% on management for not prioritizing PC and rushing the release dates. Cheaping out is right, lazy...not so much IMO.

This was essentially my same reaction to that comment. All I can think is that they imagined that this post said something like "Firefox bad because DEI CEO!" and reacted without actually reading the post.

Which ... I mean, given the world we currently live in, is probably being said somewhere. But on this post, it's a HECK of a non-sequitur.

basically when it was first released

Ah, back in the Mozilla Phoenix days? Or shortly after the Firebird->Firefox rename?

I had leftovers for dinner tonight. My wife and I had planned on having salmon and oven-roasted potatoes and peppers, but we still had a lot of leftovers from cooking during the week.

Sorry, ‘flue’ is just my incompetence at using the English language

No, don't apologize; your command of English is far superior to my grasp of German!

(about all I can say is: "Ich spreche nicht Deutsch" and "Sprechen sie Englisch?" -- and when I put those phrases into Google Translate to check myself, I found that I had the wrong word for 'Englisch' -- I thought it was something like Anglit!)

Oh, I think that advice comes from a good place, it's just misguided. People look at it and say "your partner shouldn't be your cash cow".

OTOH, I think it's important for both people to be contributing to the household financially. That helps keep a certain balance in the relationship even if it's just a token amount.

I think it's more important that they come up with a system that they both think is fair. If moving in together leaves one person feeling like they're being taken for a ride, it'll wreck the relationship.

My wife and I lived together for a bit back when we were dating. We did some math:

Combined rent + $savings = my old rent + her old rent

Then we split the combined rent roughly 1/3 - 2/3 (my salary was higher than hers at the time) so that we were both paying less than we had been before.

We split utilities 50/50 which was kind of a mistake IMO -- I regret the accounting chore that it created. One of us would pay the rent by hand (USA, so paper check to the landlord), but utilities were on auto-pay from my account. We'd have to tally up utilities and add it or subtract it to the rent in order to reimburse the other person when they paid the rent.

Instead of that nonsense, I'd suggest estimating your utilities and split that figure 50/50 - then maybe look at it again once a year in case costs change.

What does Puerto Rico have to do with this?

really fucking pedantic

I guess I am. Reading is reading. Listening is listening. I'm not a fan of "reading means reading or listening, depending on whether the thing you're listening to is labeled 'audiobook'".

Communication is easier when we agree on what the words actually mean.

People who listen to audiobooks usually call it reading, IME.
