  • That's mildly concerning! There are risks associated with using less-than food-grade CO2 in beverages.

  • Get yourself a countertop carbonator like a Sodastream or Drinkmate.

    I have a Drinkmate, and they have a CO2 cylinder exchange program where you can get a heavy discount on more cylinders by returning the empty ones beforehand (prepaid shipping label included with cylinder packs.)

    Other than the initial cost of the machine and any additional cylinders you want (I have a total of five, so I can install the last one and ship back four empties for a coupon, but that's probably a little overkill for one person), the ongoing cost is reasonable. I make 1-2L of soda water pretty much every day and I get a little over a month out of each cylinder. Works out to less than $15 a month for me.

  • (The person you're replying to isn't the OP)

  • Slightly further down in the article:

    The transfer of Secret Service agents is [...] made possible by the reduced travel schedule of Mr Biden after he dropped out of the election race, according to a report in The New York Times. The reassigned officers were responsible for either travelling with Mr Biden, or going in advance of him to set up security measures at an event, a source told the newspaper.

  • He was a draft dodger, so I suppose in some capacity you could view this as that cowardice catching up with him.

  • You're trolling at this point, right? You have a Boxxy profile picture and yet you're confused about the dynamics of social media?

  • It's not "starting" Sep 15, the arbitration agreement was in effect in their previous ToS as well. If you were an existing Etsy user at the time of that ToS your 30-day opt-out period has already passed.

    New users still have a 30-day opt-out period as well (see sections G and H.)

  • Congratulations, maybe you're already using my trick then. Not sure what your comment was meant to add.

    From Windows 10 on, the default is to automatically restart when you're not using it, which can be annoying if you've got a complex workspace going and then everything gets closed overnight

  • You can pause Windows update for a little over a month at a time so that you're not surprised by any automatic restarts, FYI

  • With such genius gems as "bigrant crime" he's probably trying to smash "black" onto her name after the whole "she suddenly became black" horseshit

  • This is good news, but we cannot get complacent! Plan to vote! And if you are really motivated, try to convince at least one other person to vote!

  • Doing the whole "you're downvoting me so I must be right" bit is pretty immature all on its own tbh

  • It has the possibility to be like anything else, I cannot say whether it is or not. but it's more that I would prefer to move in a direction towards people thinking more critically about the news they consume, and MBFC is offering to shortcut that process, which I don't like

  • (Haven't used Ground News but have seen some adverts for it)

    I like the concept Ground News claims to be going for, which is just listing all the different media outlets reporting on a story so that the reader can do what they will with the additional context. I'm not as OK with media bias fact check, and if Ground News is trying to integrate it in some way on their service, I don't think that's good either. the whole point of Ground News seemed to me to be trying to explicitly NOT tell the reader what to think about a given article, and MBFC would undermine that IMO

  • I had the misfortune of working with that guy before he went mask-off. weird fucking dude who couldn't stop hitting on the women in the office

    Not that it justifies or excuses anything at all, but I definitely think there's a pipeline from the, like, Joe Rogan / Andrew Tate segment of the toxic manosphere that leads down this path. There are probably opportunities to save some of these people before their craving for attention leads them to hate
