Why would owl post even exist when you have magic? Clearly just ambiance. Makes no sense.

How many millions of muggle deaths are on the hands of wizards who could have trivially healed them but didn't? Why does no one seem to care about that? Especially the muggle borns.

You might really enjoy reading HPMOR. It's the best fanfic I've ever read. Technically it's the only fanfic I've ever read, but it's great.

Try five chapters and you'll live it or give up.

Language settings. If you set one to English it blocks "undefined" posts.

Also possibly your sorting order is different and it just looks like posts are missing.

I gave up on complicated Wi-Fi passwords. Who am I keeping out? To connect they'd need to be in or right next to my house anyway. 🤷‍♂️

The admin password on the router is intense though.

You take occasional breaks.

Hospitals tell new parents: "take care of yourself before your kid" because you can't help others if you're a train wreck, and new parents will often forget to eat or sleep themselves.

Same goes for staying informed. Take your break, come back stronger.

I love your soup filled bread bowl, but there's no pizza in that picture.

You're saying it doesn't make sense that we use people closest to the problem to address the problem?

They're not saviors, they can't be the only ones doing it. But to not use them would be idiotic.

Same with the swastika and a bunch of other symbols. Yet what can you do

Computing is only political if you don't want the government in your machine

 

Our town's water keeps failing to meet DEP standards, so I'm investing in a filtration system for our drinking water. What I think I'm looking for is:

  • Has a tank, since there are 5 of us
  • Filters out lead, PFAS, PFOA, etc. (Which is why I'm leaning towards RO)
  • Good warranty and customer service, for when something inevitably goes wrong
  • Remineralization (picky about water taste)
  • UV (maybe?)

Does anyone have recommendations for a quality brand, or one that they've had for years that they like? I'm not sure where to even start.

 

I'm looking for an inexpensive label maker that can print small labels. I need to label various things around my house for my sanity (outlet/breaker mapping, coax endpoint mapping, etc).

I was going to buy a NIIMBOT D110, but then I saw in their FAQ that they put an IC (chip) into their labels and the printer won't print if it can't sense it. I really don't want to support a company that DRMs their consumables, if I can help it.

Can anyone recommend a good, small, inexpensive label maker? Preferably one that doesn't have sketchy DRM embedded.

 

I was reading about how the EU is thinking of reducing the lead used in ammunition because it's polluting the environment. I wonder if regular lead exposure at the firing range is addling people's brains.

 

Exercise is hitting. My brain gives up way before my body does. Even when I try and listen to music or watch shows while exercising, I just can't keep at it.

Has anyone found an ADHD friendly way to exercise?

 

A fine specimen indeed

 

I know it was a thing on reddit, but how does everyone feel about peeing on your compost? Apparently it really helps, but I've never brought myself to do it.

 

Has anyone created their own instance and modified it? How about the same for the Android client? There are some features I'm desperately missing and I'm not against DIY.
