Not crazy... just stupid.

$100 is a far cry from what I would call "budget"

I bought a Kyocera brand of this model over a decade ago and I still use it often as my only coffee grinder. Simple and functional design. Easy to adjust courseness with a simple nut on a screw. Not much here to break other than the rim of the glass jar when I have hit it with the ceramic burr. But the jars are the standard canning jar size and are easy to replace or swap with something bigger.

I spent almost $30 on mine back in the day. But Kyocera is a japanese company. Looks like the product has been cloned by several chinese companies now and is going for almost half what I paid. Of course the quality could be lower than mine, but it is a really simple design, so I don't think I'd worry about it. If I needed another, I'd buy one of these off brand versions.

Also.. I've made grind for everything from french press, cold brew and super fine for espresso with this grinder. I started with a fancy electric one which died in a few years, but never replaced it because spending a couple minutes grinding manually helps wake you up as well.

Perhaps... but once a certain amount of people left DIGG for reddit back in the day, the whole thing quickly fell apart. I mean, yea, DIGG still exists and I assume there are people who still use it, but I've never met one since I left it about 15 years ago.

Its not like the API issue is the only reason, much less the main reason people want to leave reddit. A lot of people have been wanting to do it for a long time now, it is only that there haven't been any other options with a crowd big enough to hold a conversation beyond only a few people. There is a big chance that that is now changing.

Aloe. The easiest. Can forget to water it for weeks. Doesn't need a large amount of light. And it is a useful crop.

I once bought a metal wash tub, put it on my porch, added sand, rocks, plants, fish and water... and called it a pond. It is pretty easy to do.

Anything that will hold water for a couple weeks will have tadpoles in it pretty quick.

There have been a few stories about some companies getting punished for not going along with this plan of selling this private information. Like I think Qwest for example. This was over a decade ago, so I don't remember all the details that clearly.

Reddit back before mods and subs and everything was self-moderated was certainly peak reddit. You're nuts if you think that will ever happen again.

I think most of them I'd be using on windows as well. Like blender, gimp, krita, librewolf, libreoffice, thunderbird, virtualbox, etc.. etc.. etc.. Although it was 15 years ago I had switched to mostly open source applications in the years prior to eventually switching to linux entirely.

Gimp is a quality program... but I agree that it is hard to relearn when you've gotten use to photoshop for almost 3 decades.

Although Krita is a high quality illustration program. I try harder to motivate my self to learn that.

There is also abiword for a relatively lighter weight word processor that handles doc files. Although I also lean to using a text editor most of the time. Right now my favorite is kate.
