Not really. Checked it a couple of times, but I'm sticking with Lemmy. Don't miss it, don't need it.

I never thought it was a valid business model for a variety of reasons. All these companies want to be the next Uber, but Uber itself has never been profitable, so how you expect a worse business model to do better financially is beyond me.

I remember this one! Laighed my ass at the time and remains funny.

According to my sloppy google maps guesstimate, this appears to be true. Florida-West Africa seems slightly further than Maine-Northwest Africa

I started having pangs in my lungs around the heart area (like a stinging pain) which went away when I didn't vape for a day. Also, while not having a wheezing breath, I did feel strain on my lungs. It got bad enough that I went back to cigarettes as those only made me cough (well, amongst other side effects of course).

I quit smoking/vaping last year after 22 years of that. Vaping helped my lungs, to a certain extent, because I started having so many other issues from vaping, I switched back to cigarettes before quitting for good. I quit using Defumoxan, which is a brand name for generic pills with Cytisine as active substance. I've been recommending it to anyone wanting to take back their life from nicotine addiction. At least where I live, you can get it without prescription.

I think Ryobi is perfect for as an entry tool. If you break it from overuse, then buy a high quality product. But if it's the first time buying a tool where you don't know how often you will use it, Ryobi is perfectly fine to get started with and fmailiarize yourself with it.

I can understand your need for privacy, even though I don't go to similar lengths myself. That being said, I always prefer the way forward instead of shutting new technology out. I don't have the answer to how that would translate to your situation specifically, but a privacy minded android or linux os with a prepaid sim card could go a long way.

Decimal time was introduced in Revolutionary France, just like the metric system and a decimal calendar. They made it non-mandatory after 17 months, partly because of the enormous costs to replace all clocks. The decimal calendar survived longer and was abolished by Napoleon as part of his reconciliation strategy with the Catholic church.

Decimal time is still used by the way. Astronomers use fractional days because it's easier to do calculations with. And that very same ease of use is why Microsoft Excel uses fractional dates to calculate dates, as it requires less calculations.

Yes, it's going to be called Sync for Lemmy and preregistration opened two days ago. It most likely will still be some weeks before it becomes available. Ljdawson stated the target is 6 weeks, so that would be somewhere in the middle of August.
