Well now you're not making any sense. I don't see "tankie" comments because I don't subscribe to or browse political communities. Yet I see plenty of posts and complaints about said users in non-political communities. Check where we are right now. We're in a meme community. Of course if I subscribe to meme communities, I'll see posts and comments like this. It's not that complicated to understand.
It started off fantastic, but then the bike lane abruptly ended (not even?) halfway through and then the biker had to dangerously ride into the road with all of the other cars. This isn't great bike infrastructure. It was only like that for a small area. The rest was non-existent bike infrastructure. Don't get me wrong...the small area where it was present was amazing...but if you want to bike to commute places then it's likely not going to cover where you're going. Beautiful city, though.
I don't understand what OP is asking either, even with the upvoted response to your comment. What do Mississippi license plates look like?
I live in a different state, and we have the option to have either our state's motto on our plate, or the county that we live in. I chose the county that I live in. When I drive around, I see many others displaying the county that they live in as well. Is Mississippi's system similar to this? I don't understand why it would be a hassle on the part of the state to print different license plates for different people. They already do that anyway.... I don't get how that would be using excessive resources.
When I have to renew my vehicle registration, it is either done online, within kiosks at certain grocery stores, or at a government building within the county I live. It doesn't seem like a confusing or weird system at all to me. But again, I don't know how it works in Mississippi.
I mean I just never ended up subscribing to political communities, so I never see any political related things anyway. If you only subscribe to meme and lighthearted communities, you're not likely to run into that stuff. Your comparison of it being a "Nazi bar" doesn't work. I've never been someone who browsed the "all" category of Reddit, and I've not been inclined to do that here on Lemmy, either. So no, you often won't see that sort of thing unless you're browsing by all communities.
When choosing an instance, it is not necessarily overtly advertised as such. It's just one of the largest instances, so many "regular" people are obviously going to pick it. New users are not going to be intimately familiar with the elaborate politics of federated Lemmy servers upon first arrival. It would be a bit bizarre to expect them to be.
I agree with the one user who stated that modern phones are too goddamn big.
I've had Samsung's Z Flip5 for over a year now and I've been really enjoying it. Small form factor when folded that actually freaking fits in women's pockets. And when unfolded, I have a case with a ring that helps me hold it and reach higher up on the screen. Honestly, I would like if it was a bit smaller when opened, but it's a fun compromise.
It doesn't seem to fit in with what you want though, as it doesn't have a headphone jack and isn't going to be as durable as a regular phone. Still, it's fun and I like it!
I managed to assemble and mount a 100 inch projector screen up into the wall all by myself. It's definitely meant for two people to hoist it up there lol. I did some very wonky things to actually get it up onto the wall so I hope it stays up there haha!
I had never heard of this so I had to Google. It seems the advantages you are talking about don't all necessarily apply if your water heater is outside then, right? I mean, I guess it'll be a bit more energy efficient, but cooling and dehumidifying effects are only if the water heater is indoors, correct? There is not a system to do any sort of interior cooling for outdoor water heaters, no?
Forgive me if these are stupid questions. I hadn't heard about this type of water heater before. I live in a hot climate, but my water heater is in an outdoor storage closet.
Yeah this is my only issue with refurb electronics. Imo they are often a fantastic option because people are too scared to purchase something used. BUT the biggest problem is battery degradation. For that reason, I would actually avoid most refurbished phones, laptops, and tablets. That is...unless they are either relatively new release models (within about a year) or if the seller states the battery has been replaced.
Laptop batteries seem to vary wildly in price depending on the model. Some can be very cheap as the people responding to you say, but still others are very expensive like you say. Also, when most people sell a particular battery for $100, if you happen to find a seller from China that sells the same specced battery for only $20, the quality becomes a bit suspect. Battery safety is not something I'd really want to play with too much.
ChatGPT has had absolutely zero impact on my work or personal life. I do not have any useful case for it whatsoever. I have used it for goofs before. That's about it. I cannot see it as a positive or negative influence...as it has had zero influence. I do get annoyed that every company and their mother is peddling worthless AI shit that most people have no use case for.
Hard Mountain Dew is fucking disgusting. I like regular Mountain Dew, but the alcoholic ones are horrendous. I'm guessing it's because the alcoholic ones use Diet Mountain Dew which is the worst diet soft dunno on the planet. Dunno why they don't have a sugar option.
Yeah it seems a lot of the bigger communities from Lemmy.ml have seen alternatives grow in popularity on different instances now.
