I upgraded immich without breaking everything. That's always reason to celebrate.

I love my 6a, but Google's practice of replacing bad phones with refurbished bad phones is just horrible.

I'm trying to think of a way to phrase this that you might understand...

Let's say your left arm is weaker than your right arm, because you only yank your hog with your right hand. Your left arm isn't unstable, but it has some weakness compared to your normal nightly lover. But if you got that left hand a textured glove, then it would be just as good as righty. Maybe even better because you do like the variety.

That's what antidepressants are. They're a small kick in the serotonin to get people to feel normal.

Mentally unstable isn't that. Unstable are the people with rage issues. You know the ones. You'll hang out with them sometimes, but if they're going too hard at the bar, you duck out early because they're gonna do something stupid.

Oh, I didn't think that was what op meant. I think he meant Zalensky knew what was going to happen, and intentionally chose to walk into it so he could then pivot and show Europeans that America is out. I didn't think it was scripted. But expected.

From a purely cynical perspective: Species survival. Evolution has programmed us to desire offspring and try to ensure their ability to produce offspring. To do that, I need to make sure the world is livable for them and the next generations.

Small minded people see this and think "I just need to make it better for my kids not everyone". They're missing the big picture. They fail to see that we survive better if everyone is surviving better.

Are you saying Zelensky didn't know how it would go?

Can you not have dash cams?

I'm waiting on two things from them and then I'll be truly happy (I use it anyway)

  1. A stable branch release so no more breaking changes

  2. The ability to upload single photos to an album from the mobile app, not run a backup.

What's that in bananas?

Edit: sorry, I forgot I was on Lemmy. What's that in beans?

Changing is insufficient. Apologizing is only sometimes sufficient.

Sometimes to undo damage you need to actively push against the thing you did.

You don't just say "sorry I said the N word, that was bad". You educate people on why it's not ok to say and call out others who say it. You put in the effort to make things better, not just good enough.

Really good point.

I'm honestly just sad that rich people get away with this kind of nonsense. :-/

 

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 bought a house a few months ago and I'm still trying to figure out all the wiring. I found these coming out of a cabinet in the kitchen.

I think (?) the black one is a cut-off coax cable. There's a LOT of coax in this house, so that seems straightforward (but I would still love if someone can confirm!)

I'm not sure about the other ones. They don't look electric, as I'd expect electric to be black + white + copper, like the rest of the house.

There is supposedly a speaker system in the house (I see speakers) but I haven't figured it out yet. Could that be power for the speakers? I'm not familiar with speaker wire setup. If it's speakers, why would there be so many wires?

Label maker for home use (self.recommendations)
 

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've got about 1/4 acre with some odd shapes and walkways. I'm looking to invest in a robotic mower, but the boundary wire ones don't seem to work with my layout. It doesn't need to have clean mow lines or anything, I just want my grass to be shorter.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a non-wired robot mower? Preferably one that integrates with HA, but that's not required.

If you do, what are the pros/cons of the unit?

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 for us? (self.adhd)
submitted 1 year ago by surewhynotlem to c/adhd
 

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?
