Why do smokers specifically seem to be disproportionally bad for littering? in c/nostupidquestions
[–] surewhynotlem 1 points 1 minute ago

And yet I can drink a soda and somehow not throw the bottle onto the ground. I'm a fucking hero.

Maybe just carry a tin for your butts since it's not exactly a surprise that you have them.

Then I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's strange that I found them in my butthole.

Is anyone planning on doing anything about trump creating a concentration camp at guantanamo bay? in c/nostupidquestions

"We tried to do a thing but it was hard so we did half a thing." - Democrats

"We tried to do a thing but it was hard so we're giving up. Enjoy high grocery prices" - Trump

Almost the same, but not quite.

How did a simple phone call become so problematic? in c/lemmyshitpost
[–] surewhynotlem 2 points 6 hours ago

That would be the mitigation to the problem, yes. But I'm describing why it's a problem in the first place.

You can't say "calls aren't that bad because you can do everything possibly to avoid them.". I'm avoiding them because they're that bad.

I check my texts. I check my email. I check my DM. When I want to.

YOU choose when the call happens.

Get the mold out! in c/microblogmemes
[–] surewhynotlem 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

You'll be hard pressed to find causation unless you find a gaggle of grandmas confessing.

There's a lot of herbology lore and stories. Maybe it's all made up. But even today we find people poisoning their spouses and everyone's reaction is always "why not just leave?". So extrapolate that out and it seems reasonable.

Yes exactly. Force someone to stay and they'll find a way out.

Is this “normal bratty” behavior or a sign of a mental health condition? in c/nostupidquestions
[–] surewhynotlem 3 points 1 day ago

Having a diagnosis doesn't excuse their actions. At best it explains them.

What are these wires? (lemmy.world)

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.

Un-wired Robotic lawn mower (self.lawncare)
submitted 8 months ago by surewhynotlem to c/lawncare

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)

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?
