Looking forward to trying the latest update.

There’s a difference in how active users are counted now, too, so that skews the numbers. An active user used to be a user who posted or commented. Now voting makes a user active.

Yelp can’t be trusted, anyway. Businesses can pay to remove bad reviews.

Google Maps has plenty of user submitted photos.

The calculator on my phone has an “AC” button, further confusing the situation.

DST is what most people prefer. It’s the switch back to standard time that’s dumb.

The politics are left of center on social issues, but I wouldn’t say it’s as bad as Reddit. I see a lot of anti-trump stuff, but that has nothing to do with his politics.

Blocking desalines using the software he helped write is very satisfying, in a sad sort of way.

Keep trying on other instances unless your views align with .ml. Otherwise you’ll be automatically deemed a tankie by a lot of people and that might alter your experience on the fediverse.

Welcome to Lemmy!

They can check existing code. You have to be able to trust people who are contributing.

They can check new code by these risky people as it comes in, but it why risk it?

Lemmy isn’t immune to bans for people speaking their mind or promoting violence. It happens all the time.

And as a bonus, presumably you have a nice file filled with historic dates and times!

I have a credit card that gives 6% cash back on grocery stores. Gift Cards are supposed to be excluded from that, but it still works at some stores. I used to buy Amazon gift cards, effectively making Amazon 6% cheaper.

There’s some psychological stuff to consider, though. Did I spend more on Amazon because there was a gift card balance? I like to tell myself no, but I probably did.

I notice the same thing. I think it’s because they are busy moving it from a distant warehouse to one closer to you, because you can’t possibly keep all of the same crap in all of the warehouses. So it’s being transported, but not “shipped”, allowing them to take longer.

This is the main reason I cancelled Prime. They started advertising “More than just free shipping”, and I realized that I only used it for free shipping, and as Prime got more and more expensive I wasn’t getting any value from it.

Now I just put stuff in my cart until I have $35 worth of stuff, and get free shipping anyway. It’s not that much slower. An extra day or two usually, and it doesn’t bother me one bit. I can wait a little while for my $10 guitar strap and it’s not the end of the world.

Oh no, I fell for it

Correct me if I’m wrong, but there are 2 hydrogen atoms in a molecule of water. Do you mean in a drop of water?

It’s sarcasm because nobody should be held liable.

Seems like the electric companies should also pay a hefty fine, as they provided the needed infrastructure to enable the piracy. /s

Block lemmy.ml and hexbear to start. I find their users to be quite toxic.
