Why would a car alarm be a problem...?

Every place I've ever been, they take the keys and drive it into the garage to do any work they're doing.

Car alarm should only be relevant if the mechanic locks the car, no?

I think it's fine to have an opinion, just qualify it with "I've not been in that situation before, but ... I think bla ... because bla."

It's just about being honest.

I had a friend who's latest and greatest dating advice was to go back and hangout at the college I graduated from (at the time already) several years ago.

I thought it was an incredibly disingenuous and creepy suggestion.

Him and his partner were like "it's totally fine..."

Not a single female friend disagreed with me that, that would be very creepy and I absolutely should not do that.

He got mad that I would never listen to his (terrible) dating advice.

I'm surprised wheat buns aren't more popular. If they're good, they add their own charming character to a burger

Yeah, like the other person said this is normal for the borderlands games.

I agree with you, I don't like it either though.

It shouldn't but people (especially in the context of something "not important" like gaming) as a mass do not operate on logic.

So I guess I agree; but, you're probably wasting your breath "yelling into the wind."

I guess, put another way, I've done it many times/used to think more this way and I think I might have appreciated more nudges that "... yeah you're right but people are going to people regardless of what makes sense."

It kind of does, early reviews and sentiment can have a big impact on how well the game does long term.

It is not; it's a distinctly British-influenced if not outright British term.

So that's why Oscar is always hiding in the trash can grumbling!

I think there is a certain amount of social media that is itself the problem.

Like, trolls and rage baiters are a menace; not to mention social media is often an assault on nuance.

Memes are still really popular but they undercut serious discussion ... and often just make noise about depressing shit without even the inkling of answers to the problems they comment on.

You nailed it.

Nice find!

I use containers for work stuff so I don't have to deal with edge cases of mixing accounts.

I also put Proton in a container to hopefully reduce the odds of any kind of cross site scripting exploits from succeeding... But that base should already be well covered by proton servers and the normal protection mechanisms.

Interesting, though I'm not sure that it would really be lemmy at that point, no?

ActivityPub in a certain sense is not Plebbit ... and I'm not sure how compatible these ideas really are.

Was there something special about it?

I can't say that I'd noticed anything ... but I'm always happy for fixes!

Yeah, that's not terrible advice.

I think I'm just a bit ... demoralized about that ... since I do know a lot of older folks (I literally shoveled the driveways of 4 older neighbors this winter and have various 50+ friends) and no help has come from that direction...

I might give it a shot though, thanks

Because that would be confusing

That is how inflation works... when costs go up prices go up.

Yeah, your computer probably should cost a lot more in "today dollars" but because performance of components gets more efficient over time, you can likely get a better computer for less money.

It's the same reason you have a computer more powerful than multiple thousands of dollar super computers. The technology has improved enough you don't have to pay as much.

Do you think prices should just be locked in place for eternity at $60?

I haven't seen any good hiking groups in my area. The ones that exist on meetup.com are mostly "people with grey hairs" ... and there's nothing wrong with that other than I just turned 30 last month.

It's been that way throughout my twenties.

I'd joined a "young professionals" group and was starting to meet some people that way but ... it ended up dying out over the pandemic.
