No, I dislike discord and only use it because friends use it. Half the time it seems to switch inputs or beg for subscriptions and I can’t even upload a screenshot because “your files are too powerful” lmao.
It’s basically Microsoft Teams for gamers. But teams at least allows full file uploads.
Eagerly awaiting a superior platform to take over.
Don’t know about Teamspeak, but you never HAD to pay for Mumble. You could just run the server on any machine you wanted, including the same one as your client.
Faaacts, I have one at work and a personal one. Can one buy tools accidentally? I needed to get a bike head-nut off, all it had were two parallel indents on the perimeter.
Saw this for $50 at Sears, been in love with them ever since. W/o question one of my favorite and most useful tools. Sheesh I sound like such a shill haha
Exist. I have kids who constantly break things. I have a house where things often need minor attention. The knippex cobra xs pliers are tiny and weigh less than the pliers on a multitool like a Leatherman.
Great tool but not cheap. Infact you probably couldn’t find a more expensive version. Knipex however is worth it. Generally my advice is to first buy a cheap tool and replace it with more expensive one after it breaks but with pliers it’s pay once, cry once situation. These are truly BIFL tools. The 100mm mini cobra pliers are awesome aswell.
We do what we always do. We fight the baseless propaganda we hate with the baseless propaganda we like, and then when called out on it, we justify its posting by saying, “Isn’t it crazy how easily this could be true though? It’s like there’s no difference between truth and satire these days!”
The $8 Munchkin 10oz Sippy Cup. It’s technically made for toddlers but it excels over any other travel mug unless you want insulation. I don’t care about insulation because I don’t want to wait an hour until it’s a good drinking temp. Instead of some stupid spout mechanism that gets dingy and can’t be washed in the dishwasher, there’s a simple silicone lid you can drink from on all sides, and it’s all dishwasher safe and super easy to clean. It also contains a perforated screen perfect for steeping tea leaves or cardamom tea. Of course there’s the brilliantly simple spillproof aspect as well. I’ve had mine for 4 years and there’s zero wear on it.
I got the one without handles so it’s just a round cup, fits in the car cupholders that way. There’s a whole bunch of customizations like that though, you got handles, different sizes, colors, materials, even an insulated one, and all interchangeable parts from what I’ve seen. There’s a stainless steel one that looks like any other travel mug.
If you have a tendency to accidentally X out of your entire browser with all its tabs by an errant flick of the mouse, then this site as one of your tabs (need to click one for Chrome, as it notes) will have a popup asking if you're sure you want to close everything, letting you prevent that.
I must clarify one thing though for anyone reading this, it sadly doesn’t prevent browsers from crashing. Sorry to everyone who has Firefox or Opera as their main.
I ended up buying an aftermarket belt clip that screws into the Swiss Army knife on Amazon. Best purchase ever. Always on me and used daily for random stuff.
I've carried a SAK for years. I now also have a cheap benchmade knockoff with pocket clip and flipper. So easy to pull out and open that I almost never use my SAK. Hopefully a pocket clip will change that.
Love this idea, thanks. (I know you bought a belt clip and I'm going to buy a pocket clip but you gave me the idea).
totally agree in principle. my edc of choice has been the Leatherman skeletool for the last 5 years. pliers, Phillips and flat head and blade have been the perfect combination to balance portability and utility
I don’t think so. As long as nothing gets inside the outlet box there should be no fire hazard. There are acoustic caulk that don’t dry out and crack, which helps with sound proofing. I’ve heard Red Devil caulk works just as well, but it’s less expensive because it doesn’t have “acoustic” on the label
Yeah. It replaced message boards of old but it doesn’t fill the same purpose. It’s next to impossible to build a knowledge base there, for instance. It is optimised for an endless stream of shitty memes, though.
The first and foremost thing that comes to mind is the wayback machine. It lets you archive and immortalize any moment in a website’s history.
Though I may be cheating a little here because it’s actually a toolbar, another obscure, highly useful “website” is the Hypothesis toolbar. It adds a comment section to any webpage merely by existing.
On Hypothesis, only someone else logged into Hypothesis can comment, if that’s what you mean. If you notice someone on there with the name ThisInstrumentalBreak, that’s me (you may notice me having used it to comment on this thread).
I’ve been using squoosh.app a lot recently. Found it in a similar thread
EDIT: It is an image compression site where the images never leave your device. Or so the privacy policy says anyway. It took some tweaking, but i’ve had some images with an 80%+ size reducrion with almost no perceivable quality loss.
There is a certain compilation of rules/norms (which I’m surprised so many people don’t know about) called The Ten E-cepts (written there in the style of the philosopher Philo) which were made for anyone who may be considered a frequent browser. Commandment three points to something vital, that there’s no measure for that kind of thing. Regarding this kind of thing, each person must decide the difference and have it held to them.
A funny but also sad story related to this. Now everyone has probably heard of the Guinness book of world records, which holds all the world’s records people achieve and was made because drunk nerds in the bars in the UK (hence its name) would argue about world firsts all the time (true story). So I mentioned how I have the world record for the most websites having signed up for, and I got a triad of people at one point say they discredit the program, which turned into an argument over the apologetics and counter-apologetics of Guinness. And at the end of the argument I said something like “to anyone reading this from the Tilted Kilt, drunk arguments may resume”, because apparently nobody is safe.
I was in a similar spot a long time ago. Even though in such a situation it’s incredibly hard to see it from outside your black bubble of depression, from your family’s and friends’ POV, it really does help to try.
Gimme that canvas, let me paint some shit/ Pass me some poison, let me take a hit/ I’m just embarrassed and comfortably numb/ But failure is painful and lying is fun
Dress code, cocktails, looking so fancy/ We feel like we’re a little bit classy/ Cheers to the fact that we’re not dead/ Swimming with the sharks, but we’re still not dead yet
Psycho I go right to buy those/ Optimistic magic fix it pills/ I’m so right though, that’s my life, bro/ Underwater, coughing with my gills
Don’t let this moment go to waste/ You don’t know when the feeling could happen again/ Don’t let this moment go to waste/ You don’t know when the feeling could happen again
Touch me, taste me, tell me I’m not fading/ Tell me that I look just like a man/ 'Cause lately, baby, I’ve been going crazy/ Trying not to be an embarrassment
