NounsAndWords, in Happy new year from Europe gang!

The way things have been going, I have a bad feeling we should be enjoying our last extra moments of 2023 before the shitshow that is 2024.

Life was different back then.

You should seek help if you are struggling with depression.

ohlaph, in I've made a terrible mistake

In the world of gears and screws, they say, Lies a whimsical dance, a playful array. Righty tighty, lefty loosey, they decree, A rhyme of mechanics, a playful spree.

With a twist to the right, oh, the magic it weaves, Securing the bond, as it deftly achieves. Righty tighty, a clockwise turn to bind, A snug little twist, a connection defined.

Yet the left beckons with its whimsical call, A twist to the left, a loosening sprawl. Lefty loosey, a counter-clockwise flow, Unraveling secrets, it willingly shows.

Righty tighty, lefty loosey, they sway, A duet of motion, in their mechanical ballet. Twisting and turning, they whisper in song, A symphony of movement, where they both belong.

So heed their advice in your mechanical groove, Righty tighty, lefty loosey, a mantra to prove, In the dance of mechanics, they hold the key, A delightful rhyme, a whimsical decree.

Funny. I’m surprised this is Beat Buy. We didn’t get those until like 2002. It would have been CompUSA for me.

I left mine in and I was very disappointed by lack of total infrastructure and societal collapse.

Or 2038🙏

andthenthreemore,

It’s because world governments and companies spent a shit load of time and money changing things so it didn’t become an issue. People point to it as a load of fuss over nothing, the only reason for that was that action was actually taken.

ooterness,

On that note, there will be a similar problem in 2038. It’s just like Y2K but harder to explain, which means management won’t understand, so it won’t get fixed.

pewgar_seemsimandroid,

unix time is 32 bit basically

recapitated, (edited ) in I remember

When I heard about the Y2K panic in the mid 90s the very first thing I did (as a kid) was advance my clock to 12/31/1999 to see what would happen next.

IIRC when the date changed, it went back to some date in the 1980s I think. This was either windows 95 or 98, I can’t remember.

Anyway that advice to turn your computer off… What the heck? Then what, throw it away?

Nothing, really. The worst that could have happened to personal computers was that they’d show a wrong date. What people were really worried about was how computers responsible for critical infrastructure would handle it.

BradleyUffner, (edited )

We told people to turn them off because it was just easier than trying to explain to them that they might have to restart individual programs if they bugged out. It was a simple way for people that didn’t understand computers to get everything back into a known state.

IE “have you tried turning it off and on again?”

fr fr i feel like such a horrible loser whenever i throw out groceries, esp produce. how do people plan their lives out perfectly such that it seems like this never happens to a proper adult

@hark@lemmy.world avatar

I end up structuring my diet based on what spoils first, so I check what I have available and generally eat what is most likely to spoil first. It gets tricky when I buy too many groceries all at once.

Feirdro,

I think it does. No one ever admits to it though, and they don’t let it affect their self esteem.

It’s a trick that I’m still learning

I make a meal plan for every week and only buy ingredients I need for those meals. Saves me money by having me buy only the things I definitely need, and time by having to make only a single trip to the grocery store each week.

I know this sounds super obvious but in the past year I’ve finally realized I can freeze things. I mean I used to freeze things too but not nearly as liberally as I do now. Now whenever I have too much of anything my first question is does it freeze well? It turns out a lot of things freeze well. Most recently I’ve been freezing jalapeños because I dont use them often enough when I buy them.

AlecSadler,

I really wish half loaves of bread were more common.

Tikiporch,

Lewis makes half loafs around here, check Walmart or other big grocers.

XEAL,

Wash and freeze some raw potatoes if you can

@KingJalopy@lemm.ee avatar

Just pick 7-10 daily meals you intend to make on your own and buy only what it takes to make those things. I never throw food out, but only because I only buy what I know my family will eat. Then every 1-1 5 weeks I buy that again.

I cheat. I only buy stuff the minute before I actually want or need it, but this only works when you live a 30 second walk from a grocery store.

At that point, why bring stuff into my fridge for me to plan around, when I can treat the grocer like it’s my fridge? Time to cook? Takes me 10 minutes to come back with exactly what I need, and then I instantly use it. Doesn’t even go into the fridge.

Also, potatoes last longer than you might think. They are still fine to eat for several days after they sprout. Just break the sprouts off and prepare them like normal. Because of this they are one of the few things I keep in my fridge all the time.
