kent_eh, to asklemmy in How are you all making it right now with grocery store prices?

When I think of canning vegetables, cucumber pickles are the first thing that comes to mind.

kent_eh, (edited ) to asklemmy in How are you all making it right now with grocery store prices?

I’ve always been interested in the idea of canning, but it’s not really a thing in the UK

I suspect it’s more common in the more rural areas.

Or with the city people who manage to have an allotment.

kent_eh, to asklemmy in Are Americans more prone to conspiracy theories than people in other countries?

Visiting Rushmore as a non-American is even weirder than you imagine.

The levels of over the top blatantly performative “patriotism” is quite bizarre to be surrounded by.

And the suspicious looks we got for not participating enthusiastically was discomforting (no, I’m not going to recite a pledge of allegiance to your country. Why would you expect me to?)

I don’t think it’s impossible for a FOSS solution to do this, but I don’t think anyone has tackled it, either

That’s just a software problem. Not all that difficult, assuming the hardware manufacturers don’t lock you into some bullshit locked down proprietary cloud control thing.

kent_eh, (edited ) to asklemmy in If you had to restart your job at your current employer, what would you do differently?

I wouldn’t start with this company if I was starting today.

This is a very different place than it was when I started.

kent_eh, to asklemmy in We've already started this year off with crazy shit. What else do you guys think will happen this year and why?

Not to mention increased wildfire risk.

kent_eh, to asklemmy in Did any coal-in-your-stocking type of things happen to you on Christmas Day?

This kind of thing is why I still print out all the travel related stuff when I’m going anywhere.

Having that paper copy in my pocket as a backup gives me a lot of peace of mind.

kent_eh, to asklemmy in Those who chose "never" in a "now or never" moment. How is it going for you?

Getting g a mortgage just before the rates started skyrocketing seems to have been a good choice.

Hopefully you are locked in for long enough that the rates can return to some sort of sane level before you need to renew.

kent_eh, (edited ) to asklemmy in Do you have a story about when you saw snow for the first time?

This feels like such a foreign concept to me.

My dad had to shovel snow so he could drive my pregnant mom to hospital for my birth.

kent_eh, to asklemmy in how similar are other North American countries to USA??

I hope there would be rioting in the streets if some government tried to straight up kill our public health care system.

Unfortunately, it’s currently showing the strain of being attacked by a thousand cuts.

kent_eh, to asklemmy in how similar are other North American countries to USA??

A little too similar in some cases.

It seems that we are importing the worst examples of American politics and capitalism into Canada.

kent_eh, to asklemmy in What are your "poor person" money life hacks?

Avoid subscription services like the plague.

Check what services your library card gives you free access to.

kent_eh, to linux in One of these 6 will become Plasma 6. Wallpaper Which one do you prefer?

Probably 2, but as I always use my own images for my desktop anyway, the default wallpaper really doesn’t matter to me.

kent_eh, (edited ) to linux in what caused you to get into Linux?

In my case, specifically Windows 95.

kent_eh, to asklemmy in Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?

Regular watch.

My good old Timex Ironman has survived tons of physical abuse over the decade or more ive had it, and it’s battery only needs my attention every few years. I doubt a smart watch would improve either of those scenarios.

Plus, I don’t see any value added to my life by having phone features on a smaller, harder to read screen. If I want to use phone features, my actual phone is less than a foot from my wrist.
