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.

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, 1 year ago to asklemmy in In which scenario would you last longer before being outed as a time traveller?

Who knows.

Maybe sandwiches have been completely forgotten and you can make a nice little business out of making perfectly ordinary sandwiches.

kent_eh, 1 year ago (edited 4 months ago) 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.

So what games do you play when you just wanna relax?

Solitaire

kent_eh, 1 year ago to asklemmy in What piece of song lyric you can really relate to?

Well, my friends are gone and my hair is grey I ache in the places where I used to play

Leonard Cohen, Tower of song

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

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.

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

A man’s gotta have a vice or 2…
