That is true, but a lot of people on this thread talking about their 30s being like this.

Drink water, eat healthy, and exercise this will likely go away in a few days to weeks of good habits.

Idk what pushback you’re talking about, you’re it as far as I can tell and yes the OP is about groceries as is the comment I originally responded to.
Yeah, I usually specify alternates or refunds for things that matter and if my bananas are too green or my avocados riper than expected I can change meals to accommodate.

Uber eats/doordash is a different level. I don’t use them unless I have a gift card.
Instacart and similar as mentioned here do upcharge but it is just regular groceries so I can cook and eat at home. It’s on a basis of time=money. I want back the time I’d have to spend grocery shopping so I’ll spend money for it. If I ever get employed somewhere with reasonable public transit or safer biking that may change.

Being “safe” is also a gamble, if you aren’t bringing anything new or unique you’re gambling that the title or brand is sufficient for success.

It’s not so much that you literally have no time but spending the extra money is a way to get the time you would otherwise spend on groceries to do other things like spend actual time with the kids before they sleep and walk the dog before it’s dark.

Isn’t not doing that part of the draw of foss? That sort of UI/“engagement” is necessary for monetization but is not for foss.
A product getting “sold” is in direct contradiction to it being foss. That’s the viewpoint of money and enshittifiers.
Most people here are specifically avoiding those companies in part because of their “engagement” algorithms.

That’s interesting but you’d have dampening because all the vibration can also be felt physically and damages stuff.

The extra is to save the time of getting there and back. Mostly not worth it but occasionally that extra 0.5h at home are all that’s keeping your house manageable.

And a kid can insist they don’t need to pee until 5min after you leave a rest stop.
Insisting upon something doesn’t make it true. Beyond the fact that LLMs often hallucinate and therefore can’t be trusted at baseline, text in response can never be proof for an LLM. LLM framework is to regurgitate what exists in their training in ways that sound correct. It’s why they can make up court cases or say a guy who investigated certain murderers is the murderer.

- Comment on venomous 4 weeks ago:
Solenodons have a modified salivary gland and a sort of channel for the venom, related fossils show full on hollow teeth similar a snake.
The slow loris mixes their sweat with their saliva(both saliva and sweat are toxic).
However in both cases I’m not sure about the molecular details of toxin production. E.g. whether the loris or solenodon just carry certain bacteria that make the toxin or whether they produce from their own cells.
- Comment on venomous 4 weeks ago:
The loris and the solenodon have toxic saliva. The rat is controversial as it slathers chewed up poison dart tree on itself so hairs absorb it but it doesn’t produce venom/poison itself. Not sure of any “venom missiles” from mammals.

Show loris(big eyes), African crested rat(spiky hair), Cuban solenodon(shrew like thing), and of course the platypus.

I do want an imitation voice, because I want new people. I don’t want to hear the voices of the dead just because companies don’t want to pony up. I’m ready for the next JEJ but that’ll never happen if the industry dies because companies have just been reusing AI voices instead of hiring anyone.
AI should be used for tedious tasks not creative ones.
