Give it a month or so until tariffs are fully incorporated into daily costs
Then we’re in for a ride
- Comment on Does a tiny motion tracking mouse thing exist at all? 5 days ago:
Look at youtube for guides on customizing your mouse
You’d prob want to sand the mouse to let the primer adhere better, and go with small coats.
A outer protective coat after would prob work wonders since your finger oils will mess up raw paint fast
Disassembly is actually really easy for mouses so you can spray paint pieces individually, or at least just the shell

Anyone ever try the windshield resin kits? I also have a couple of knicks but am a little lazy to repair it, especially since idk how the resin will look.
- Comment on Papua New Guinea shuts down Facebook in test to stop 'pornography, misinformation, hate speech' 2 weeks ago:
Youtube is not all bad. The algorithm is, but the vast amount of content on it means that theres some genuinely helpful stuff. Videos about repair and fixing, educational videos on any subject in the world, videos about acceptance and self love
There’s no hope for facebook though, except the not so facebook marketplace (im gonna need a resurgence in like craigslist for that)
- Comment on Definitely didn't waste half an hour making this 2 weeks ago:
Also super cheap. I think last time i bought 50 for 6 usd and Im still using that box
- Comment on Why do we even do mens vs womens sizes for clothes? 2 weeks ago:
Shoes are pretty easy to guesstimate for US sizes if you have average feet (width being the biggest reason this fails). Men size is basically women size plus 1.5. This doesn’t work if you have a large foot size though, since women’s dont go up to the same max as men’s
Clothes are 100% a pain. Especially online shopping
- Comment on Kagi search engine now has a Fediverse search option. 5 weeks ago:
Does anyone else’s search on lemmy actually work as expected? I feel like it never finds anything really relevant. I can search for audio interfaces for example and all the first results are about software in general and not actually the hardware component.
- Comment on The situation got so bad that actuall news overtook memes in top posts on Lemmy 1 month ago:
Bad press would work if there were consequences like forcing the CEO to step down
Unfortunately in today’s world corporations and their ceos can get away with almost everything
- Comment on YSK: Gas stoves cause cancer 1 month ago:
I legit used car polish once to clean my electric glass stovetop
Works fine as long as you work it by hand and wipe the residue off with a wet rag

Feels like it’s been that way since the election to be honest
Lemmy has always been a political outlet, but post election has been out of hands.

I don’t know about Japanese curry with cheese but it sounds pretty good
I really like saag paneer which is like an Indian curry with firm cheese blocks

I was going to say it couldn’t have been a decade but then I realized the last time I used Skype was about 2015 2016…

Does that mean all the wojaks actually came from some source materials? Oh god
- Comment on Elon Musk’s X blocks links to Signal, the encrypted messaging service 1 month ago:
That sounds more like free advertisement for Signal
“Our product is banned on twitter!”
- Comment on Autoplay videos are cancer to me 2 months ago:
Youtube enhancer can hide shorts or convert them to video layout instead
I use the latter because i watch food shorts but with the comfort of actual youtube ui
- Comment on I'll show them 2 months ago:
The only ads Ive watched in the past year were ads from flex seal and tim henson, and those were technically just videos.
If ads were like that I wouldnt mind them as much

My area got hit while I was out on a business trip, so I guess I’m coming back to spoiled food since I got the message saying there was no electricity

Probably meant that’s, or at least I read it that way
- Comment on Has Fast Food Gotten Worse, or Am I Just Getting Old? 4 months ago:
Just because people don’t like a certain food doesnt mean their taste buds have a problem. Liking food is all subjective, that’s what it means to be human

At least it does mean your cat can never turn off your pc ever again with this
- Comment on For states on the coast with excess solar energy why don't they invest in water desalination and pump that water back upstream? 5 months ago:
Depends on the desalination method. If there’s no added chemicals, or if they removed them prior, I’d assume it’s feasible. After all, ancient times used to just evaporate seawater and get salt from it.
It might just be an economic problem. Questions such as where are you going to get land for creating huge evaporation pools, is it worth the yield of table salt, etc.

Just one short trip… I just need a bit of nickel

- Comment on For states on the coast with excess solar energy why don't they invest in water desalination and pump that water back upstream? 5 months ago:
Those are the exact brine lakes I talked about that exist in the bottom of the ocean.
Brine is too dense to be above seawater. They accumulate in the bottom, creating essentially small pockets that kills almost every normal life. Only extremophiles live near it, and even then its usually just surrounding the edges of the lake.
You also can’t exactly guarantee that the brine you make ends up here. They are in the bottom of the ocean, not exactly a place you can pump brine to.
- Comment on For states on the coast with excess solar energy why don't they invest in water desalination and pump that water back upstream? 5 months ago:
Are there any brine reservoir in the ocean? That doesn’t seem to be a thing. It either mixes properly with the ocean if proper mechanisms are set or it just ends up sinking to the bottom of the ocean and killing everything there.
There’s storage inland, but that also has its own problems.
Nuclear waste in the ocean follows a similar idea (although larger in scope). You can’t just dump it and be done. You have to create a plan to slowly release it (over decades) to (hopefully) not adversely affect life
- Comment on For states on the coast with excess solar energy why don't they invest in water desalination and pump that water back upstream? 5 months ago:
Salinity doesn’t really work like that. You can’t just dump a bunch of brine and expect it to just mix with the rest of the seawater. A lot of that depends on temperature, currents, etc. You might just end up forming a brine lake in the ocean if the brine just so happens to end up at the bottom without ever mixing. Not to mention brine isn’t always just concentrated salt and water. It can include byproducts from desalination.
