I remember early 2010s, people were making funny videos yelling “YEET” & throwing things super far.

Then there’s 26, when in the US you get kicked off your parents’ insurance & you can go fuck yourself! 🤗

Respect, and idk what your pipe is, but I want to take this moment to spread the good word of DynaVap. Seems like a receptive audience.
DynaVap is a maker of small metal pipes that bakes the weed via convection, instead of destroying it via combustion. It’s gentler on your lungs, no smoke. It allows for a fuller extraction, more high. You can even use it inside & the vape dissipates relatively quickly, even still your gf could use a boof tube. You’ll spend $40 to $240 on a piece, but let’s be real, it’s more like at least $75-125 minimum because you don’t want the $39 B model. On sales they sometimes throw those in for free. Have some respect, don’t buy it.
The best part of all, besides being healthier for you, more discreet, better flavor, and gets you more high times – you can blow $230+ on the all-titanium HyperDyn & if you’re a heavy user, I can personally guarantee you will save $400+ buying flower. Once you stop burning that shit like a caveman & switch to convection bake, the flower lasts so much longer. To buy a legit ounce from dispensary where I live, that’s $280-300. It’ll last quite a while if vaping with a Dyna.
Any convection method will do, but if we’re talking Apocalypse/off-grid options, consider the Dyna – small, all metal, battery-free. Got an o-ring in there. Provided you don’t just lose it, you will die & your great-grandchildren could pick up your used Dyna & vape weed with it.

Louis Rossmann is correct: there is no reason to let your printer connect to the internet. They’re never going to release an update that makes the printer insanely better or more efficient. It might improve the program & functionality, just slightly? But every time it connects there is a very real possibility they push an update on your purchased goods to fuck you over. It’s not worth it.

Yes, Feelzgoodman420, you may indeed smoke the grass.

Tbh I think most people on Lemmy need to touch grass more often ¯\(°_o)/¯ Your friend sounds alright, for someone who pulls “facts” out of his ass. 😂
- Comment on Lemmy horsepost 1 week ago:
Horse-fucking jokes aside, gonna be real here: actual horse girls are fucking crazy. I’ve known a few of them over the years, and all of them care more about horses than hours of their free time, space, money…
One guy had an unemployed wife with a horse. 🙄🙄🙄 Got their horse when he was 9, IIRC. So she’s not bringing in any money, this very normal & unimpressive horse is just eating through his finances & stealing an inordinate amount of attention of his wife from him. I think that fucker lived until he was 26 or 27, so do the math, he was financing that horse for 17 or 18 years. DDG’s AI assist says: “The annual cost of owning a horse can range from about $8,600 to $26,000”. Eh. Just assume the cheaper end of like $5-6K and still…$85K+, wth, right?
It should come as no surprise this regular-ass man seemed to be financially poor, despite working two jobs.
Another fun little anecdote, though, that may or may not be true -I’m inclined to think it is true- I hear horse girls that ride a lot naturally leads to very very very good sex, because frequent horse riding develops very strong core & pelvic floor muscles. Balance. Organic movements, rocking back & forth for hours on end. Basically they ride a horse & you can bet they can ride the shit out of you while fucking; the position is called cowgirl, after all. You just have to decide between a few hours of happy-happy fun times & having any serious amounts of disposable income, financial security.
I’ve come to the conclusion that you don’t marry a horse girl, but perhaps if you’ve got a girl you like you take her to ride horses sometimes. As a treat. Hell searching prices, assuming high end $80/session, you could do that twice monthly 24x80=$1920 annually. Or she could get herself involved in equestrian care & shovel the shit or whatever, and probably ride for free/cheaper. Idk this is just a mental exercise for me at this point, but personally I haven’t found a horse girl attractive enough, worth pursuing. Just some things for you to think about, good luck to you & your girlfriend, never ever ever let her talk you into buying a horse. That’s dumb AF. Rent instead!! 🙂

…sure. Then try this one.
“While the city continues to dispute the claims of a gang takeover, Jurinsky has released a series of photos, videos and email exchanges she says prove the problem is worse than city officials have let on.”
…and you guys also forgot to mention the border state of New York.
This border state problem is a national problem.
- Comment on Who should america be more concerned about MS-13 or Russia? 3 weeks ago:
It depends on the media you consume. This is no doubt a blind spot to most liberal media consumers, but conservative media has covered MS-13, sometimes extensively, especially in the months leading up to the 2024 POTUS election. We also heard about TdA, Tren de Aragua, in no small part because of Jose Ibarra, who raped & murdered Laken Riley.

People have been pro-asbestos dating back to Roman times, and even back then it is said they knew it was harmful as well. But used it anyway. 😆
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, that was poor wording on my part, probably just because that’s the terminology I hear all the time. I should probably amend that.
It’s true, due to the nature of the ear being really close to the head, the bullet didn’t pierce a hole through his ear. I don’t accept the bullet fragment theory, idk, I don’t see very-very accurate bullet fragments mid-flight. The bullets themselves can tumble or do crazy patterns, depending on weight & caliber, etc. I think the most logical working theory is the fully intact bullet grazing his ear mid-flight. Ears really can bleed heavily even from small cuts/pimples, at least mine do.
On a semi-related note, you all can watch regular, interesting, and/or terrifying custom rounds traveling in HD slow-mo on this YouTube channel. I believe their slogan is, “You make it…we mach it.” 😂😬

Smdh…indeed
We now live in cages, carefully crafted by laws & legislation over time. I am never shocked or surprised when governing powers place laws on commoners, anything to put their boot on our neck, nail down our identity for verification, or most importantly extract money from our bank accounts to give to the state to be wasted.
Smdh.

Or just, you know, death. 😂 No need to throw a “-cide” of any kind, enough of the time. I had a 50 y/o coworker die from cancer. Sad. Too soon. But he was worried about retirement…now he doesn’t have to. ¯\(°_o)/¯
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 4 weeks ago:
There’s a lot or fishy things about that day. SS was…incredibly incompetent…but the photo op thing wasn’t their idea, at least it appeared that Trump was arguing with them to stand up & break free. SS surrounding him didn’t seem to approve of photo op.
Then there’s the shots that ranging out, and the casings on the roof. SS cleaned up the shooter’s corpse, the scene very quickly & they would not answer how many casings were found on the roof. There were 8 shots, IIRC? Then in follow-ups, they were pressed “how many casings were found on the roof?” And they never fucking answered. You can watch them continuously deflect. They must know, they have the answer, they don’t want to say. Answer the goddamn fucking question.
Very. Fishy. Indeed.
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 4 weeks ago:
I also wondered that, but honestly man there’s almost no fucking way. 😂 That was a very real bullet, that went through his ear, and killed the man behind him. Combine that with all the different random-ass factors others have mentioned with the ludicrously small margin of error. Turn your head at just the right time or fucking die.
Combine that with the shooter being a random child that looks like he had fetal alcohol syndrome, that’s the “man” carefully staging a very near-miss shooting. 🥴 I mean FFS, look at his face. I wouldn’t trust him with a complicated McD’s order, let alone shooting at my fucking ear and not killing me. 😂
The only way it was staged was if you could prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Trump was very willing to die & become a martyr, which frankly I think he’s not against if it came to that, but it’s very clear the man loves life/living. Trump doesn’t want to die.
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 4 weeks ago:
One must entertain the notion that maybe this was intentionally perpetrated to bring about those laws, disarm the general populace.
Could have been a lone gunman psycho.
Could have been a planned event, psy-op.
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 4 weeks ago:
Will need to know which states, precisely. Because I don’t think that’s how anything works. This is a pure fictional hypothetical with made-up rules.
It probably isn’t hard to buy a black market gun, though; the laws don’t seem to stop the lawbreakers. Look at Chicago. 🙄
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 4 weeks ago:
Mmm idk, personally I know a selfish POS that killed himself a few years out of college. Then again: every rule will have its exceptions.

- Comment on A 'US-Made iPhone' Is Pure Fantasy 4 weeks ago:
I’d have to look into it more, but my gut tells me the CHIPS act & ‘Build Back Better’ was filled to the brim with pork & bullshit. You’d have to parse through, line by line, and take out all the shit. And hope all the changes get passed & implemented, and of course you’re still touting the worthless name of a project that your people hate that you didn’t even create. Or just blindly trust your opponent’s judgment calls & let it roll through, based on “just trust me, bro”. Nooooo thank you. Why bother?
With stuff like this, it tends to be easier & more expedient to take it behind the shed & shoot it. Replace it with your distinctly different, branded equivalent.
However. If this is true, it appears that Trump didn’t fully raze the CHIPS act & merely revamped it, is taking credit for it. Like you said. CHIPS must have been pretty true to cause.

Probably just lean super heavily on Taiwan, and Taiwan is also pledging to build a chip factory in the US. Georgia area, IIRC.
Batteries fucking suck. Can’t live with 'em, can’t live without 'em…but they’re always saying we’re on the cusp of an exciting new battery technology. Lately, they’re touting the idea of better, more efficient sodium batteries with all organic components.
While obviously it has a ways to go to reach working parity with lithium, there are also some big pros when it comes to safety & the ridiculous availability of sodium. If we can switch to sodium batteries, China takes a fucking massive hit.
- Comment on WARNING! 1 month ago:
Yes, if your battery posts are corroded to shit you just stick that thing on there & twist it around, rub up & down, and it cleans the crud off.
Once the battery post is clean & connection made, I’d recommend a protective spray or even a nice, thick layer of petroleum jelly. Keeps it nice. 👌

Sorry about your car! I hate that.
In an age where people are prone to feeling isolated & alone, for various reasons…this, unfortunately, is filling the void(s) in their life. I agree, it’s not healthy or best.
- Comment on Something Bizarre Is Happening to People Who Use ChatGPT a Lot 1 month ago:
No, I basically get the same read as OP. Idk I like to think I’m rational enough & don’t take things too far, but I like my car. I like my tools, people just get attached to things we like.
Give it an almost human, almost friend type interaction & yes I’m not surprised at all some people, particularly power users, are developing parasocial attachments or addiction to this non-human tool. I don’t call my friends. I text. ¯\(°_o)/¯
- Comment on YSK that if you lose your Social Security Card (USA) more than 10 times, the Social Security Administration will have to, by law, refuse to issue anymore replacement cards, for the rest of your life. 1 month ago:
…this. Let’s have a talk about basic security and prevention, because it’s important.
First of all, I wanted to factor in prices, but according to this webpage, the replacement social security cards should be free. However. I wouldn’t know from personal experience, and cannot verify.
By a combination of a small miracle, some neglect, and then some careful choices to safeguard it…I still have my original SS card. I would recommend getting a little passport case or something, and some metal plates or hard plastic cards to keep the SS card from bends/creases. Then you can place it in a blaze barrier document bag like this one. No, you don’t need this exact one, all I did was type in ‘blaze barrier document bag’ into Amazon because that’s the branding on mine. I just looked at it. $20 bag, goes a long way keeping that card safe & unmolested.
Those bags aren’t entirely fireproof & it’s only one layer; they’ve done extreme tests & the contents can (possibly) become slightly torched. That’s where you can buy a shitty 90s fireproof lockbox for next to nothing secondhand, I know I’ve got at least 2 & I think one was $5 & the other $10. Arguably more effective than the bag, my friend’s house burned down but he had a shitty 90s fireproof lockbox & it kept his personal documents & pictures of his deceased mother fully intact. Looks just like this, a shitty 90s fireproof lockbox. We’re not looking to confound master thieves with a safe, we’re just looking to safeguard SS cards and/or pics of dead moms. 👍 FB Marketplace, I found ones for $10-15 in IL, KY, MO. Everybody has these shitty 90s fireproof lockboxes. No excuse. Put the document(s) in the bag, and the bag in the shitty 90s fireproof lockbox. Double protection.
Also noteworthy: fireproof concrete lined filing cabinets (I recommend FireKing), sometimes you can find them cheap used because they’re a heavy nuisance item. If you have a basement, put the fireproof/resistant stuff in your basement or ground floor. It’s more stable there & should survive.
Then for those interested in the eccentric & the extreme, dive down the rabbithole known as Starlite fireproof coatings. While we may never know the exact formulation of this wonder material as it was presented, it turns out Maurice Ward merely rediscovered the lost art of intumescent materials that release layers of carbon char when exposed to heat. You can buy intumescent paint like this one & it’ll essentially fireproof any material you paint!
So in conclusion, yes, you can buy fire resistant filing cabinets. Even “fireproof” ones. And safes, and lockboxes, and document bags, and even intumescent paint. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Not all of us live in cities, nor would we ever want to. I do not have access to public transportation to take me to & from one of my jobs.
If you are able, yes, kind of amazing perks & I’d use it. It would certainly save me more than a little money in car insurance, maintenance, fuel, potential for accidents, etc. But it is not a feasible option, specifically for me.
