  Yes, stupid empire units. You had me excited for a minute but I should have known that was absurd.

  Hey, mastodon isn’t that bad! When bluesky runs out of funny money and has to enshittify it’ll be the one left standing!

  You’re describing the gravity fed charcoal grills from masterbuilt and I love mine. Especially when I toss in a cast iron pan full of bacon and run it at 450 for half an hour.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a Masterbuilt that has optional firmware updates sometimes, nothing mandatory and certainly nothing automatic. It’s a gravity fed charcoal grill that works like a computer controlled forced air rocket stove. Gets up to 700 degs from cold in 10 mins if I want or hold 225 for the rest of time as long as I keep feeding charcoal into the hopper and emptying the ash bin. The computer is adding actual value.

  No soggy pellets, no weird feeding issues, the biggest problem I’ve had with it was the hatch sensors all going out over time, but once I jumped the circuit past them it worked fine again to this very day, going on six years now.

  I’m glad at least someone else here had that feeling. I ended up not liking mine at all and sending it back. I couldn’t get used to the pads at all even though I wanted to like it a lot, maybe it’s just my hands. I use my steam deck all the time, first an led and now an oled, and I can count the times I’ve used the trackpads on it effectively on one hand.

  It’s not actually a very fun game to play, reading the lore or watching a video of someone else play is sufficient.

  no problems at all for me because I pay for the shit I use

  Nothing about StarCitizen is worth anything

  So, like, tear down all the apartment buildings and focus on putting every single human in a single family home for free? Like, how does your mental image of this work?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fucking leeches⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  One reason it’s obvious you don’t have experience with home ownership is that you’re acting like the repair man is free and not easily an aggregate of 250/month when expensive repairs are needed. That is $3000 my dude, which is easily a single plumbing problem that the landlord, not the tenant, has to pay for out of pocket.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fucking leeches⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How is a stable comfortable place to live ‘nothing’? If being out of the rain was all it took we’d all live in tents and this conversation would not occur. Owning a house and keeping it repaired/functional is hard and expensive. You don’t do your side favors by acting like our boy kept his friend in a locked closet when we all know that isn’t true.
