Scuse my ignorance, but why put 'won' in quotes? Did he not actually win?

So is it safe to assume this isn't going to be a free and fair vote?

I didn't completely leave behind reddit. I still view, but I only comment/post on lemmy.

lol@ this. My bet what is actually happening: cost cutting or future nitro feature.

I don't think this will happen. What they want is for PCs to be like phones, a closed system where you are pretty much locked into installing anything you want on your PC(and thus anything you buy as well) from their exclusive app store. The cloud thing just extra expense for no real benefit to them. However if there's an opportunity to push one drive you can be sure they will. And MS has been trying to move in this direction since windows 8.

it will be a banking experience where musk will get all of your banking data. I bet that's why he's so into it and the "do everything" super app approach.

Someone that youtube blocks now is a customer for youtubes now/eventual competitor. You might say they're low quality since they won't pay or view ads, but they still share and maybe upload content.

agreed, paywall. Not subscribing to a dozen different news websites, and bloomberg wouldn't make the cut anyway.

You know what would be hilarious? Eventually blue sky buys the leftovers of twitter and renames itself twitter. Although by that time it may not be a prudent move. So maybe not.

Lol, good luck at trying to get meta to listen to what users really want.

Americans are desperate for change, but half of them want to go backward and half want to go forward. Add to that it basically takes a supermajority to pass legislation that makes real changes and well... you're pretty much left with things you can do via the executive branch.

So yes, a big part of the problem is that neither party really has the ability to appeal to the other "side" at all. We need sweeping social change before we get sweeping political change.

 

I'm in US-GA and I cannot find denatured alcohol locally. WTF happened? I need something 100% alcohol for cleaning electronics.

 

So I guess this is half frugal and half just wanting a guilty pleasure with as little effort as possible, but I used to eat some box noodles that I had to cut out because the price went way up on them. It's so ridiculous, used to be like $2 a box before the pandemic, now it is hard to find for less than $5. Anyway the product is taste of thai peanut noodles. I can link to it if needed. But here's why I liked it.

  1. I'm on a limited diet, so no wheat, dairy, and a few other minorish things due to food allergies. This eliminates most box noodles and a lot of good options for portable meal things.

  2. good # of calories. 600ish calories in a box. Not too much sodium, less than most box noodles. Not that I need to watch sodium but ya know. The amount most things like canned food and instant noodles have is just downright suffocating.

  3. tasty and filling. What can I say? it's peanut noodles, way better than most box noodles. imo anyway.

  4. very portable. I just need water and a microwave and I'm good to go. Presto! I have a cheap meal I can take with me when I'm on a small trip. Also no need to keep it cold or in the freezer.

So what I want is to basically mimic this in a "build it yourself" sort of way. I mean it doesn't have to be exact, and really I'm also open to other suggestions. And yeah I know I could just cook it on the stove but that is not so easy to just take with me.

Before folks suggest sandwiches: Yeah, but I don't regularly buy GF bread because it is pricey. So that means I have to specifically go out and buy a loaf just to prepare to take a meal somewhere. Then I have to eat the rest later or it will go bad. Whereas the box noodles... I can buy a dozen of them and they can sit in the cupboard all year long.
