A decent set of precision kitchen scales, and some general use scales that don't have a massive delay on them #WeightSupremacist4Lyf

But seriously, fuck you, measuring cups. Fuck. You.

A kettle is such a default kitchen item in the UK that I find it kinda crazy that it's not standard somewhere like the US, though I know I've seen the difference in base voltage being a factor before.

Guess I'm gonna have to give bitwarden a go, I've used LastPass for years but their quality of service and value for money has plummeted.

I'm alright with connect for now, Boost is the only one I'd pay for

I drive on a lot of rural roads in the UK, mainly Wales, most of the time I'm just happy when the road has space for two cars to squeeze through and some visibility for what's coming around the corner of that rural lane. Actual physical lines separating the lanes? Oh boy it's my birthday. Yet with all that, we have a death rate per 100 million miles of just over a third of somewhere like the US, so I'd imagine the size of cars and inadequate licence requirements are probably bigger issues for road safety

Until I saw the sub I thought this was going to be a question about what to call the postal officer now that we live in a modern society where women are trusted to stuff letterboxes as well as men. Postie is of course the answer to that.

I'd expect Lemmy to be a little older on average since a big chunk of the userbase is made up of people that had used reddit since the early days and want to recapture that, that demography also tended to be even more dominantly male, techy and political than the average redditor

"hottest summer on record? Give it a rest, they say that every year!"

Also I'm in the UK which has been raining and dreary for the last month so it's not getting as much coverage here.

Oh hey, that's why so many of them are also white supremacists and mysogynists

My dog is the all time top post on one of the dogs instances, think I might try and monetise her if I get the upvotes in to double figures

The thing I find with discussion on here is that although most threads have way fewer comments and especially top level comments, I'm way more likely to get a response and end up in some kind of discussion than on Reddit where most of the time you just get lost in a sea of comments. Also think comments tend to be more conversational, less memey, less aggressive etc, just generally nicer.

It can't just be that though, I'm a guy in my 30s and I never get any of these channels recommended to me, just videos by channels I've subscribed to or similar to what I've been watching, even after watching political videos I don't get those shysters recommended to me.

I haven't completely quit reddit yet but the third party apps shutting down and the way reddit handled the whole thing led to me looking for an alternative because fuck using the official app or mobile browser version, when old.reddit goes that'll be the end of any use of reddit for me but hopefully Lemmy can build enough of a community to keep me away sooner because it definitely feels like reddit is circling the drain in terms of quality.

Same, this Connect for Lemmy is decent enough and I find it a lot more user friendly than the web version but I'll be right on the Boost app when it becomes available

Yep, I've had to stop browsing through All because it's just full of shite memes, shame as I was finding new communities here and there between all the guff
