    If you go rural enough and you find the mom and pop Christian own thrift stores you can still get those kind of deals.

    Just recently I went to such a place and I got five stainless steel large (4qt) spice jars and a bunch of silverware for like $7 total.same things woulda been like $15 each at goodwill

    I tried so many different office chairs, they all sucked. Even the more expensive ones. But the "secret labs" gaming chair was perfect. Gives whatever support my fucked up spine needs, has the right mix of cush but firm. And the little magnetic pillow is in the perfect spot. It was very expensive but worth it to me.

    Most gaming chairs are memes tho I'll say

    Honestly at this point? Fine fuck it. I am so jaded that at this point my opinion is just Humanity has had so many chances throughout history to get it shit together and has repeatedly continued to fail and fall into this small group of people with power ruin everything while everyone suffers bullshit.

    Time for us to just die and give the dolphins their turn

    While there are other options which have been mentioned to death in the comments below. I'd also like to point out that this could be less of an issue if Apartments were not built like absolute trash shit garbage.

    There is no reason you could not build an apartment by taking a standard single family home that you would find in a more rural like area and the simply stacking another one on top of it and continuing that until you no longer get approval to go higher.

    Apartments are small, with crappy layouts, and generally cheap materials that makes it difficult to sound isolate. We don't have to make them like that we could just make an actual fucking house with proper materials and then just put another fucking house on top of it and another fucking house on top of that one and so on

    Depends entirely on what environment I'm in and to some degree even my mood. Sometimes you just want to slap some headphones on and erase the rest of the world. Sometimes you just want a more full rich experience where it feels the room you can move around freely. Sometimes it doesn't matter at all

    I've never really understood that argument. Most VPN software I've seen forces your DNS through the VPN as well which would bypass a public Wi-Fi's attempt to DNS poison.

    I use a VPN anytime I'm not on my home network just because it's a super easy way for me to force my DNS to my own custom DNS with Adblock listing on the machine that's running the VPN endpoint.

    It's wireguard, and it connects to a direct IP address. If someone tries to redirect or otherwise man in the middle of the connection wireguard will simply fail to establish a connection. Thanks to the fact that it uses a similar idea to pgp where the client and server already have each other's public keys and there's not really an unencrypted initial handshake even the initial talking has a form of encrypted communication thanks to the key pairings.

    So like, my vpn is definitely proving security. Whether or not every random ass VPN you can buy is smart enough to force all DNS over the VPN or anything else I guess I can't say for sure maybe it's not common and that's why but it definitely can be used to help automate some security measures when using a public network

    It's not that difficult? I'm over here in rural Washington along long beach, raymond, Aberdeen and Pacific Transit is quite viable for getting to work grocery stores and whatever else you need. I know because I'm a driver for them, I'm currently doing from Ilwaco to Aberdeen.

    From my first stop to my second stop is a half hour, then an hour to the next stop, then a couple quick stops in town, then another half hour to Aberdeen. And yet I still service about 30 people a day, people rely on me to get to work, to do shopping, to go see the doctor. We also have a service where people can call upon us for very specific needs that aren't covered by our routes. Three of them actually

    We have a Dial-A-Ride service where you can request that we pick you up and drop you off at specific places or the nearest other bus stop in smaller shuttle buses (prioritizes ada passengers if demand is high)

    We have a shopper shuttle service that literally just runs between a big pile of different stores and restaurants that people like to go to and they make connections with most of our other routes

    And then we have the veteran connect service where we help make sure that veterans are able to get to their medical appointments as far out as Chehalis and Vancouver as there is unfortunately no VA hospitals near us.

    Almost every furniture store in existence can deliver straight to your house now, even if you manage to find one that can't just go rent a U-Haul for the day it's not expensive. There's no reason for your daily driver to be a massive truck because you might need something big at some point doesn't matter whether your rural or not.

    I definitely know what it's like to put some mileage on a car as I currently Drive a total round trip mileage of 160 miles per day for getting to/from work. But thankfully for my wallet I'm driving a smart fortwo which gets on average 43 miles to the gallon so that definitely helps. And the only reason I need to do that is because I'm the one driving the bus so I can't exactly take the bus to drive the bus unfortunately as much as I wish they would let me just take it home

    Isn't there literally a law that prevents gas stations from being too competitive. Like you can't lower your prices below a certain threshold lower than a station near you or some shit like that or am I just on crazy pills

    I have the exact opposite problem of the complaint in the post, the store near me will have only a single manual register open while there is a line of like five or six people that literally have maybe a handful of items all just waiting and they have a self-checkout area but they never fucking open it unless someone complains. And they act like you insulted their entire family lineage when they begrudgingly open it

    I hate corporations in general for their greed but even I understand why you can't have all Lanes manned. Because I have worked retail and while there are definitely some busy hours Where things get crazy, the majority of the day would be dead and those people would have nothing to do.

    This is why both is good, have 2-3 (for most larger stores) cashier lanes open and two sets of 4 (so 8) self checks open. Let people choose their presence

    When I'm shopping I want to get my stuff, and get out, even when I buy a lot of stuff. I do that faster than waiting in line for a register on average. Plus then i don't have to talk to someone which is nice.

    There should be both. Self check and a few clerks. Let people choose.

    What's the point of that? Nintendo isn't getting any money from that sale so from their perspective it's literally no different from emulation.

    If there is no legitimate means for you to purchase an original product from the company and give them your money then why the hell do they care if you're emulating something they weren't going to get money either way

    It's a common problem but the correct solution to closing vim is quite easy, press and hold control alt and F5 to drop to a new terminal. From there you can do "killall vim" to properly close vim, then just drop back to your main session

    I feel like I'm going insane, I can see people talking about logging in. I have seen screenshots of the login screen. And when I attempt to submit a post or something it tells me I need to be logged in to do that. But I cannot for the life of me no matter how hard I search the settings find somewhere to log in. I have tried searching for account, login, profile in the settings search and found nothing I have manually gone through every single category and cannot find anywhere to log in. I have attempted to completely uninstall and reinstall the application. This is either the most elaborate gaslighting attempt against some random asshole in history or there is something wrong with my app
