Same length as a string.

“Some people are just bad…”

But it’s never themselves just wanting addicts to die, breaking up immigrant families, breaking up or preventing lgbtq rights, or wanting to enact violence on anyone who disagrees with them.

Double benefit from my perspective. I block people for three reasons, they are not mutually exclusive. Willful stupidity and being argumentative. If someone refuses to learn objective truth or insists I believe their objectively wrong position I have no need to interact with them in the future. I’m done with them. The third reason is getting the last word, myself or them. I have a hard time shutting up sometimes, so if someone meets either of the above criterial and has to continue to keep commenting on any rebuttal I make I just block them. There’s no reason to allow myself to continue the interaction, and the other person has no interest in a good faith discussion.

Everyone’s already hit the high points.

Sports fanbase tends to not be a tech base, which Lemmy primarily is.

Sports are paywalled to hell and back, the userbase here is far more inclined to avoid paywalls and the content behind it.

People dislike the celebrity gossip and stuffed suits surrounding sports.

My own personal disregard for sports leans more towards the dislike of the monied celebrity of the entire genre, the worship of the players, and the pointless obsession and discussion of things like stats that have all the meaning of dowsing rods. But that’s literally just my opinion and obviously plenty of people feel otherwise.

I think the internet at large should be viewed this way and the Fediverse is no exception. It’s almost impossible to completely get rid of anything that isn’t under your direct and immediate control - i.e. your own personal email server. I don’t assume that Lemmy/Fediverse is any different.

That said, with the effort to be ”not Reddit” or just another social media platform ready to be potentially abused, focus should be placed on privacy and user ownership and their ability to control their data on the platform.

Yeah, same thing.

Moving the goalposts.

Butwhatabout.

Appeal to hypocrisy is big.

This is how you cook with stainless. Get a high smoke point oil, get the pan and oil plenty hot, the put the food in. It immediately sears the contact surface and this is what prevents sticking. This is also why you slowly place food in the pan (other than to avoid spatter), it gives a little extra time for this to happen. Otherwise you gotta wait for the surface to brown and hopefully unstick, which might work for things like chicken or the skin side of fish, but anything liquid like eggs or super soft like the fish meat will have a good chance of sticking.

IOW, just do what chefs usually tell you to do with stainless and get it hot with the correct oil. Best odds of not sticking. Modern non-stick pans are pretty good if you obey the rules about using them.

Why would that ruin it?

Pity they can’t just put a page in the book that says “from here forward we do things this new way” and just keep moving. But that’s not how legal and governmental systems work.

Then there’s the potential real health benefits of drinking tea or coffee as well.

I didn’t ask anything. What’s your problem.

I understand that.

Absolutely, and not just for meats. Anything that has a temperature requirement for best cooking method.

An instant-read thermometer is a game changer to make sure fish, meat, and anything else that needs it is properly cooked, and just as importantly, not over-cooked.

I don’t use reddit results much at all anymore thanks to it constantly trying to force me to use the app, which I don’t have. I do try to force lemmy into search results by adding it to the search terms when appropriate.

Problem is that Lemmy/Fediverse simply doesn’t have the established depth and breadth of information that reddit does yet, and reddit does have it because it sort of killed the internet forums that would have existed foe those subjects. I agree, it’d be great to have more knowledge sources in Lemmy. Growing the community types would be a start, but that needs people and participation, and growth is hard.

Beat me to it.

Don’t be a dick, don’t make anyone’s life worse out of indifference or even temporary malice, don’t make your own life harder because of the aforementioned, and the greatest accomplishment would be to make someone else’s life measurably, permanently better and have no need of credit or compensation for the act.

I did a quick “NSFW” search and can confirm there are recent (as in 1-2 hours old) nsfw posts and they are viewable. I did not search for communities, just posts.

Edit: clicking the community shows it empty even though new posts exist.

All that mass moved in basically one second. That’s a shitton of energy.

Clippers or shaver? Clippers don’t shave close. I do have a Wahl clipper, it’s great, but it doesn’t shave.

Nice idea. Now make the batteries replaceable in things like shavers, and stop making the replacement foils the printer ink of the personal grooming consumables world. For those that don’t know, you can buy a battery operated shaver for say $60 and the replacement foil and cutter will cost $30-40. Half the cost of a new shaver for a small bit of plastic and metal.
