Every time this is asked, I post the same comment. I used Kubuntu for years and liked it, but more recently they started doing things that annoyed me. The biggest was related to snaps and Firefox. Now, sandboxing a browser is probably a great idea, but I wanted to use the regular deb install, so I followed the directions to disable the snap install and used the deb. However, Ubuntu overrode that decision several times - I’d start browsing, then realize I was using a snap AGAIN. Happened a few times over a couple years. If it happened once, eh, maybe an error, but it happened 3 or 4 times. I came to the conclusion I wasn’t in control of my system, Ubuntu was.

I switched to Debian and am happy with my choice.

I didn’t see anyone link to the original!

Milk crates. I was trying to come up with some way using wood blocks to hold propane tanks in the truck bed, then I discovered the milk crates the previous owner of our house left. They work GREAT for 20 lb and 30 lb propane tanks. Easy to strap in, as well.

I don’t know why someone would want to carry a propane tank in the cab of their vehicle, unless they absolutely had to. I know I did it many time before getting a pickup, putting the tank in my car, and making the trip as short as possible.

My office was having a problem with mice, so some maintenance people were walking around looking for sources of food that were left out, etc. I offered to bring my cat in, and they looked at me like I had three heads. I knew which one of ours I’d bring, and I would have been happy to keep her in my office during the day and take her home every night. She would have LOVED it!

In a lot of places, that only happened because people banded together and made it happen for their area - the existing suppliers weren’t interested, even with federal loans available. That’s where the “Electric Co-op” companies came from.

Brain and brain! What is brain?!

I’m so sorry. I know how hard it is.

There’s a trope in old shows that the wife heard noises downstairs.

Elephants supposedly have great hearing. So the joke is that she’s always hearing things because her hearing is so good.

Same here. What especially irritated me was that even though I installed the .deb firefox and followed the directions to disable snap firefox, occasionally Ubuntu went ahead and reinstalled snap firefox for me.

Can confirm - I have an RV and whenever guns comes up in the online groups, it is clear that these people are absolutely CERTAIN they will be attacked. No “if”, it’s “when”.

I assume these are the same people that end up murdering someone who knocked on the door of a house they thought was a friend’s place, but were mistaken, or needed help in the middle of the night, stuff like that.

I kind of like having that layer of someone who knows what they’re doing. House purchasing and selling isn’t something we do often, so a knowledgeable person seems like a reasonable investment. Same reason you shouldn’t be your own lawyer.

I do have some qualms about how they get paid. The commission I pay my own agent doesn’t really even bother me that much, although they’re obviously incentivized to get us to buy the most expensive home we can afford. But the commission that the seller pays to the agent for the purchasers disturbs the hell out of me - it’s a pretty clear conflict of interest.

We had a “Buyers Agent” for our last purchase - this is someone that only does buying; they do not sell homes. The idea being there’s less conflict of interest because they’re not trying to sell you a home they have listed (the company he owned did not list homes at all). Great idea, but they still take the commission from the seller, so it’s not perfect. We worked with another agent from a different company for selling the old house.

Those are those post-birth abortions Trump was complaining about.

Absolutely agreed. Unlike reddit, there’s nothing between “private” and “everyone”. Reddit had a feature that subs could avoid the front page no matter how popular a post got, but Lemmy doesn’t have that, so every post shows up on everyone’s all.

Why do people think a dozen eggs costs $12?

A quick search turned up this 18 count of eggs for $9 at our local chain. And that was just the first result I found that had the price on the page (you have to click a button to see it, unfortunately, but it is there).

The first time I saw it, I laughed for a few minutes. It still cracks me up. I think the woman’s face in the past panel really adds to the punchline.

Surely you can’t be serious.

I still have a Hayes Smartmodem 1200 here. Aluminum case and all. It’s a work of art.

A useless work of art. But still…

Yeah. That’s my favorite movie, so this comic played right into it.
