  • Your data has monetary value to google. Giving them access, without getting any money from them (or even knowing what ways it will be used) is not something you must do.

    If the app provides enough value that is unique to it, then thats OK, but if a data-respecting alternative exists that costs nothing to download or use, and fits the same (or more) needs, then using it just makes sense.

    If thats not you, then thats ok.

    I also use keep, but thats because I haven’t degoogled my phone yet, so they already have most if not all of that data. Once I am in a position to be able to root and remove google without risking bricking my device (currently unhoused, and just cannot risk it rn), then I plan on never touching the damn thing.

    To each their own.






  • #ProblemsOfTheUpper-Lowers

    Because I want to helpful: if you are moving to a home large enough for you to feel that an intercom is needed, then the cost associated with having a simple system installed would be the best way to maintain your privacy, well, your privacy to those without physical access to your home at least.

    I can’t think of any intercom-related reason that outweighs the needless additional network load, nightmarish privacy policies, and instant gratification through retail buttons, that a network of echo’s could provide.






  • Pellet guns are harmful and maybe deadly to us, but we’re soft. Only an american would be so gun minded but insufficiently informed to think that nobody has any guns, especially the hunting rifle you’d need, powerfully enough to do anything other than crack a lense if you’re lucky. The gun propaganda here doesn’t want to share than most europeans are able to responsibly own certain firearms if they want to meet the requirements.



  • Wait… other than cook any bird or animal that might land inside, what would this do? I thought household microwaves were nowhere near capable of doing anything at any distance.

    I’d just go to the local print shop and have the most disturbing image put onto some large poster. Like a Hi-Res close up of a butthole with some form of issues.





  • I’m often on the opposite side of your cashier experience.

    For me personally, I appreciate the polite gesture and understand the automatic nature it can be for some, especially southerners. So unless I can tell that I’m being “sir’d” with someone who has clocked me and wants to show their smoothbrain, then I don’t care much.

    That said, I like the general idea of treating everyone with a nonconfrontational politeness, so I’ve been replacing formal pronouns with chief, coach, Bud, comrade, etc. Its ended up being even more disarming for most, and has a nice side effect of reducing the amount that I get misgendered.

    Hope it helps, Have a great day chief!




  • Depending on the amount of different pills you have, something I did for 2 family members might work. Between the 2 of them, there were 22~25 Actual prescriptions, and they both insisted upon a suppliment regimen of about 25 more pills.

    I bought them a screw/nail/bolt organizer drawer set from Harbour Frieght, and used a System of a few colors to label the drawer front with what pill and dose was in it, and who takes it&what time of day. The biggest help ended up being the lack of constantly messing with lids, bulk purchasing was much easier and saved a fair amount of money, and being able to see what was low.

    Although I lost one of them last month (my Mom) too early, she often praised it for how much time it saved, and my other family member is in her mid 80’s and still keeps the regimen, supplinents and all.

    The bigger drawer stacks may be too much, but I’d suggest looking in that area of products for something sized right. Planning out more than the 3/5/7 days of meds at one time is often half spent opening bottles and the mess many can make. (ノ°益°)ノ
