I ditched my goodreads account once I learned about bookwyrm as an alternative, I'm liking it so far

So that's what a train looks like

This little cunt of mine tended to inflame every other month instead of teething already. I decided to remove it, and I ended up spending almost 2 hours in surgery because it had fused into another tooth. Instead of coming out cleanly, it broke and a few fragments were left behind

Doc said it was okay to leave it as it would be absorbed or come out again eventually. Almost a year later, and the little prick sends his regards by inflaming my face completely and having to rush to surgery again.

Hopefully it was the end of that. Fuck this SOB

I'll look into that one too, I didn't know about it

Which bullshit are you talking about? I might have missed it and my search didn't bring much on it

edit: I think i found it: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/40123727/17360792

We should actually use an opensource, decentralized and private alternative instead of relying on another centralized service

See Fileverse for example: https://fileverse.io/

I had never heard of peertube before. I really liked it and this video had great production value. I love when they use their own footage. Also, don't forget your croissant

At least where I'm from, some stores offer discount for cash greater than the cashback. I always ask :)

As much skepticism as it might have, if you can't use cash for a transaction, crypto is another viable alternative which can be decentralized, trustless and private preserving, as long as you don't fall for VC scams like Solana, Avalanche, Sui, etc

As always, DYOR

And have a way for it to be trustless as well

very low RHs

What's RH in this context?

I bought a refurbished old laser brother 5 years ago and it's a tank. I'd go that route again personally

The worst part is that parking lot is probably mandatory per city regulations. We should abolish parking mandates country wide! (and you can help too, see https://parkingreform.org/)

What do you use against fire ants?

Native plants ftw! Did anyone look into pocket forests too? I'll try to pitch it on my next community meeting

Most cities are regulated to prevent more housing being built. You should definitely read on the works of Strong Towns, and similar groups, and how you can help change the landscape of your city

Their website is great and has a ton of details https://www.strongtowns.org/

Better for your health too, they are obsessed with too much sugar in everything

Sometimes it's not even direct violence, redlining is sufficient to keep you stuck where they want you to be

Decentralization is key

Oh, I agree that mass transit wouldn't really work in areas that aren't as dense, but we should definitely have those where possible. I didn't mean to say we don't need good car options, but we should also have more options besides just cars

Now regarding bikes and winter, I'd say that's more of an infrastructure problem. Finland also has terrible winter, yet they can bike as usual. You should watch this video if you are interested in this theme: "Why Canadians Can't Bike in the Winter (but Finnish people can)"

I have a better alternative: invest in viable alternatives to driving! expand protected bike lanes, build the damn high speed rail, more trains, trams and bus lines. One more asphalt lane for cars wont solve traffic problems :)
