I think we’re just on different wavelengths. Anecdotally, it appears to me in most communities that I look in, people don’t want mass expansion. A lot of us like the smaller community where we recognize different regular users. More people means more drama and more shit. If the platform never expanded from where it is right now, I’d be satisfied as well as I think many others would be.

More diverse instances and sub Lemmy’s would be nice for more niche topics, but I don’t want to scroll through posts with thousands of comments.

But again, different strokes for different folks. It’s not what I’m looking for, but there certainly are people such as yourself that do.

Your right, but I can imagine what it would be like, and that’s something.

Most people here don’t want reddit size. We like discussion, and 10s of thousands of comments and bots. If it gets larger overtime and scales horizontally to keep the communities a reasonable size, that’s great. We’re here because it’s not Reddit, not because we want it to be reddit.

They don’t want every website to do it though.

In reality, black people are certainly marginalized. However, the person you replied to wasn’t talking about race.

You asked if it is, and the response was “yes”.

Go to a hardware store and in the fasters aisle they will almost for sure have a spot with different bolts to test thread size. Just clean it first to not get resin on everything.

I really hope all of this redistricting backfires and they cut their margins too slim.

I had to develop agentic solutions in Copilot Studio. It was easily the worse work I’ve ever had to do in IT, and I spent 4 years in GeekSquad/EasyTech before getting drafted to the pro league.

Worth every penny.

Sure, for basic projects if you don’t value security or efficiency.

It depends on the meds. We were doing a synthesized injection drug for my dog’s elbow dysplasia and arthritis, and that was a custom, specialized, expensive drug. The alternative to carprofen and gabapentin were cheap though. I think we got them and his allergy meds from Costco. Most expensive dog we ever had.

Brawno. It’s got what plants crave.

I asked what they have tried, I didn’t say they have to switch. I was providing some information that perhaps they didn’t have. You don’t have to be a righteous butthole about it.

You have to boot without network access then do the terminal command.

What distro of Linux did you use that was so difficult? Something like Mint is very entry level and intuitive. You don’t have to run any terminal commands if you don’t want to, and the out of box configuration is good enough that you don’t have to modify anything for a stable, up to date system.

I too owned a 1987 Caprice Classic. It was my first car but it was already probably 15 years old when I got it. Not sure if they offered it with different engine options, but it was indeed a tank. We called it the boat.

E: I just looked back, and I had a 1990 Caprice Classic, not the 87. Still, a tank.

Never done it, but I do put them on my deviled eggs. I wouldn’t personally mix it with the egg salad, but it would be a topping of the sandwich. I will for sure be doing this next egg salad batch I make though. I’m not sure why I’ve never tried it nor ever heard it. In the Midwest US.

Midwest US, but it’s really down to the insurance policy. This particular procedure was 100% covered other than copay. Copay was usually $50, but for specialties it was $75. If you have insurance, definitely check your policy. A lot of times vasectomy is explicitly called out.

It cost me a $50 copay with insurance (US), maybe $75 because “specialist” I don’t remember. Without insurance idk the cost, but I’d guess under $500.

Best $50 I’ve ever spent. Quick procedure, quick recovery with an excuse to not do anything for a couple days.
