Sigmatank,

I save the butcher paper that comes in a lot of the packages I order, and use that + twine to wrap things. It can look cute and old school and saves a bunch on buying wrapping paper (I also try and buy that on massive clearance after Christmas, and if I can get more generic or even just winter themed paper I’ll angle for that to use for birthday gifts later in the year)

Sigmatank,

The premade soylents are pretty good, and I regularly have them with a protein bar as my lunch. They’re pretty expensive in my opinion, so I try and look for them on sale, but the ease of not having to prep lunch is often worth it. I try and keep it under $2 a bottle for the 14oz ones, which still feels expensive to me, but some of the lunches I prep are around that cost, and it’s way cheaper than going out to eat (I keep a spare one at work in case I ever forget to bring lunch)

Sigmatank,

Subscribed! I rarely have many of these to post, but will share when I see some

Sigmatank,

That’s because it was Christopher Lloyd!

Sigmatank,

Stroganoff or else.

To be honest, I think the best way to get Lemmy to grow in the near term will probably be getting more people to use both Mastodon and Lemmy, rather then hoping more people will shake away from reddit. I’m active on Lemmy but probably use mastodon more.

Sigmatank,

These posts are going to make me go back and read the last 5-7 years of QC that I missed when I forgot about it

Sigmatank,

Buy their soap I guess?

Sigmatank,

Free refill man. Just point my finger and any beverage is refilled.

Sigmatank,

Ah, see I assume some sort of anime rules apply to the power and the larger the vessel the more it would sap my energy.

I guess I would still need to worry about being kidnapped by nestle and being hooked up to a feeding tube and gives to use my powers anyway…

Sigmatank,

He’s gotta buy the wares somewhere…

Sigmatank,

Everytime I see this Picture, I really think of it as a wonderful form of modern art.

Sigmatank,

It’ll be exciting to see who steps in and provides this service to in the void being left… Surly Netflix won’t try and stop somebody coming in and running a boutique service for those still interested in this…

Also I’ve now learned that gamefly both still exists and has a DVD by mail service

Sigmatank,

What community is it? Maybe people here will have some ideas for you

Sigmatank,

FYI, this is from a parody account that makes up facts/quotes. Still funny, but in a “The Onion” way

Sigmatank,

Honestly started using Mastodon right at the start of the Twitter announcements, although I had never used Twitter. I was getting worried about where most things online were trended and tended to use reddit for a bug chunk of my online browsing. I wasn’t really expecting reddit to implode so quickly after Twitter, but as I was already using mastodon another federated platform seemed good to join

Sigmatank,

Can’t stop the stroganoff

Sigmatank, (edited )

I’ve been trying specifically to comment on posts in areas where I want more content with something related to the post. There hasn’t necessarily been more NBA discussions, but I usually get a response from the poster, which is how you start the snowballs rolling I think

Sigmatank,

It was a surprisingly good film. I didn’t have huge expectations but it was fun, and not too serious or heavy handed.

Sigmatank,

It feels the same as the later season of the show. Some people would say that isn’t the hight of the show, but I still really like it

Sigmatank,

I don’t listen to a lot of hip hop, but God I love Aesop Rock. I’m now hyped for this to come out.

Sigmatank,

Welcome to late stage capitalism. The US is totally doing great…

Sigmatank,

I start with my subscribed top 6 hour, then move to all, and often go to top 1 hour or new because I open Lemmy more than once every 6 hours. Occasionally I’ll head over to active, that’s mostly when I want to read lots of comments

Sigmatank,

I really never thought I would want it, but I wouldn’t hate a top 3 hours… I get on Lemmy more than once every six hours

Sigmatank,

It amazing to me that I feel like the entire general public knew this was the case. Like… we’re not doctors or anything but it’s clear when something isn’t working. Great way to continue to sap confidence in the US medical system/regulations for it

How many ingredients does it take to call it a salad?

My significant other ate cucumbers and onion with some ranch. I called it a cucumber onion salad. She says there aren’t enough ingredients to call it a salad, because “it takes multiple ingredients”. I pointed out she had three and asked what the minimum is. She refuses to answer so I ask Lemmy.

Sigmatank, (edited )

Well, the cube rule of food says anything without a starch/bread is a salad, if you want an absurd authority to point to: cuberule.com

Sigmatank,

I would 100% play this. Reminds me a little bit of “Offices & Bosses”

Sigmatank,

As a not-that-tech savy person who is looking at getting back to using Linux (it’s been 5 or so years since I was running Ubuntu, I dual booted for awhile but WFH generally has made me Windows only) this sounds like a distro I would enjoy

Sigmatank,

I saw in the discussion on this toot that you can buy “commercial” televisions which are typically used for like menus signs for business etc that aren’t smart TVs and actually are probably slightly more durable. I’m generally planning to try and go that route on my next TV

Sigmatank,

That’s probably a better way to go

Sigmatank,

Yeah. It just feels like we need about 50% more users to help populate things a bit more here. Mastodon feels much more active/full to me, probably because it has a year or so already, and Xitter has done some many things to help drive people to alternatives.

I’m pretty happy with Lemmy as it is, but would certainly welcome another influx of people

Sigmatank,

Inflation hitting everywhere

Sigmatank,

Comcast is always terrible for me. (Recent got a fiber company into our neighborhood and couldn’t drop them fast enough) Waiting for like 45 minutes, getting somebody who can’t do anything, often having the call dropped. It’s not technically the fault of the employees, although they chose to work as such a terrible company, but they’re just given like 1% of an ability to do anything to help anyone.

Sigmatank,

I mean, it’s the low hanging fruit content. It gets done engagement, some amount of almost nostalgia, but doesn’t require much work to post. It’s not the end of the world, it just comes in larger volumes and takes up quite a bit of “all”. Honestly blocking some of those communities would probably work well to clean up your all feed if you wanted.

Sigmatank,

There a few things that we just haven’t crossed the threshold for yet that I found engaging (if not “addictive”) at Reddit, several of which were live threads about an event (NFL/NBA/Soccer/F1/etc). We’re not big enough here for that yet, where Mastodon is (you can get awesome interaction on hashtags about topics while they’re happening). The other thing was when a post got popular you could scroll through hundreds of comments with at least some thought behind them, and here it’s more like 10-25. The content is often better here, there is just less of it. Which is fine for me, it’s just a slightly different experience than I was having at Reddit, but I think some of those things will come with time.

Sigmatank,

Join a local instance, and then don’t forget to donate to it

Sigmatank,

If you haven’t seen jury duty, that was a great, if short series worth checking out

Sigmatank,

Very excited. I don’t always have enough time for games of this length, but always try and keep up with the better games in the genre.

Sigmatank,

Idk, this feels like something that wasn’t entirely needed. We’ll see if it’s any good

Sigmatank,

Give him the stick… DON’T GIVE HIM THE STICK

Sigmatank,

Looks like a serving suggestion

(Controversial) Should lemmy.world close registrations at a certain user count?

To support decentralization and spread, should lemmy.world close registration at some point to prevent a performance overload due to too many users? Of course, if registration is disabled, there could be a hint placed somewhere near that from other instances you can interact with content on lemmy.world just like you had...

Sigmatank,

I think strategic, times windows where sign ups are paused, in order to help distribute users, might be necessary. I don’t think that’s optimal for user experience, but I feel like if volume of sign ups stays where it is, that it’s probably needed.

Sigmatank,

I want something spread out from a maint instance, and is relevant to me, so I went with Midwest.social. I also knew about their mastodon track record, which helps me feel secure knowing it’s a good instance
