Learned that a less-hard-way when I killed my battery charging it overnight. Thank god the stupid did not remain with me long when I found out why this was a very bad (as like the article) expensive idea.

I’m going to presume you just kind of phrased this badly and not downvote you.

This is a good answer and probably the right solution (still not 100% convinced defederating isn’t, ultimately, going to be the answer though).

But your Jane/Joe Average User doesn’t look to see which instance that pr0n cute picture of a cat holding a teddy bear is on. They probably don’t even understand the concept of different instances showing content from others. Hell I’ve been online since 1992 and it took me a couple of days to get my head around it when I joined.

So I think we need some kind of step by step “If you see X, then do Y” sticked to the instances that care about this for the people who (like me) do care about this issue.

Can we use fire again to put down the rebellion, pretty please?

I will sound like a shrill, but I love everything they make. Even though the City Pack Pro X-Pac became, accidentally and relative to initial cost, the single most expensive bag I own due to my stupid brother.

I live in Europe, and you have to pay big taxes on any imports by mail. So I asked my brother if I could mail to him and he’d mail it to me, like in the old days (20 years ago or so). Sure, he says no problem, when do you need it? I say not in a hurry but leaving for a trip in like three weeks, so if it made it here by then that would be nice.

Two weeks later he texts me saying I owe him USD 120 for shipping. I said WTF? He sent it express, like an idiot. The bag costs about USD 239. So, ok fine it least I’ll have it for my trip.

Nope. Three weeks later I call the UPS center. They got my bag, all right, but I owe EUR 135 in taxes and duties. My brother - who used to know how to do these things, insured it for USD 400 and wrote on the item description “brand new back pack.” That fuckwad (whom I love, but damn bro, you grew up stupid sometimes).

Anyway even at that price it’s worth it, and it too has all the features you mention above + in X-Pac + with a contrasting interior color. I may have gone to their flag ship “store” (a tiny, tiny little store front) in SF and fanboy’ed for an hour or so before buying a small inside bag. And I may or may not have ordered two of their computer peripheral storage bags, one for me and one as a bribe/tribute to our head of IT…

Anyway, ahem. It’s the ultimate combo between a carry on bag and an (largish) urban commuter bag. /Shrill, and if anyone from Aer is reading this, a discount code maybe?

Yeah, I use that sometimes, but it’s really hit or miss. Thanks for the reminder though!

It’s all linked to Russian commodities, especially oil, and the dark fleet. No, I will not explain how I know this.

I too am skeptical, but there have been so many of these the last few days… is it just a new meme?

Anyone have a non-Paywall link?

And the SWIFT System.

And many parents working two jobs while living in a food desert have few good alternatives. Ain’t got the time nor money.

That’s how you keep folks scared.

Very cool poster, thanks!

N=18. No control.

That’s a fair point and needs to be explored. But the study does not do what it says on the tin.

There are plenty of valid reasons for wanting one. I’m not against them. They just don’t suit my particular use case, and I hate deliberately misleading studies.

I’m not part of the community, but I would like to say it is heartening to see such a wonderful discussion on Lemmy.

Department of war math represent.

Not OP but can I just comment that there are some high-quality answers here, good discussion. Thanks!
