From the sound of things, he took the money to help an abuser get his rape victim back ----- eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeshhhh

Fun fact: even “regular style” crutches are not actually supposed to rest in your armpits! You are supposed to hold onto the arm portion and use them similarly to the above crutches. When we adjusted that for the spouse, we had to shorten the crutches by like 2-3 inches and he said it was WAY more comfortable.

There are some videos on YouTube by physiotherapists etc that were supremely helpful - recommend giving them a quick watch and readjusting your crutches.

In Canada, A&W has cheaper prices for WAY better quality food. It was a few years back we were enjoying some “as a treat” and realized it was not just significantly better than McD’s, but also much cheaper, and we decided we just weren’t going back.

My household is partial to a couple of chicken buddy burgers in a time crunch.

Luckily it is not too hard to make my friend! Whip yourself up a batch tonight.

Pho!

I moved to Edmonton, AB from the US South and holy crap, the darkness is unreal. Even the locals struggle with this pitch-black 4pm nonsense.

That said, the city has a lot of focus on indoor spaces that really saves it. I used to go to West Ed mall just to walk around somewhere without a coat for free, you know?

The real gem of the city is the Muttart Conservatory though - and a year-long pass is like $30?? For an indoor rainforest??

Makes it worth living in the winter.

Yeah let’s just salt the earth

To anyone reading the summary, this does not do it justice.

Read the article in full this time.

Parent company doesn’t want ANYONE to have direct read access to the database - only the scant few heavily formatted reports the user-facing software will allow. Data analysis still needs to get done though, so…

Yeah. PQ -> Data Model saves my ass and my co-workers think I’m a wizard.

That, and learning how to quietly exploit minor vulnerabilities in the software to get raw tables I “shouldn’t” have and telling not one soul has been a winning combo!

Bed sheet suspenders. Dumb problem, stupidly cheap, horribly made, and ABSOLUTELY fixed the friggin sheets being yanked off the corner of the bed twice a night by my tumble-dry-medium sleeper of a spouse.

When they finally broke after almost 2 years I sewed some that’ll last 10 years and I don’t regret them at all.

The No Name ice cream wafers are also the best around, and the cheapest to boot!

We were actually surprised that not only were they just as good at like ⅓ the price, they were WAY better.

You can get a giant pack of them for literally the price of a checkout line candy bar.

It was my understanding that defederation was a one way thing? So if instance A defederates instance B, A will not see anything from B but B could still see things from A?

Honestly, yeah - to me it feels like Reddit, but better at Reddit’s core values.

Anonymity -> flexible screen names, usernames per instance, no karma, privacy focused community

Community -> smaller, focused instances coming together like broader subreddits with their own rules and ethos

Diversity -> decentralized federated content has the potential to be even more broad

Discussion focus -> sort by active rocks

No incentive for enshittification or vector for monolithic control/collapse it’s decentralized, and even if one server goes full monetized no one else has to, you can move instances without losing access to the broader ecosystem.

I also feel like there will be less (but not zero) incentive for bots/repost accounts, “karma farming”, trolling, and astroturfing generally with the simple removal of that damn karma system.

So I’m here to stay and I’m bugging my partner to join also - their main hobby already has an instance of it’s own, and I feel like they could really shake things up over there!

Another Sync afficionado here - their “We officially don’t do Reddit anymore, look out for us on Lemmy!” banner July 1st is how I got here!

Ok that’s actually hilarious.
