Thinking a lot smaller here..... I've always wanted to build a custom pinball machine. I already possess most of the necessary skills, but the materials are expensive and I don't really have the time or space to do it right
Seriously, the past 2 winters in the northeast have been the lowest snow on record by quite a margin. I've got some snowmobiles and normally can get in around 10-15 rides per season, but this winter we only got 3. Two of which were on the same weekend. The whole rest of the winter there wasn't enough snow
I miss craigslist, but unfortunately just nobody uses it anymore. Everyone is using Facebook marketplace and for this type of thing you kind of have to sell where the buyers are. It sucks because the quality of people is so much worse, but at least there are actually people there. I can't even count the number of times I'm selling something and get a "Is tHIs sTILl aVaiLAble??!!?!;;??!", which I answer "yes, if you see the ad it's available" and then never hear from them again. Very frustrating. On the flip side, BUYING things is actually easier because if you prove that you're intelligent enough to reply to a message then you basically are guaranteed to be able to buy the item
Pebble is peak smartwatch. Fight me on it, I wont change my mind. Its just smart enough, without being too smart. Battery lasts for days, its waterproof, and side buttons instead if some impossible to use tiny-ass touchscreen. Perfection.
My dads car was actually damaged by a touch car wash. One of the brushes caught on the edge of his hood and folded over the hood metal. It was a huge pain, had to fight the car wash company to pay for the damage (they eventually did) and even still you can tell where it was repaired. Plus they wouldnt pay for color matching so he had to pay out of pocket for that.
Between that and the possibility of some tiny rock or grain of sand being caught in a brush and scratching the heck out of my car, I now only ever use touchless or wash it myself if the weather is warm. Im in upstate NY where we get pretty cold winters, so whenever it dips above freezing ill run through the touchless just for the underbody spray to get the road salt off
Unpopular opinion - in Spotify (and Spotify ONLY) I actually like that it does this. I like discovering new music and Spotify seems to have really good recommendations sometimes. Sure they collect a lot of listening data - but how else could they give good recommendations if they don't know what you like?
At least for movies, I've actually gone back to DVDs. I can find them for $1 each at the flea market or garage sales, and once I own them thats it - no subscriptions and nobody can decide to randomly remove them from my collection.
Yeah I think OP's preferred subject has something to do with the issue he's having. I mainly watch car and tech videos, and I even use the algorithm suggestions sometimes (bad, I know), and I rarely see anything I don't want to or that makes me roll my eyes.
I like LTT, Junkyard Digs, Pole Barn Garage (small channel, just passed 100k subs), and Donut Media
I'm sure it's intended to indicate that "nobody asked for...", but personally I find that almost all memes that use it would be better off without it. It's honestly kind of annoying.
Idk, I feel like all the reddit users who are going to transition (of which I am one) have already done so
Maybe this is an unpopular opinion but the word "Fediverse" leaves a sour taste in my mount just because it sounds so much like the stupidity that was "Metaverse" (yes I know they are completely unrelated)
I used to not have AC. I found the best strategy was to open up all the windows at night and let the cool night air in, and then as soon as I wake up I close all the windows, curtains and blinds to trap the cool air in and prevent the sun from heating it up through the windows. If you live in a house that has a basement and central heating, you could add some intake ducts down there and turn your furnace on to fan only mode to circulate the cool basement air into the rest of the house.
