I have washed shoes on gentle before with success. Technique, I put them in a pillowcase that closes first to keep laces from tangling

It is a bummer that you are feeling financially stressed, but the price of things won’t get better by electing a felon. His stated policies will make things worse

Meh, it works for me. I like it here more than reddit. Sorry that you haven’t found your groove. It toom me a while of finding the right things to subscribe and right folks to follow before my feed felt fun and interesting. I use Lemmy as a jumping off point for rabbit holes that are interesting to me

You should still set airplane mode when airborne for other reasons besides interference with the aircraft. For one, you’ll save your battery. It takes a lot of “juice” for your device to search for cell towers that are likely out of reach. You may also want to avoid connecting to a tower outside where you have coverage. E.g. for a flight from Anchorage to Minneapolis, maybe you don’t want to connect to Canadian cell towers and potentially receive charges in another country. Obviously this depends on your plan limits. But, yeah, it’s not really about protecting the airplane, in most cases

This reply is meant to generate discussion. It is not sarcasm or meant to be taken negatively at all:

What is the purpose of any rules? Why have them? Is it possible to make a “perfect” rule or policy or public intervention whereby all affected persons are serviced fairly? Probably not. If you conclude we need rules, how do we balance their benefits with the disenfranchisement of some of the persons affected negatively?

In your specific case, how do you make the rules minimize negative outcomes without excessively sacrificing the potential positive outcomes?

I’m genuinely interested in your perspective from your age and place in time.

These are good and valid questions. If you’re passionate about them, you may consider studying political science and/or law in the future. One day, if you’re still passionate about this topic, you may be in a position to change the rules.

Travel for work all over and don’t have a car or other reasonable transportation in random cities. It costs less for delivery than 2 taxi/Uber rides and I dont have to risk getting lost in a weird place I don’t know. Hotel room service is not good in most places

Yes, yes, don’t use, always have avoided anyway. I also touch grass more often, which is nice

I’m a big fan of Ground News. Helps wading through the pool

I was lurking for a comment like this. You’ve described my feeling exactly. Lemmy feels a bit more mature. I went cold turkey for reddit and I’m not going back. Btw, I use Connect app and really live it. I don’t seem to have some of the technical issues that I see others talk about with Lemmy

In order, I think: Civ, Minecraft, rocket league, no man’s sky, Skyrim, missile command, Mario kart, Mario 64, ocarina of time
