I’m interested in many things and I’m always side tracked by more things.

  • I mean, it’s a big comfort thing too. I have zero interest in walking or using public transport in negative temps or 80+ degree weather. I enjoy not struggling to survive a trip.

    There is actually a bigger city that spent in the ball park of 500k putting in a miles of a walking/bike path, less then 10 people showed up for it’s “grand opening” and it’s so unused there isn’t even trash or homeless camps. It was dubbed a waste of money.



  • I’ll continue to pay extra for a large truck. Handling, strength, towing, hauling. I’m positive I’ll get mostly downvotes but it doesn’t make a difference, I’ll still be driving my truck dozens of miles commuting every day! 9-12 MPG, pure diesel baby!

    • Handling & Enjoyment: I enjoy having something bigger, it handles great.
    • Strength: It’s not gonna total out going thru a fence or hitting a deer. (Confirmed)
    • Towing, Hauling/Payload: No rentals needed. Summer time fun with the boat, coolers, off roading, camping and so forth. Helpful to friends, saves them a buck. Great for work too. Oh and saving all the smaller cars who got stuck in the winter time, literally saving lives.

  • I’m in a very small town, we only have a bar. $100/mo for 500mb/s up and down, at least I actually get that though. Rarely is it less, but they also hooked us all up with fiber when they ran the fiber thru the center of the city. Price is also largely because they are literally the only internet provider unless you go with satellite – which I was considering but with the weather here…probably not ideal.








  • What makes you think it’s “just to read announcement”. The initial post didn’t even mention announcements, nor was it the purpose of the discord. Yet that’s all you can seem to hold on to. It’s already been stated there was miscommunication on one announcement and that was that.


    Do you see the issue now or do you need help?

    This doesn’t even make sense because it appears you didn’t even read the original discord post or even have an understanding about it.

    A) It’s not a requirement to join discord, and never was made to be.

    B) Discord is of itself a community communication platform for IM.

    C) Millions of people actively use discord, it’s a popular platform and easier then others like Matrix. If it was something I didn’t already use, I would’ve never joined.


    Your message is filled with incorrect assumptions and it appears your unwilling to go find the answers that are even on the same page as these comments. It’s very surprising with the internet nowadays and people can’t even seem to find information that is right in front of them, yet they act like they already have the facts.


  • Why would I be active in the DC when its supposedly purpose was announcements about the site and whenever this site is down?

    Could you please clarify your source, the discord post as OP mentioned doesn’t read that. Lemmy.world announced their Discord server. And if you looked around the main purpose isn’t focused around announcements. It seems there was miscommunication and it wasn’t posted to lemmy, mistakes happen.

    “Why would you assume/expect people join in a DC server to interact?”

    That is sort of the point of Discord as a instant message community platform.

    I joined the discord because:

    • The internal lemmy direct messages sucks.
    • I already use discord anyways.
    • It’s a great way to not spam unrelated comments. etc

    Why did you join?



  • Yes, with basic and common tools. Doesn’t mean they have to be of quality, cheap metal screws for example. Hopefully not the case but it’d be annoying.

    For example if they opt for the screw method, over the pop-off back (which I’d prefer). There will be screws to remove, most likely a gasket to replace, tape or something that ensures the battery doesn’t move around etc.

    Even with current battery replacements, there is more parts then just the battery during the replacement. And of course “without causing damage” except if you have to remove the back that is glass and knock it off the table, that’s a +1 for apple, same if you loose a tiny screw or something else that is 1/1000 chance but Apple still makes money.
