Yeah but then you'd be stuck driving it for another couple weeks.

I'm certainly not. And I decided that election night was going to be the day I got sober so that's fun. 120 days of no booze!

McDonalds isn't a fast food company. They are a real estate investment company. Their former CFO said as much "we are not technically in the food business. We are in the real estate business. The only reason we sell fifteen-cent hamburgers is because they are the greatest producer of revenue, from which our tenants can pay us our rent." - Harry J Sonneborn

uBlock Origin + PiHole FTW.

I mean, there's already apps that are good that were created by reddit app developers. E.g. Boost for Lemmy. The problem isn't the apps, it's the availability of content and people. The /r/orioles on reddit has 85,163 subscribers. 110 people on the page right now. /c/Baltimore_Orioles here has 150 subscribers and no posts in 4 months which was a bot posted game thread with 0 comments on it. The problem is meaningful content and people to interact with, not the UI. There's no reason to join if you want to talk sports because there's no on to talk sports with. I'm not going to sit in game threads by myself and post my thoughts to no one.

The tough part for me is that the reason I use Reddit is for bullshitting with people about sports teams I like. Lets look at some of the communities here.

• Baltimore Orioles -- There's one on lemmy.world with 150 subscribers. The last post is from 4 months ago and it's a game thread posted by a bot with 0 comments. There's also one on fanaticus.social with the last post from 7 months ago.
• Carolina Panthers -- There's one on fanaticus.social with 3 subscribers.
• Miami Heat -- There's one on lemmy.world with 10 subscribers.
• Pittsburgh Penguins -- Again, lemmy.world with 11 subscribers.

I'd love to get off reddit but until there's actually people to talk with, this place is just never going to meet the needs of sports content that I use Reddit for. I had no interest in Bluesky until some people actually got on it as well. The Shutdown Fullcast for college football brought a bunch of people and fans there so it gave some utility to the site. Without utility, there's no reason to be here.

Oddly enough, the rise of software as a service I think has led to Linux being a more viable option for business use. For my work, I'd still be personally missing MS Excel but that's because I hate LibreOffice Calc with a passion. I cannot understand some of their keybindings which are not changeable. But so much of what I use these days is just in web browsers.

It's honestly a big part of why I don't spent as much time here. Half the posts are just complaining about what Reddit/Elon are doing.

I'm just happy that there is finally some good NA beers. I realized I had a problem drinking where I would just want to keep drinking once I started but I had such a connection between beer and sports that it became hard to watch sports without wanting a beer which would then turn in to me wanting 12 beers. Just being able to have a good NA beer which tricked my mind into thinking I'm having a beer. My brain didn't get the dosage of alcohol that I needed to keep drinking booze so I could just have 2 of them during an Orioles game and not worry about it. I've only had 8 total drinks since election night. Never more than 2 in a day but I've decided that I'm totally off booze since those 8 drinks.

2020 for $4 billion.

Is data on when I turn the oven on, and how long I run it for, even worthwhile?

They wouldn't be holding you hostage for it if it wasn't.

No need to board shame him. He's just rocking with what he's got. It's not the size of the board, it's the motion on the pavement.
