That's a good question, Rotting Cum. The only crimes I'm planning on right now are saving some money doing diy maintenance on the family car while finding an interesting little project for myself.

Oh man, how do I account for anti-seize lube?

Thank you, I hadn't considered that style. All the YouTube videos use the mechanical click type, but you've got me thinking that the simpler beam style might be better for my situation.

What's a good torque wrench to get?

I want to replace the spark plugs in my car and I'm apparently going to have to torque them to 30Nm. #diy #tools

I'm running a Pixelfed instance off of an old PC in my house. Eventually I 'd like to set up a personal Lemmy instance as well.

Venus flytraps are great plants to keep, but they're not effective for pest control, especially against tiny gnats. The gnats you have are probably fungus gnats and your houseplants' soil is infested with their larvae. To get them under control you have to innoculate the soil with nematodes that eat the larvae. The particular brand I got on Amazon aren't available anymore, but the species was s. feltiae and they worked really well. There might be other good or better nematodes, but that's how you get rid of the gnats.

Where? I'm not a fan of her, but Elizabeth Warren's wealth tax proposal is just a way to capture some more revenue (to do the things I mentioned) on a more progressive basis. There aren't really any claims here about fixing inequality.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Take another shower. Taxes aren't used to fix inequality. They're used to fund infrastructure and services that we all need. They're also used sometimes to redistribute income, but the idea isn't to solve inequality. The idea is to get some income, in one form or another, to people who cannot or should not work, like the sick, children, the elderly, and anyone else excluded from the workforce. This non-working population needs income as much as the working population does and it doesn't make sense to force them to get it in inefficient and harmful ways. Taxation to solve inequality is a myth that isn't happening.

Well, I'd definitely get the lawyers and CPAs to make sure that bag is secure and protect my family's privacy as much as possible. After that...

  • I'd hire a high-end architect to renovate my home.
  • I'd hire a personal trainer to help my family get really fit.
  • I'd buy a big vacation for our extended families.
  • Buy a less family-friendly vacation for our friends.
  • ~~Hire a therapist so I don't go insane.~~
  • There's a small, vacant movie theater in my town. I'd buy it and get it up and running again.

This is great!

Yeah, that's exactly it. It's an open source alternative to Instagram based on ActivityPub, like Mastodon and Lemmy. In terms of functionality I think it's better than Instagram. There are no ads or sinister algorithms; I can select and copy text; I can easily reshare posts I like; and I can include working hyperlinks in my posts and replies.

The main benefits to running your own instance are that you don't have to rely on anyone else to keep the site running and you can decide for yourself about federating or not with other instances. For me it's also just a fun little DIY project to set up and maintain my own server.

Yes, I decided to host my own Pixelfed instance and I needed a URL. Still working out the kinks. Apparently, replying to a comment from a Lemmy user doesn't work properly.

I remember when I was trying to take this photo the spider jumped on the lens and I might have screamed.
