@Subject6051

My family put us to the church as kids as little as needed to prove that they exposed us to it. I thank them for that minimal exposure because I've always felt agnostic (of course, that was verbalized as atheism as a kid). My mom was raised German christian, my dad was raised Quaker.

I think that the most meaningful lessons I learned about religion were from my father (who never once mentioned god, Jesus or the church).

My father's religion was one of acceptance of all others, refusal of indoctrination to any structured religion and an absolute knowledge that men (and women) make their faith and their covenant to each other, not to a church. Thanks, dad!

I, like you, code for myself not others and not professionally. Take a dive into Xcode and Swift if you're in the Apple world. It is just stupid easy to throw together an app or tool in no time at all.

@Blaze
I am going to go against the (obviously upvoted) grain and say that I do not want this to be a reprise of /r/movies. That is what they did and I am stupidly against reproducing the /r experience. I don't want community "structure" I want to see what people have to say without conforming to a proscribed way of doing it. Having said that, if you post the thread: "current releases", "what did you watch", etc - I would happily engage with you about it.

Thanks for saving me a click. I could tell by the wording it was a likely click-bait but I was intrigued because Tina rocks.

Can't read the article - it wants me to turn off my ad blocker.

@thomas I think you're looking for SNORT, which is a packet sniffer used in intrusion detection. It has been a long time since I used it but I suspect that there are plug-ins that will do exactly what you're looking for.

I do similar, except I scan the receipt with my phone and save the file with a name like "Oil 78542" - recording what I did and the mileage. Then I throw the paper away.

My actual job is to inspect homes. It is an industry joke that Joe-diy-guy grabs a can of great-stuff expando foam and “fixes” it…leaving a jacked up mess that rats just chew through to get in again. There are better ways of securing entry points.

@SirNuke Another option if you don’t want to source excluder mesh is to get some “backer rod” - a painter’s product sold as “caulk saver” at the home improvement palace. You use it to fill large gaps which you then seal over with caulk or silicone.

@SirNuke The other reason to not use steel wool is that it can be a fire hazard. A low voltage shorted across steel wool will result in fire (I carry a 9-volt and steel wool in my camping kit as emergency fire-starter).

@SirNuke All of the comments saying spray foam are technically correct - that is the easiest way but it will look like orange crap. Some people mentioned steel wool - avoid that because it rusts and will end up looking like orange crap. Find some "excluder mesh", which an inexpensive product sold to the pest control industry - it is a nylon mesh with reinforcing fibers...think Brillo pad stiffness. Stuff the gap to fill it then use silicone sealant to finish it off.

 

I wish there was a way to import and export block lists. I share time here on kbin and lemmy. I hate it when I think I've blocked a meme or sh!tpost source just to see it on the other site. Ideally it would be cool to have a locally stored blocklist that could be updated when a new magazine (or lemmy sub) is blocked then read back in when logging in to either site.
