Kill on sight; like an IP ban, but if you made an alt account to get around it, that account would get banned too

I dunno, I'm from the really old days of forums where you either had an alt account to moderate with, or where the penalties for harassing a mod over a moderation action was a kos

I kinda feel like it should be the norm for it to be public, but there's a line to be drawn somewhere to disallow endless arguments about it

This is a great post. +1 for potatoes and onions. (Just don't store them together, they spoil each other faster)

One thing I'll add is that if the OP is in the United States, commercially sold eggs have the bloom washed off them before they get to store shelves, so they MUST be refrigerated.

You can get dehydrated egg products that are shelf stable until you use them. They're not perfect but for most purposes they're good enough.

It used to, I believe the option to anonymize the acting moderator was added in at some point

Must be reliving his memories with Epstein

There are some instances that lean in specific directions, but there are also several that are kind of just melting pots. For the most part I don't need to use blocks too frequently, but there are definitely some spaces/users that I find are too hostile that it gets in the way of their intended messaging. But then, that line is going to be different for everybody.

Habits can be built and rebuilt. I've known a disappointing amount of people who refuse to use a calendar for reminders out of pride and end up being all over the place in the end.

The lawsuit in question is a civil matter, not a criminal one, but you are correct that that is the case if a state prosecutor does decide to bring criminal charges

Uh, nope, you're putting words in my mouth. It's not realistic to worry about mitigating that kind of stuff when we can't even prevent ourselves from cooking ourselves, and several of the things you listed don't even have plausible technical solutions right now. Nice try, though.

a planetary catastrophe out of our control

You're still describing climate change. Science fiction ideas are fun to think about but our own inability to live harmoniously with nature is going to kill us off before any of those problems become relevant.

Title. I found out recently that I need some major dental work in the near future and I don't have a damn clue how I am going to raise the extra money. I want to explore any realistic options for increasing my earnings before I have to resort to taking on debt, and I suspect that soliciting ideas in a semi-public place like this will turn up a lot of ideas I would never have considered myself.

I'm not very physically fit, but I am pretty good with computers generally, and I've picked up a little bit of programming in my free time this year, though I wouldn't sell myself as a freelancer in that department or anything. I am also pretty good at proofreading / nitpicking things, my regular job is in QA.

Thank you in advance for any input.
