Tell me you're trolling? It's an industrial lathe. Probably non functional, but if turned on would shred that kid like tissue paper in a lawnmower.

27,000 deaths a day approximately. According to the WHO 150,000 people die every day right now. 385,000 people are born every day. I mean it sounds bad, but in this context it doesn't sound that bad....

I don't know, I'm a pretty left leaning person. The vitriolic, almost violent responses to some of my comments is shocking. I knew Lemmygrad was a thing here, along with tankies, honestly it's off putting to say the least. OP talks about Reddit being an echo chamber. I got news for you. This place is just as bad for lefty type discourse being regurgitated. My experience is that it has been anything but friendly.

Nice, I hope the app is making enough to keep the updates coming.

I'm a land lord, did exactly what people say we all did. 15 years ago I bought two 200k homes for 30k each.. they are an income plan for my kids so they don't have to necessarily worry about taking a better paying job instead of something they want to do. Probably a little naive now. But I run the houses at a bare minimum profit just so the government won't come after me due running a loss on my taxes. I have raised rent only enough to do that. I pay for a property management firm to take care of the properties so that the tenants have 24 hour response to issues. I've had the same tenants for 12 years in both properties. Every 4 years or so I have one of the rooms that the tenants want renovated. It's a right off so doesn't costa fortune ava the house gets slowly updated. Not every landlord is an asshole. Some of us play the long game without screwing people. But I realize that I am part of the problem. I am part of the reason for less supply in the market. But selling my properties will make my children's lives less secure and I'm not willing to do that. So i do partially deserve some of the blame.

I owned an f150 for 11 years. It's honestly been my favorite vehicle. However, in the time I owned it, I used it to tow my motorcycles and race gear, I renovated almost every room in my house, and I had a seven kilometer drive to work. It was an extremely useful vehicle. Anyone that needs a truck will immediately argue with you that they aren't necessary... For some people. My kids got a little older, and I need to drive them and their friends around, I sold the bikes, and I sold the truck for 50% of what I paid for it. I bought a 6 seater explorer. You may not like trucks, but they have their uses. If they sold UTEs in the USA/Canada I would have bought one in a second. I used to carry a tow strap too to pull civics out of the ditch during snow storms.

Farmers almanac, the astrology of meterology.

I'm a sync ultra user. My sense of superiority is only eclipsed by my ignorance of what FOSS stood for. But seriously use what you like. I just want lemmy to grow.

Ahhhh, all these posts make so much more sense. Lol

Can I ask, what the heck is FOSS?

Holy shit, I haven't seen goofus and gallant in about 40 years.

I also would like to know what the fuck is going on here and am I missing out?
