Good points! I should have remembered telemarketing, I actually did that for 3 years! But two years in office, covid let us do it from home.

I’m surprised to hear a phone for $100 referred to as cheap.

Fair point. That was the cheapest I could find one that did GPS, cam/vid, and have some apps on it. I do have a crappy flipphone for $30, but I found out that girls I date like to text. A lot. So texting/sending pics/vids was something I found I needed.

But yeah, my gf has a $1,000 iPhone. I'm like wtf! lol

Good to know. I may have to revisit this idea.

In your experience, is making your own bread cheaper than just buying bread? Or do you do it for the love of making your own bread?

I like the idea of it, but if it ends up being more expensive anyway, I don't really wanna do it. It's just so easy to buy a loaf of bread at the store.

But I also like the idea of making some tasty bread and mixing in some protein powder so I could have protein bread. lol

I'll look into that. It gets quite cold here in the winter, but we have a LOT of sunny days.

I actually had to drop a huge chunk of my savings on a new water heater last year, so this could def be something I'll look into so I can plan ahead. Thank you!

Love this cover!

I actually like the look of these!

Just curious, and not to beat a dead horse, but if Lemmy can give us notifications that comments are removed, why can't it do a simple ban notification as well?

Because I always get notified when a post or comment has been removed.

Seems simple enough make the removal notification that led to banning something as simple as "Your comment has been removed for xxxx reason. And now you are banned from the community due to reasons xxxxx."

I realize that my particular situation here has been resolved and we can move on, but I'm just curious if the lack of banning notifications is a software issue or if it's a philosophical issue for Lemmy and the fediverse.

Ok, thank you! I'm retiring in a few months, and I think I will jump right into this stuff. So I'll keep an eye out. :)

Modlog, search for “harassing.”

And no examples. I still have no clue what they determined to be harassing. I got many nasty dm's and would reply in kind, but I don't see how that is harassing. Plus I'm quite aware that DM's aren't private. But again, their instance and their rules.

Not for your behavior on the previous instances exactly, but for starting up the same behavior from new accounts since you’d already been banned for it, which is against the rules.

Which we have already discussed wasn't done on this instance, in your community or any other instance. It's again, your assumption.

Really, let's just end it here. You obviously think I'm a troll. I disagree. That's ok. Let's agree to disagree.

I won't be posting to your community, now I know how your bot works, and we can just move on. Thank you.

Is there somewhere where we can follow the solar panel stats for this instance or that details the set up? This sounds fascinating to me.

Wow, this is a great resource. Thank you for this!
