Streets ahead

Headphones are great but they aren’t speakers

For home use I have seen most people buy dirt in bags. A sedan or even a compact would handle carrying those. The open sides can be a benefit for sure, but I don’t know about putting cargo ‘as high as you want to,’ given that wind is a thing. And vans are pretty tall anyway!

I understand that they can have some utility on a farm or something, but the average person is not regularly transporting a ‘couple loads of dirt’ in suburbia.

A van will have more cargo volume for the same wheelbase, be easier to load, and have the cargo be covered from the elements. Those are made for carrying stuff. Pick-ups are made only to show that the owner is compensating for something.

Water flosser works great for me personally

Last time I canceled it it was very easy to do (amazon.ca)

It’s easier that some think, but it is not easy. Of course it is more convenient to just keep using the thing you are already using, and no one is saying that clicking one button and getting a package the next day can’t be a time save, just that it is not impossible or extremely difficult to stop using the service.

And retail businesses with physical locations definitely don’t do the exact same thing as Amazon, given that you can go to the store to get your item as opposed to needing it delivered.

FLauncher is decent

The issue with wanting a bigger battery is that many high end laptops already have the largest capacity that you can take on an aircraft in NA/EU (100 Wh)

May I suggest an actual timer? Almost all of us already have one, it’s even more precise, and does not require additional plastic waste. 7:30 makes a perfect medium egg every time.

It looks like NAND and therefore SSD pricing is trending up currently due to some supply limitations. If you want to get some large drives it might be best to try to do it soon, or be prepared for a wait/inflated pricing.

100% but many people don’t care about this stuff at all. They will happily toss their nonstick pan in the dishwasher, ruining it, and then buy a new one a year or two later when it doesn’t work properly anymore, or just suffer with it and conclude that they are bad at cooking. When you try to discuss seasoning, hand washing, and the intricacies of frying pan materials, their eyes immediately glaze over. Nonstick pans have the advantage of just working when you get a new one, and that is really appealing to someone with low cooking knowledge or interest.

For meats yes, for everything else no.

Cast iron and to a lesser extent carbon steel require special considerations for seasoning, none of them are dishwasher safe. Stainless steel doesn’t really need seasoning but is significantly easier to get high protein food stuck on than PTFE

Both of these do require more maintenance and patience than nonstick, which will inevitably make some people upset

Nonstick pans, though most of the harm is from manufacture, not end-use

Firefox btw

Syncthing works very well for Logseq, I use it on 4 different devices and changes only take a couple seconds to be synchronized. The app even automatically refreshes the data when a change is made so you don’t have to worry about only having one instance open at a time.

Using the F40 preview with KDE and a regular update from Discover rolled xz back to the known good version 5.4.6

Interesting, I had zero problems with the RPMFusion Nvidia driver on Fedora on two machines that did have TPM and secure boot. In fact, it was surprisingly easy.
