Hold on, do you think this is a ban across all of Lemmy?

Thank you for responding with a redirect instead of a shut-down.

It's not a book ban, it's one particular bookstore stopped distribution of that book. The bookstore next to it prominently advertises that it sells that book.

There should be some communities built around an appreciation of anime. Spend time there, therefore posting to people who are there to see anime stuff. Block usernames that give you a hard time for liking what you like

For most things hobby related, it's best to directly ask what they'd like for Christmas that helps with their hobby. If they always talk about buying from one particular store or supplier, a gift card to there would be good

Edited for better words good

I just want to add that if your budget is so low that the item is not going to last, just don't.

Besides things that are fragile because they're fancy, get something good or skip it and do a gift card or something else entirely.

Also, if you do have budget to go around, focus on experiences over items.

Saving this for when I have time to watch it. The inner workings of computers are electricity and magic to me

There is good amount of energy in the sunshine. The output of solar arrays struggle to make big power out of small surface areas because we haven't figured out how to get more than 20% of the power that hits the panel. If they do get 20% or more, it's been with very expensive and fragile panels.

If you can park on top of a parking garage, or in a spot on ground level where sunshine is not too much blocked by the surrounding buildings, you could surely commute on sunshine. Home parking barely matters for day shift workers in this scenario.

Says the designer or design team, backed by whoever is over them who approved the decision.

As for why? For design reasons. To make it prettier so it sells more units. To fit in with the brand's minimalist theme they've got going on.

 

He says he can't. I'm so bummed.

This club can't even Handel me right now

 

An obvious opposite of a recent question

 

I'm looking for a better knife sharpener for my hard steel chef knife. I think whetstones are the way to go, but most of the sets I see are 4 double sided stones. Do I need that many stones?

Is there a totally different type of sharpener that you have had success with?

Edit: I should add that I like my knife very sharp, and I have a few tiny chips in the cutting edge from a cheap drag-through sharpener.

 

On android, I've had trouble with adguard.dns constantly kicking my phone off my wifi. It did great with blocking ads everywhere, but I'm done with reconnecting so often, and I have less data available on my phone plan these days to fill in.

I'm looking for something I can fill in this spot and it just works

What other addresses have you used that consistently block ads?

 

This time, with rules.

The other post got me thinking, here's my version.

For 5 million dollars, the task is the hide a paperclip in your home from a professional investigator. You have 15 minutes to hide it, they have 12 hours and subcontractors to find it. You cannot leave your house or have anything shipped in during your 15 minutes. You have to leave immediately after the 15 minutes is up, and you cannot have the paperclip on your person. Any family members, friends, and all pets will also be removed from the premises, and they aren't allowed to have the paperclip.

You must be able to produce the original paperclip at the end in order to win the challenge. It is marked in some way that you don't know but the investigator can verify. Absolutely no substitutions. You can bend the paperclip, but not cut it.

The paperclip must be inside the building. Not in a shared entryway, not outside the walls in any way. Between the studs of the outside walls of whatever you own or rent as living space are as far as you can go.

Any damage done by the investigator or subcontractors will be repaired back the way it was at no charge, win or lose. They are not allowed to harm the structural integrity of your home/apartment.

I'm looking for a cheap plan for two unlocked phones that I already have. I'd like a plan that has 5-10 gigs per line, works with T-Mobile or Verizon, and available in Ohio.

Once upon a time, there was a lovely website that would easily and clearly compare cell phone plans from any provider who had service in a given area. It has since been filled with ads, featured partners and compares only introductory rates.

Is there another site that compiles and compares real world information on data plans and stuff? Do I have to just poke around on multiple different websites and compile information myself?

 

It's no wonder I lost. He knew Karate and I only know Try Kwan D'oh!

 

Like, obviously around here you don't subscribe to a subreddit, were not on reddit.

What about referring to the Original Poster as OP?

What about etiquette like marking edited posts and comments with "Edit: added words or explanations of edits made"?

 

It's 5050

 

It'll be 4 seconds slow in the afternoon, which is to say it's gone back for seconds.

Suppose whoever is in charge of making wants to tell the exact same story with a new cast, possibly a new location. You're in charge of picking the songs for the movie.

You magically have access to the rights of any song ever, the only limitations is that the songs should fit at the same points of the same story as the first movie.

Do you use the same songs? Would you run with a different genre? Change decades? Swap in different Abba songs? Is it sacrilege to even wonder?

 

The term is quite over used in my opinion, it is very often used in hyperbole. Whether it is in terms of popularity and driving traffic to a website or a threat said to break the Internet, it doesn't seem to live up to the meaning of the term.
