If passing is the goal, dress like a stereotypical religious conservative woman in her 40s.

Floor length skirt, sensible top.

Here’s the reason: Conservatives are used to seeing frumpy women who don’t look like super models. They will also see you as less “other”.

Also, try wearing your hair down.

I know this sounds conformist, but it helps you pass.

Honestly, sorting algos are serious nerd shit. They’re for suckers and losers. If it’s not worth doing, insertion sort every day of the week. Compute is cheap. If it’s actually important, then it’s TimSort (it’s never important).

As a workaround with the default directory fuckery, I always just made new ones.

I’m not confident my tax documents aren’t saved to my dektop.

I usually air gap onto an external disk, but I’ve been busy recently.

Sorry about you not seeing the lightning bug.

Insects are dying out a bit.

WeChat preinstalled?

But nah, the OnePlus 7 with a custom ROM was my jam. Shame the screen broke.

Wow! Rattling off stats like that is a great way to show you’re not shilling.

Tell me, how is the display color quality and camera resolution?

It gives Kerbal Space Program energy.

I mean it’s an incredibly difficult job to refine the chemicals enough to produce a usable product. There’s a finite number of instalations which can actually pull off the delicate chemistry. The materials to make it are fairly common enough; essentially just SiO2,Al2O3, Na2O, and K2O, but it’s much easier to obtain it from the hardware store. I’m definitely not suggesting you attempt to make your own clear glass.

Good catch, but that’s a common misconception. You can actually use woodworking tools on glass, such as drills and saws, but you need to go a lot slower and make sure to keep vibrations under controll.

Store brand foods are good a lot of times. They used to be garbage, but nowadays they’re pretty good.

Frozen veggies instead of fresh is usually okay if you’re steaming or roasting.

Automotive parts off Amazon have worked alright; Rebuilt my suspension for, like, $120. That’s tie rod, sway bar, shocks, and struts. No issues for the two years since that repair.

A ton of hobbies have perfectly respectable aliexpress alternatives. Keycaps, Fountain pens, 3d printer parts. They rob intellectual property, but I like linux ISOs, so I don’t exactly have a history of respecting that type of property.

Software in general can be cheaped out on; I don’t think I need to champion FOSS on here.

Refrigerators and washing machines can be cheaped out on, as long as you do a bit of research about their reliability.

Lots of stuff is easy to DIY if you have some work space. Furniture, fish tanks, thermonuclear warheads. Learning to sew is valuable, not because you should make your own clothes -fuck that- but because you can mend the stitching on your current clothes.

Services can usually be cheaped out on. Youtube videos and a can-do attitude can get you through manicures and toilet repairs. Court clerks will sometimes be willing to walk you through basic legal stuff like name changes. Things you should educate yourself about beyond a short youtube video: Electricity, flammability (from heat sources), and anything involving significant pressure (pistons, compressed air, and power washers, mostly.).Also be a little careful with chemical reactions: cement hardening, for example, will produce a bit of heat. Usually this isn’t a big deal and you can ignore it, but there have been idiots.The world’s information is at your disposal. Provided you’ve got some common sense, and you never fuck around with the capacitor in a microwave, you should be fine.

Holy fuck.

Change your socks.

Please.

Change your socks.

Fuck man, I didn’t think I would need to pull up scholarly sources about foot sweat.

here

When running, you sweat around 250 grams of sweat per square meter per hour. Variables change +/- 50g ish depending on what you are or are not wearing on the foot, what the ambient temperature is, and what you’re doing.

You can work out the maths of your own foot sweat.

Obviously, less physical activity will result in less sweat.

We need peer review meta analysis published in a with 50 years of study and published in a paywalled journal in order to verify that we should change our socks.

• some lemmy user

Also struggling. I solved others with psudocode but that’s not working here. Trying new strategies with little success.

I understand completely. A space like that needs to exist.

Thank you for the work you put in.

So everyone involved seems to agree that transphobia is bad, but the dude had an idiotic notion of what constituted transphobia.

I feel that if we are in the business of defederating anyone who fails a purity test then lemmy will be quite small indeed.

I reckon watermelons are cheaper than ramen noodle around here.

(I live in mellon land)

Ahh, I see.

When using a bidet, you must always be face-down ass-up with the sprayer above you.

I have it on good authority that the land of stale tea has fizzy lemonade rather than normal lemonade.

They also do not have Arnold Palmers.
