Mimic X industrial accident

context

Indeed. Beef prices tell me they’re not the loss leader product, and leather is cheap, so I don’t think that’s a problem now

Just because a person eats animals and uses animal products doesn’t mean they don’t respect them.

I prefer leather over its alternatives, as leather is a side product from the beef industry, so we use more of the animal. It’s worse now that cars come with vinyl seats (“vegan leather”) using petrochemicals and industrial products instead of the skin of an animal that was being killed anyway

I feel like you could ask him about how he lost a leg, hand, and eye. Something to talk about is nice after a few hours of driving

With fountain pens people believe that the nibs become personal with use. Also they think they need different skill.

I’m glad I use fountain pens. Nearly no one wants to borrow one, those who do are also pen nerds do won’t steal or misuse it

I once found a huntsman spider in my car. I pulled into a playing field carpark and encouraged the spider out. It was immediately eaten by an Australian magpie

I tried to save it, others would have crushed it. The maggie did.

I use keepass, it’s a little more work than many closed source ones, but it’s only as online as you want it to be, and runs on anything

My “smart” bulbs are at the less online end of the spectrum, they host local wifi or bluetooth for configuration via their app, but even that can bite you

I added a wifi range extender to address the problem of stuff at one end of the house regularly losing connection and needed to point one of a particular brand at the new wifi

Its app hadn’t been updated and I needed to dig out my old phone stuck on an old version of Android to set the bulb up again

You lost a bit of credibility when you misspelt atoms

I got depressed and pretty useless, she got sick of it and left

That word is empirically - by experiment or observation

If you want stability sdf.org (lemmy.sdf.org is their Lemmy service) has been around for decades

IRL 1984 was fine. America was still good; the Soviet Union didn’t nuke us all
