Comparing market cap to gdp is a bit like comparing the size of a cars tires to its top speed - they arent completely unrealted, but definitely not a good basis to use.

As a former bartander / bar manager, we skipped bad plays ALL the time.

I had looked into Kobo, but ultimately Boox won out. Zero proprietary ecosystem, so I can use Calibre to manage everything.

I need to do a bit more work, but totally worth it to be completely DRM free

In Ohio, at least, we won’t server to anyone under 21, even with their parents. The parents have to place the order, recieve the order, and pay for the order. The under can’t do any of those parts or it’s illegal.

Boox is the best. Stock software, NO DRM. Downside is they are more expensive upfront

For those who don’t know, fabric softener and dryer sheets work by leaving a waxy coating on your clothes. This does make them feel a little bit softer, but also makes them TERRIBLE at breathing / wicking away moisture.

Ever think your towels just suck? Try not using softener or dryer sheets, they’ll be good again.

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.

This was a Dilbert joke from likt 1999

It was unfair of my prev comment to judge without explaining.

So very shortly after the reddit API fiasco, when a LOT of people migrated to Lemmy…someone noticed the high percentage of “upvotes” on Lemmy comments. They made a post stating “People on Lemmy will upvote anything.” With a pic of Heinz baked beans. It became, at the time, the most upvoted post on all of Lemmy. Hence, Lemmy has always upvoted beans…

Oh man, you are kinda late to the party, but beans are a Lemmy thing ad infinitum

Well, he really knocked 'em down that day
