That’s just the WD-40, still, with a lighter between it and the stick.

As someone in his mid-40s, yep. I don’t think that’s all that new, though.

I just searched earlier and DDG had a link telling me to try its AI (I think it was on my mobile on firefox). At least it didn’t force it, I guess.

Former gas stove person here. I now use induction and love it. I have a cassette gas burner if I really needed it for some reason, but I’ve never broken it out.

Passive voice shenanigans. They expect to lay off. They’re the ones doing it.

My bowl of rice comes from one prefecture over. I’d buy more locally if I could, but I prefer brown rice to white and they locally polish basically everything.

I got into D&D in the late '80s. My super-christian grandma even tried to play. My dad’s church thought I was going straight to hell, though.

I work in Japan and get paid in yen so that seems unlikely. Indeed. I am basically at the median us salary with the exchange rate. I’ve bought two phones in the last 11 years (and won’t replace my pixel 6 until it dies). I also work two jobs.

Xennial here. I got rid of most social media years ago (FB, twitter, etc.) and never signed up for a lot of others. I’m replacing my google pixel watch with a pebble. I’m open to ditching my android google phone as well once something works properly with all the Japanese government and banking services. Thinking about how to degoogle.

It wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows back in the '80s and '90s, but I definitely feel like we should take back some of our balance, security, and comfort (though streaming and recording video can stay).
