Bean a while since I’ve seen a beans post on Lemmy. Welcome back, old friend.

Think you got that backwards. [Third] cousin means distance in relation, “[N] removed” refers to how many generations apart they are.

Beautiful. Thank you.

Is there a decent FOSS alternative to excel? Libre has been my goto for years because I never needed anything more, but just in the last week I have a new client with some more rigorous needs, and I REALLY dont want to bite the buellt on 365

Oddly enough, I’ve had better luck with temu than with aliexpress.

In general they have a lot of the same products, but AE has a much larger selection. However, the AE interface is pure garbage. If you apply a price sort, everything just dissapears. Trying to narrow a search means looking through pages of items, most of which aren’t related to what I seached for. Temu, at least, has a preety good search function, filters, and sorts. Plus temu doesnt have the annoying minimum for free shipping.

I’m not a shill for temu. They are a shitty company with low quality chinese crap. But if all I need is low quality chinese crap, it’s actually the most effective marketplace I’ve found to get it.

Stop calling me, “raccoon!”

This is fairly misleading - the change just allows for market forces to drive production more than regulafions. Its already heading toward EVs, this just means that artificial imposition of quotas dont need to make prices higher for consumers.

Im no fan of the Trump administration, but I actually agree with this move.

Psht. I mamaged to turn an entire paycheck into vodka plenty of times. It’s not THAT impressive.

How has some anon group not manahed to hack / leak them yet?

Turn it into a drinking game with your cooler family members…like, “Every time uncle dan says something racist, take a drink”

When the only difference in difficulty is either by adding more waves of enemies, or giving bosses a bajillion hitpoints.

If I already learned all the game mechanics, and the only scaling is having to repeat them a lot more, that’s poor design.

I dont mean this as much for adjustable difficulty, like easy vs hard mode, but rather in game progression…

But…but…who took THAT picture!?

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

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

You are FAR better off buying a used gaming rig than a mini PC…

Those boxes have heat issues, are not at all user-servicable, and really are only designed as a web browser box.

Great for media players / HTPCs, attrpcious for trying to game on.

Buy a 5 year old gaming system

Snackoons!

Hahahahah. “Upgrade.”
