Heck no!

(Updated post for clarity)

Red teaming is probably less interesting cinematically now.

I’ll watch anything in this genre though so don’t let my skepticism slow anyone down from trying

Gone in 60 Seconds (2000)
The Italian Job (2003)
Sneakers (1992)

I have an ~1800sqft house in the US South East in a LCOL area.

• Garbage collection is $5/wk
• Water + Sewage is ~$150/mo
• Electricity is ~$150/mo
• Internet is $55/mo
• Propane is ~$150/yr
• Lawn Care is ~$800/yr
• Property Tax is ~$2400/yr
• Home Insurance is ~$1500/yr
• HOA is ~$1400/yr

We will probably spring for pest control next year which I expect to be about $100/mo

Unless I bungled the math, that works out to $11,970/yr

This obviously doesn’t include any maintenance, repairs, or improvements

EDIT: Just saw your second edit. Propane is still new to us; last winter we heated almost exclusively with the heat pump. This year we plan to try using the propane more and see how the cost differs. We pay $100/year to rent a tank and the propane truck comes by once a month and tops it off. Then we get a bill for however much they add.

Mastodon has influencers?

That’s interesting. Never heard of this before. Gonna see if I’m actually able to next time I need to sneeze. I almost feel like the deep inhale before a sneeze is involuntary but we’ll see…

Only if the headline or image is graphic

Salt & Vinegar Almonds

Tempted to say The Matrix but it’s late in the decade.

Maybe Scream?

Just upvote. Especially in a low traffic scenario, it will be obvious where the upvote came from.

Only reply if you have more information to add

I think you’re just going to have to call it “too much refried bean paste”

I add the ⚱️emoji to their name.

Makes them easy to search for and stop to have a moment of reflection on their effect on my life.

It would work really well as a plug in or tool, giving you inline information in the post itself.

This would be amazing; along with options to select from several “bias checkers” would be nearly perfect.

I second your frustrations, but overall I think it’s good enough for now.

If you don’t like it; block it.

Super simple solution

Absolutely. They spam their own subs which limits reporting options. The mods of the popular subscommunities they spam don’t seem interested in doing anything unless a comment or post is an egregious/explicit/blatant violation of the rules.

The smart thing to do would be to block them, but I am not a smart man; I feel obligated to downvote them.

The good news, I guess, is Lemmy is growing to a size where following the Local (or All) feed is becoming a challenge. The bad news is Lemmy is still much too small for niche communities to be viable.

That’s all I’m saying. Valve is the gatekeeper and left the gate wide open. They blew it and they’re looking for someone else to blame.

Ok - but they all originate from Valve, right? They couldn’t just put it behind a paywall or “NDA”wall?

Why wouldn’t they just put journalists they gave access to under embargo?

Didn’t ICQ recently shut the service down? Thought I saw a headline along those lines recently.

Probably my 2004 Gmail account, but that’s pushing the definition of “still use somewhat frequently”. I do still have my email forwarded to my current address, but most senders have been updated with my current address.

I lost control of my Hotmail, AIM, ICQ accounts years ago.
