You didn’t have this realization at like 5 years old?

Good, now reclassify net access as a utility.

A Baratza Virtuoso coffee grinder.

It’s solidly built, works great, all parts are replaceable and if you need parts or advice all you need to do is mail Baratza.

I’ve owned it for 15 years now and it still works just as well as the day I bought it.

Edit: I also bought an expensive 1zpresso hand mill (a K ultra?) from someone who had buyer’s remorse. Sometimes I don’t want to make tons of noise grinding coffee in the middle of the night and it’s nice to have a quiet way to grind for a cup. It’s built as solidly as the electric grinder so I’m pretty sure I’ll have it for life as well. Both were great BIFL purchases.

I have no clue why razors with proprietary blades are so popular nowadays.

Advertising.

I bought a safety razor 15y ago along with a decent supply of Feather blades. I thought those would last me for a few years but I’m still working my way through them.

Feather are awesome, I never could get the same shave with any of the others I tried.

Boost gang!

Seconding this request - it would be really helpful if I could select guest mode then pick the instance I want to see and get to browsing.

Browsing /local on new instances is a great way to find new communities to follow, things don’t always make it to /all on my home instance.

The supreme court ending any ballot recount and investigation into corruption in Florida during the 2000 presidential election. Gore won that one by a hair and Bush only took office because Florida threw out ballots to steal the election and the supreme court rubber stamped it. Any and all optimism I had for democracy in the US died that day and it’s weird to me that we just sort of shrugged and ignored it.

One for home assistant, one for very basic network services (dns, auth, dhcp) that I want up all the time even if I have to shut down the router+firewall. If I have to upgrade the firewall box I don’t want to be unable to print, or use smart home stuff.
