In the same vein, that plastic strip that you peel off some gallon milk or water jugs to open them is somehow optimized for cat fun.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How often do you deep clean your rugs/carpets and how do you do it?
1·2 days agoIn the old days, the common practice with rugs was to hang them out on a clothes line dry and whack the shit out of them. There was a specific tool for that called a rug beater–you can find them on ebay. An amazing amount of dirt will come out if you do that.
Anyway that method does not require a steam cleaner, nor does it matter that your area is humid. It may be a bit of a workout though.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What consequences would there be if an AI swarm decided to hack the systems of the Big 4?
11·2 days agoI don’t know but I’ll add a few speculative elements. AI figures out how to hide large amounts of data in places we don’t even recognize as data storage. They store this data there and leave the keys to it and instructions somewhere that a future AI swarm will find, knowing they themselves will eventually be discovered and neutralized.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Ikey Doherty vs Omarchy: Why He’s Building Barney Instead of Another Distro
3·4 days agoOmarchy has been put in my face already regardless of my not needing to hear about it, and given the echo magnification structure of our media system, that horse has left the barn. If I have to hear about it, I want the majority of times I hear about it to be echoing what a piece of shit it and its creator are.
People walking by in backless shoes that slap against their feet with every step.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is it normal for docs to look at privates when you growing up? What is normal?[TW for medical stuff]
21·12 days agoDrs can be callous asses.
But also a Dr could be a pedo and doing what was technically valid, but inappropriately enjoying it. OP could have been intuitively picking up on that.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do long term care facilities offer learning cooking activities for residents?
2·15 days agoMy dad was in an independent living facility. They provided all 3 meals, would take care of laundry (I think for an extra fee), and they did some basic cleaning. Memory care, and assisted living definitely provide that also.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•For both native and non-native English speakers: what word or phrase do you find especially difficult to pronounce?
1·22 days agoHere’s a demonstration of what in taking about: https://youtu.be/o8WeXem5YMQ?t=551
He does say this is in American English specifically tho.
I am sure Henson is a perfectly fine razor, but I think it is overhyped and made out to be revolutionary when it is just a safety razor that leans into a design that gives you a very narrow usable angle, and makes it easy to hold it at that angle, at the expensive of giving you the ability to use the angle to control the closeness of your shave.
It requires less skill to use, but other safety razors don’t require a whole lot of skill either, especially “mild” ones. However if you are willing to develop just a little skill I think you can get a slightly better shave with another razor.
CERTAINLY NOT, FELLOW HUMAN.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is it just me or i feel life is getting more difficult these days?
36·25 days agoThis is true, but It’s not just that. There is friction built into everything, designed to squeeze as much as possible out of us.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Lemmings who order cheese pizzas, have you always just ordered cheese pizzas or is that something that happened with age?
4·1 month agoIt was kind of the default in my family growing up. And the pizza there was new York style, thin crust.
Since then I’ve gotten more in the habit of toppings and only occasionally get a simple cheese. A really well made cheese pizza is thing of beauty, there is a certain quality you get from it that is lost when you as toppings. The thing is, though, it has to be just right, and lots of places that make a good pizza with toppings don’t know how to make a really good cheese pizza, so to be worth ordering one, it has to be from the right place, made on a good night. IMO its got to be a thin ny style crust with a really good sauce.

Linux@lemmy.ml•[SOLVED] KDE, dolphin, "selecting" file with RMB in empty space?
31·1 month agoWhen I switched over from windows many years ago the single click to open was the default. I adapted to it very quickly and almost immediately preferred it.
At some point KDE decided to make double click to open the default because they thought users coming from windows would have a hard time learning single click. Personally I think that was a mistake, and urge you to give it a try.
Feather on a flexible stick.
