I am far more interactive on here. I was almost exclusively a lurker on Reddit.

There are places like that, even with YouTube, but you usually have to pay rather than use the ad-supported free product. (Assuming ad blockers don’t work well any longer)

Community name does NOT check out. 😑

There’s a lot of fantastic work going on with Lemmy apps, and I have several installed.

But I keep coming back to Memmy!

I think I have like 5 Lemmy apps installed, including the voyager web app, but I keep coming back to Memmy.

Plus, many of us are in STEM fields and appreciate/prefer the metric/SI system. However, we think in imperial units because that’s what we used in daily life in our formative years.

I have no problem with metric units, but I do a rough mental conversion to imperial to relate to the measurement, and get a “feel” for it. This goes for temperature, distance, speed, volume, weight/mass, pressure, and essentially anything else that’s an everyday unit.

It’s analogous to how much of the world thinks of nuclear explosions in terms of kilotons or megatons of TNT. I mean, all you have to do is multiply megatons by 4.184e+15 and you’re back to the sensible unit of Joules. :)

It looks like a White Star from Babylon 5 that somebody didn’t paint yet!

This is the way to do it. Getting your photos printed by somebody else will be tons cheaper AND give you better results.

Eh, I am all about wired networking wherever I can, but my awesome old Brother laser printer gets used like once per month or two, and it lives off in a far corner of the house where it isn’t taking up valuable space. Plus it could work with a tiny fraction of the LAN bandwidth available to it.

On wi-fi it stays, lol. I think I may have had to reconnect it once in the decade+ we’ve had it. Otherwise, the printout is ready before I can even walk to the printer (unless it has a ton of pages, naturally).

I don’t even know how old it is at this point. I just know it’s over a decade because I didn’t buy a third party toner cartridge until 2014.

As with lots of issues surrounding him and the US government, the system wasn’t designed to be packed with people acting in bad faith AND a huge chunk of the population ignoring it.
