My wife’s engagement ring was custom made! It is a key blade with the kingdom hearts logo on the front, with tiny tiny diamonds on the hearts and 3 small sapphires in the little crown on the heart. I tried to get moissanite, but because the diamonds are so small, they said they don’t make moissanite that small, and it would save fractions of a dollar.

It cost me less than half a semester’s tuition in college, so not super expensive like the “3 months salary” bullcrap.

In fact, I had to go through two jewelers for this because when I was pitching the concept to the first one, they saw the Disney logo on the key blade and refused to do it. I just clipped that out when I went to another shop.

I love telling my phone to turn off my lights in bed, or changing the color of my lights with a simple command. It’s super handy and I’m never going back.

It’s more of an example how a more popular candidate can lose because RCV still depends on first past the post and isn’t that much better. It’s not translated by points. Everyone gets #1 first. If anyone has 51%, they win and we’re done. If no one has 51%, then we eliminate the least popular candidate, transferring the votes. This continues until one is at 51%. RCV is a bandaid.

Check out this CGP Grey video about RCV: https://youtu.be/3Y3jE3B8HsE

You total all of the points. So say 100 people with the 51/49 doing A/B at 5, and all 100 do C at 4. A would have 255 points, B would have 245 points, and C would have 400. C wins by a landslide.

You can rank every candidate, so you can give multiple people 5’s. If you can’t decide between them. In RCV, if 51% vote #1 for candidate A, 49% vote #1 for candidate B, but 100% vote #2 for candidate C, the winner is still candidate A even though everyone voted for C. Everyone would’ve been a little satisfied. In STAR, if everyone put 4’s for C, they would win.

STAR voting is so much better than RCV. RCV is only marginally better than first past the post.

Most credit card companies provide free monthly checks to your credit so you don’t even need the yearly free checks. I just opened another line of credit and got a notification from discover 2 days later and email from them and capital one. It’s an included service that you should take advantage of.

Also finsexual. They’re pretty much synonymous.

I’m a nerdy hippie! I love video games and random facts, but I’ll talk for hours about psychedelics and go to music festivals and talk about how opening it is. I play percussion, but it feeds into the hippie vibe I try to convey. :)

I still need to put in the work to sub to all the alternatives. I had hundreds of subs and my front page was so curated. But now on Lemmy, I tried Hot for new/fresh content, but I have to browse Active most of the time due to the amount of just single up vote posts on Hot.

I just wish we had more people. I’m doing my part of being active though!

Huh? Use the remote app on your phone. It automatically pops up like a notification when there’s a text box on the screen. So easy. You can turn the box off by holding the power button for a few seconds. To close apps, you double tap the TV button and then it’s an iOS like interface that you scroll over and swipe up on the ones you want to close.

The UI is very minimal and the same across most all apps, so it’s easy to learn and use. It may be missing some power features, but most things are accessed via clicking of just holding.

Veritasium is in the same vein.

What helped me quit was a manicure. Spending $40+ on my nails helped me not want to bite them. By the time the gel chipped off, I broke the habit, so I didn’t go back. I still pick off hangnails and the uneven structure, but having a file next to my desk at all times helps with that. I also have a cheat nail where I mess it up if I need to.

This is all movie/show content. It’s still BS, but it’s licensed TV/movie content that’s the problem. The dumb laws we have really are the problem.

I use Apple Music, but my top artist was AJR. 14 of my top 15 songs were by them. Over half my listening time. Their just resonate with my life right now, and I can’t get enough.

My second my played was Snails House. I love the bops they put out!

You can find anything offensive, but it doesn’t mean that social norms have to accept it. Do you take offense to being called your race? What about doctors using medical terminology to describe something like your muscles? These are the same things: descriptive words that were created without your input that you have no say in. It’s language, and it’s weird to get offended by a word being used in a non-inflammatory way.

Exactly. I wonder what the top 0.5% emit, or the top 0.1% emit. 140k is just a married couple living in a city. But people that live in a city can take public transit or walk to the store, therefore they won’t be contributing that much to these huge emissions.
