I cancelled my Kagi subscription for the same reasons.

Plus the concerns with privacy

I've had a Proton Visionary Plan for years (and whatever it was called before that). I'm planning to drop down to either the Unlimited, Plus, or Free tier when I'm up for renewal.

Most likely just switch to Mullvad, email to Tuta, and find some other service for encrypted cloud storage. I'm already on other services for their other products.

Just put a car battery in the wagon, all set.

I had peppers look like that from over watering last year.

My ex kept her's in an unprotected excel file. I never peeked, I was just surprised when I saw her accessing it on her laptop.

I hope thorium reactors become a reality soon, they'll probably fix or lower most of your concerns with current uranium reactors.

Go into your settings, you can block whatever user, community, or instance you feel like blocking. You should have the option so you don't need to block individual users.

Defederating the entire instance seems excessive for this use case.

If they're wearing headphones outdoors/in public instead of earbuds or noise isolating in-ear monitors, they deserve all the sweat lol.

Otherwise for those of you at home:

What Are Open-Back Headphones?

The 6 Best Open-Back Headphones of 2025

No more sweaty ears once I switched from noise-cancelling Sony and Bose bluetooth headphones, to a cheap bluetooth neckband type earphones. I swapped out the earbuds for some silicon noise-isolating ones that fit snugly in the ear canal.

Got a fancy open-backed headphone for gaming/music on the PC.

America's Test Kitchen has a bunch of reviews

Edit: as others have said, look at restaurant supply stores in your area. Besides stainless, I'd also recommend carbon steel or cast iron since you're looking for durability and food safety.

Good luck finding a parking space.

Average US parking space according to wikipedia is 8.5 to 9 ft wide. The Escalade IQL is 85 inches (7.1ft) wide with mirrors folded. That gives you 1.5 to 2 feet of space total (not on each side), so you'd probably have to trap your passengers just for the driver's side to get out in many situations like strip malls, movie theaters, hotels, parking garages that were designed for normal sized vehicles. (For comparison a Toyota Corolla is 5.8ft wide would have about 3 feet of space). Expect a lot of dinged doors and door dinging.

First thing in the morning and now you've missed your own meeting.

 

This is a newer product on the market, its a great idea, where the USB-C plug can swivel. I assume their goal was to make it easier to charge your device while also using it, and to make the cable last longer. The swivel part is great when it works but it's super fragile and broke for me in two weeks.

 

Figured this would resonate with people here and have some overlap with this community.

"The idea behind this is that we want to log every single instance of a company taking part in one of these anti-ownership practices where they deceive you, where they take away your ability to have privacy, where they take away your ability to repair what you own, where they take away your ability to say you own what you own."

Climate change is commonly treated as a single, global problem that needs to be "solved." This mindset may have been appropriate in the past, but at 1.5°C above the preindustrial average, it's clear that we are not going to solve climate change. Everyone is going to live in a changed and changing climate for centuries to come. In this powerful keynote session, Spencer Glendon, founder of Probable Futures, will show how essential it is to make adaptation a priority and how doing so can lead to stronger institutions, healthier communities, better food, and even more effective decarbonization. Whether you are interested in housing, transportation, water, insurance, community organizing, fruit, or any other aspect of society, this session will give you frameworks, tools, and examples to help you see the world around you more clearly and make better decisions.
