Take a second to actually read this one. It’s pretty short and sweet. It’s also from 2007, and talks about nouns (maybe compound nouns) that we really don’t think and probably never knew were hyphenated. It’s not about the use we typically see today.

As an aside, I’ve noticed people start hyphenating in weird ways, like “I’ve been at this job for 7-years”

Sounds like you’re looking for something that only exists in the used market, which may be your plan anyway.

The Mitsubishi imiev never took off, but it’s probably the least-frilly EV you can buy. But as Doug Demuro will tell you, it’s a bit quirky. Assuming you’re American, yes, is was released in the States but no, you probably wouldn’t have heard of it. I’m not sure I’d recommend it necessarily, but it’s an option

That said, I have a Chevy Bolt. Pretty easy to find on the used market (and with that, get service if you need it) no dumb features nobody asked for. It does have Android Auto/Apple Car Play, which is actually pretty awesome (I believe it’s the 2022+ models with wireless car play). Their base models are pretty barebones (some don’t even have DC fast charging, watch out for that) but higher trims do have some nice features to them. It’s kind of a car you’ve seen on the road but didn’t know you actually wanted.

By the way, backup cameras became mandated a while ago. I’m not sure the screen size requirements (I’ve seen some cars put it in the rear view mirror, which was kinda cool actually) but since most cars need a screen now to support that, and higher trim levels will use that screen for other things, and making multiple pieces of hardware for the same car is an annoyance for car makers, you’ll probably see a screen on most cars. Just FYI.

Bing (or I guess to keep up with the song, _ingo)

Yeah but you basically said the same thing to someone who does the opposite so I’m just going to assume your strategy is to not wipe at all, which is weird

That’s how I do it! While still sitting down of course. I used to do it the other way standing up but find this easier and works better

Split days off sounds pretty bad to be honest. Wednesday and Thursday doesn’t sound terrible and has its advantages, but as a M-F worker I would have a hard time meeting up with someone working a schedule like that.

I would suggest taking off Friday-Saturday or Sunday-Monday. Little bit of the best of both worlds, plus you can avoid some of what you mentioned earlier.

What state are you in? Some states have a free ID for voting purposes. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still shitty that you have to go through that but see if yours is one of them

Either all toilet seats need to be soft close, or none of them.

Have you looked into bone conduction headphones? I’ve had a set for about 3 years now and it’s still going strong. It has its pros and cons for sure, but I’m a huge fan. Mine is the Openrun Pro by Shokz. Maybe a hair beyond your budget, but should last really well for you

If it makes you feel any better, I thought the same until I read your comment

Some people know they want kids and look forward to being a parent their whole lives. Others are like you and know it’s not for them. Either feeling is so valid!

Medium is the singular, for those not aware

Similarly, data is also the plural for datum

This sounds like the work of a developer. If you want to take a plot of land and sell it for $2x/m², it’s entirely possible… But it may take $3x/m² worth of improvements if you’re not careful.

Frankly, if you have to ask these kinds of questions Lemmy is not the place to get the answers. You can get a college degree in this kind of thing, and it seems like you’d need to start at the very basic level.

That’s a basic economics thing that doesn’t have an easy answer. But basically, at lower prices, people generally demand a higher quantity of something. Raise the price, and people start to think twice and consider other options. Supply is the opposite: at a higher price, more of a product will be produced (or in the case of pre-owned land, landowners are more likely to cash out). At lower prices, people won’t bother.

So in the case of land, price is affected by what people want, but also what’s available. If there is a lot of open space and that’s what everyone wants, groovy! But if people want limited amounts of tree land, prices are going to skyrocket for that and people will look at open land as an alternative.

You’re putting your priority of beauty on others, who seem to prioritize function if they do hobby farming (in which case, trees could get in the way of whatever they’re trying to do with the land)

Neither preference is wrong. In theory prices should reflect supply and demand.

Ditto. I’d have so few friends, not to mention my wife and daughter (no males in the house other than me) so things would be pretty confusingly lonely, pretty quick!

At least OP was pretty clear that all people of the opposite sex were to have disappeared so I can still have my dog.

But like sex and gender are social constructs

Honest response here, no hate intended: I thought gender was a social construct but sex is biological?

Very similar time frame for me… I always thought that preps were more of an upper-class group. Maybe there’s a little overlap between those two groups though.

Soon to work on my kitchen backsplash as part of a total reno. Have the “layering” figured out for height and need to get an idea of where to start the pattern horizontally so it looks nice against edges and windows and stuff

Every other Nintendo console shakes things up pretty massively, the next one is mostly a horsepower upgrade with no major innovation

NES / SNES (home console gaming in general)

N64 / GameCube (viable 3D graphics)

Wii / Wii U (much different control. I have to admit I never really touched the Wii U but it follows the pattern of missing the major hype)

Switch / Switch 2 (mixing an honest console with honest portability)
