We had a $2k fridge that broke within a few years of owning it. We got it fairly discounted due to a dent in the side.

Our $150 fridge from Sears is still in the garage, and still runs perfectly after owning it for 13 years. Looks pretty much like the one in the pic.

Segregation pleases the beans. Ask Kansas.

I don’t understand - you’ve never read books?

A fart and glitter bomb

Welp, that attitude is why the written portion of English hasn’t updated in a long time and is why it’s so bad. Also, English is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, wild to call it useless lol.

Maybe we can develop our own Lemmy update to written English?

Interesting, I never thought of it from the perspective of AI before.

EDIT: I’m not saying it’s effective in fighting against AI, I just didn’t know about this being a/the reason for doing this and it’s interesting. Before, I just started seeing it pop up everywhere for seemingly no reason. At least there’s logic, albeit flawed, behind it’s origins.

I think there’s a lot of change in written English that needs updating. I think the thorn is lowest priority, if not completely unnecessary lol

I"m pretty sure that the voice of the instructor is AI, it bugs me so much lol. I’ve been trying to avoid AI as much as possible, so if I’m really struggling to find more info on what I’m looking for, I’ll resort to it maybe.

Does Python count? If so, it’s going okay.

I keep bouncing around on the sources for where I’m studying from. I started with w3schools, but didn’t like it. I went to https://programming-24.mooc.fi/ and I like it. I’m currently also watching these videos being used for prep on a certification, but they’re not great - the slides sometimes will have errors (print statement without closing parantheses for example) and sometimes the instructor will read one thing but the slide says something else (instructor says “max” but slide says “min” - luckily this time it was just the names of variables rather than actual functions or something). They also don’t go in depth on a lot of methods, and there’s no good exercises or anything. But at least it’ll get me a cert if I pass the tests, which is paid for by my work.

No longer a teen, but I remember liking the information laid out by https://www.bls.gov/ooh/

It broke down stats around career prospects, the education requirements to get into that career, the outlook of future job prospects in that career, etc. I didn’t really care too much about what job I worked, just that I had one, and then I could at least enjoy my life outside of it comfortably. I found a few that seemed interesting to me and worked to those. I think having it all laid out for them would be helpful for them to make their own informed decisions.

Same, I was incredibly impressed that installing Linux ended up getting them a masters degree in business admin, and then realized they meant Macbook Air. I was let down a little, but still happy to see life of technology extended further.

That is a dream for me. Thowe pads are the best from what I hear, but they’re so expensive! I haven’t tried itgmania, just mainly stepmania. Tried outfox a long time ago, though it might be different now and I should probably give that another shot.

Do you have any customization on your StepManiaX pads? You can do stuff with the patterns it shows when pressing a panel, yeah?

ITT: One half providing helpful insight into healthy physical activities, the other half total assholes ripping into this person for not being a jock.

Some people have been living sedantary life styles, the reasons for such can range from lack of interest to mental illness. Some people get a good dopamine hit from exercise. For others, exercise is a pretty miserable experience.

If someone is reaching out to seek advice on how to improve their lives, lend a helping hand. Please don’t be an asshole.

DDR, Stepmania X, and Pump It Up are awesome and I very highly recommend! If you don’t have easy access to an arcade near you, you can download Stepmania and play on the PC. If you don’t have a pad to hook up to the PC, you can turn on Autoplay and just pretend that there’s a pad under you. You can also just pretend there’s a pad under you while you watch a youtube video (or whatever other platform if they’re there).

Had anchovy and pepperoni pizza the other day, it was awesome. Found myself a new favorite pizza topping.

Dammit.
