Developer here: can confirm. (#4 is actually true.)

I think this is the answer. It can take a hen several months to start laying; meat chickens are typically harvested in six to twelve weeks.

Switched years ago and never looked back.

That’s how RICO works: you don’t have to have committed the actual crime, but if your actions materially contributed to the commission of the crime, that’s considered pretty much the same thing.

Because there’s not a gravy seal out there with the balls to stand up to actual, trained soldiers.

Replace them with a resistor?

I LOVE Tampermonkey, and use it on several websites to cleanup content I don’t like.

Where exactly does the Bible say that abortion is wrong? Have you read the Old Testament? There are so many dead babies there you could use them for the foundations of the tower of Babel. There’s even a method described for inducing abortion.

The suicidal overtone is a huge turnoff for me.

Not a fan of lemmings, since everything we know about them in popular culture is incorrect - they don’t commit mass suicide - and is suicide really the image we want for ourselves? @Lemminary has the right idea.

Kubuntu 23.04. Eventually going to try Mint, see if it’s more stable on my machine, but there isn’t time just now.

Unlikely. Why do you say that? Wasn’t reddit once small?

I think a lot of the federated part right now is really confusing and obtuse to new users especially.

I have no idea what it means in context or in the broader scheme.

Don’t blame the tool for the behavior of its user. You should try Stackoverflow. That place is toxically moderated…no, moderated isn’t the right word. Gatekept. Ask one poorly worded question because you’re trying to work something out and not sure how to phrase the question? Fucking amateur, you’re banned! I moved to reddit to get away from the SO culture and I’m hopeful lemmy can fill that niche.

…and I too love challenging bigots. “Why” is a question they don’t like hearing.

All inkjet printers are an ink scam. If you don’t need color, or need it infrequently, get a b/w laser printer and be done with it. I bought a used HP Laserjet 2430 back with Ubuntu 18 and never looked back. I print a lot, and just a month ago broke into a toner cartridge I bought five years ago.
