I've been using RIF and old.reddit.com for as long as they existed. Reddit since the big Digg transition. Hope to never see the same happen to Lemmy!!

I believe in Canada we have high standards for our potable water, unlike the UK for example our water heaters need to be up to par (UK typically has seperate taps AFAIK).

So no need to boil, also if you're trying to get rid of chlorine you can just use Brita filters, carbon filters that restaurants use do the same AFAIK. Also even cities like mine which (at least at some point before now) had way more houses than apartments still chlorinated the entire city's supply.

Filters are insanely good these days. I was thinking about getting a life straw, but there's a slightly more expensive alternative that can do like 500x more filtering before it needs to be replaced, and comes with a pouch you can fill and then pour into a regular water bottle. Life straws are meant to be drank from directly, and the alternatives that company offers are just water bottles with life straws built in - so you put unfiltered water in the bottle itself... Probably gets gross or requires constant cleaning

The Netscape loading logo was pretty cool, and of course it took a while to load every page!

A bit later than what I'd call the early internet, I'd say my favourite memory was winning a Super Soaker CPS 2500 when I was 13.

Wait so the US is lying to you because they're financially supporting Ukraine & with weapons, while they're being fucking invaded, because Poland (an independent nation) decides to send ground troops into Russia (maybe to slow down the invasion of Ukraine???)

Seems to me like you're operating under the assumption that the United States of America runs the entire world. They don't.

Which means it doesn't hurt to look at executive pay on top of historical profits, as those are counted as operating costs as well.

IIRC the ratio between highest and lowest earners within a company has skyrocketed from about 25:1 to over 3000:1 in the past 75 years or so...

By what scale? Medieval peasants only had to pay 10% in taxes and got sooooo much free time. Technology even today is still bad for us, but nature and free time? Come on, what's the point of having all these gadgets and what not if we don't have the time to use them, and they're all run by faceless corporations who make things as addictive and monetized as possible?

Productivity. That's what you want to compare to wages, and it has definitely increased faster than wages, so why aren't the workers being paid proportionately to their increased productivity?

It's a good thing Russians don't have religious claim to Ukranian land lest they get a free pass like Israel does

Yes, lemmy is pretty good quality, we of course need more people to browse new, I hardly ever on Reddit, but when I do it's shit compared to here 👍

[–] juusukun@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Guess we will just have to mod the shit out of this place until then
