Can’t think of a word, but want to add ‘automagically’ to that list.

I can’t think of any.

But I’m a bit sad that the French-originating Bonmot is already taken in German (meaning a witty one-liner). It would have been a nice allusion to Bonbon (candy), like words that taste nice.

I assume people who think the landing is fake assume the launch was too.

Rhynoplaz , to showerthoughts in Texting has probably enabled more affairs recently

I know this is true FOR A FACT.

I sold phones in the early 2000s and had at least one customer with only ONE condition. Unlimited text, because his girlfriend was married.

Also, that’s how my ex-wife used to chat with my former best friend

Rhynoplaz ,

Sadly, they couldn’t be together because he had to go to prison. Free advice: before you sucker punch someone for having “a look”, make sure they aren’t a Federal Agent having a beer after work.

My ex wife prefered snap chat.

So you know, I just happened to get traumatized by another dudes dick in my wife’s phone after her nude photos I’ve never seen. I don’t know who he was other than her admitting it was a guy she cheated on me with 5 years ago.

No I’m not over it. Its been over a year, and because of the toxic nature of our relationship I don’t have confidence to go out there and meet other people. It’s fine, I’m fine. I’ve got video games and a shower to cry in.

But fuck smartphones. I hate this goddamn technology more than I hate my ex.

Plopp ,

That sucks. But it also happened before smartphones. Ask me how I know.

Elden Ring, Helldivers when I need to calm down from Elden Ring, and Factorio when I need to cool it from Helldivers.

I sprinkle in a little Diablo IV and No Man’s Sky too

dis_honestfamiliar , to mildlyinfuriating in I need new glasses. The only insurance-approved place I can shop online will cost $250 with my needs. I went to a "cheap" glasses website that doesn't accept insurance: $250. Yay, America.

My issue is getting the examination. Let me know how to get that without insurance.

Fuck_u_spez_ ,

I get mine at the vision center in Walmart every two years for around $110-150 without any insurance which gets me an eye exam, contact lens prescription, glasses prescription, and one trial pair of contacts. I believe they are all third party, optometrist-owned practices that just rent space in the buildings so YMMV.

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I wish I could. That was the one thing the insurance actually helped with.

fireweed , to mildlyinfuriating in I need new glasses. The only insurance-approved place I can shop online will cost $250 with my needs. I went to a "cheap" glasses website that doesn't accept insurance: $250. Yay, America.

I think Costco glasses are a good deal, even if you have to buy a one-year membership to get them. Don’t know if they’re available online, but don’t you want to try glasses on in person to make sure they fit and are comfortable?

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

No Costco around here unfortunately. I don’t want any glasses touching me unless they are the ultra lightweight ones. They weren’t available at the optometrist, which is who my insurance covered.

@gh0stcassette@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Just checked, it looks like you can buy Costco frames online, I got my glasses in the physical store and they were super cheap (like ~$60 for the lenses and ~$40 for the frames), it came out a bit over $100, I highly recommend.

Comedian Kyle Ayers has Trigeminal Neuralgia as well. He’s about to do the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with his show (Hard to say) all about how he’s been dealing with it. I know that doesn’t help you with your glasses, but maybe his comedy can help alleviate some of the pain and worry.

Good luck.

Would really recommend InnerTune. Tho it isn’t a spotify client as it gets the music from yt music.

Thorny_Insight , to explainlikeimfive in How can there be functioning bathrooms in high rises?

Plumber here. Unless we’re talking about sky scrapers the grid pressure is generally enough to lift the water to the top floors. As long as it’s lower than the city water tower there’s no issue. If it’s a flat terrain or the building is on a hill then yes, you might need a pump to boost the pressure. Sewage on the other hand is not an issue - gravity takes care of that.

lord_ryvan ,

As someone from the Netherlands, where cavities get checked twice a year and filled for a few euros a month, this is actually wild to read.

Do people here overpay insurance that much? Or is this just a business in some other countries? Or is it something else entirely?

nutbutter , to nostupidquestions in If you kill someone who happens to be an organ donor, which leads to someone receiving a lifesaving organ, are you really a killer?

There is an Indian TV series (Amazon Prime Original), named Breathe. A father starts killing people who have been listed as organ donors, one by one, until his son gets new lungs.

lord_ryvan ,

That’s a wild plot, I might give it a watch!

But it’s also pretty dark if you think about it… His son’s life is worth more than all the lives of those he kills for it.

Man, better to just harvest organs at that point!

Illecors , to selfhosted in [Request] Automatic backups when PC comes online

I’m not the best person to query about backups, but in your situation I would do the following, assuming both server and desktop run on BTRFS:

Have a script on the desktop that starts btrfs-receive and then notifies the server that it should start btrfs-send.

You can also do rsync if BTRFS is not a thing you use, but It would either be expensive storage wise, or you would only ever have 1 backup - latest.
