As someone from the Baltics, I don’t mind the Estonian overlords

Not even going international on a train can be more expensive.

It cost me almost the same price to take the ICE (not that one yanks) from one part of Germany to another, to visit my mom than it was for me to fly from Germany to Latvia on Ryanair

Neat, another former RL player.

I was able to advance academics twice through convincing convincing people that I was more than my bad grades.

First was me convincing another highschool to accept me and let me skip a year after I almost failed my first year in high school.

Second was applying for my current university, with decent grades, but needing scholarship.

Both times I spoke with people in charge of making those decisions through online interviews and managed to convince them to take chances on me

I used to start the day with about a 30min walk to work and end it with a 1h20min walk back from uni at the end of the day. Would end up with about 10km a day for about 2 months.

You kinda get used to it, but I still prefer to ride my motorcycle since it now takes like 25min in total.

I’m Latvian, the fact that Russia hasn’t stepped a foot over our border is all the insight I need

Case and point ^

I had a Sharp SH-03L for a while, it’s a business version of one of their flip phones that didn’t even have a camera.

The OS was actually android 8.0 but really stripped down to basically only do the whatever apps a flip phone has.

I was able to sideload apks through ADB, but ironically, I actually wanted the google stuff to work since a lot of the apps required it to log in and other things.

The thing was pretty cheap though, paid like $15 for it

I remember doing that…

last year (besides limewire, I needed some CDs to copy to minidiscs)

Yep, realized in the first sentence and had a laugh

Hey, the data is all gone

Same feelings here, I used to average around 1k hours per year in my “active” years.

All of the issues with CS2 kinda put the end to that, played the beta, then stopped for a year, and now I play few games every few days

At the same time, that’s one of the easiest ones to throw a funny response back

Unless they are in a car, take a walk along one of the less used roads and you will find empty food containers and piss bottles galore

In Latvian it’s just

Hedgehog = Ezis

Sea urchin = Jūras ezis (Literally sea hedgehog)

Same almost for the porcupine tho, it is called dzeloņcūka, which basically translates to barbed pig.

I work with frozen food boxes and on some of them you can just give few good smacks along the top and half of the tape will just unstick. Then just give a good pull to one of the halfs and you are in.

To break down the box, just flip it on the side and punch, usually that is enough to get one end of the tape unstuck and you can pull it off.

No tools needed at all

I have one of those, the 28S

Or just installed few months of missing updates, looking at you my broken Manjaro dual-boot

Same rule would quite honestly improve Lemmy quite a bit.

Not because of political reasons, but because it gets annoying opening any news post, expecting interesting discussion, and getting a bunch of versions of “eAt tHe rIcH” and guillotine comments instead.

That’s like reddit behavior

6 I guess:

• Pair of hiking boots that I wear 99% of the time for walking, warehouse work, and motorcycle riding

• Pair of walking shoes that I haven’t used much since the weather has been too cold

• Pair of warm indoor slippers since my apartment gets cold in the winter

• Pair of slides that I use for going to the mailbox or the nearby vending machine at most

• Pair of indoor gym shoes that I use for table tennis

• Pair of baseball cleats for baseball

I also do have a pair of old speedcats that could be worn, but don’t have much sole left. So 6 or 7 but realistically you are only going to see me in public in 1 or 2
