Poor guy

It's like that guy that posted an example Bitcoin miner on GitHub, then a bunch of script kiddies forgot to change his wallet info for their own before deploying... He made a good chunk of change by doing nothing malicious.

Reddit Refugees on Lemmy, how are you guys liking lemmy so far?

It's reminding me a lot of when I first joined Reddit (nearly 15 years ago). Not too much is happening day-to-day so I'm checking in every couple of days or so.

I think this is a much healthier relationship than checking a site compulsively every couple of hours. I'm liking it so far, also a crazy repercussion is that I'm using the internet like the early days again. I think of a topic and I do a deep dive on my own, researching into it and going down weird rabbit holes.

I feel like Reddit discouraged this behavior by having a non-stop flow of communities that "mostly" interested me enough to not go "browsing the web"

Because engine immobilisers are a thing, that's also why car keys are so expensive. The engine won't start without the correct key so no need to worry about the wheel.

As for reflectors, the people that use them might just opt for ceramic window tints.

The biggest issue in the US is wet-bulb temps in the southeast.

For people that aren't aware, wetbulb temps essentially measure how well you can cool yourself down by sweating. Humid air means sweating is less effective since it can't evaporate.

A wetbulb temp of 95°F (35°C) will kill someone in less than a workday if they're not given proper breaks.
