A PVC pipe cap.

I was making a lightsaber for my kid, and bought a length of clear PVC from Home Depot. (I know, they have bad politics, but Lowe's didn't carry clear PVC.) My local store didn't have any clear PVC or clear accessories in stock, so I had to place an order for shipping, so I got a couple things "just in case" for the build. One of those was a pipe cap.

Didn't end up using the pipe cap, because lightsabers don't have that sort of end. It now sits at my desk as a teeny tiny trash can. Bits of thread from sewing, nail clippings, tags I clip off of shirts, a lot of things fit in the teeny tiny trash can. When it's full, I empty it into the trash, but for a rather small pipe cap, it holds quite a bit of small trash.

Three anti-Ohio memes on the front page right now.

I feel like I missed something.

I'm also not sure I want to know.

I will be the only person to agree and not suggest an app!

Unless there's some fantastic game-changing functionality provided by the app, I'm fine with the webpage. I have a pi-hole at home that further enhances the "no ads" experience.

I didn't use an app on reddit, either - old.reddit only! I left reddit and joined lemmy because fuck spez!

Amazon recently removed a filter I used heavily - the "Sold by" filter. When searching for most things, I'd filter on "Sold by: Amazondotcom", and that would weed out all the junk by the keyboard-smash sellers. I'm really bummed that they removed that filter.

Our pandemic project was doing our own hardwood floors. It was our second time installing hardwood floors, and it was much easier in our 20s than in our 30s, believe me.

I used my Chevy Bolt to take 1,000sqft of carpet and old oak to the dump. It took several trips, yes, but that was partially reflective of how quickly we were willing and able to work.

I've been on Linux desktop (Mint) for over a decade now. My company uses O365 for email, as did the organization before them.

I use Thunderbird with several add-ons: Mailbox Alert, Owl for Exchange (paid), Provider for Exchange ActiveSync, and TbSync. I honestly couldn't tell you which one or ones I find most useful - it's been so long since I've installed them, I don't remember which addon provides which functionality. My most recent install was Owl, for calendaring and because things got a wee bit fucky with O365 servers for a week or two last year. I have Thunderbird set to collect addresses when I reply to users. You can have it query AD for contacts, I think, but it tends to be a wee bit slow.

On my Android phone, I use the default Google Calendar app, and the Gmail app to query O365.

I believe it's come from "based god", which referred to a god that appeared on earth.

Of course, it's been 10 years since I heard it used in that context, and assuming it hasn't evolved since then may be wrong...

If you ever break or have surgery on any part of your arm, you'll be very happy to have that cape in the winter. I have a couple from when I broke my wrist and used them again when I had shoulder surgery.

In my experience (large asterisk there), infinite scroll is great until you click a link, then hit back, and it doesn't resume where you were before so then you have to keep scrolling to get back to where you were before. Maybe the infinite scroll experience is better now than it was in the dark ages of new.reddit.

Pagination just never really bugged me? It gives me a stopping point.

That's fair. I'm definitely having to log in every couple days.

But I'm also not on Lemmy as often / continuously as I was on reddit. That's been a nice change for me.

If you have the money, the Pixel Stand is fantastic. My Pixel 3's charge port broke, and at the time the wireless chargers available weren't quite as fast as the Stand, IIRC. I found one on Amazon Warehouse for like $10 more than other wireless chargers.

You can set it up to do stuff, but my favorite feature is that it has my phone act as a photo frame while charging. I selected an album to choose photos from and it shows me pictures of my kid all day, 10/10.
