I’m based in the US but VPN into Switzerland for better online privacy (as well as a mix of other techniques).
The host of my instance was gracious enough to allow me to use it. I’m not physically in the EU, but that doesn’t mean I need to go around with a US-centric view on everything. Maybe realize there are other countries in the world, and that ours (the US) is by no means “tHe bEST.”
Maybe not a direct answer to your question but I’d try to keep it the lowest number of subjects at any given time with deeper learning in them.
In school I was genuinely interested in learning, but every instructor seemed to hand you a mountain of homework each day and acted like their subject was the most important. I spent most my time scrambling to get it all done and in the end only learned what little I could to simply pass.
I remember this especially with math, I loved math but if I took the time to study better and actually learn the concepts, I wouldn’t have had the time to finish my other homework.
I did see somewhere else that authorities asked citizens in this situation to report it, but I don’t remember where and doubt that it would be easy to do so (and/or prove).
In Los Angeles I’m paying like $50 for a barebones, mostly produce and raw ingredients shopping trip 1-2 times per week. I’m vegan so I’m not buying milk, eggs, meat, etc. but sometimes I’ll buy processed fake meat (but those prices are insane right now too).
Oops, I saw the image incorrectly and assumed it was a different type (if that makes sense).
Unfortunately I’ve also tried a product similar to this but it was annoying because I always had to put something heavy on top to have the inner cup push down enough to make actual cubes. Maybe this one is better than the silicone trays I use now, maybe not.
My original comment was more poking fun at the fact I’m doing this since I moved to Los Angeles (an area of the country known for its technology) as an adult. I grew up with things like dishwashers, ice makers, central heating and cooling, and traffic lights that can be changed by emergency vehicles in my typical crappy state. It irks me that I have to manually restock the ice bin each day.
I suppose had this instance (hosted at lemmy.world) didn’t want worldwide posts, they would’ve considered a different TLD.
If you’re running an instance why not just cut the shit and block Meta?
I don’t sell locally often but when I do, I use craigslist. It’s also great for picking up a cable modem on the cheap when moving into a new area (don’t have to deal with the ISP-supplied one).
Right? Then if you hate the place I’m sure it’s possible to move elsewhere. I can’t imagine you’re stuck there forever. I’m sure a lot of us have lived in a place or situation that wasn’t perfect but helped us to move on to something better.
Straight back to North Korea sounds no bueno.
One sounds much more fun than the other.
This has crept up on me as I get older. I worked in fast food a lot when I was younger and would just cobble something “healthy” together on breaks. For awhile I drank Huel all the time because I got burned out on food.
After going vegan I discovered a whole new world of flavor, and a bit before that realized I’m obsessed with spicy food (I grew up in the Midwest with very low exposure to spicy food). Now that I have basically all the material things I want, I really value having an incredible meal more. Unfortunately that’s resulted in poor choices and I’m getting fat.
Good point. I do that to an extent for the reasons you’ve listed. I thought of produce because lately I’ve been into salads and wraps.
I have no clue why others are downvoting you for this.
