Reddit made that change where if you blocked someone they couldn’t reply to you in a thread.

That was quickly weaponized so that you could ‘win’ an argument. Someone could write something and your reply would not appear, so it looked like you realized you were wrong.

The same but with Yanet García

You already don’t have a good vibe from him, and life goals sound incompatible. If he made one sexual innuendo and you didn’t respond to it, then he continued doing so he doesn’t respect your boundaries.

Hard pass

The lack of documentation is a huge problem, if you opened up an old tube amp to fix it there was often a full schematic taped to the cover. Solid state amps often had component values stenciled right on the board.

The level of technical knowledge needed to repair things has increased, while general technical knowledge has decreased. People aren’t reading Popular Mechanics from the 1950’s where “build a hovercraft from an old lawnmower” the building one.

Parts are also a huge problem. Where previously a car alternator, for example, was three discrete parts, alternator-rectifier–voltage regulator, that is now a single assembly. If one of those parts goes bad you need to replace the whole thing, unless you have used parts you can pull from. For some things the assembly is NLA, no longer available.

As for why it’s cheaper that comes down to manufacturers wanting to sell you a new one, not wanting to have to spend money on repair stock sitting somewhere, and possibly not having access to it themselves since very few manufacturers actually produce a complete product on their own.

For something simple like a Bluetooth speaker, the power supply comes from one company, the Bluetooth module and amplifier from another, the driver, a display board, the housing, someone designs it and puts that all together. If any one of those chains fails you may not be able to source the part to fix something.

There are usually workarounds to this but unless you are doing it yourself it will be cost prohibitive

Example: friend rented a house with a new stove, gas top, electric oven. Two months later the oven stopped working, motherboard was NFG (no fucking good), it was also NLA. So the landlord bought a new stove. The old one could have been made to work, but the complete functionally would not have been there. If my friend owned this I would have said ‘I can make it work, but you will be missing these features’.

Define “some” money. If your needs are actually basic, roof over your head, food, like that, then there are many places you can go.

Did you mean the Genoese navigator Cristoforo Colombo?

I think it is using Latin vs Greek suffixes

Probably related to why America is named after Amerigo Vespucci.

I see no reason why anyone could properly disapprove of a name derived from that of Amerigo, the discoverer, a man of sagacious genius. A suitable form would be Amerige, meaning Land of Amerigo, or America, since Europe and Asia have received women’s names.

Opposite. I love food shopping, and I know where everything is in my local markets.

Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket. The scene is pretty good, the film is weird because it’s basically two films. The first is their bootcamp, the second is their experience in Vietnam.

There is the 2A left, and the people who were active in places like weekendgunnit (broadly anti government, with a lot else mixed in) on Reddit that are both very anti Russia, or at least anti Russian imperialism. So pro gun doesn’t always equate to pro conservative.
