  • Speak for yourself.

    Plenty of people use the physical power button - including me. It’s directly equivalent to the software shutdown button, but you don’t have to go to a specific menu for it. Just press and walk away.

    You can also change settings so it puts the computer to sleep or hibernate, instead of a full shutdown.

    Your experience =/= Everyones experience.




  • I had a small short hair Pomeranian-Chihuahua mix we called ‘Bear’ (he thought he was big and tough, but only stood 10" tall).

    One day he ate an entire pop can. Pulled it out of the recycling, shredded it with his teeth and ate most of the pieces. All he had left was the top when we found him and took it away; he couldn’t quite get through the rolled edge, so he couldn’t break it down enough to swallow.

    Somehow, he was perfectly fine. Didn’t go see a vet, wasn’t bleeding or showing signs of pain/illness. We did find a few shiny pieces in his poo while cleaning up the backyard…

    (and I guess clean)

    May be a difference between regions, but thrift doesn’t clean clothes around me. You’re expected to donate clean clothes; But if it’s visually in such rough shape that it needs to be washed first, it’s ‘rag out’, otherwise it goes on the sales floor. Laundry is a huge expense for a nonprofit; instead, they expect you to wash it yourself before wearing it.

    I’m not aware of any seprate clothes recycling facilities around me, and can’t find one with a quick search. Just the typical thrifts.

    30y/o.

    I have bought a grand total of 3 brand new pieces of clothing in my whole life(not including underwear/socks). Every single other piece was either given to me for xmas/birthday/random gifts or bought from thrift stores. Anything I can’t wear anymore has either been donated back to thrift or cut into rags myself.

    I’ve also directly worked in a thirft store, where anything unsellable get tossed into ‘rag out’ where it’s donated to a company that turns it into cheap bags of shop rags: so even stuff that’s falling apart is still worth donating.
