Hate your job? Well just quit then.

Don’t like your landlord? You should be homeless instead.

Not all call centres, actually as there are only 3 of us are we even a call centre? But my job involves providing phone support and there is almost never a hold queue.

What if I like being occasionally misgendered?

I could see something like /20 being useful not so much for the number of addresses but to group things by use case, then /8 because you don’t care and it doesn’t matter. Also 10.0 is quicker to type and cleaner to look at than 192.168

I use the low numbers for statics, less to remember/communicate if its a 1/2 digit number instead of 3.

My DHCP is 100-something I dont remember because I don’t care about or respect the devices using DHCP.

Don’t doubt it, only upgraded from it a few years ago

More niche interests, less politics. A niche community could move to Lemmy instead of hosting their own forum for example. Either hosting their own instance or using an existing one.

Still got a 16GB i7-4790k system in the loft. No PSU as moved that when upgrading. I expect motherboards are a bit difficult to get hold of for DDR3 systems now.

Not a massive fan of steak, not that I dislike it but it doesn’t seem special and as its so expensive I don’t buy it.

If I want to spend lots I would get a bunch of different types of cheese, biscuits and chutneys. But then I would also find it way too easy to eat in excess of 1000kcal as a snack so I don’t do that very often.

Maybe my standards are low, but I don’t really see the problem with fried beans and rice with veg like peas, sweetcorn, onions as a meal. Splash of something like soy sauce, hoisin, sweet chili jam or hot honey. Its delicious.

The rent is too damn high guy has a point. Lower housing costs and even if you change nothing else, cost of living becomes far easier to manage.

Well living on the south coast is more affordable than London, air is a bit cleaner too. Downside is lots of reform scum.

Council tax is something each household has to pay, houses are in different bands depending on their price in the 90s. Though the tax range is fairly narrow compared to the value range of houses. House could be 100x the cost of mine yet the tax would barely be 3x as much.

Those food prices sound interesting. In the UK its the reverse. Farmers markets cost a fortune but Aldi costs fuck all.

We are not being overly frugal with food and it still usually costs under £30/week for 2 of us. If we wanted to be frugal I would probably cut out the meat and cheese to replace with grains which would half our spending.

What does fixing the system look like though? Far too many people seem to just want to consume unsustainably and would do so even more if they could.

How much does someone need?

Yes, some at the bottom really should have more. But there are many in the middle who should consume less and will justify it by comparing to those at the top who are even worse.

UK, depends who you talk to. Russian bots would have you believe everything is falling apart. London is also really expensive.

I live on the south coast, even on minimum wage I have never struggled. As long as you can find stable employment you will have enough money to be comfortable. Honestly, I don’t even know what to spend my money on.

Approx monthly bills, 900 mortgage (fuck you Liz truss), 175 council tax, 80 electricity, 120 food, 22 internet. Water is on a 6 month cycle and costs some mid 2 figure number each time so that is barely anything.

So about 1300/month. That is for 2 of us, £650/month each, or £7800/year. Minimum wage is about £25k.

At markets I often see stalls selling what is obviously just printed or laser cut in bulk for things like chopping boards and coasters.

Happy little accidents make it look like it was made by someone rather than something.

The cheddar cheese caves are not literally made of cheese. They are where cheese was traditionally made.

If you don’t fill the bin with food, it takes longer to fill up. So you pay less.

Huh, I just use dirt.

I didn’t distribute or propagate them, someone must have been confused and took them. The left tub is pruning waste, the right one is the one with the free cuttings and bulbs sign.
