If you can’t find it used or local, use eBay!

About half the time I try that, the seller just buys it from walmart/amazon and has it drop shipped to me. So I’m not sure how much good that does.

“Pokable” was my first hope too, but it doesn’t look so.

Well, my original question stands. Is it really a better business decision to choose not to sell at all vs raising prices.

I run a US business where the cost of materials has always been volatile and the cost of the end product follows that. 40% swings aren’t uncommon and just get passed onto the end user; my profit stays relatively the same. So I can’t fathom just locking the doors when things get expensive (and people are still willing to pay it).

I could understand it if they were doing it as some form of protest, but then it doesn’t make sense to only stop selling the low priced options. That’s just hurting the people furthest removed from what you are protesting.

But like that article says, automakers have ~3 months of inventory already in the US. They aren’t pausing sales, they are just continuing selling what they have here while betting the tariffs get lowered before they run out.

How is pausing sales in one area, rather than just raising prices accordingly, the better business decision? No one is forcing them to sell at a specific price point.

If you are using the web client can you go to: settings -> blocks -> Block community, and block it from there?

I think you’re misreading my reply (or i worded it poorly). I agree with you 100% and do contribute to the instances I use and the content creators I watch.

I meant it as “So what if they ask for help? Do, or don’t (donate)”

The initial post came off to me as a dig at the admin for openly asking for money.

So? Do, or don’t. Either their service provides people with enough value to donate to keep it running, or it doesn’t and goes under.

Altruism doesn’t pay the bills; but it doesn’t hurt to ask. Can’t blame them for that.

I set the power to 50% and then double the cooking time. Takes longer but everything turns out better.

Mine comes from a cistern collected from roof water. If you wanna chug a nice tall glass, be my guest.

This has been the easiest option so far. thanks.

I didn’t realize you could local host some of the apps like that. Guess this is going to force me to start learning how to do that. I’ve been wanting to set up a RSS feed too.

Nice. I tried doing it myself in ublock origin but never got it working right. I’ll try to find that thread and/or work off your example.

Mostly just keyword filtering but it would be nice to have some of Voyagers other features. I wasn’t aware you could local host it with a web front end like that. Looking into that as well.

Thank you!

They’re correct. Ozone generators do help with bedbug infestations, I’ll try to find the paper I read. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32302460/ And another: https://ag.purdue.edu/department/entm/_docs/493_capstone/feston-capstone-summary.pdf

I used ozone generators as part of a bed bug treatment, along with CimeXa and Crossfire as I recommended in another reply. And it was effective. But I was lucky and found them before moving in, so I was able to seal the house up and go nuclear.

You don’t really want to run an ozone generator in an occupied house. Even if you seal a room up, it will leak out and probably not good to breathe. But it has the upside of killing just about anything living, so it will kill both bedbugs and their eggs given a high enough concentration and long enough time.

I bought one of these (not an affiliate link) and it was overkill.

CimeXa is diatomaceous earth turned up to 11. Not as cheap, and probably more hazardous to breathe; but works great.

That and Crossfire concentrate seem to be the best treatments I’ve found if you aren’t able to bring in industrial heaters or ozone generators. Luckily we found them before moving in. But 6 months later I’m still paranoid and examining every little bug I see.

Nope. Before the (widespread) internet, I ran my CB/Ham mic through a guitar pedal or echo box.

I’m still a radio nerd, but I have zero interest in talking to anyone. I just want to hear what’s out there.

Can Jellyfin handle symlinks? That’s all it would take to sell me at this point.

You don’t have to join an instance to participate in their community.

It sounds like a mobile app or knockoff GoPro style action cam might work better. That way you can point it out the side if needed and the audio quality is likely to be much better than a dash cam.

For budget dash cams, I’ve had good experience with the 70mai brand. Keep in mind that on most dash cams, if you get one without a screen, you will probably have to install their app to change settings.
