We asked in our instance census about use of lemmy-like platforms (reddit, hacker news) and most people said they still used them in some respect. Only 7 our of 49 who answered this question said they never use them, over half use them equally or more than Fediverse alternatives.
Personally I use Facebook messenger, well I normally use Beeper because I don't have facebook on my phone but I still use the platform to connect with people. And video call on my laptop from time to time.
It's bacon. Processed meat is a WHO Group 1 carcinogen, it's "known to cause cancer", I'm not sure how much the charcoal changes things.
It's also considered red meat for the purposes of the Group 2A carcinogens, where red meat "probably" causes cancer.
Not sure what your concern is with charcoal but eating bacon on a regular basis is already living on the edge.
Looking up the average for New Zealand, I see everything from 250l per family to 275l per person quoted as average.
Much of New Zealand doesn't meter their water, so all they can do is measure the water put into the system and divide by the number of households/estimated people (minus commercial/industrial use that is metered).
In the area I live in, they are working on putting in meters because they suspect they lose a huge amount of water to leaks on private property that go unnoticed.
I wonder where this water usage figure for the US comes from. Is it measured on meters at their property?
And from what I hear people complain about in memes, I think parts of the US probably use a lot of water for watering lawns, something not that common here because it rains a fair amount.
Edit: lol I was trying to respond to @abcd@feddit.org but 🤷
Can this steam be used to turn turbines to make power? Or is it not hot enough to generate the required pressure?
Surely it could at least be fed into a power station that now only needs half the fuel to get it up to temperature?
Lol you can complain about the US price of $89.99, but the NZD price is $289.95, which is about $174USD!
Do you have the powerplay 1?
This local site has two 1 star reviews because the powerplay 2 got worse and requires you to plug in a dongle and the mouse pad so your mouse now uses two ports when a wired one uses just one 😆
Does such a thing exist, a wireless mouse with wireless charging mousepad? I'd expect it wouldn't work because the coils would need to be aligned to charge.
Whether true or not, I remember this being positioned as Apple not wanting people to just leave it plugged in all the time, they wanted people to be seen using a wireless mouse, so they forced you to use it wirelessly.
Ah of course they would. Thanks for the info!
Is it normal for that wide range of octane ratings and the highest to be 91?
I don't remember octane ratings in the 80s since maybe the 90s. Here we commonly have 91, 95, and 98 as the options.

I also don't understand why every chat app needs 1GB of RAM to itself.
This morning my kid asked the voice assistant to "Turn off the computers in this house".
I heard it, thought well that's a strange request but seems harmless because how is home assistant gonna turn off computers.
Me a little while later, "why is shit broken? What's happening!"
Turns out dumb me had adguard exposed to the voice assistant, it switched off all the adguard settings including the DNS rewriting that is the cornerstone of many of my self-hosted services.
I've since revoked that access.
The big difference here is that Rimu banning these users has a small impact on them. They can't participate on or interact with piefed.social, but that's only a small part of the whole ecosystem.
