They do a pretty clear discount for the first domain and year you register, but they're also very honest about the ongoing charges.

They also give you one free mailbox per contract, which is a nice touch imho.

Rawl brand have these notes on the plastic, which I think is neat.

Brown plug, 7mm hole, 5-6mm screw.

Even a little gauge to go with it.

I find getting stuff from local (or at least, national) businesses leads to far less utter shit.

Amazon might have it for a fiver...But you'll spend an hour working out if it's actually decent, and half the time it shows up as dogshit quality, with no compliance with local safety requirements.

Meanwhile, Argos might be a little more, but if you get something that's actually built to be sold in the UK. An actual product that does what it's supposed to, rather than a seller gambling you can't be arsed to return it.

Lakeland is another example. I could buy some random bit of kitchenware from dropshipper_28, and hope it works, and doesn't poison me...Or, I could go into Lakeland, and be reasonably confident that the one they stock is well regarded, and works.

TK Maxx is an example of the complete opposite: So much utter utter crap there mixed in with the half decent stuff.
Not worth my life sifting through it!

Kinda crazy, because W7 didn't support first gen Ryzen either!

Deathworlders universe

Downright feudal at the end, though! Just gotta hope you're a rich/lucky landowner.

Good if you want to buy 4MB of stolen ram, however.

Personal spaceships commonly available?

Lots of unusual, but generally friendly aliens?

The Space Dandyverse wouldn't be too horrid.

Hosting NSFW content is an absolute ball-ache, so a lot of instances that are not NSFW focussed do not host it.
In the early days of feddit.uk, we decided to go the path of SFW, to simplify things.
I absolutely salute the lemmy-nsfw admins in taking that load on.
And it makes a lot of sense: If you're going to deal with the headaches, you might as well focus entirely on them!
