I smell a collaborator

Weighing the cost to the relationship to a fascist state must be the dumbest math possible.

You know what they say, if there's a will, there's a dynamite

Weak sauce.

I can understand cheering for this to be released as we can imagine that these fascists would suffer some sort of consequence or comeuppance.

But let's not kid ourselves, they control the media and they're immune to the sort of legal consequences that could come from any sort of exposé. He's already a fascist doing fascist things!

I just wished that we realized that if we want them to suffer the consequences of being fascists, we have to do it ourselves and not by staying behind a screen.

You can't really stand up to power by voting, unfortunately. All your choices are just different ways of giving these jackals power with more or fewer steps.

I hope there are local groups and organizations where you're at that you can join to start to organize a grassroots movement.

Is Gartner one of those sources that causes avalanches in the VC / tech world? Because it would be lovely to see this popping asap

[–] john_lemmy@slrpnk.net 4 points 3 days ago

Yeah! That and the fact that our society has erased several or most of our ways to communally build identity and shifted us to build identity based on consumption items

I don't get it either, I've always made tea with a small pot. It is just something to heat up water. It has a lid. The only time I started seeing a lot of kettles around was when pour over / V60 / Chemex became fashionable and every place started selling gooseneck kettles.

Damn right! It was about time that we finally get the message (again I might add) and deconstruct the fake boundaries that were put up to divide us.

My current digital kitchen scales (Brabantia) go through batteries faster than I would like. I use rechargeable batteries, but still.

I was looking for long-lasting mechanical kitchen scales or at least one of those kinetic energy scales (turn the knob to power it) to use in the kitchen. Any model that can measure in the ~1g to 5kg range with a tare function is more than enough.

Does anyone have any recommendations or experience with these types of scales (knob or mechanical)? E.g., does the knob thing break easily?
