do you say either or either? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Best answer to the question here. Neither either of either is right (or wrong).

Is there any hope of finding a relationship if certain body parts don't work anymore? You know the ones. in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

If you're in your 20's experiencing this you should, frankly, check in to an ER. Old guys like me have some similar issues but not as bad as you are describing. Get some help, son.

Agree. I have updated my Ubiquity router twice in the last month. I've updated HA ... a STUPID number of times in that span. Whoever wrote that is a dunce.

Wifi networks and home automation systems are expected to last 50+ years.

I was reading up on the life expectancy of different building materials when I came across this gem.

Screenshot is of page 122 https://www.portseattle.org/sites/default/files/2025-02/SEA-SIPP%20Technical%20Report%20Appendix%20C%20Life%20Expectancy%20of%20Building%20Materials.pdf

I guess the ethernet cables could last that long, but they rate house wiring to a lower lifetime. Ethernet cables are not "wireless", however.

The only other wireless systems I can think of are garage door openers, but they are definitely not expected to last 50 years.

Thanks for the heads up. Must have taken a minute to federate the change, I can see it now. Appreciate your civil response versus..., you know.

How do I make Lemmy feel less dead? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

I've found that if you want engagement then most communities are fairly quiet. This is not /r so there are fewer around. If you want to engage then find a post that resonates with you and engage with it. Lemmings are conversational but you need to poke them to get something back.

Stupid paywall that 12ft.io couldn't break but, honestly, I'm grateful because the article probably had direct quotes from MTG which would have obviously been upsetting so I'm glad I missed it. Thanks, OP, for making the content unavailable!

I just made mushroom soup, it feels nice and homey. What are your favorite soups? in c/casualconversation@lemm.ee

[–] rouxdoo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Carrot Orange soup - hear me out, this is awesome. Coarse chop onions and sauté in a soup pot. Add a bunch of chopped carrots and cook with some veg stock. When tender use stick blender to make smooth and add orange juice, salt and pepper to taste. My wife makes this whenever someone is sick or has a surgery and feels weak. It is a magic soup!

How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

[–] rouxdoo@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

My bingo card/wish list - Trump gets tied up in litigation/impeachment (first pres to be impeached 3 or 4 times...bring it!) until he is out of office (I suspect his Outlook is already set that way). Then, after, nobody says his name ever again because...let's face it, everyone is just plain embarrassed that it happened - (R)'s (D)'s, even whack-a-doo (Others ... independent, green, what are those guys that think that everything is transactional...forget).

That is so freakin' cool! The size of that plant is on display in its stumpy remains...just revel in thoughts of its original girth and height!

Ugh...imagining it's majesty by extrapolation makes me sad at what I see that is no longer there. That makes me sad.

Recommendation for a privacy respecting Wifi mesh system? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

I ditched Netgear due to poor performance and went with Ubiquiti. I'm fortunate that I could afford to buy a console for management but if you're willing to self-host then there is no cost there. You could then get several APs (they have some as low as $99) and you're all set.
