$8/dozen in Chicago burbs. Costco is cheaper ($7/18), but they’re sold out at least where I am.

resin85@lemmy.cato Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Europeans of Lemmy, what places in Europe should foreigners avoid at all cost?English2·11 months agoJust got back from a 3 day trip to Brussels, we loved it. Plus, Smurfs (Les Schtroumpfs) everywhere. We did take a day trip to Bruges though, that was even better than Brussels IMHO. Especially since I could walk around saying to my wife “If I grew up on a farm, and was retarded, Bruges might impress me but I didn’t, so it doesn’t.”.

Oh yeah, and buy a bidet. Your bum will thank you.

Modern: A Christmas Story, and Elf.
resin85@lemmy.cato Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's your favourite podcast at the moment?English4·2 years agoI haven’t seen The Always Sunny podcast mentioned yet. If you like IASIP, this is a must listen.

I learned Norton Commander way back in the 90s, then moved to Midnight Commander, and it’s still a key part of my toolset. Using the keyboard in a hybrid shell / tree view mode is still the single most efficient way I’ve found to manage files. Need to find files under a subdirectory? Press F7. Need to move an entire directory somewhere else? cd to it, then press F6. Want to move all the pdf files under a subdirectory somewhere? Use the find dialog, then move the search results. No mouse/trackpad needed, everything is at your fingertips.
I guess it depends what one calls “the media”. Something like IEEE Spectrum is top notch for tech news. Reuters and AP generally are pretty good for normal news. Past that, maybe something like The Conversation?

There are some amazing journalists over on Mastodon.
By far the best for breaking news is Steve Herman of the VOA. https://journa.host/@w7voa

Any one who worked on an Oracle DB when they had the 30 character object name limit learned to make names like this. You’d figure out all your domain objects, and abbreviate them all (person could be PRS_, account could be ACCT_, etc). It was a horrible experience.

People who are unable to feel empathy for others outside of their “in-group”. Racism, oppression, genocide, all of it stems from that same basic disorder. Unfortunately this is an all too common trait in humans.
resin85@lemmy.cato Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•what 3rd party app did you use on Reddit before switching to lemmyEnglish1·2 years agoRelay, Sync, and Boost. Why 3? Why not? They were all great in different ways. Relay for the gestures, Sync for the UX, Boost for an occasional change in pace. I enjoyed using all of them. Now that Sync is here for Lemmy I’m using that as primary, though I’ll still keep Connect, Jerboa, Voyager, and Thunder around to change it up every so often. They’re all great.
