I was watching something on a Roku TV through HDMI, when an ad came up at the bottom of the screen for watching the same thing through some streaming service. What the actual fuck??? I’m already watching it!!

They did. Quite often. :(
But their sacrifices have led to much safer equipment and practices.
For most of those services, you’re looking at a few days to assemble and set up a server. For email, plan to spend the next month learning and troubleshooting.
You can run all of that on basically any computer. If you have an old desktop, that would work great.
Email often isn’t possible to self host because many ISPs block outbound connections on port 25. But, you can host it on some VPS providers, like DigitalOcean. The IP they give you will almost certainly have a terrible reputation and result in a lot of your mail going into people’s spam folders. So, you’ll have to spend some time contacting IP blacklist providers.
Another option is to host the inbound SMTP servers, and handle outbound through a relay server. I’m not gonna recommend any, because I’m not too familiar with them.
I know a fair bit about running email services, because I created and run https://port87.com/, a fairly new email service. I had to learn a lot about email to build it.
Would you use this as speaker wire?

I wouldn’t.
I’m just saying be careful. Power cables aren’t all equal. Anyone doing this should understand what kind of wire they need, and make sure they’re not using one that’s too thin.
Stuff like this:

Is unsafe, even though it’s for a (rechargeable) vacuum.
Be careful with that makeshift speaker cabling though. If you’re using small gauge power cables, you could easily melt those cables with a powerful enough audio signal.
There are dangerous spots to dive, and there are safe spots to dive. Diving can be incredibly safe as long as you know what you’re doing. And it’s incredibly fun. :)
People really misunderstand a lot about diving.

And last, but not least:
I don’t remember his name, but there was a guy who collected sex dolls. He had like over a hundred of them. I think his wife left him because of it. I wanna say I saw him on My Strange Addiction, but I don’t remember.
Edit: I looked it up and it’s not the guy from My Strange Addiction. He “married” a doll, but I think he just had the one. I don’t know where I saw about the other guy.
Ubuntu Studio is great, but absolutely not for beginners. Ubuntu Studio isn’t the same thing as Ubuntu, too. They change a lot from the base Ubuntu.
Not for beginners.
Yeah, I switched to Ubuntu in 2008, and it was great for years, but lately it’s just been so awful.
Three correct answers:
And a few incorrect answers:
Like Humans Do?
Yes, kitchen appliance usually means powered by gas or electricity, but if something is powered by gravity, it’s still an outside power source. So that’s what I would say the difference is.
A mortar and pestle is powered by your own movement. A filter pitcher is powered by gravity. So I would say that it’s an appliance because of that. A sieve and a slotted spoon are a harder delineation, since they both are partially powered by gravity. I would say that because they have no moving parts, they are not machines, and so may not be considered appliances, but that’s only my own thoughts, not a dictionary definition requirement. Topologically, a sieve and a filter pitcher are basically the same thing. So that’s a conundrum.

I would say it falls under definition 2b here:
I think the idea is that they don’t want to alienate white supremacists. Well, anyone who doesn’t want to alienate white supremacists has alienated me.
Jesus Christ, what an absolutely awful response. So Framework is basically saying, “we’re happy to fund Nazis as long as they like open source too.”
Well, I was a fan of Framework.
False. My water filter pitcher does not turn energy into heat.
(Ok, fine, it uses gravity to move the water through a filter, which technically converts some of the potential energy of the water into heat through friction, but that’s not something the pitcher does, that’s something the earth does that the pitcher uses to its advantage.)
Yes, so, basically what I said. Be careful and understand what you need.
If you’re thinking from the mind of someone who understands current, of course you wouldn’t use 26 awg wire for speakers. When you’re giving advice online though, you have to think from the mind of someone who doesn’t have your same knowledge. OP telling someone “just use a vacuum cleaner power cable” isn’t specific enough, because they don’t have the knowledge OP has to understand what that means.
I completely agree with OP that speaker wire is generally a rip off, and using any suitable wire is fine. I just want OP to also say that you need to know what you’re doing, or you could start a fire.
I’ll give you an anecdote to hopefully illustrate my point. A while ago I was hanging out in a friend’s backyard on a chilly night. She wanted to provide some warmth for the guests, so she brought out two space heaters and a power strip. She plugged them in and turned them on and they ran for about 30 seconds, and the circuit breaker tripped. She went over to it and flipped it back on, and then about 30 seconds later it tripped again.
I’m not saying this to disparage her, but to illustrate that many people don’t understand current, and don’t realize what is and isn’t dangerous when it comes to electricity. It wasn’t unreasonable for her to assume that would work, and it wasn’t unreasonable for her not to understand why it wasn’t. The breaker is there for exactly that reason. When you’re talking about making your own wire, it’s too easy to get it wrong if you don’t know what you’re doing, and that could cause a fire.
