Seconding this. And if you keep an eye out, you can pick them up cheap on Botach’s clearance section https://botach.com/clearance

I make a warm mug of Ovaltine®. But with coffee instead of milk. It’s… effective.

I think they are responding to the OP’s comment:

and would also potentially be somewhere between a misdemeanor and a felony depending on where you are in the US, as 3d printed firearms are generally without serial numbers and are thus ‘ghost guns’, which are often illegal if unregistered, if not outright banned, though this differs from state to state and city to city.

Which has nothing to do with NZ.

Edit: that last bit sounded catty; not my intention.

I would ask your lawyer before investing in the infrastructure.

Many of the US’ gun laws come down to “intent”. Almost like they were written from the start to be selectively enforced.

However, selling them without a serial number is illegal.

That’s not correct either . Federally it is legal to sell a self built firearm with no serial number as long as you did not originally build it with the intention of selling.

I just noticed a pattern of personality types that I didn’t mesh well with. So it’s best I don’t see their opinions, nor give them mine.

Like blocking all hexbear users. I’m sure I’m probably missing something worthwhile here and there, but overall my life is better without it.

I subscribe to ones I’m interested in. But sometimes I browse all to stumble across new interesting communities. I block the ones I see repeatedly and aren’t interested in. I block mass posters, I block bots, I block tankies, I block mods/admins of larger communities. It just makes my all browsing time more efficient.

I use it to curate my lemmy experiance. 99% of the users/communities I block aren’t for anything personal, they’re just clogging up my ALL feed with things I dont care about (for example, sports ball or foreign language comms).

I just donate them when I’m done. Often you can buy the physical CD cheaper from places like discogs than you can a digital version. So I don’t feel bad giving them away afterwards. Someone might even discover the bands I love.

But the version by Cradle of Filth

I sort by all and curate that down to what I want to see. So, lots.

Arthur knew what he signed up for; and I had come to accept what I could see coming at that point… But his horse’s death hit me fucking hard.

What happened there? I must have wandered off before the drama happened.

the Gen Z stare

That’s just an effective tactic. I’m way older than gen z and figured out a long time ago that unless a reply is absolutely necessary, just staying quiet and staring will get a transactional conversation to it’s point and over much quicker.

Also, the burden of initiating conversation should be on the active caller side, not on the passice receiver

As an active caller, unless there is a ton of background noise, I may or may not get any indication that the person I’m calling has actually picked up. So I’m just going to sit there until they say something or hang up.

Stumbleupon was kind of like that. Along with being an early type of link aggregator, any website would have its own comment section that was only visible to other stumbleupon users.

I used to enjoy it, and it looks like it may still be alive in some form. But I’m not brave enough to see how shitty it’s become. I’ll keep my rose tinted glasses on.

Meanwhile 99% of the people I want to talk to are contacts in my phone or businesses with caller id.

And that’s why I don’t feel too bad moving on to the next. If I’m calling someone, they had to have called me at least once already. If they’re too lazy to save the number and want to play silly games, I have better uses of my time. I was just curious of the thought process.

It’s when they detect a voice that the auto dialer connects you with the scammer.

I just hang up as soon as I hear that little “bloop” sound and that cuts out 90% of them.

You purposely pick up and sit in silence? Not even a “Yo”, “Sup”, or “Aye”?

I wondered why people have been doing that when I call them at work. Sucks to be them, they’ve been waiting 2 weeks to 2 months for an appointment. I just hang up and move on to the next. If they didn’t want to talk they should have let it go to voicemail.
