Kingdom Come Deliverance wasn’t even on my radar and now I’m obsessed. The NPCs are so fucking funny

This is freaky, and not in a good way. Look at their eyes…(or lack-thereof)

Thank you, I was so confused as to what the other comments were talking about. I have js turned off by default.

Wow, his hands really are small…

No problem, I appreciate the sentiment all the same!

My parents had this exact problem recently. They were able to buy a model of their 2010 over-the-range GE microwave from some guy who goes to Amazon warehouse auctions as a hobby. No idea how they found the guy, but they have a working one now, and it was cheaper than ripping out the kitchen exhaust system for sure.

I’ve been checking local thrift shops, they’re just very sparse regarding electronics where I live, and the good/working ones usually get snapped up easily. Not willing to make a FB account just for marketplace, so I’ve resigned to buying new. Thank you though!

This is so helpful, thank you!

edit: Of course Half As Interesting would have a video about microwave manufacturing lol. Time to pull them up on Nebula.

I’m in Canada!

I could probably get a $40 no-name microwave from Walmart or something, but I don’t know if it’ll last more than a couple of years and I don’t really want to create more e-waste (hence “a decent one” in my og comment). I’ve been looking at Panasonic ones because those seem to be the ones people recommend for longevity.

Additionally, it’s the combo air fryer/microwave that’s troublesome to find under $250 here. I don’t really have the counter or storage space currently to have multiple appliances, so my previous appliance was a huge convenience.

If any Canadians have any input or recommendations, I’d be happy to hear it!

Should…shouldn’t that make it cheaper?

We DON’T live in a supply side utopia?? 😱

I had a microwave-air fryer combo that broke last week. It’s been agony trying to replace it because I bought it for $150, and now they’re going for like…$300-$400. Even a solo microwave is like $180 for a decent one.

When did microwaves get so expensive?

It’s the measles, it got his brain.

Oglaf spotted!

Yay, I’m glad you like it there! It’s definitely more slow moving than the rest of Lemmy, but I like their weekly community chats and stuff. Also a killer gardening community.

“Free speech is I get to say whatever I want, and you have to sit there and listen to me!!”

That’s not free speech, that’s a hostage situation.

Ngl, I am learning so much lemmy server id pol from you right now, lol

It’s very interesting reading your experience (which I guess is the more common experience), and how even on this free and open platform there is still some sort of social grouping happening. I didn’t really even factor that into my choice of server when I signed up, but now that I think about it, servers like slrpnk and the old 196 server (I’m completely blanking on the instance name) are built around special groups, obviously so. I guess I just don’t think too deeply on the identities of the general instances because they claim to not have one (but they clearly do lol.)

Thanks for making the effort to explain all this, I appreciate it!

Communities shape how people think and act. Normalizing bootlicking for authoritarian regimes causes those who participate in those communities to feel and reproduce that normalization.

Sure, but only if they’re solely in those echo chambers, which if they’re posting in .world, they clearly aren’t. And any ones who do are told off because of the content of their posts, not their home servers.

I see quite a few inflammatory posters from .world and .ee (especially of the American exceptionalism, anti-Palestine, and more recently anti-Canadian (🤭) varieties) but I don’t automatically assume every single person on those servers hold those values. In fact, I think 9/10 comments I see you post specifically, PugJ, I agree with.

I had no idea about the Hexbear/lemmygrad lore though, I’ll definitely keep that in mind going forward.

Oh I see what you’re saying. I agree about the communities, but I was speaking more about the users from .ml getting blasted in communities outside .ml simply because they are from that instance (like in this thread).

If the users from there are participating in communities from outside that instance and following the rules, why does it matter if they’re from .ml? They’re not in the censored community, we’re not in the censored community, who cares what the .ml admin are doing?

No I know, but I’m not interacting with the admins of .ml, and I haven’t really seen anything from the average .ml user that isn’t your run of the mill leftist talking points I see all over Lemmy. They’re not censoring or banning me from posting Winnie the Pooh, you know? Your experience may be different.

I have no idea what grad and hexbear are, I’ve never seen those instances and I’m assuming my admin already defederated from them. They’re pretty reasonable in that regard.

Maybe I should learn Finnish in their honour…
