FWIW I tend to block power users on whatever site I’m on. It feels like going to a party and having three people come and stand between you and the party. I also block a ton of meme and nonsense groups, that’s not why I come to lemmy.

Work boots - Redback - until they split at the bridge and water gets in - ~4 years.

Runners - Asics Trail Running shoes - until the foam in the sole has worn down. 1500km (8km/day dog walking).

Crocks - Until they’re fucked. Had them two years now.

Birkenstocks - Until they’re fucked. Had them six years now. Self replacing the sole was a waste of time for me. I’ll but another pair sometime but I only wear them a few months of the year.

Another rule - If you’re actually firing a gun and never have, only load one bullet. I’ve seen plenty of videos where someone fires a second accidental shot because they weren’t ready for the recoil. More of an issue with bigger caliber guns but firearm negligence can be fatal so don’t fuck about.

I thought it was shopped because it was so big.

The big dumb cars that seem to be infecting the world.

I was required to read both of those books for school. I’d say they’re already required reading, or at least were.

The movie is great too. It’s on Amazon.

Oh my god I just finished that. I’m not a big reader and it was such a fucking drag from the second half of the book. Good action in the fist few chapters and I liked the old timey sci fi lingo but a total wankfest as you say.

RustyOwl seems to have gone quiet for the moment. HMU with mod stuff, I made a lemmy.world account. Mostly looking to lock AI/bait posts. The rules are good enough, I have an Australian level of “Be Civil” don’t get too stressed about calling someone a nob.

I had all that happen. The initial ban was from AI for inciting violence when discussing JiuJitsu technique.
