Maybe when he's waffling on going into the door of the dead? I can't remember if he says Legolas or Aragorn though

What about modding a printer with a needle to play records? Could that be done?

I love that shiny look. But I also love how good a freshly seasoned pan looks too. Can't have your cake and eat it too I guess

Is there any way to prevent search information from being linked to me? Like some way so ad companies can't even gather than information That would be great

Lemmy is the only social media I have, but we are connected via Whatsapp. I'm thinking that since we were both connected to the wifi without a VPN, that's the probable source of information bleed.

 

Ok I have a question. I'm kinda a noob when it comes to privacy. I'll follow the guides and do the things to try to minimize ad companies selling my data etc.

Some basic stats: I have a Samsung running stock android. My GF has an iPhone. I use brave as my standard browser (I know that's not super popular but I haven't made the move to Firefox yet.) I have DNS level ad blocking on my router cause I hate ads with a passion. She uses safari.

So here's the deal. I was browsing the web looking for gift ideas for Christmas and came across some moccasins I liked. I mentioned to her that I liked them and browsed their website for a few minutes.

About 10 minutes after that, she's checking her Instagram and sees an ad for the exact brand of moccasin I just told her about. Just for kicks, she also checks her Facebook and sees the same ad there (makes sense cause it's the same company).

My question is basically how on earth did she get an ad for something I looked up? And how can we prevent that from happening? It's very very disconcerting to have ads pop up on others' phones right after looking that thing up.

You're a real one

0.6 is such a huge time saver on big prints. One of the best upgrades you can make imo

 

So a while back I came across an article/essay talking about how privacy is more than just a personal right and rather something about society as a whole. It went into detail about different arguments against privacy, such as when personal privacy is sacrificed for the good of the people. I remember a good chunk of it talked about reframing the concept as privacy as a right and the pitfalls of that definition.

I can't remember the name of the article or where I read it and I was hoping one of you might know what I'm talking about, or even have something similar to share

I don't have a recipe, but I primarily make mead. I'm curious if it would be better for ginger to be added in primary or secondary. Adding it in secondary might be better for that clean ginger flavor.

I'd just follow a simple plain mead recipe and rack it to secondary with some fresh ginger. Probably would remove the ginger after 3-4 days.

I've always heard it pronounced kway... Is that wrong?

I was in the same boat a few years ago. I ended up paying the premium and got a prusa mini. I don't regret it at all, the thing prints and prints and prints. The few times my prints failed were just because I was getting a little crazy with the settings.

A relative of mine was also looking to get a printer and I helped with the research. He ended up settling on an elegoo and so far has had a great experience with it.

Creality printers generally have the reputation of a tinkerer's printer, so if you don't want to spend a lot of time meticulously dialing in your print settings I would probably steer away from them.
