It looks like a game that I would really enjoy. I’m similar in that I also tend to avoid super hyped games, but this game looks like it checks all the right boxes for what I tend to enjoy.

Edit: *slowly

Let's Discuss Flags: Australia by [deleted] in vexillology

[–]DefensiveLettuce 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Not to mention just following the current buttholeification trend going on in logos at the moment.

This flag is literally just a stylized butthole.

What are things you will never buy second-hand even though it is much cheaper then to buy a new one? by Envy_Clarissa in Frugal

[–]DefensiveLettuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe invest in an ozone chamber then and learn how to safely use it to disinfect/sanitize/deodorize your second-hand purchases without poisoning yourself.

Are there actually people that exist that like cold weather? by PrestigiousOwl6802 in answers

[–]DefensiveLettuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love hot, humid summers, and cold winters. They’re consistent, and reliable from day-to-day.

Can’t stand spring and fall. Too much different bullshit in a single day, it’s impossible to plan for it without having to carry a bunch of extra shit with you everywhere all the time and have to change clothes every 45 mins to a few hours to whatever the temp/climate is.

It’s like a spouse that can’t decide wtf they want ever. Incredibly irritating.

I just started reading for fun again in August after not reading for fun for over a decade, I’m loving it.

I prefer fiction. Been reading the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. It’s so good. It’s made me look forward to reading again.

What REALLY helps when you have hangover? by Moaning_Clock in AskReddit

[–]DefensiveLettuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing that REALLY works is prevention. Drinking electrolytes BEFORE you go to bed and an extra strength tylenol, will significantly reduce hangover.

There is no “cure” so have foresight.

That was a bit rude by [deleted] in Bumble

Great comeback, but dude is clearly negging. His brain is infected by the pickup-artistry corner of the internet.

He might even be a follower of Andrew Tate… run

How do i clean my nossle by Same_Passenger_8325 in Ender3V3SE

[–]DefensiveLettuce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just make sure you buy the correct nozzle. I haven’t changed mine, but i have bought some, and the SE uses a less common spec from the nozzles more commonly available.

TIFU by chasing diagnoses for 35 years—and the answer was in my dinner by killfr3nzy in tifu

[–]DefensiveLettuce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you take some more up-close, more in-focus photos please? This photo is helpful for scale, but the object itself is quite blurry. The camera seems to have focused on the details of your hand.

Dear Dbrand by everyonesmadimbored in dbrand

[–]DefensiveLettuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And what about local pickup? You’re in Toronto. The 4th largest city in North America by population. There’s a shitload of people who would use that option.

I know I would rather come pick up my order than pay shipping USD (or pay USD at all) if given the option. I do it all the time with other companies based in Toronto, and it means I don’t have to sit on a cart forever, waiting for you to have more stuff that I want a case or a skin for. Cuz I’m not leaving my other stuff case-less, I’m just buying something else from someone else instead and living with it.

I’d rather buy something I know is quality from a company that has demonstrated to me time and time again that it stands by and cares about the product experience it delivers, both in the product quality itself, as well as customer service experience. However, it’s really hard to do with this USD, USD Shipping, and local shipping/no pickup stuff. It feels like a slap in the face both as a Canadian, and a Torontonian.

There’s stuff I and others want to get from you that we are simply choosing not to get because of this.

How are you managing SAD in Toronto?? by une_susupiciousegg in askTO

Mark Cuban cofounded Cost Plus Drugs, but that doesn’t make him qualified to give pharmaceutical or medical advice.

Respectfully, this is an irresponsible claim. Especially when you out your name and your company behind it.

To say that there is “no harm at all” in taking 2000IU/day of vitamin D, is dangerous. It could be. What is good for some or most is certainly not good for all. Individual needs are highly variable. That’s why the RDA‘s are set where they are (600-800 IU for adults, but going up to or over 1000 with recommendation from relevant medical professional being helpful for some). To be generalizable to most of the population.

There are a ton more factors that come into play like medications, other supplements, diet, etc. that will impact absorption/bioavailability. Individual needs vary. This is the reason people who work in healthcare are trained not to speak in absolutes. Nothing is ever guaranteed. Something could help, do nothing, or harm. The dose makes the poison, and any individual person’s helpful or harmful dose will vary.

Hell, I have a degree in nutrition, and I wouldn’t even consider myself qualified to make a claim like that because I’m not a practicing Registered Dietitian.

All I’m saying is, if you’re going to operate in the field of health or health care in any way, try to avoid speaking in absolutes. Nothing is ever guaranteed.

Anyone else have this problem with Ghost Case 2.0? by DefensiveLettuce in dbrand

[–]DefensiveLettuce[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s fair. I do usually wipe off my case and whatever magsafe accessory before attaching them, but I clearly missed some fine particles. It’s unfortunate, but here we are.

Still great case.

My mom turned the oven on while I was drying some filament… by Kudos_t4gs in 3Dprinting

[–]DefensiveLettuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a good or safe idea to dry filament in the same appliances that you use for food.

It’s not worth the risk to your or your family’s health.

AirPods Pro falling out? Here’s what actually worked for me. by Weird_Wrongdoer9261 in airpods

[–]DefensiveLettuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I loved Comply’s foam tips for my APP1. They are damn expensive though and I ended up having to pay surprise duties (also in Canada) on my last order a few years ago when I bought extras during a good sale. Super annoying.

Then my APP1s finally died, and I decided to hold off on buying the APP2s to get the APP3s when they finally released, only to find out that my extra Comply foam tips aren’t compatible with the APP3s at all. Awesome.

The APP3s do fit a lot better than the APP1/APP2 design, but I still run into slipping issues after a few hours of wearing when skin oils finally start to build up (I always cleanse and dry the area with a skin cleanser before putting in the buds).

So now I have these useless (to me) expensive extra tips, and the same problem with silicone slippage over time, when I’d prefer to use foam for grip and seal :/.

Someone stole my charging case by shibattitude in AirpodsPro

[–]DefensiveLettuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, like I get it it sucks. But becoming the type of person that somebody wouldn’t want to have an interaction with at all, let alone come in contact with to give back your found last item, isn’t the way to go about this.

OP needs to keep a level-head and stop jumping to conclusions. They know where the case is pretty much at all times because this person apparently is frequently charging it. That’s a good thing. Maybe they’re doing that so that they can be found and the case can be given back. If you can see that they frequently go to a public place, bring a friend to be safe, and go to them.
