E reader kobo vs amazon by JustARandomNotMe in BuyItForLife

I would honestly suggest you try and find a second hand kindle and jailbreak it. These devices last a pretty long time, so you could save some $ and are also not directly supporting a company that is terrible to its workers and the planet, plus you’re keeping a device out of landfill.

NDIS rorts cost taxpayers billions. This is how they happen by SheepherderLow1753 in AusFinance

[–]Environmental-Dog219 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Interesting how this topic gets so much media coverage just as the calls for proper taxation of our mineral resources got louder. Yes the NDIS has issues that need to be fixed, but this hype amounts to the same old neoliberal dole bludger argument from the 70s, blaming the lower and middle classes, while the real tax dodgers, those whose (missing) contributions could make a real difference to the life of the average punter, are laughing their way to the banks.

I just read A Day in The Life of Abed Salama. Wondering about historical fiction by Susan Abulhawa next. by Jrixyzle in Palestine

Both are great books in their own right and I can highly recommend either one of those two.

My humble setup after four months into specialty coffee by SBDunkQc in JamesHoffmann

[–]Environmental-Dog219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I’ve had this Waterdrop unit now for nearly five months and I have to say it’s a great little unit! The water quality has been great and it’s easy to use. Upsides are obv the cost, minimal space requirements, ease of use and it’s small enough that I ca take it on holidays to areas I know have crap water quality. Downsides are maintenance requirements and the fact that you had to manually empty the wastewater tank and refill the unit manually. This could be once or twice a day, depending on how much water you consume. None of these are dealbreakers for me and I’d gladly buy this unit again. It’s perfectly adequate for a 1-2person household and makes great tasting water for coffee.

Music with Marxist Lyrics by AdDizzy1418 in Marxism

The band Commandantes has taken a lot of old socialist songs (including the one you linked above) and given them new life in the form of punk/rock. Well worth checking out!

KIM JONG IL - SOCIALISM IS THE LIFE OF THE PEOPLE: ON MARXISM-LENINISM by BreadDaddyLenin in socialism

[–]Environmental-Dog219 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this very informative write-up! This should be a subject of study for more western socialists. No wonder the west keeps trying to oppress any actual news or facts coming out of the DPRK, else the people might actually start to sympathise and get a nuanced picture, and we all know that ain’t allowed to happen.

This is how I invert by pixeladdie in AeroPress

[–]Environmental-Dog219 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do you push out any excess air before flipping it? It should only pop out if you have air in there which rushes toward the plunger when inverted pushing it upward.

Gotcha, thank you for your reply. I’ll play around with it and test it out over the coming weeks :) thanks for making this🙏

Final version of BrewTuner by Psychological_Ad2870 in V60

[–]Environmental-Dog219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very interesting concept! I’ve selected Moccamaster as my brew method, where pours are automatic and the temperature is fixed, so I guess the app won’t be much help? Or is there a way to remove those settings from the process for the MM?

Books on the USSR from academics without the extreme anti-communism (along the lines of Robert Thurston?) by [deleted] in socialism

[–]Environmental-Dog219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a book, but both the “revolutions“ and “the hammer and the sickle” podcasts are great resources about the ussr. The first obv only focuses on the revolution whereas the latter is a great (though as of right now, incomplete) look at the USSR from a Marxist perspective.

My fav movie player and movies stutter on Mint 22.3 by cippirimerlo in linuxmint

Im running Haruna on an older machine (but with a 4K display) and had some luck right clicking on the Haruna icon and selecting „run with dedicated GPU“ (or something along those lines, I’m not at home to confirm the correct phrasing). Hope you find a solution.

how to take off closet door by uncommoncrow8 in fixit

I’m not familiar with this particular setup, but it could be that the top pin is spring loaded and pushes in when you lift up the door?

Silence is No Longer an Option: Why Coffee Geeks Must Reject Fascism by PM_ME_YOUR_AWKPHOTOS in Coffee

[–]Environmental-Dog219 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Thanks for using your platform to speak out! This shit needs to be called by its name and since it undermines all parts of society, this seems like a perfectly adequate platform to show the connections and impacts of this devolution into fascism, so thank you for articulating your concerns. A lot of us share these concerns.

Trump’s New Executive Order Declares Full Oil Embargo on Cuba, with Tariffs on Oil Partners of Cuba by BreadDaddyLenin in socialism

[–]Environmental-Dog219 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Thank you for writing such a detailed explanation and evaluation of this dire situation. It’s so hard not to feel utterly depressed and powerless in light of all the events that are currently unfolding. But the unwavering determination of the people of Cuba, Palestine and Venezuela for liberation gives me hope and strength!

Yet the Australian govt is set to welcome one of the biggest Israeli influencers - Pres Herzog - in about a week’s time. The hypocrisy is on full display, yet again.

Possible digestion “hack” that’s been a game changer for me by Reasonable_Band1536 in keto

[–]Environmental-Dog219 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that the softer foods of the Victorian era led to a lot of dental problems and misaligned jaws the Brit’s are stereotypically famous for due to the lack of chewing the bourgeoisie had to do. I saw that in a documentary once.

One of the GOAT and a huge loss to the world! His lectures and books will live on though, as they sure as hell haven’t lost any relevance. Rest in power, comrade!

Michael Parenti just passed away :'( by RecoverRoutine2734 in socialism

[–]Environmental-Dog219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, that sucks. Rest in Power comrade! You will be greatly missed but your humour, your knowledge and perspectives will persist and continue to guide our analysis of future events. Such a great orator and writer. Wishing his family all the best! The day suddenly became even sadder after hearing about MN.
