    I 3d print regularly as a hobby so I've already accepted that I'm full of microplastics. At least I'll be a nice mix of PLA, PETG, and PP :)

    Woah, thanks for sharing that Xylitol gum! Sounds like a win-win if I buy that: less sugar and cleaner teeth! I appreciate you sharing the hubba bubba too. What a blast time the past.

    I recently finished my 8-pack of ICE BREAKERS DUO strawberry (hard sugar-free mint) which I really liked because they don't leave a sweet/sugary aftertaste in your mouth. I was wondering what I should buy next. What's your favorite brand of mint and why?

    Not sure if this counts as "tech" but I bought a WW2 era anvil-style vice from an old dude on Craigslist and gave it a new coat of red spray paint. I use it regularly for many of my projects.

    I've been trying several times for the last 2 years but the state of Wayland made my change back. But the recent thing was Windows Recall. It wasn't even about the privacy anymore. I realized Windows won't even invest in fixing their existing UI, settings experience, or be consistent with anything and chase dumb AI trends to make us into a better product.

    They are two great options. But I personally prefer bg3.wiki. But my point with this post was that there was plenty of posts from all these other search results (reddit, official forums, youtube videos) that were suggesting bg3.wiki

    The real answer should be to show both results at the top

    I've noticed tagging is something Tildes is fantastic with. At least moderators are fantastic at it. But for more casual users like me, tagging feels a bit harder than flairs on Reddit since there are so many options. What is the expectation from mods when it comes to tagging my posts?

    Had an interesting conversation with my colleagues this morning. We were pretty split whether phones listen to us for advertising or not.

    On one hand, we anecdotally see Google news and ad suggestions based on what we say. We know our mics are on at all times for voice assistant and music detection. But we also read online talking about how there is no evidence about the phones recording us. It's hard to trust anything nowadays.

    There used to be this webapp called Meebo that aggregated all of the chat apps into one. I used it to talk to my friends on AIM, Google Messenger, and IRQ. It even had an Adobe Air version of the program that is reminiscent of modern desktop chat like Telegram. It looked like it was getting big with mini game integrations and apps but one day, it shutdown.
