I think it's generally a good idea to respond to folks as if they were a friend or family member. And, if you need to pull the ripcord and get out of a conversation that's terribly frustrating, it means a lot to say something to the effect of "Thanks for the chat, but let's agree to disagree before we devolve into pure name calling."

Or something. I think it benefits the whole community to have a record of people disengaging when the conversation isn't productive. Doesn't matter why. Doesn't matter if you think the other person is clearly, obviously being an asshole. Politely disengage and try to stop thinking about it (if thinking about it is unproductive and stressing you out.)

That makes a lot of sense. I'm in Milwaukee, so quit different from SF in the ways you described.

I might have this one too. Probably from that microwave accident I was involved in.

I wanted to reply with an image of USB C that appears Holy because it is your savior, but this was the closest thing I could find.

If you want to be a villain, the twist is that they feel it but can't do it.

If it were a lot cheaper I might be down. Saw a guy cruising along the beach near the water in Oregon and that looked really nice.

That's quite a platform you just espoused. Can I tell you why it's problematic?

Agreed.

You're probably right, but ultimately I think the vast amount of niche content around so many different hobbies is the most valuable thing, even if it comes with a bit of... human toxicity.

Sadly, I just can't imagine how you get the former while really effectively suppressing the latter.

I know it's better than nothing, but the reason I haven't bothered to get one is that the vacuum guy on Reddit made me a solid believer in German bagged vacuums like Sebo. Almost everything else is exhausting dust everywhere it goes.

It's also a good idea to pour a bit of something like green goblin down the drains once a month or so. I find it helps to prevent the otherwise inevitable buildup from soap scum and whatever fats n junk that make it down there.

Also, always wipe greasy kitchen stuff with a napkin or paper towel and toss it in the trash. Soap pans n things to make sure fatty water isn't going down. Cleaning out the kitchen pipes after year's of neglect sucks!
