I assume by “being an introvert” you mean you have social anxiety. If so, start out by looking for things you need online, followed by your location. Many local businesses will have some kind of online presence, or at least a Facebook page. Check what businesses those pages follow or interact with. At least that way you’ll gain some background.

Buying local is ideally going to be a more social experience. You will start having to seek out local markets and meeting the people who provide their goods and services. You’ll also find it easier once you visit local places For example, the local brewery here hosts markets. Local supermarkets buy food from (relatively large) local farms. Smaller local farms work directly with local restaurants. It’s all interconnected.

Have you looked at bangle.js?

I prefer this method anyway. The title got me to click because I’m interested, but the lack of context reduces the likelihood of me actually clicking on the video. Plus on Lemmy I want the discussion.

It seems like they’ve had more opportunities to practice their postmortem writing as of late.

What kind of equipment do you use to make something like this? Very cool!

Depending on the use case, that may be a benefit. I’m just trying to figure out what that use case would be.

I’m confused at what you’re wanting exactly, particularly the second part. Are you trying to turn a sentence into many languages at once, like “The red car is quick” to “The rojo 車 est schnell”? Just trying to understand the ‘not in a list’ and ‘pull down menu or (…) swap the first option’ part.

tldr; DDG specifically allows Microsoft, a company that profits from collecting specific user data, to collect some (anonymous) user data through its ad program.

I don’t think it’s proven that DDG creates user profiles like Google does, more that there is a concern that they receive their money from Microsoft, or that they have agreements with Microsoft to send them any data in the first place.

I haven’t seen it mentioned in here, but switchel is a favorite of mine. Water, Apple cider vinegar, some kind of sweetener (molasses is traditional), and ginger. Pretty easy to make a pitcher of during the summer. Tart, and hits the spot in the summer. You can also utilize a shrub for some NA mocktails.

Ancient Egypt, if memory serves correctly. Butchers used to have essentially platform shoes with heels to avoid putting their feet in pools of blood. It was on QI, so take it with a grain of salt.

Is using a Christmas light timer not an adequate solution to this problem?

Another idea is to Velcro one of those wall mount inbox paper holders to the side, so you could just slide the clipboard in and out without having to align Velcro or pulling the cart with the board.

I wouldn’t say it’s normal behavior in the US, but it certainly is more common than what you have probably seen in American tourists in SEA. As far as being “upfront”, there is that stereotype compared to some other cultures. In his case though he was just being a dick.

I think OP was saying that traveling opens your mind to new thoughts, not that people don’t travel because their thinking is limited.

What is wrong with the mp3 players you’re finding on Amazon? What do you mean by something better? What are you trying to get, and what are you trying to avoid?

To me, it’s similar to physical books. Yes I could read a book on my phone, and sometimes I do. But there are times and situations where I prefer the original, whether for functionality or just aesthetics.

GW-5610 I bought secondhand for ~$80 and added an aftermarket stainless steel bezel. Uses multiband6 and solar. It’s been a fantastic bulletproof watch for the past ~4 years of near daily wear (I like watches so I wear something else if I’m in a particular mood).

Methane is bad, but CO2 is more prevelant and lasts longer. Of all greenhouse gases, curbing CO2 should be the number one priority as its effects last much longer.

We just used to crush up smartees(US) in the wrapper, and pretend it was a joint. The puff of dust was always a nice touch.

Yeah, we’d mix it with kool-aid powder and call it diet coke. We were dumb.
