  • It’s also your greatest ally. Never had a terrible hangover or comedown? Soul-crushing grief? Nothing like the passage of time to alleviate those.

  • Do you use or rely on dynamic currency conversion upon cash withdrawals abroad whilst traveling?

    Jump

  • Maybe if you have a bad bank, I’ve checked mine and it’s competitive. April 17 I did a Bandcamp transaction in GBP, charged my Chase card and got <1% difference in USD compared to the mid-market exchange rate on that date. It’s $90.21 on my statement, $89.92 when I calculate it, so +0.3% off the mid-market rate.

    If you’re getting anything worse than this, you’ve got a shady bank, and there’s no lack of competition.

  • It’s not hard to find a bank that only charges a 1% fee on the spot exchange rate. You shouldn’t be using a debit card (“cash in the account”) almost anywhere. Credit is so much better.

  • How often are you spending >$500 vs <$500 on a single transaction in a foreign currency?

  • Don’t use a bank that charges $5 for currency conversion. If it’s anything more than an additional 1% it’s a shit bank. Always charge things in the local currency and let your bank do the conversion for +1%. Need cash? Hit a real bank ATM (not a shady kiosk one) with a debit card that refunds ATM fees and withdraw local currency for +1%. Currency conversion any other way is a complete ripoff, aside from ordering money from the bank before you leave.

  • People with bad/no hearing, can you "hear" yourself chewing when you eat?

  • Someone needs to make a vibrator with aux in so you can really feel the music

  • How do I drink more water?

    Jump

  • Have a source within arms reach 24/7 and drink as much as you can everytime you think about it. That’s it. It’s one of the many annoying maintenance items of life, just get used to it like brushing your teeth. Eventually you’ll hate how you feel when you don’t do it, and this outweighs the annoyance.

  • What's a gadget or appliance that you purchased that you would wholeheartedly recommend to others?

    Jump

  • 240V vs 120V. For an equivalent amount of current, 240V supplies twice the amount of power to the heating element.

  • Robot vacuum. My floors are spotless except for some areas you’d never walk on and I only need to do some spot cleaning every month or two.

    Dishwashers are awesome too, watch Technology Connections’ video on YouTube if you think your dishwasher doesn’t do a good job. It’s likely just how you’re using it. Priming the hot water before running, using powder detergent instead of liquid or packs (booo), and using the pre-wash and rinse aid will have even the gnarliest dishes coming out spotless.

  • Been using Voyager since it was called Wefwef for both mobile and desktop Lemmy, love it.

  • If I didn’t get into so many niche genres of music through piracy in the 00s, I’d not have a vinyl collection worth the same as a lower end luxury car today.

  • Substance abuses

    Jump

  • 100% I agree with taking substance use seriously. It’s like using a firearm, you gotta treat that shit with respect.

  • Good thing “slippery slope” is literally a logical fallacy.

  • phonetic alphabet

    Jump

  • Many of these are two distinct syllables, so even if you get a broken transmission, it’s still intelligible.

  • Counterpoint: isle starts with the expected I sound so it’s 50/50 odds of getting I correct with aisle/isle. E being Eye and I being Ian (Ee-an) is actually more disruptive.
