Black and Decker makes a series of books that are pretty good, I've been enjoying them so far. Black & Decker The Complete Guide to Wiring

I've also found various books from thrift shops to supplement as well as various resources from the internet

Commonly called a "refillery" in the US if that helps people search for their local options

That statement presumes knowledge of GFI that I did not have - load side means nothing to a layperson

I'm leaning the science behind home electricity. I want to install an outlet in my bathroom for a bidet but I realized I didn't understand when and where I needed a GFI outlet. So I'm learning via a handful of books

Similarly, I want to add another outlet in the basement for my cats' automatic litter box.

I also just replaced my Nest doorbell with a "dumb" doorbell but the chime won't work. So I need to do some research on how the chimes work...

I haven't seen it mentioned but I enjoy channels like Solo Solo Travel - slow-TV style videos about public transportation. What food can you get on a first class flight from Tokyo to Australia? All the videos have zero commentary unless you turn on the subtitles.

I enjoy them a lot because they're very relaxing and make me feel very cozy.

My hot take? No, it's not

You'll never change a mind with cruelty. You are merely selfishly expressing your anger

Best case scenario, this person now feels bad about buying a Tesla, but is now stuck with the car. They will likely have to waste resources fixing it and it may happen again. Sure, you could assume they're rich and can afford to fix it but that wastes literal resources extracted from our planet to fix or replace the car. And if someone buys the used version they'll have the same problem and may not be quite as rich the next time someone vandalizes the car.

More likely scenario, you piss the owner off and they dig in deeper. That's just how humans work

I can find alternatives with enough effort, but I love me some heavy peated Scotch. The smokier the flavor the better

Well today is the day. I'm really hoping it's been all bluff and bluster but I'm thinking there's a slim chance of that

Replied in another comment, but I'll paste here as well:

She is straight in the book, for the most part. She has a male love interest and that's the only serious partner we hear about

The author uses the phrase "shared a bed" when talking about her trip to Oz with Glinda, but I'm honestly not convinced that isn't just literal bed sharing because they were traveling.

I've now finished the book and I can say I'm with you. It was dreadful. Slow, crass (in the wrong ways), and overly high and mighty, it was a slog just to get through it.

The number of times the author references a child's sexual development is insane. I don't need to know that the little boy got his first boner, Maguire, I really don't.

Urine is referenced at least once every five chapters. If it isn't, then we must reference feces. If neither are referenced then we're at the end of the book.

I thought the story was going to get good when Madame Morrible put them under the spell, but if anything it got worse after that. I thought it would get really fun and interesting and instead became a huge snoozefest.

What a letdown. I'm even more confused at how this became a musical than I was when I started

This is superb. My wife has been fediverse-curious ever since the election, and last night she created a Pixelfed account and was so disappointed her feed wasn't immediately filled with cool stuff. I tried to explain some of the points in this guide but I don't know if I did the most convincing job.

I'll send this her way and see what she thinks

I was curious, so here's the original post on Stack Overflow: Link (Archive Link)

There are classic ones like the Citadel (Mass Effect) or even Halo for the aesthetic beauty, but honestly I think I think it would be extremely serene to go to the cabin from Spirit City: Lofi Sessions. Each time I play that game I find an incredible desire to be in the cabin; my chest honestly tightens each time I think about being in such a relaxed, no-cares place with the perfect decor and perfect weather.

However, assuming this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I would probably pick somewhere unrivaled in beauty or technology (gotta pick up some useful things if I can...). I don't think my desire for peace and tranquility can outgun the practical part of my brain

I suspected it was a smaller channel, but didn't look myself. I haven't heard of them up until this point so this story could be a particularly big opportunity for them, so it makes sense why they are choosing the delivery method that they are

My guy take it down a notch, damn. I'm not calling for his head on a pike, I have legitimate and valid criticisms. I apologize if the tone came off more critical than I meant it but hot hell you came in spicy.

But, to address your issue:

Why does one wrong make a right? Why does him exposing the issue invalidate any criticisms or expectations of quality or integrity? To me it does not, hence why I criticize. And I even said I was glad the information is coming to light, and I'm grateful for him drawing attention to it, I just wish it could have been done a little more tactfully is all. I would like to have all the information right now, rather than waiting for a "part 2".

I also just don't appreciate the stoking of anger, which has clearly worked. Ragebait is toxic and that's what is being done with this story, from my perspective, so I don't love it.

Sorry, friend. That sounds very toxic. I hope they stop soon

I can only assume your friend is the one who downvoted you

Also, I say "irregardless" when I want to sound like the mobster from It's Always Sunny in Philidelphia

Fights in Tight Places looks pretty fun. I'm a big deckbuilder fan, so always enjoy a new one. but that does make me wonder how Tainted Grail: Conquest runs because I really found that one to be a lot of fun. And also reminds me that before I buy a new deckbuilder I should probably play that Balatro game everyone talks about...

I'm glad this information is coming to light because I think that it should be fixed, at least as far as the affiliate link piece goes, but I find myself irritated by the sensationalism of the poster.

They're really pushing to make this seem as evil as possible, and milking it for every drop it's worth. Making this a two-part series and not exposing it immediately feels super shitty to me.

Just post the full information you have, if this is really so bad, stop trying to farm clips.

Also, not enough focus on the timeline. Honey's business model has changed dramatically since it was released long ago, and I feel like the part two video is going to complain about the original Honey business model, which was literally just a coupon code aggregator, just based on the "cliffhanger" at the end
