clif@lemmy.worldto Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Today, the Mexican Government introduced its new chocolate bar, priced at less than $1USD. Made of 50% cocoa, powdered milk, vanilla. No refined sugar, no artificial flavourings.5·24 days agoI did notice that the Mexican coke that I occasionally buy as a treat (in the US) got new labels printed on the bottle instead of just a sticker.
For some reason it doesn’t taste as good as it used to though. Feels like even more sugar than previously maybe? I should look it up.
clif@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Having the ability to lie and manipulate with no remorse will get you much further in this world than having morals and being correct7·1 month agoThank you, I have a new goal in life.
Garmin is where I landed too.
I couldn’t do the instinct 2 solar because of the 50mm size (I have dainty little wrists) but the instinct 3 solar is available in 45mm.
I’m over a month in and at 70% battery with minimal direct solar, but it does give it a 1-3% bump when I’m working outside.
At this point, I have to see how long it can go without charging.
(Again, I don’t use any of the “smart” stuff, just the heart rate monitor for sleep tracking - is that a new thing to require HRM for sleep tracking? Long ago, they did it with the accelerometer)
clif@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•The driver for my mouse occupies over 1 gbEnglish1·1 month agoA web interface? Is the keyboard running a webserver or is it remotely managed by the manufacturers website?
I’m confused about configuring keyboards via web app.
I remember looking for a new watch awhile back and seeing a review that said “The battery life is outstanding! I get almost two whole days without a charge!” and thinking “naw dude”.
But, I also don’t like “smart” watches… or “smart” anything. I want a damn watch that can occasionally do GPS tracking when I want it to and the battery should last, at minimum, one month.
I already carried a flashlight in my pocket and now I have one on my watch. Phones are obsolete.
clif@lemmy.worldto Games@sh.itjust.works•Video games spending by young Americans is dropping sharply, report suggestsEnglish9·1 month agoJust (re) started Dead Space after not playing it for 10-15 years. Still good, still enjoy, why buy when I can just replay games I’ve forgotten the story to?
Same for Control a few months ago… And I’m sure others.
Came here to post this… even though I haven’t seen it yet (it’s on the list!)
Hey! You can’t say that on the internet! You have to say
fuck
clif@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are your advices to cool homes without AC ?5·1 month agoThis may explain why I’m wearing a hoodie in the office in late June while most everybody else is comfortable or still hot.
But, I also do lots of outdoors stuff and acclimate to heat up to a point.
The center point of the pie chart, where the lines meet, is slightly off. It’s making my eye twitch.

Same place for me I’m betting, but three weeks on a longer “choose your own adventure” route. We chose to hike most of every day and cover as much ground as possible instead of stopping at the more “comfortable” areas that had facilities.
I forget the exact distance but pretty sure it was over 225 miles.

… Sorry, I’ve been reading the Mistborn series and just finished “The Hero of Ages”

The sad part is now the thief will get all the hornet honey : /
That IS uplifting.
