I'm barely into my 30's so it's far too early to say what I'll be doing. I aim to be debt free within 10 years and have no major life goals after that. Another 10 years and pension should cover my living costs 1:1, so monetarily I should be fine.

Definitely counts as spam. I give them a few courtesy clicks on the "unsubscribe", if I still get the chance in yet another email, I go for the "report as spam" as they clearly don't give a damn.

Also, screw those who require you to login to update your preferences, they also get a quick treatment as above. Take me to the page where I can adjust the types of email I get if you must, but obey the unsubscribe demand by default.

In the end, "report as spam" is two clicks away making it the easiest route to achieve the same result.

"I got an offer I couldn't refuse." and leave it at that! The offer might as well be just 'not having to deal with you guys anymore'.

Killing Gmail would be like killing search or youtube, they would NOT dare.

Cordless vacuum was a costly one but certainly made that chore a lot more easy and kinda fun. I planned to store it in a closet but I'd take it out every few days so eventually I started leaving it on the floor, it's not in the way there either.

I don't like the idea that if history repeats itself, a powerful entity can force the data vaults open and see who they should send to the showers. I could be on the "correct" side at that time yet something I did or said last year has the system deem me unfit for the noble breed.

My vote goes to Google, to whom I am tightly married. It's ecosystem and interconnectivity between apps as well as devices is unbeatable. It's super reliant.

It's the one entity that can wreck my online and offline presence. I mean, I use android and Google to login everywhere. If Mr. Google so decrees, my phone could wipe and google account be gone tomorrow. Same applies to Apple and Microsoft, but I don't use their systems as much. The poison I picked is Google and I hate it.

How "not old" everything is. I'm not old, but when I was young I thought people my age were at the general end of one's life. People also are surprisingly clueless.

Maybe we could start manufacturing mini black holes to build the dark bulbs!

Many machines use a bimetal to lock the door, a stupidly simple design. Metal heats up, bends and triggers the lock. It takes a while to cool down which is why it'll take a while to unlock even if you unplug the machine.

In case you'd like to see bigclive explain it in detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIm7q_U3UEM

But please create it somewhere else than lemmy.world as well as it's by far the largest one. Gotta distribute and disperse across fedi!
