White.

I think because when I was young I associated it with angels and purity and I wanted to be a good person.

Now I just think it looks crisp and clean and it's always been "my" color in games

CDN would be my guess as well. Maybe not different, but they would definitely have their ads queued up on every CDN possible while the video content is unlikely to be on your nearest CDN unless it's a Mr. Beast video

The answer is still to adopt. The dogs are coming either from a shelter or a mill and both are good sources for adoption.

The former means it's still giving a dog a home. It is still a dog that needs a home regardless of which country it originated from.

The latter seems completely nonsense if the German shelters are paying full price and still giving the dogs up for adoption at reasonable rates. They'd be losing a ton of money. And if they're taking the leftovers from the puppy mills for cheap or free, then those are still losses to the mills and are discouraging more breeding. Also, those are still dogs that need homes regardless of source. Just because a dog was born in a mill doesn't mean it deserves not to be adopted.

In either case the answer is still to get a dog from a shelter.

Arctis 7 was truly the best headset, I have three pairs at this point. None of them broken - all were purchased because the headset was so good I wanted one for the office and for my wife.

However, Steelseries seems deadset on making worse versions of the Arctis with every iteration. The 9 was altogether disappointing and they are really trying to force all the features like the chat mix into Sonar software instead. Really disappointing.

I got excited when I saw this post because I knew someone in the comments would have a solution!

When I was younger I fell for two - baggy jeans and llamas.

I remember in 5th grade I tried to joke about llamas with one kid and show him the llama song (because he loved llamas) and he said I was just copying him. In hindsight fuck you Hans, you didn't invent llamas, you were just copying others too, you tool!

Baggy pants were regrettable too...

I have a four, but most are from instances I've moved away from.

Started on Beehaw but when they started defederating from everyone I made a programming.dev account.

Also created a personal instance, but it was too heavy for my NAS to be worth it.

Finally, an Mbin account recently because the communism stuff from the main developers seems to be pretty contentious right now and I want to explore alternatives while I'm still happy with Lemmy. If some "event" happens and I find the need to move somewhere else its good to have an alternative in the pocket

Really surprised nobody has mentioned Better World Books yet. Good selection of books, most of the used books seem to be former library books, and they (at least claim) to donate books to charity with every purchase.

You can get really cool books for really cheap with their bargain bin sales too.

I've also tried ThriftBooks but I got too many bad copies - one book, Lord of the Flies, which was owned by a high schooler and had writing on every single page of the book and another book which clearly had urine of some kind on it judging by how obsessed my cat was with the yellow stain on the spine. Their edition picker is also terrible, very similar to the way Amazon handles their options to where different editions are all smashed into one page.

We do have a couple containers of cat grass I rotate in so that they can have some to eat, but like you said getting a "lawn" out of the grass is difficult. It's usually very large, thick seeds that don't disperse very evenly

Definitely make your own, if you can stomach the time. You can buy molds online for a cheap initial investment, then just water down some fruit juice.

You can also use real fruit if you don't mind a chunkier texture and own a food processor already.

Really interesting take on layout. Seems pretty well developed though so my initial impressions are good.

Plus bonus points for putting the APK in their releases
