A good compromise is to leave some "wild" patches for flowers and bugs and so on and use a mower robot to keep the rest short. Best of both worlds.

Great. removed by mods. So much for freedom of speech at this sub.

I am subscribed to amazon prime, mainly because of the benefits I have regarding shopping. I might cancel that subscription however. I am really annoyed right now because they changed their return policy and they try to force ads on me while at the same time reporting their modt profitable quarter.

No. They make money if they find a sponsor. I also skip over those sponsors' ads but the sponsors don't know that or they accept a certain fraction of people not watching their ads. I just don't watch ads. If, in the future, that means I cannot watch my favourite tubers' content, well too bad, I'll watch some ad-free netflix series or read a book or whatever. But one thing is certain: I'll rather light my dick on fire than watching ads. I even joined a class action lawsuit against amazon because they want to make me watch ads without my consent.

No, it could not have been avoided. I don't watch ads. Ads don't need to be "scam ads" for me to not watch them. I just don't. Full stop.

I'm teaching Highschool in Germany. We do fire drills once a year and involuntarily every time something goes wrong in chemistry class. We also do what we call amok drills every other year.

And in Germany we don't have those without filters.

On the other hand, we have 230V and our dish washers's sump only have half the sump size at most, they heat up the water in no time, even if it's cold to start with. So we've got that going for us which is nice.

Retardistan is hogging the biggest portion of the IPv4 addresses for themselves. That's why they have the worst IPv6 support. The need arose last in this part of the world.

I have an induction stove. The microwave isn't quicker.

I personally am not interested in women that are more than 5 or 6 years my senior or junior. But I don't judge. Why did I bring up the army, you ask? Only as an example of 'muricans deciding what's age-appropriate. Joining the army and going to war? 17 year olds will do. Having a beer and shagging the neighbour? NO! That's immoral if you are not at least 21 and/or about the same age as the neighbour! Driving a SUV that has hundreds of horse powers and weighs multiple tons? 16! It just doesn't make any sense. So maybe turn at least down the judgyness a nudge. So Seinfeld had a fling with a consenting adult. So what? Judge him for being the most overrated and unfunny comedian ever, not for this. But as a German, who am I to judge humor. I am sure some people even appreciate his "humor".

'Muricans and their opinions about age are really, really strange and shouöd not be a point of reference for anybody.
