It's me, Jack. Joseph Bidome! The banana controversy is just my opponent trying to distract you from my fantastic achievements as BOTUS. Bidome of the United Sticks.
Just needs a horn tha quacks and they're all set.
I like the truck. Looks like it's nice for the driver!
I have no idea about the first question. The answer to the second is that this meme has been reposted so many times it is no longer a whole meme.
I've never seen it before I found it either, and I assumed it would be longer because nothing else makes sense. So I looked it up but in the end I thought it would be a better post in the state I found it tbh
Jag visste att de inte gillade krypterade appar, men ärligt talat hade jag inte förväntat mig något sådant. Tänkte avinstallera den, men det visade sig att jag redan gjorde det eftersom den drar sjuhelvetes mycket batteri.
Another part of the equation for me is that the creators get a larger piece of the cash pie. YouTube still gets their cut from the premium membership, just as it does with ads. But the piece that otherwise goes to the the ad budget goes to the creator instead.
Yeah, I wasn't trying to be rude though I get that the pic without context came off pretty odd. I was just trying to illustrate to others how it would actually be worth not having ads blasted in your face for 7000 hours.
If premium turns ad-supported I will re-evaluate my decision, of course.
edit: for context, I have 7000 hours of uninterrupted streaming on YouTube. It's been well worth the cost to me. But this is with the model being ad-free. If that ever changed I would need to re-evaluate my position, but I do like that my subscription can give support to creators (support which is larger per view than that of an ad user) at the same time.
I just really wanted to say this somewhere.
I've gone and bought myself one of those vintage Singer automatic zigzag attachments. A swiss made one, specifically. I did so with the knowledge that they would be more or less nothing but a gimmick.
Online, most people are very much in general agreement that these attachments are useless for actual work. They can't do edges properly and they aren't reliable when it comes to width of stitches. They're hard to steer and, as I said, pretty much a gimmick. The general consensus seems to be "they're fun, but buy a buttonholer instead".
Now, I disagree. At least these Swiss ones are perfectly usable as long as they're oiled up and adjusted. And this is the whole reason I'm making this post. Because maybe there's someone here on Lemmy who's been wondering about it.
The example picture above isn't an edge seam made after tens of hours of struggling. That's the second piece of test cloth I put under it after taking the thing out of the box. Is it perfect work? Definitely not, but it's the first time I tried to do an edge with it. This is a piece of cotton bedsheet cloth folded once, so pretty thin. I didn't press it, and I didn't think much when I did it. Since then I've used it on 4mm thick felt for edges. Works fine.
I just felt the need to say this. Maybe it's not that relevant to most people - hopefully it's useful to someone.
Thank you for coming to my LEMtalk.
