    I suppose also, there was likely a time before modern textiles when wearing a skirt that was durable enough for every day use could have been pretty uncomfortable

    Well the truth is I recently started a job at a high school and the female students mostly wear skirts, of them about half of them wear dark stockings and I just ¯_ (ツ) _/¯ I dunno I just wondered what they do but looking through the comments it totally makes sense that they'd add a layer of comfort particularly in colder months, when I realized I also wear a tight pair of thermal pants sometimes then it became clearer as well

    Not that anyone has to justify wearing what they wear I was just slightly curious is all

    I know it's not exactly what you're asking but when faced with the same scenario my wife insisted on getting a dyson stick vacuum and even though I wanted a robot I have to say the dyson turned out to be a great choice, it's compact and convenient enough that it gets used daily and if you want to spot clean something it's a sinch, I haven't used a robovac so I can't really compare it but it's hard to imagine that it would perform as well, its worth mentioning that the motor is fairly powerful, it's easy to clean after each use and it stacks away nicely in the cupboard

    I looked a little closer at the battery connectors and when pulling the battery out I must have yanked the little wires out of the clip just ever so slightly (I could see a little bit of them reflecting on one side) I carefully pushed them back in and avast! There is life again! Thank you kind stranger!

    I haven't seen any notable issues yet, a lot of people use a wireless pi zero to do the same thing so as long as you aren't running a state of the art gaming rig (which i'm not) I think it'll be fine

    I just discovered this and it works fantastically on any old / unused android device you might have lying around, I was shocked at how easy it was, all the instructions are there, once you have it running all you need to do is set your router DNS settings to your pihole IP address and presto!

    I was very bolshy in deleting my reddit account and made a real solid commitment to only use Lemmy the instant that the api changes where announced, .. Two months later and I started feeling a bit stranded, at times it seems like there's nothing but content about programming, Linux, Foss, privacy, and Ukraine but at other times it can be really engaging..

    However I have ended up making a new reddit account just so I can lurk from time to time

    wtf is nostr?

    So no question I've been enjoying lemmy, I love the freedom it offers and I love the seemingly simple and elegant framework it runs on however after having ditched Reddit for the hopes of a similar or improved content experience I have to say it is quite a bit smaller and therefore barren at times which is both a good and bad thing depending on your needs And then of course there's kbin and masterdon which from my understanding is a little more geared towards the twitter-like micro blogging But this morning somehow I stumbled across nostr which I have never heard of but I was wondering if anyone out there has any experience with it? There's a Web app like voyager at iris.to that makes browsing pretty simple..
