Comment and Link Roundup: August 31, 2022
Comments on my own posts:

Comments on other people's posts:
[Dreamwidth; Wayback] (OP bymindstalk) Old kitchen appliances (and when to replace them); the wonders of mosquito nets. [two comments]
[fairly mild cw: food] [Dreamwidth; Wayback] (OP bymindstalk) Optimal potato baking.
[arguably cw: discourse] [WordPress (Tumblr)] (OP by Anonymous; partly in response to![[tumblr.com profile]](https://www.tumblr.com/favicon.ico)
jadagul) The unrelatability of complaints about modernity (or at least these sub-genres of complaints).
(Update: writing that post inspired me to give warc2zim another try, and this time I successfully got it working! (The Linux port of Kiwix can't *directly* display warc2zim files, but it turns out there's a workaround: activate local-server mode and view the file through your web browser.) Mobile access, baby! (*And* it's even slightly more space-efficient!))
[WordPress (Tumblr)] (OP bytransgenderer) How to send and receive SMS messages from your laptop.
[fairly mild cw: illness] [Dreamwidth; Wayback] (OP bycamwyn) Dutch has some amazing profanity.
[Dreamwidth; Wayback] (OP bycamwyn) The wonders of mosquito nets, disability edition.
[WordPress (Tumblr)] (OP bydoctorwhoisadhd; in response to itsbenedict) How to play Character Opinion Bingo.
[arguably cw: unreality] [WordPress (Tumblr)] (OP byseat-safety-switch) Solar phone charging, the easy ways.

Links:
[My Modern Met; Wayback] (by Larisa Crowder) The technology behind heated car seats, now wearable and reversible (that is to say, it can also do cooling). (Kind of expensive and hard to get, but I suppose new devices usually are.)
[cw: illness] [Dreamwidth; Wayback] (by the United States Department of Homeland Security, Science and Technology Directorate; h/tsiderea) How to disinfect monkeypox fomites, and how not to.
[arguably cw: venting] [The Millions; Wayback] (by Rebecca Steinitz) A personal view of anosmia. (I came across this link buried in an old email, where I was recommending it to others. It's interesting to look back at it now, having developed a very different relationship with anosmia.)
[Mobile Syrup; Wayback] (by Jonathan Lamont) Payment-method optimisation is about to become *even more* complicated. My parents can't keep up as it is.
[Imgur; Wayback] (h/t Marri) Ordinary office worker in the streets...
Laugh rule:
[cw: illness] [Jenneral HQ; Wayback] (by Jenn)
(...I admit that this line is significantly less funny after I looked it up and discovered that the singular of Loblaws *is* sometimes "Loblaw", and not *always* also "Loblaws".)

Relatedly, as a #millennial, the whole #supportlocal lifestyle where I go to 4 specialty grocers for specific ingredients instead of one (1) Loblaw is very appealing to me.
