She's not normally like this

If there's no situational cause for this change in behavior, there's a chance she's experiencing paranoia from an undiagnosed mental health condition. Look up the signs of mania (bipolar disorder), borderline personality disorder, and schizophrenia. If it looks like it might be one of those then you need consult professionals and family because it's not something you're going to be able to help her with on your own with advice from Internet strangers.

Take care of yourself, of she continues to behave abusively you need to get away whether this behavior comes from untreated illness or not.

It will make the air behind your fridge warmer in exchange for making the air around your body cooler. There's usually not great airflow behind the fridge so it won't affect the rest of your house much.

If you've got an open kitchen or something you can still freeze the bottles at night and use them during the day.

I had a coworker who used to dress like this, his go-to was a naval peacoat with a top hat.

On Halloween he came to work wearing a hoodie and jeans and it freaked everyone out.

Delicious in Dungeon had a running joke where the dwarf kept thinking the halfling was a child and complimenting him for "being so skilled at his age". Eventually the halfing gets frustrated and says he's 29 to which the dwarf and elf reply "oh so you are a child".

I get that you've got good intentions, but this reads like an email I would find my spam folder and I can't imagine it would inspire any reddit mods to move over to Lemmy. The mods who were so dissatisfied with Reddit that they would be willing to migrate with the information in this script have already done so.

There are likely be some who might be willing to migrate if they get personal support from an instance admin or some other tangible offer of assistance, but nobody is going to jump ship just because "Reddit Bad" anymore.

the funniest ideas were always the ones people came up with when our work kept us up late at night

I see we're still glorifying toxic work cultures.

This is a disaster waiting to happen, especially when reputable mushroom books look like this

I always appreciate how the game FTL made "diverting power from life support" make sense. You don't do it when your shield generators are damaged, you do it when your reactor is too damaged to output enough power for both shields and life support.

Whenever I try to post an image this morning, the upload fails no matter what browser/client/frontend I use with:

Request error: error sending request for url (http://pictrs:8080/image): operation timed out

Also this shows a popup with SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'R', "Request er"... is not valid JSON but I assume that's a bug with the lemmy frontend since voyager shows the correct error.

Not saying that Facebook/Meta aren't terrible but this is a misunderstanding of what happened with Cambridge Analytica.

Facebook didn't sell anything to Cambridge Analyitica. Their API at the time allowed CA to gather information about you and all of your friends when you took one of their free personality quizzes (during the era when 90% of Facebook was people sharing personality quizzes).

When Facebook found out what CA had done, they fixed their API to prevent it from happening again (not because they cared about user privacy but because CA got a bunch of information from them that they could use to target advertisements on their own without paying FB to run ads) and covered it up so their users wouldn't know how massively negligent they had been with their data.

So it's not that Facebook was wantonly selling you data to shady characters so much as they were carelessly leaking your data to any shady characters who happened by.
