I have had YouTube Premium Music since it was launched. I uploaded nearly 15,000 MP3s at the time. Now that the family plan is $28 a month, what free alternatives are out there for music streaming?

I'm extremely concerned about the intensively arrogant and privileged Anti Woke edgelord chud comedy on YouTube like with Babylon Bee, Steven Crowder, Hodgetwins .etc

I am now looking for recommendations of some hilarious left leaning and woke vibed joke tellers and comedy groups on the platform in the same vibes as South Park, The Onion, Colbert Report, Chelsea Handler, WKUK, Sir Pelo .etc

So far I got it down with just Wizards With Guns, Mrs Betty Powers, Penguinz0, Chazington, Funkyfrogbait, and Contrapoints. Any other suggestions to try out

answers please.

Edit : So I probably should have been more specific . Im looking for a big cooking pot , not one of those factory mixing tanks lol. I guess something that is about the size of about 100 Litres

Someone here suggested I speak to a black smith about it an I honestly have no Idea how to even begin contacting blacksmiths in toronto. If you can let me know then please do. I do have a couple things Im willing to pay to have welded , this pot included. But my biggest questions to the blacksmith would be:

  1. 'How do I determine the 'quality' of the steel thst is being used? What the hell is 'steel quality' anyways? can it be quantified or is it qualitatively determined or both?

  2. I am looking for steel that could almost last me a lifetime so any ideas as to what I should evem begin to research about when it comes to steel like this? ?

  3. ' Im looking for steel that is resistant to water and hot water for the pot that I need welded and then I am looking for steel that is resitant to sweat and external forces (both horizontal and vertical) for this pull up station I need welded where can I research what types of steels I need for these two types of products?

Basically, a fictional character that is not conventionally attractive - often even not human - that you find oddly attractive.

There’s something about the tension between Basil and Ratigan in The Great Mouse Detective that does something for me lol

Every negative emotion I have, I'm told to go to therapy.

Negative emotions are human!

Why have we, as a society, grown to fear them?

So i was earlier at mainstream social media apps, by it was very shitty(dumb people), then I went to reddit, after some while I realised it's also shit(clown people and dumb mods, like no freedom). So now I found this. I have few queries- 1.How does fediverse and lemmy work, couldn't find much on the Internet and AI wasn't much help either. 2.Whats the environment here? 3.What all words and how freedom is allowed here? 4.What are some general rules/unspoken tradition to follow if any? 5.Anything else u wanna tell about

My family's history and story is of great concern to, so much so that I intend to reconstruct the family tree as far as I can get in order to know who came before me.

In this same sense, I put a lot a value into objects that have reached through the generations. I have china, some furniture, personal items, photos and photo albums, etc.

Everything tells a piece of a story I wasn't able to fully live through and instead just brushed me growing up.

It gives me a sense of belonging.

I've noticed that American movies from the 1940s or 50s have their content "toned down" when it comes to depictions of sex or violence, even in romance where the lead characters kiss (they pause every 3 seconds) with zero nudity except maybe a bra & crime or noir flicks always involving the protagonist/s winning (like the narrative shows police must be victorious rather than admitting defeat towards criminals) to list a few.

TL;DR: what are your tricks to keep the interior air of a house pleasant when living in a stinky locale?

For the next couple years, I am stuck on land* in a house that is occasionally downwind from a paper mill. Holy hell, the smell can be eye-wateringly bad when the winds blow just the wrong way. The house is ~1700 square feet with HVAC.

*I normally live on my sailboat and move around at will.

I have an ozone generator for serious de-stinking, but wow ozone is nasty even in small quantities. I have a Corsi-Rosenthal box, but that does nothing for smells. I was thinking maybe a big tray of activated charcoal in the HVAC intake and another in the CR box. In my experience, the tiny charcoal filters in most air cleaners get saturated in about 48 hours. What works for y'all? Super extra bonus points for ongoing maintenance and cost-reduction tips and tricks.

Thank you fellow Lemmings for anything ya got.

The idea is a static body VTOL design that can hover stable in the air, and also go at high speeds very efficiently with wings. Could modify dimensions as needed, but general idea, I'm unsure if there's a major design issue?

You can choose where you end up. Where would you go and what would you do? (No stupid, unthoughtful answers like. A few minutes into the past or the future, etc. Assume this has to be full on you popping into a different point in time)

I do not understand the mathematics behind the dilemma. I'm assuming only the firts chicks cost money, because down the line they will breed.
But feeding them, housing them - vitamins and doctoring costs a lot of money.

So anyone with couple or more chickens - how much does it cost to have them on the table? And realistically how many eggs do you get?

i know that this character appears in it too, but i cannot identify it.

I've let go of liquid soaps in the last few years and opted to used classic solid soaps for my hygiene but between trendy scents or seasonal supply I haven't been able to find a soap I can stay with.

This led me to consider making my own soap but is it worth it?

Artisanal soaps are expensive and hard to find in my country and mostly pass the notion they are targetting luxury customers and not making something for everyone to use and enjoy and trying to make an effort to create change.

I am aware initial costs have to be considered and that there is a learning to it.

I was curious how common it is to be, say, a leftist in a very conservative area.

My county, family, and school are all very conservative. It makes it a bit intimidating to engage in any political discussion. I also rarely get to hear leftist opinion anywhere in person, which means i need to devote a lot of time to considering and thinking about arguments that are probably already solved.

Are you, or have you been, in a similar situation?

This guy's life story is insane.

1st. He's born in Senegal, technically part of France at the time, brought to Europe and then abandoned. I feel like that's already more story arc than most movies these days.

2nd. Becomes a teenage boxer. Mediocre boxer.

3rd. Joins France in WWI. France wins the war. He's a decorated hero, but still black and something of a 2nd class citizen.

4th. Becomes a championship boxer. Shockingly defeating the white French national hero in a huge fight (that may have been fixed) in front of 55,000 people. Also Ernest Hemingway was there front row and he wrote a story about it.

5th. Moves to New York. Refuses to throw fights. Becomes alcoholic and bitter.

6th. Gets assassinated. Dead at age 28.

Tell me this isn't some sort of Oscar bait fiction?
