I was just about to comment the same thing!

Might be a 1 yard or 1 metre measuring stick that you can walk with. The wheel measures only really work because of tech that can measure a full rotation.

This explanation would also explain the lack of wear because it's not going to be worn down very fsst

    In leftist theory, there is a difference between "private property" and "personal property/belongings."

    Private property is property owned specifically for generating profit. For example, owning a home to rent it out, or shares in a company.

    Personal property/belongings are things you use. For example, the home you live in, your car, your toothbrush, etc. Under socialism, if multiple people use something, then you all partly own it, e.g. you would also partly own the business you work for ("the means of production"). You own everything you use and nothing you don't

    Snapper top-up fees: kiosk vs on your phone (lemmy.nz)
     

    Now that Snapper cards have the 1.5% processing fee on phone top-ups, I did a little math to figure out the cut-off for topping up at a kiosk instead.

    Kiosks have a flat 25¢ fee to top up if you use a debit card.

    If you are topping up $15 or less, you should top up on your phone (the fee is 23¢ or less). Anything higher than that, you should top up at a kiosk.

    The best strategy is to top up as much as you can at a kiosk in one go.

    Pop_OS! help: system frequently freezes when updating (lemmy.nz)

    Whenever I update a package or the system via the Pop! Shop, or downloading a game or updates from Steam, my desktop constantly freezes and hangs. It works perfectly fine otherwise.

    I was wondering whether this was common behaviour. It's a bit frustrating because it means I have to pick my moments to update to be when I can go do something else for a while and come back.

    If I'm on a Discord call and am doing an update or downloading a game on steam, the freezes mean that my friends can't hear me and I can't hear them.

    I've tried Googling it but haven't found anyone with this specific issue yet.

    I run a medium-power gaming desktop rig.

    Any advice on how to fix or improve this?

    Update:

    Here are my hardware specs. Sorry for not including them earlier; I was at work when I posted this.
