Some jerk company (like Google) cannot suddenly discontinue my entire reader with all my feeds, because its mine, on my server. But because it's a web app, I can use it from any device, unlike a local app. After Google killed reader, That was just too annoying. Self hosted since.

This sounds like it should be the premise of a Doctor Who episode.

You're going to have to accept that she is stupid and insane. Don't take it personally when the mentally ill person denies that your profession exists. She is delusional, and we must be patient with the crazies.

The problem with using YT videos is that they are transitory. Also, you're then subjecting your reader to somebody else's advertisements for their gain.

If you have a poor quality, low density (often mass produced), ceramic plate, there are tiny air bubbles inside it. These vibrate when the microwave runs, heating the plate faster/more than the food. This is the same reason why some mug handles get hot enough for 2nd or 3rd degree burns in the microwave while others never get the "microwave handle of death". Better made ceramics will have far fewer (or none) of these bubbles. This is why usually hand made pottery will not heat up like this, while factory stuff that was quickly poured into molds often will.

Do not use their router. You are not required to. I have xfinity, and I use my own modem and my own router. No monthly rental fee. Just takes a little research before purchase.

But, um, the first national free lunch programs were started in this country because when WWII started, the government found that the post-Great-Depression populace was so stunted from malnourishment that there was concern about recruiting enough eligible soldiers. So, does this mean Republicans no longer want a military? No more sending poor people to fight their wars?

Well, I completely ignored karma on Reddit for around a decade, until a friend one day pointed my huge karma out to me in a very enthusiastic way. I believe I will also ignore it here.
