I Tried Reddit Again and it Sucks Now in c/reddit@lemmy.world

I deleted my account as part of the Great Reddit Exodus of 2023 but have periodically visited the site since without an account.

Many of the posts I see now seem really sensationalist and almost like they were created by bots. Of course, maybe Reddit was always that way and it just some time being away for me to realize that.

Thanks! I'll give that a shot!

I really just need the audio. I’ve watched older Trek so much that I’ve half-memorized the dialogue. It would be nice just to have the audio in the background while I’m working.

For a while now I have been wanting to play old episodes of TNG, DS9, VOY, and ENT in the background in Spanish during the day to passively brush up on my Spanish.

Paramount Plus doesn't offer these shows with Spanish audio in the US, which is very odd considering that the US has the second-highest number of Spanish speakers in the world. I also tried getting a Mexican Paramount Plus account and VPNing in, which worked for a little while until they removed all older Trek content from Paramount Plus in Mexico.

I'd really hate having to resort to DVDs and/or BluRays, but at this point that looks like my only option. Before doing that, I thought I'd ask here and see if anyone has any other recommendations.

East Liverpool and Circleville are almost 200 miles apart from each other.

YSK: A car takes uses about seven seconds worth of fuel to start up. If you are going to idle for a period of time longer than that, you'll save fuel by turning your engine off. in c/youshouldknow@lemmy.world

It's amazing how much batteries have increased in price since Covid.

Thanks for reminding everyone of this. The gas savings over time will probably end up being the same, or less, than a starter on an older vehicle. Of course, if you're not planning on keeping the vehicle until it dies, this is less of an issue for you.
