    “When life gives you lemons on the condition they take 99% of your earnings, make 100 lemonades.”
    - The grind mindset “alpha males” teach.

        Build quality (over 10 pounds of solid metal, no plastic parts), completely disassemble-able/maintenance friendly, replacement parts available (and have been for over a decade), and the 20:1 leverage gets a ton of juice out. Like enough that I have to drastically adjust recipes that say things like “the juice of two limes”. And not that this makes it better, but does affect the price, it’s made in the US. The target market isn’t residential, it’s busy bars with fresh squeezed citrus, and for that, the speed, reduced waste, and durability (and lack of tiring out your arm) make up for the cost. For residential, it’s a ridiculous splurge. When I bought it, they went for $400 and I found it on sale for $320. I’m guessing the cost of aluminum has gone up since.

    When life gives you lemons and you make a ton of lemonade, you’re going to need every container available to piss in.

    funny thing about lemons, life didn’t give them to us. We crossbred them into existence. We made the lemons.

    Ah yes, The Aperature Laboratories Life Gives You Lemons Launcher, a tool developed to inspire the technicians working on the combustible lemon to work faster.

        The machine was preprogrammed with over 1000 unique belittlements prerecorded by Cave himself which would play randomly each time a lemon was launched.

    Just a couple of posts above was the news about the Mullvad CEO being a white suprematist. ‘Nuff lemons.

        Capitalistic pigs can’t be normal, because money > morals, but only until a civil war starts where people hunt those pigs down. I am eagerly waiting for this.

          I can recommend AirVPN. Switched to then after Mullvad removed port forwarding and haven’t had a single problem since.

              Even better since they support port forwarding. They’re also a privacy focused. It is founded by privacy activists and has been like that since inception. I haven’t heard any bad stuff about the people behind it.

            Do you happen to know who owns them, if they’ve been raibed already and how that went?

              It is created by privacy activists and is still run by the original owners. I haven’t heard of any raids but they’re using RAM servers so raids would be inefficient anyway.
