In the US, all AutoZone and Advance Auto Parts will dispose of your oil for free. Also, most municipalities will take it at special centers (same place where you might go to dispose of electronics).

Personally I have a designated where I let the oil collect from multiple oil changes, and then I take it to the county landfill maybe once every two years when there's enough to justify a trip.

It's a small hassle, but worth it IMO. Just depends on what is available to you.

You can teach yourself how to change the oil on your car simply by watching YouTube videos. And then all you need to buy are a few basic supplies, and you'll be able to change your oil for life. Oil changes are either absurdly expensive (dealership) or done half-assed (Jiffy Lube), so doing it yourself gives you a job done right for pennies on the dollar.

And if you find that you have a knack for it, you can teach yourself more basic maintenance jobs like changing brake pads.

Just want to note that the link is an opinion piece, not a news article.

I think it's very on-brand for Reddit to announce that they are removing a feature without having a replacement ready for primetime.

Why on Earth would you announce this now when you're not ready for whatever is coming next? It's like they are purposely trying to kill Reddit.

I'm only half joking that I'm expecting Mark Zuckerberg to announce a new app called "Links" next week that looks suspiciously like Reddit, because this pattern is starting to feel familiar.

It's so on-brand for Reddit to announce killing these features without any explanation of what is to take its place. Just a vague mention of more communication "in the coming months".

How exciting.

Reminds me of when they killed Reddit Gifts/Secret Santa.

Reddit and Twitter are racing to see who can kill themselves faster.

True in society at large, but to be fair, I don't think this post is trying to be "Team Threads" as much as it's trying to point out the consequences of the very different decisions they made. And hopefully in the future, some stupid CEO will think twice when trying to implement shit like Elon Musk did.

For better or for worse, the Plague Tale games are my favorite games of all time. I'm certainly not claiming that they're the best, they're just my favorite. Love the fairly short length, love the attention to detail with the setting, love the characters, the storytelling, just everything about it.

Asobo Studio's work is incredible for being pretty much indie developers. Not only did they do these two games, but they did freaking Flight Sim 2020 for Microsoft!

Can't wait for Plague Tale 3.

The OP is the mod of this sub and he posts about almost every game coming to PS5. It's not an ad for Baldurs Gate lol. Honestly Baldurs Gate does not need an ad. People have been hyped about it for years.

Are you a developer of both Lemmy and Jerboa? I just realized I think I've seen your name in both places. You are a freaking hard worker!!!

This is just my own take, but I feel like at least part of the reason they went back to releasing new versions is because of the recent resurgence of macOS. Not only do Macs have the excitement of Apple Silicon, but they have annual "new" OS releases; even if not much has changed, it creates excitement with their fanbase. I think Microsoft realized that it's not very exciting to just be on Windows 10 forever. So we got Windows 11.

I'm hoping it comes to the NSO service soon. Of course there's nothing wrong with emulating, but it would be cool to play it on the Switch too.
