Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I dropped and shattered one of my 'free' Mason jars that came with Classico pasta sauce. It's not fixable because, despite my complaints, Classico switched to lug-style jars and doesn't sell their sauce in the nice reusable ones anymore. I'd have to actually pay for real (empty) Mason jars if I wanted to replace it. : (
Luckily, I still have plenty of extras, but still...
pedantic caveats
Yes, I know the jars aren't really 'free' if I'm paying for the sauce.
Yes, I know I ought to just make my own sauce instead of using store-bought.
Yes, I know Classico jars are technically not as thick/strong as real canning jars from Ball etc. and shouldn't actually be used for canning.
Yes, I know lug-style jars could be reused too; it's just that they aren't compatible with the universe of Mason-style canning jar attachments.
A 'free' mason jar, or a 'free mason' jar? This is very important.
The former, LOL!
The Classico mason jars are branded "Atlas," but it is surprisingly difficult to figure out who actually makes them. (It isn't the same Atlas company that made real canning jars; that's been out of business for decades.)
Classico itself is owned by Kraft Heinz, which AFAIK isn't associated with Freemasonry, but it is a multinational food conglomerate and that's worse.
