I myself am nearly to “please call Poison control” levels of caffeine in my bloodstream, so it must be nearly 9:30. Earl Grey Syndrome sets in around 4 usually.
I’m okay with appliance making cute little dings or buzzes but if they chime out a full song it creeps me right out. I’m gonna get the clothes out of the wash you don’t have to scream “Mary had a Little Lamb” at me.
Do you have any idea how weird that was the first time someone brought one of those in? We absolutely refused to believe him - we were an ISP that only did a little PC work - until we had it on the bench and it really was doing it.
My mom gets a scam page on her browser like once a week. It jams full screen and she cant remember F10 or winkey to get it to where she can kill it (#retirees). So it’ll play “you have a virus. Call the number on the screen” through her internal speaker and USB headphones looping the same minute-long speech for days until she calls me to fix it.
While Canada claims to be a climate leader, the oil and gas we export to other countries have the potential to produce more emissions in a year than every sector in Canada combined, an independent analysis reveals.
Snowden said he does expect Melania Trump to show face throughout the campaign and to make key speeches, but that he also thinks that the former president would “continue to be very protective of her.”...
I use Ansible all day. For work. Oh, god, is it sad compared to everything else in the space. RedHat had the choice between two in-house products and they chose poorly.
It can do lots of configuration and [set up] and install flatpaks.
We had that 20 years ago, just with a different product. The state of the art is now two generations newer.
Current archaeology has identified not one but two previous periods where humans lived in present-day America before the current ‘first’ nations. The last group, immediately before the current one, died suddenly and with tool marks showing on the long bones.
I love when it comes around to this part of the cycle, right after “one party is cruel and the other is stupid” and before “but if we split the vote we could lose our right to vote”.

Can we make new ones? Like, I’ve blown that one about shouting Jehovah in frustration, so we should just ditch it - too hard - and go with “don’t be a dick – wil Wheaton” - WITH the attribution - and maybe swap out some others too.
My neighbor’s wife has a pretty donkey, if I’m honest, and I’m told gawking at it is verboten if it’s also his. It’s a lot of math, I think.
This happens on my country all the time of late . I can’t even pronounce the letters in the new name of the hospital where I was born.
They’re gonna name the town the same name, so I wonder whether I’ll get a passport with a home town I can’t say or spell, or a passport with a home town that no longer exists. Either way, I’m getting strip-searched .
The U.S. announced May 31 that it killed three militants in a Somalia airstrike. Officials now say the target was ISIS leader Abdulqadir Mumin, but also say they aren’t certain he is dead....
Just don’t repeat the 2016 election fiasco and you have a chance to fix the other stuff. Otherwise, the border wall is almost done so come north while you can. It’s mainly a trench filled with angrier geese, but we were stuck with them after they ate the alligators.
You’re arguing with an anti-gun audience that knows nothing about any of this. All they know is, “Guns bad!” (Wait till they find out about the shoestring conversion kit.)
Former infantry here.
Guns should only be used by trained professionals who know not to pull the trigger.
The AR-15 is a tool for people who can’t aim well.
The only purpose for a bump-stock is to turn murder into mass-murder. It has no other purpose.
This is an important hint around all the jargon that anglos grew up repeating; and I only sometimes realize how deeply it pervades our speech.
“So I had to hit the ATM for a PATH ticket to get to SoHo and venmo a new LCD for my s20 instead of hopping the turnstile but I found some susy-Bs in my 505s so I was mint” could make perfect sense to an anglo (living in Jersey City) but to an Icelander there’s not much context to help dereference all the jargon.
Saying “‘ATM’ machine”, with the jargon explained a bit, could definitely help. I gotta be less of a pedantic dick.
I was thinking about using graphene OS, but I’ve read some lemmy users dislike this OS due to perceived misleading advertising and the pixel 7a you’re supposed to install graphene on because it’s from google (an advertising company)....
When has the party put up a new candidate to replace an incumbent with a term to go?
I’m not sure this was made clear, but THERE IS NO CHOICE ‘C’. there’s no “none of the above” that works. It’s a binary choice, and we can’t bargain around it. Vote for Biden or accept all of Trump. Every other choice other than voting for Biden is enabling Trump. Staying home? Trump. Spoiling a ballot? Trump.
That’s it.
Yeah, it sucks. We get that. Largely, we agree. He’s got faults. He’s made mistakes. He’s made concessions. Still, it’s like this:
They’re not Trump. That’s the vote. You can be a single-issue voter if you like, because we all are. Our single-voter issue is preserving the ability to vote other issues later.
RvW is important; my god, is it important. School-kid safety is important. Gun safety is important. Healthcare is important.
Democracy is crucial. It keeps those other things possible. We lose that and every.other.important.matter is dead. It’s cutting off the nose to spite the face. It’s fiddling while Rome burns. It’s deck chairs on the Titanic. It’s a lively sports discussion while you’re landing the Hindenburg.
You want RvW? Vote Biden for a chance or it’s not happening ever. I want strong gun safety regs and healthcare. Biden for a glimmer of hope or nothing at all.
The pattern is real. Every single-issue voter needs to protect their issue by voting not-Trump, and we argue our real issues once we can safely do so.

Iceland loves them some traffic circles: easy to maintain as they don’t need power lines digged through the freakin’ basalt. But they have traffic lights too – and even some with heart-shaped indicators. It’s a little quaint; and from my short stays in the country, it just kinda fits.

But he’ll do it on the way out, I’m sure. Hunter has served his purpose as being a showpiece for the belligerent right, albeit not as good as they hoped, and someone’s kept the email traffic where they strategized about this as a distraction.
I hope Hunter is safe in the Fed clink, and I hope if he’s still got a substance issue that it gets resolved.
both lazy welfare leaches and simultaneously stealing all the jobs
They’re half right, and I wanna talk about that.
I’ve worked with a lot of Romanian kids in I.T, and these people are the most effective, skillful, professional and happy I.T people I’ve seen. I’m none of those things, some days.
They’re stealing jobs by being so fucking heroic, and I know I can’t compete.
They represent super well. That’s all I gotta say. Hire more Romanian kids for I.T, and I’ll be down at the bread line, because der takin meh jerb.
Trump Demands Biden Remove Ad of Him Calling Dead Soldiers ‘Suckers’ and ‘Losers’ - The former president said only a “psycho” or a “very stupid person” would’ve made such statements.
I think I’d like to see the numbers to back up your statements about the war in question, WW2. Or, sit back in your armchair because it’s still Monday morning somewhere.
My family, in or out, are 7 shades of angry at those comments. But we aren’t in range to vote for him or an opponent.
Our local conservative elitists may one day say the same thing, but as lifelong politicians from college they’re smarter than that. If they did, I know too many of my family (who know better) would do mental backflips to somehow make it okay to still vote for them.
It’ll sound like “yeah, well Milhouse said we’re losers but Hairguy wore a tan jacket that one day so I’m still going with Milhouse” and I can only not invite them to Thanksgiving so hard.
I went in because it’s how poor kids go to college, here.
My buddy went in from Montgomery AL, as his economic alternatives were terrible, and he did report a high numbers of ex-felons attempting self-reform in his Marines unit; some with success, others missing the mark. He leveraged his time to great success by the time I met him, all his boyhood chums dead or jailed by 25.
I’ve known several members of my nation’s armed forces who enlisted as a career and were capable of many other options, but they chose this one. We do choose it like Fireman, even though here it’s thankless.
It seems entirely environment-dependent, though. I see one guy on here who claims to be ex-military but talks as if out of an armchair, and definitely has ‘outlying’ beliefs that would draw criticism from serving members.
Here’s the thing: Every ounce burned creates emissions, which harms the atmosphere, which is already at a tipping point, and this on a 20-year lag. Burning the already extracted oil that’s being stored now will be enough to absolutely destroy to planet to where we can’t live on it, and we’re currently in the future we made 20 years ago, and the future we’d have if we only drastically reduced consumption just after Y2K but didn’t stop using it completely. We did neither, and so we have all this stashed oil we’re eager to use.
So we don’t even have to extract another ounce if we want to wreck the planet to where we’re extinct: We just need to use our reserves. Extracting that oil is no longer important, then. We can shut the rigs and walk away, and it’s already too late unless we make some serious investment in reversing what we’ve already done. We haven’t made appreciable progress yet, so killer heat-waves and ‘small’ killer storms that only cause a few hundred-billion-dollars worth of damage and a few thousand deaths each year is a nightmare scenario we’re only going to experience for a short time before it gets worse and keeps getting worth for 20 years – or more, if we keep going.
