Not sure I believe that's true. They were NEVER going to change but were slapped in the face and directly impacted, They will not ever naturally care about other people. They don't like trump because he hurt THEM. I bet they're still perfectly ok with Alligator Alcatraz, because those people are getting what they deserve.

They're not awake, they're blindly voting 'blue' because 'red' hurt them.

YouTube showed me this new video and I thought it might be something old because I watch his clips . But no it was new and it was hilarious. I clicked in noticing it was an hour and thought I probably wouldn't make the whole thing but was wrong.

Jack White was surprisingly funny, with a dry humor and his guests (both local) and Jeff Daniels were also a riot.

Worth the watch, at least IMHO.

Lifetime subscriber when it was like $75 bux

Setup and runs on my NAS (unRAID) Uses a small GPU to transcode as needed Shared only with non technical family members

Has worked as is for YEARS.

So, the question is, am I looking for something to replace a working free (prepaid) solution I have? That answer is nope.

That means I'll end each day having only 50 posts remaining...

Even when I had an account years ago there was not a single day I posted/replied/commented/shared more than 1-3 times a day (1-3 interactions a day)

It was never my thing really so it was easy to remove from my life.

Getting a "new" phone number might be a way to disconnect you from that number if you keep it on the down low, but there's a high probability your gonna get someones old number that died or lost it and has LOTS of people/companies that wanna contact this number.

When my son got a phone (and number), the previous owner didn't tell anyone, not her pharmacy, not her friends and family. It took a long time to get all that BS behind us.

Curse you "Darla"!

I almost replied similarly, just means they didn't sell many BASE models.

I live in a relatively rural area outside a city "highway loop" and I see them all the time here. Someone down the road at a small business owns one so I see that one all the time but there are plenty around here and often wrapped in some weird colors.

Hello fellow Hoosier

it's an indicator... But, with all the "stuff" going on, it could have just been the current 'hot topic' which voters were tricked into "if we don't support THIS terrible thing, the democrats are going to do THAT terrible thing" and its not necessarily reflective of actual beliefs.

So, did they vote the way their constituents wanted? This Tuesday's results would disagree with that no?

You can disable shorts on grayjay, of course you need an android device.

 

There's this...

 

Outside of Cincinnati and noticed I had no service around 11am. Started checking around ant it seems it's pretty widespread.

 

So, I never visit McDonald's. Oddly, I have managed to visit them twice this year. Once a month ago while traveling and it just worked out that it made the most sense when we stopped for fuel while traveling.

And second last night. We were at the lake late and coming home just before 9pm. Most non chain places were closing, and the only local spot open was McDonald's. Had the whole family including my visiting parents.

The experience was pretty awful. First, they had 3 employees in the building, and the expectation was that you use the Kiosk. I didn't have 'strong' opinions of having to use it vs. speaking to a human. However after ordering 4 meals on it, it is quite the nightmare for the casual visitor. Probably took 4x as long to order our food.

My parents took their order on a second Kiosk and were not even able to complete their order (Parents are in their mid 70s). Not sure what happened, I wasn't watching them. My dad was quite irritated at this point.

After asking one of the humans multiple times for help, he took their order at the register.

<insert 30 minute wait for food>

Our food was placed in their pickup area in bags with napkins (store napkin holder empty). Nearly every burger was overcooked and quite dry. Both my buns were hard. The fry's were luke warm and not very fresh. The meal for 2 adults and 2 14yos was $40 bux.

I saw a story on Lemmy last week about how McDonald's profits were down and the general consensus was that it was the over priced food. While I'm sure that has an impact I believe the Kiosk, slow 'fast food' and overall experience has to be a huge negative.

My parents were PISSED, and they are historically huge McD Patrons. At least in their case, the price will not be why they do not return. Its the awful experience.

 

Was hoping this would sort itself out, but after a couple weeks it's still there. Scrolling not always smooth, and swiping back from a post is always very studdery.

Wondering if others are experiencing this? Phone is 2 weeks old, came from a Pixel 7 Pro which didn't have this problem.
