The letters are just the latest embarrassment in an embarrassing agenda, and I'm kinda surprised they're still playing this dumb game.

I may well regret saying this but it doesn't really seem like there's been much in the way of consequences to the US economy. None that anyone seems to care about anyway.

Firstly, I respect your opinion as I probably shared it in the past.

Secondly, we're obviously talking about making the bed as in after you wake up. Making the bed as in fresh linen is an amazing feeling and absolutely worth while once every few weeks.

Now, to rebut your comments...

  1. It makes it more comfortable.

This is a silly reason, and I don't see how it's true.

It does however make bed time feel calmer and more soothing somehow. In my 20s I didn't care about quality sleep because you just bounce back from anything. In my 40s I do think about things like what might contribute to the perfect night's sleep. Having a shower, putting on clean pyjamas, and climbing into a nice bed in a tidy room just kinda sets the scene for a good sleep.

  1. it doesn't take much time so you may as well do it

any task not worth my time to be a waste

this is subjective. Your whole argument may as well be "I don't value having a made up bed", which would be fine, but that's not an unpopular opinion so much as a personal preference.

Regardless, you don't "make" the bed the same way you make it when putting on fresh linen. You just flick the covers straight. It takes less time than scratching your ass.

  1. It looks nice. And an unmade bed looks lazy

It's kinda weird how often people do see our bedroom TBH. Usually it's someone using the toilet in the en-suite when the other toilet is in use.

  1. It's a good example for our kids

There's no way our kids would keep a nice tidy bedroom if we didn't.

These are great, but beware the threads can be super sharp.

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 19 hours ago

How is that relevant?

I feel like you've missed the point of the cartoon.

The cars are blocking the construction of better infrastructure for walking and cycling.

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 19 hours ago

Yeah but no one will care.

Ok grok please write a response to this enquiry about a quote. Make it sound less woke.

Dude it's a joke, a witticism.

Officially, it's suicide, but everyone knows it's murder. You can acknowledge the absurdity by calling it a third absurd thing, like un-alived.

It just nuts that anyone would want this.

I agree it's hard to feel sympathetic for her.

That said, there's not much point changing her opinion now. May as well continue declaring loyalty as that's the only currency she has really.

Also water, they consume heaps of fresh water which is used for important meat bag things like, oh I don't know, eating and drinking perhaps.

No one is really challenging them on this, but water scarcity is going to be a big deal as climate change worsens.

Cook the planet and take all the water.

Supercomputers once required large power plants to operate, and now we carry around computing devices in out pockets that are more powerful than those supercomputers.

This is false. Supercomputers never required large [dedicated] power plants to operate.

Yes they used a lot of power, yes that has reduced significantly, but it's not at the same magnitude as AI

 

I'm looking for some kind of File Drop / File Upload service.

I'd like to be able to create a folder, and create a share / upload link for that folder that I can give to a customer to use to upload their documents.

I've been using nextcloud but I don't use nextcloud for any other purpose and it's a behemoth so I'd like to transition to something else.

Some of these requirements are essential (!):

  • no login for customers uploading (!)
  • optional password protection for uploads
  • can't see / download files already present in the shared folder
 

I can't decide the best way to secure our front loading washing machine.

We have twins. They're fascinated by the washing machine. Lights, beeps, action... everything. One twin getting inside and their erstwhile companion starting the cycle is absolutely possible.

Obviously we keep the laundry door closed but in a way you just build up the appeal. One of them has figured out how to open doors by standing on his trike.

I could put some kind of stick-on toddler lock on the door but I worry it would be tough to establish the habit of closing the door and putting that lock on. Besides which surely it's nice to leave the door open to dry out between loads anyway?

The washing machine does have a toddler lock but that's only to prevent someone changing the settings during a cycle, it doesn't prevent starting a cycle.

My best idea thus far is a timer on the power outlet. So you turn on the power and set the timer to turn it off after however long the load takes.

The problem with this is that I haven't been able to find a count-down style timer that allows you to set periods longer than 2 hours. Most power outlet timer thingies do schedules, not count-down.

I know this maybe sounds like an easily solvable problem - just turn the power off when it's done - but that's just not how things roll in our house.

 

The wife of a wrongly deported Salvadoran father living in Maryland was moved to a safe house after Donald Trump’s administration posted a court document that included her address on social media.

In an interview with The Washington Post, Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s wife Jennifer Vasquez Sura said she began fearing for her safety and the safety of her three children after the Department of Homeland Security shared a protective order from 2021 that prominently featured her address to the department’s 2.4 million followers on X.

“I don’t feel safe when the government posts my address, the house where my family lives, for everyone to see, especially when this case has gone viral and people have all sorts of opinions,” she told The Washington Post. “So, this is definitely a bit terrifying. I’m scared for my kids.”

Edit: nevermind. Turns out my email host is already running spamassassin and I can configure it how I wish.

My email is hosted at mxroute. I'm happy with their pricing and service and don't want to selfhost my email. However, their spam management isn't great.

I just realised that it might be possible to run spamassassin myself, which will set spam headers on the emails which my email client (thunderbird) can then use to decide what to do.

There seems to be a bunch of poorly maintained / abandoned ways in which to do this. I thought I'd ask here just in case any one else is doing this and can help me skip to the end.

I was hoping for a docker container (or compose stack) that provides an IMAP proxy and runs spamassassin.

Any ideas and insights welcome. My email juggling could use some improvement.
