That title needs some additional punctuation. Had to read it a few times!

I’ll keep saying this. The DNC and majority (not all) of the Democrats in congress are basically a controlled opposition for the rich. Look at their wealth and backgrounds and understand that they are not fighting for the working man either. Bernie and AOC are some of the good ones that do care but they’re far outweighed.

So one thing I tend to do when researching a product is search for “<model_name> specs” or “specifications”. I usually try to see if they have a marketing slick or one pager of what the item has to find it out. If worse comes to worse I’ll browse the user manual, if something is ambiguous but majority of the times that search will help me find what I need.

Also to anyone saying “well how can they deport a citizen when the other country won’t take them since they’re not one of their citizens?”

That’s the point…. They’ll stay locked up in internment camps because the US “is looking into their citizenship status” and they’ll stay there for an indefinite time.

Seeing 10M less Democrats vote when the Republican numbers were about the same was the biggest gut check I had. People would rather just not vote, than vote for a half black woman. That was really sad. And don’t anyone dare tell me it was about Gaza, that’s just a load of BS.

You’re missing his point because you want t trumpet your own. Let me flip the question around a bit

If they were to build for, and pay for the electrical capacity on their own dime, would you prefer them doing it with nuclear or coal?

Yeah the book is much darker and more in depth. It gets into topics around class divides and suicide. Which is why when I went to see the play it was so jarring to me.

And me, I’m still pissed at how much the play isn’t like the book. I would have loved to seen them adapt that.

Latinos down in the Texas valley (you know, right next to Mexico) swung hard for Trump. This will be interesting to see how it comes back to bite them.

I would just like to note that we’re on Lemmy, the land of 100 different opinions, and yet everyone has said the same thing about Scientology. That should be a huge flag there.

“Apple does not allow users to back up their data via third-party storage providers.” — don’t know if I agree with that statement. You can back it up locally via iTunes and then sync the folder with whatever provider you want. It’s not as easy but it’s certainly doable. I used to run that way for the longest time before I said fuck it and moved to iCloud.

Yup, like I said I know they have more than cleaning products but i always associate them with soap.

 

You always hear the phase “9 to 5” and also the song with the same name. Assuming you include 1 hour worth of breaks (30 minute lunch and two 15 minute breaks), you’re only working for 7 hours a day which comes up to 35 hours a week.

Now it feels like you have to work 8 hours a day (for a total of 40 hours of actual work), plus your other time off meaning you’re really there for 9 hours each day (for a total of 45 hours). Am i looking at that wrong, or did expected times change, and if so, when?

 

I know that recently Spotify requires a credentials.json file and not just a user name and password. I can’t seem to find a method though that works in creating that file. I’ve tried librespot and librespot-auth, both of which should expose themselves as a speaker on my network for Spotify to cast too but it doesn’t show up. I’ve tried them both in a WSL instance and compiled directly for Windows with no luck.

Is there another way I’m missing to generate those credentials? I have a valid account, so I know there’s not an issue there.

 

No pun intended

 

I’m curious if there’s a name to the belief I have. I wouldn’t exactly call it atheist, though i generally lean that way, but I wouldn’t call it non-theist. The thing is, I just plain don’t care if God exists or not. They could, or they couldn’t, it really has no bearing on how I live my life. For that reason along I think I go in the atheist camp, but I always thought that was used to describe people who don’t think he exists.

 

And not a monkey’s paw moment.

 

I have a CFL in the bathroom that went out on me. I’ve been too lazy to change it because there are other bulbs that are working. Well after a couple weeks, it magically decided to turn back on. It’s nowhere that it would be jostled or anything, so I found that weird.

 

In the US for example the standard is 110V for voltage and 80psi for water. In Europe, voltage is 220V, is water pressure different there too?

 

Let’s say I hit submit on a post or reply, and then immediately notice a typo and edit it. Or I accidentally mis-swipe and downvote and then change it to an upvote.

In both cases, do both actions immediately get posted to the feed, or does the Lemmy instance wait a minute and combine (or overwrite) the actions so that only a single action gets published?

 

Basically what the title says. There’s always discussions about someone being force sensitive and how they could use the force or not sensitive to it at all, but has anyone ever been completely immune to it? Like if Vader was doing a force choke and the person was just like “why are you holding your hand up like that? What are you trying to do?”
