For exactly the reason that one person is doing it. There’s not really a thing but one interesting character is mildly entertaining while not impeding readability or require learning historical lettering

Thank you. Infinite pagers are such poor usability, just all around annoying. I really don’t understand why people want them unless it’s developers saying “this is cool”

This is really not inevitable, and policy is a huge part of it. I do believe Biden is a poor example here, because that approach to rebuilding manufacturing was to actually invest in it. Especially investing in forward looking technologies. Especially trying to establish longer term consistent policies, especially trying to connect with reality and science

Trying to force a return to “the good old days”, starting trade wars with every one, terrorizing large segments of workers, flip flopping policies for personal gain, isolationism, trying to protect old technologies/manufacturers from competition will never work. This is hugely more self-destructive than hands off

That’s great

Let them. How is this not huge free publicity!

I don’t see why condom companies aren’t shipping in truckloads for free. You can’t beat that kind of publicity. L

Anyone try Rancher? Is that still a thing? When I looked into k8s a few years back, Ranchers was highly recommended to simplify managing k8s if you couldn’t automate. Supposedly friendly and free.

Wow, that’s any tough question that probably you’re the best to answer over random lemmings.

But I’ll play. My thoughts as someone who has never been limited like that are …… its the preparation more than the cooking

• electric can opener if you don’t already. My first thought is how do you open those cans one handed.
• rice cooker is dump in two ingredients and forget it until dinner. It’s like 15 minutes so you can be making the rest of dinner in the meanwhile
• knives are tough. Someone suggested a mandolin but mine is clearly two handed operation. Perhaps one of those larger ones built into a bowl? I guess you want something that is secure in the counter
• mini food processor/chopper. I always found the full sized ones Overly complex for most tasks, but the mini ones are great. Single button, parts go in the dishwasher.
• one skillet meals. They seem easier to me, but even if not, your selection of meals is probably important. Internet can help with recipes if you can think of a search term
• mini potatoes. I can’t stand instant potatoes, but can understand it’s a hassle to peel and cut. Mini potatoes, or generally cooking baked potatoes, are great with less prep work
• my far out thought of the day: glass top stoves suck. I transitioned from gas to induction last year, and it’s nicer in several ways. But now I can’t stir or mix without holding the pan to keep it from sliding around

This sort of anecdote is important, because it’s too easy to claim that working for your family is an exception, or that kids should be able to help out with the family business.

These do annoy me. Of course Newsom is not the best candidate but they are distracting everyone from how much better that would be than the current shitshow

And I have to ask y’all, are we really going to an insists on an ideal candidate regardless whether they are electable?

I have no idea whether Newsom is but he has name recognition, presidential presence, and a successful “populist” strategy. He has successfully positioned himself as a leading foil of Trump. All that stuff that seem necessary for getting elected even if they have no part in whether they would do well for their constituents. …. And they’re building a train!

I do always wonder if this is just republicans trying to astroturf “both sides the same”.

There’s an argument that most of the stuff done in trumps name would be “ok” if he did it legally and that’s what people wanted. It’s the abuse of authority, the personal enrichment, violating the constitution, holding people above the law, enforcing personal feelings, violating checks and balances that are the critical issues.

I wouldn’t want to live in such a society but it would at least be “legitimate”

A few years back the Boston globe did an expose on panhandlers and yeah, there are scammers and you need to recognize them but most people in need are truly people in need.

My take on it was that aggressive panhandlers in prime locations (major tourist spots, intersections with chronic backups) are most likely scammers. People sitting quietly looking defeated are in need. The hard part is deciding whether/how to help all those in between, but it’s good to remember that most people who look homeless are homeless

Then there’s that weird guy who approached to talk about his knife, probably to try to steal my dog while technically not threatening - I so regret not calling police

And move your car once in a while, or otherwise make it look like someone is paying attention to it.

I had a car stolen: ten year old cheap econobox, over 100k miles, nothing in the car. I suppose it could have been an impulse, or it could have been that I had to move the car for street cleaning, left it in a bad spot (unlighted, no foot traffic, under a bridge) and left it there so I wouldn’t have to move it again for next street cleaning - the perils of living in a city and going mostly car free but not entirely giving up your car. Anyhow, I came back a week later and it was gone

Police were useless but offered the opinion that stripped parts for a ten year old econobox were valuable

Not at all, that’s tons of time.

That was a nest and I don’t know about them, but for Ring they store snippets activated by motion or ringing the bell. Once you’re only saving snippets, 4-6 hours video could be weeks

Ring can also save snapshots, at regular intervals, but that’s a still photo taking much less storage.

They’re pointing out that HomeKit cameras are specifically end to end encrypted and claimed inaccessible. Apple has really been pushing online privacy as a feature

You can get a camera from anywhere and either use it locally only or implement your own encryption before saving to a cloud resource if you can get one with any expectation of privacy. But you have to do all the work and it is never end to end encrypted

Right, that’s what these crazies always forget - register to vote is where your eligibility to vote should be verified, and there are ways to do that without suppressing votes

Interesting, apparently it’s only since 1996 that non-citizens voting became a crime, and that only applies to federal elections …. Then there’s whatever citizenship law Kansas tried to pass was ruled unconstitutional

Historically people in his situation were treated like human beings and immigration enforcement of a contributing member of society was civil, compassionate, and had due process routes to legality or at least to transitioning your life without hardship

So this guy was not committing a crime assuming he registered to vote more than 30 years ago, the state failed in their duty to check eligibility, and he might still be able to legitimately vote for himself

Those are huge infrastructure projects that take many years. They won’t get finished until he’s out of office or finally transfers to the afterlife. “sure, we’ll put your name on it … when we’re done”

Definitely one of several reasons I’ve stayed away from the apps is to maintain self esteem. I’m not sure how well I’d handle rejection on a massive scale

I’ve definitely got to do something about hobbies and interest groups. It always seems like the most organic way to get to know someone with similar interests …… but my actual approach tends to be “… at home” or “…. By myself”, and even at meetups I don’t do well at socializing
