Shit. I didn't read your comment as a joke initially and almost had a mini-rant about how we know if a server 3 provinces away is down for 5 minutes and go into a red alert.

That was dumb of me. Carry on.

Pretty piss-poor "24 hr. service" from OVH. We're an MSP and will make sure to steer clear of them for future projects.

Glad to see everything back however!

Man, I love Spider-Man, but this looks super rough. The jokes are horrendous.

Just FYI, as per their own terms you can cancel up until it ships.

This is a damn good question that I would also love an answer to!

Not great. Sort of lost my will to post after a bunch of experiments over at !actual_discussion@lemmy.ca

If I post pure questions in the weekly thread, generally one or two people respond. Political or not, it doesn't seem to matter.

If I post questions with some opinion added, people respond more frequently to those (even if I do not believe the opinion), but we get scads of aggressive comments and downvotes which buries the thread quickly.

To top that off, if I respond in other threads in Lemmy, I get people digging up the weekly threads (or responses therein) and trying to use those as ammunition against me. It's super disheartening.

Hispanics have a very high population of religious voters and many of them don't believe in abortion. For many religious people, even if they disagree handily with everything else the Republican party does, they will not vote Democrat because of the abortion issue.

There was a pretty large research study and a bunch of podcasts on it.

Grabbed the podcast! More detail never hurts. Much appreciated.

usufruct

So... reading the Wikipedia article on it for more info, it doesn't seem to place any limits on what you can own. It simply lets you makes allowances for others to use something of yours. It doesn't seem to mention forfeiting unused property in the least.

It's basically just being a landlord, but with other stuff, no? I'm not following how this isn't corruptible unless there's something I'm missing.

Me too. It's faster than texting and gives you a whole lot of missing context.

I read up on it, but I'm not sure how that's immune to greed. Are you able to explain?
