It's a little late now that there's camps, sure. If people had refused harder to put up with shitty democrats in the past, like.. decades past.. then the dems would've lost to past republicans who weren't quite dictators.

In that alternate past where the dems actually lose for being center-right corporatists, they would've had to get some kind of spine or plan or... something.. earlier to protect our public news and education from authoratarian misinformation and maybe prevented this bullshit.

In this current world that we actually have though... I mean you saw we elected Biden, right? And you saw how much good that did -- right? We need somebody on our side with some teeth and rolling over for milquetoast donation collectors is not going to get it for us.

No these are modified. Last time I saw a vehicle like that it was a Mormon family out camping with their 17 kids

Edit: honestly if you’ve got a giant family and you’re basically a half a busload of people everyplace you go, that’s pretty much the ideal best use case for a private car.

Same with this picture — if somebody felt the need to pay $$$$$ for extending the truck, they’re probably actually using that space for something productive and not just driving it around empty. I’m way more mad about the incredible waste of every suburban individual having their own heavy duty cargo hauler for daily chores that don’t need it, then I am about modified special-purpose vehicles doing a job.

OP If you’re really going to do this (questionable imo) then you’d need to find some kind of list that gets updated automatically. Because if you just make fox and OAN suck he’s more likely to find some other, worse thing you never heard of.

But if you do do this behind his back and he notices, you can pretty much forget about him ever trusting you for anything again. Those are the stakes.

I mean, everybody in Canberra is from someplace else anyway so I wouldn’t expect any local special spelling for common words. Maybe I just got in with a pocket of queries weirdos 🤷

In Canberra I worked with a few people who confused me with their talk of draws.

This does not appear to be real, sadly. Search for “urobot” turns up nothing like it.

Though the fact that I had to check is disturbing for me

In Australia they just straight-up spell it that way

If we’re restricting the competition to craft beers and wood-fired pizza, Austin is not running at any competitive disadvantage. They will go hard.

If you want to open the field to, say, west coast fresh variety, with your Cambodian-Somali fusion cuisine and sushi etc, then you have to answer some difficult questions about barbecue as well.

I am ready for this competition.

Infinity is not usually considered as a number.

One can get very pedantic about this — if we want to fully specify the problem we need to define what number system X is a part of (reals, integers, natural numbers, etc) None of those number systems I named include infinity, so infinity can’t be a solution under those definitions of the problem.

But if we say X is an element of the super-reals (real + infinity) then infinity can be a solution

Say it however you want that works for your relationship.

What I meant to be saying there was — if nobody tells him his review comments aren’t helpful anymore, then he probably won’t know.

I’m speaking from the perspective of somebody who spends like 1/2 their time or more doing code reviews, if I’m wasting people's time I would want to know it

[–] CandleTiger@programming.dev 3 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

You need to tell him that. Seriously. Pick some especially bad example to point at, and come to him with, "Hey Bob, I used to get real value from your review comments. I could tell you were thinking about what to say and it helped me to produce better code. Now it seems I am mostly seeing LLM-generated junk like this one that doesn't help anybody. This isn't an improvement, can you go back to the more helpful way you used to do things?"

Not sure how to add multiple pictures to a Lemmy post. I have close-ups of the alternator housing and I think maybe the throttle body, melted 80% into the asphalt.

Contrary to my own misleading title, this picture was taken in Death Valley National Park up on top of a mountain where the air is crisp and cool.

 

I think I'm about to buy a Velotric T1 ST Plus which would be my first ebike.

The manual says to store it indoors at a temperature of 50°F to 77°F (10°C to 25°C). However the location I actually have to store it in is in an uninsulated shed that will probably reach 120ºF (50ºC) in the summer in baking sun, and below freezing in the winter.

Is this going to kill the bike or its battery?

 

I have a U.S. Sailing basic keelboat cert and a couple hundred hours’ experience day sailing 22’ Capri and dinghies in protected water.

With that level of experience, who will rent me a boat to noodle around in San Diego bay?

 

I have an off-grid setup with a few devices on a local network that is not connected to the internet. I can tell my iPhone to use the non-internet wireless LAN to talk to those devices, OR I can tell it to use cellular data to talk to the Internet, but there’s no config on the iPhone side to let them be both live at the same time.

Is there any magic config on a wireless router e.g. certain DHCP settings or just disable DHCP, that will let the iPhone route to static 10.x IPs on the WLAN while the cellular internet is still active?

Any “advanced network settings” on the iPhone to manage multiple NICs?

 

All traffic must turn left

 

So much aggressive off-road in so little space

 

I find after this election that I have an unexpectedly pressing need to wave large obnoxious flags from my sensible fuel-efficient subcompact while I drive.

Has anybody got models, templates, suggestions for how to mount a stout pole to a hatchback? I’m thinking of some kind of tube on a short arm that I could close the rear passenger door or the cargo door on to hold it in place.

 

I have some little black ants in my motorhome. I’m pretty sure I picked them up at my last stop in upstate New York but I’ve since driven far away from there. Wikipedia says little black ants nest in the soil so presumably I didn’t take their queen with me.

What’s going to happen to this group that hitched a ride? Are they likely to elect a new queen and go looking for a good nesting spot, or curl up and die, or what?
