That’s not idiots. That’s people that don’t make much money, hate their job, and saw an opportunity to leave with some change in their pocket while dumpster fire is just smouldering and not a full blown blaze yet.

Conservatives like to call the West Coast the left coast. It’s their little way of making fun of progressive states.

Trump would be okay with that because it’s still a fuck you to the left coast.

At least 2…

I actually stopped using mine a long time ago, and every time I get a new laptop, I remove it. Not because I hate it, but because I like it. Even after modifying the acceleration settings to where I like them though, the repeated stress of pushing on the nub eventually start to develop dendonitis in my finger.

After I’ve trained myself to only use the trackpad I put the nub back on. Partly because it’s so iconic it just looks wrong without it, and partly because I want to avoid conversations with guest about my growing clit graveyard (although I guess I could just not leave them in a cup on the coffee table where everyone can see)

Neither is solar or wind. But they’re all net-zero or near-zero carbon emissions when considering the entire lifestyle of the energy and machinery production.

“I’ll make him humble”.

Lol. So bad ass.

I don’t wanna live in a world without scented bath oils, cheese biscuits, and gmail!

If you think Sundar is bad, just wait to see who Wall Street picks to replace him.

Salt and pepper fighting.

There are tons of tons, believe it or not.

There’s the short ton (2000lbs), long ton (2240 lbs), and tonne (1000kgs) which are all measure weight. However there’s also the shipping/freight/ocean ton which is a measure of volume (which is also different in the US and UK), and the register ton.

However I did make a mistake. The wikipedia page I was reading said the weight in t and long tons. I made the mistake of assuming they meant short tons - in reality when measuring displacement for a ship, tonnes are used (which is pretty sensible, considering you’re displacing water and a liter of water to a kilogram of water have a pretty easy conversion formula formula…)

You think that’s crazy? The ship that blocked the Suez Canal, the Ever Given, has a ship displacement (how much water is displaced when it sits in the ocean) of 265,000 Tons.

That’s 240 million kilograms.

And that shit just floats on fucking water maaaaan…

Electing Trump (Nov 2016) the first time was the American equivalent of Brexit (June 2016).

Didn’t think I’d ever see Waleska on Lemmy… but, yeah. This is just the story all over North Georgia right? No one wanted to live in the mountains until all of the sudden you could work from anywhere. Now everyone earning city and suburb pay is happy to live an hour farther out than they were before.

Would be nice if he put his money where his mouth is. He’s 81 years old, but I bet he’s still gonna show up Tuesday.

Throughout his congressional campaign in 1974, Gingrich was having an affair with a young volunteer. An aide who worked with Gingrich throughout the 1970s stated that “it was common knowledge that Newt was involved with other women during his marriage to Jackie.”
…
In September 1980, according to friends who knew them both, Newt visited Jackie in the hospital the day after she had undergone surgery to treat her uterine cancer; once there, Newt began talking about the terms of their divorce, at which point Jackie threw him out of the room

In 1993, while still married to Marianne, Gingrich began an affair with House of Representatives staffer Callista Bisek, more than two decades his junior.[278] Gingrich was having this affair even as he led the impeachment of Bill Clinton for perjury related to Clinton’s own extramarital affair.[279][128] Gingrich filed for divorce from Marianne in 1999, a few months after she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

My stepmother was doing her undergrad (and a few years later her law degree) from the University of West Georgia when he was a professor of history there and had started his first congressional campaign. She said literally every woman in school was aware of his affairs with students.

Moral decay in 2024? This is just yet another year of accusations fueled by projection from the right.

We just say bingo…

“in space no one can hear you scream”

Boeing satellites: “AHHHHHH!!!”

Static IP on the windows machine in a jail’d subnet, if you still want to be able to access it from the LAN but don’t want it to have internet access.

If you’re happy with it not having any kind of network access (I’m not sure if when you say ‘locally’ you mean just physically, or it needs LAN as well), just disable the network adapter in windows.

I remember going over to a kid’s house that lived up the street from my cousin. He had Pilotwings on Super Nintendo like right after it released. And he had a big screen TV!

My god man, you would not believe how picture perfect those pixels the size of a finger tip were.
