In similar news, does anyone have a good replacement to Stitcher? Only a few days left and I'm really upset. First RiF now Stitcher. It's been a bad summer.

Came here to link this. Your doing good work.

Was sworn in by Thomas at the home of Harlan Crowe.

How is that ok? How did this Crowe stuff just come out if they were using his house to swear in judges. Maybe I'm wrong but, that just seems really off.

I was just talking to my father last week about this exact thing. He built his house about 10 years ago and bought the land close to 30 years ago. He was a steel worker so not terrible pay but nothing amazing. That house today would be well over 1mil. No way he could have built it today. And we live pretty close to the middle of nowhere, Indiana. I pray I can buy my brother out one day, at this rate it's the only chance I have of owning a nice house. Even with a STEM degree I'm looking at maybe 70k salary right now. Which I thought would be awesome when I started college but now that I graduated, I feel like anything under 6 figures will be hard to live a middle class life on. I guess I'm lucky I spent my 20s broke and homeless, I have learned to really stretch a dollar.

I live about 45min outside of a major city. I'm also looking for my first career type job. We do have a train that goes into the city which my mother has taken for many years. The only way I'd be ok commuting in would be if I can take the train or a bus. Thinking of spending an extra 10hrs+ driving each week sounds so terrible. That's 25% more hours each week that I don't get paid and instead have to pay money. The only other way would be a hybrid schedule with only 2 days commuting per week.

I actually get kind of excited to commute by train, I used to not have a car up in the twin cities and I read so much more having to take public transit. I would totally get a steam deck or ROG ally and finally get to play Hades and Hollow Knight.

There are downsides though. Like if you want to go by the store or a friend's on the way home you probably can't. Also if you just miss your train, you might be waiting a long while. Lastly our train here is fairly dangerous and the nearest stop is in one of the most dangerous cities in the US.

I wish biking was easier but where I live there is no way I could get into the city. Plus I used to bike to my first job, about 5 miles, and it sucks to get there and be sweaty. Guess with e bikes now that isn't as big of a deal.

My 14 year old account is dead and hasn't been logged into since the api day. I do still lurk on politics and one other sub, but I use RiF to do it.

On reddit I was banned for suggesting it would be better to force change now than wait until things are even worse.

Test

I recently added Metamucil and lentils to my diet. I also eat oatmeal every day and, like you, binge veggies. The first week was bad and I did nearly shit myself on a run the other day but things seemed to have calmed down now. I am super gassy all the time though. They stinky.

I use Dewalt since it was gifted, I like then a lot so far.

Torque test channel is a goldmine of information if looking to buy.

Your not wrong, the led on the arduino is super bright. I think you can reflash to not have it turn on though.

I haven't looked at Mastodon at all yet so I don't really know how it works, but from what I have gathered, it is not dissimilar from lemmy but for microblogs. I suppose the main similarity is its distributed network which I agree is a better solution than a centralized server. Hopefully that statement ages well.

Heck i couldn't easily check if diablo 4 servers were wonky because I can't check the blizzard Twitter. Obviously this is less important than an amber alert. As another reply said, I think police need a better way to disseminate emergency information and that is on them. However something like server status is a perfect use of Twitter that is now close enough to impossible to do. If public agencies are going to continue using Twitter for these purposes, then something needs to change. Personally I'd be ok with the government having a little more say in things if we are going to continue viewing Twitter as a public service.

Strong /r/ultralightjerk vibes. I approve.

I suppose this is a good place for my first post. I'm happy to be here. This has saved me from the withdrawals of losing reddit. I hope we can make this an active community.
