  • Trebuchets are just medieval siege artillery from the trebuch region of France, everything else are just sparkling catapults.

  • Last time they did a Goya ad on the resolute desk... I just dont know whats going on anymore...

  • IT work is feast or famine.

    "IT people, your not doing anything, what the hell do we pay you for?"

    "IT people, everything is on fire, what the hell do we pay you for?"

  • Looks like the CA Govinator race is going to be interesting this year.

    (I do realize that Arnold doesn't have the job anymore, but the title of Govinator is too good to not continue using)

  • We dont, but we will be watching for scabs that vote for it anyway.

  • When you stare into the void...

    And the void bleb's back.

  • Props for Koyaanisqatsi

    I too like subjecting my neighbors to hours of Philip Glass albums.

  • Having read that book, you may technically be correct (Inferno is hillarious, Dante was a mad lad for writing that when he did) The big guy down stairs is munching on Judas (betrayed big J), Brutus and Cassius (betrayed Caesar, did we mention Dante was very Italian). Traitors of lesser degrees are frozen under the lake at the center of Dis.

    It would be poetic for a modern telling of Inferno to include 47 there, given current events, he may even be lunch.

  • My problem is that the logical place is in the same logical place as all my other useful things.

    So the stack of useful things only grows until its a pile and now no longer useful. Good news is everything is right where I left it... In the pile.

  • To your first point, there is a high likelyhood that the GOP will defund the programs the Dems want to keep anyway, or they will get DOGEd after the fact.

    They can not expect promises to maintain social safety nets to be kept, so why bother trying to work with the right, let them get a taste of their own obstructionist excriment.

  • You would think after his last time in the news cycle I would stop reading his name as Michael Bolton... Apparently not...

  • Because your logic is flawed coming to that question. It insinuates that one is needed over the other. This is not a fair comparison because toothpaste and fluoride suppliments are purchased and flouridated tap water costs almost nothing to consumers of municipal water. All sources must be taken into account for public health programs like this.

  • Because adding fluoride to tap water provides measurable benifits regardless of socioeconomic status.

    In addition, other countries where municpal water is not as developed, they will add fluoride to salts and other consumer products.

  • Radagast was the stoner wizard, why cant people get their names right?

  • Hiding your badges while not on work property is a physical security practice. If an attacker were to be trying to scan for RFID or NFC tags in an area they would usually only get the data from the badge, not the image/ID printed on the surface.

    In this instance I think your right, it seems like its more likely doing more of that illegal DOGE shit, not some sophisticated attacker.

  • Innocent until proven guilty. (Lets fix this, keep reminding people of that)

    The Adjuster has entered the chat.

  • I did not expect this much detail on this topic. There were discussions about detergents and such in another thread. And the logic is exactly the same.

    Dont ship water.

    (This needs to go in a Lemmy hall of fame)

  • Its all marketing, the powder v liquid is a fair consumer product debate (the different formats allow for different chemistry, but by weight/price, powerd is most efficent), but the pods for dish and clothes washers are meant to be as inefficent of a storage method as possible to get you to buy more product.

    The youtube channel Technology Connections has several hours of midwestern rants about how bad pods are.

  • We get it (and deserve it), but your preaching to the choir. The US residents of Lemmy are usually either socially active net-izens who are very aware of, and trying to act against of the shitshow unfolding in what ways they can, or fringe groups (see the tankie instances) who have been thrown off of enough mainstream platforms that they had to go make their own.

    Once todays vent session is done, we should focus on keeping constructive posts visible and discussed. (Stuff individuals or small groups can do to help our firends on the other side of the pond and ideas to try and course correct shit stateside)

    Im just trying to not be too pesimistic...
