I always chug a beer/soda, open the top of the can using a can opener, and pour the grease into that.

NOTE: make sure all the liquid is out of the bottom of the can (maybe wipe it down with a towel) or else the grease may shoot back out

Here's some quotes from this CNN article:

The breakdown was caused by failures in the copper wiring that transmits information from Long Island to Philadelphia, a source told CNN.

“What we use today is copper wires. We are one of the last institutions, last businesses, that actually use copper wires,” Duffy told reporters Thursday.

“We should be using fiber, but it’s copper. We use radar from the 1970s, some of them are from the 80s… So this technology is 50 years old that our controller has used to scan the skies and keep airplanes separated from one another.”

Some controllers still use floppy disks to upload data onto computers that date to the early 1990s, according to experts.

Dammit! Lol

As an FYI, (In the United States) all modern cars will have to have some kind of screen (whether built in the mirror, on the dash, or as part of the gauge system) as all cars are required to have backup cameras as of 2018.

Starting in 2029 all cars will be required to have automatic braking technology as well.

We're never going to be able to purchase new cars that are completely dumbed down ever again, but with how many lives it will save I'd say it's worth it.

I'm glad that there are some companies that are willing to offer cars with the bare minimum of features at least. I personally would prefer having automatic windows over crank, but if someone wants to save money more power(har har) to them!

EDIT: weather vs whether Braking vs breaking

Samsung Galaxy Xcover 6pro has been pretty good for me. It has a headphone jack, SD card slot, and a removable battery. The specs aren't the top of the line, but as long as I'm not playing games on my phone it gets the job done.

Isn't this referencing some UFC fighter or something?

Ironically, the stock Lemmy UI does not, er at least it doesn't for divisions by zero. Using Tesseract, I don't visually see a difference between read and non-read posts, but if I hide read posts it clears out my feed, so it is definitely keeping track.

Well hot damn, works for me as well between Alexandrite and Sync for Lemmy!

At this point I just wish there was a way to change the color of read links vs. non read in Alexandrite. Maybe my eyes/monitor aren't good, but it can be hard to tell.

according to the Contributing.md on the github it is missing some files that are included if you buy a copy of the game:

The BarotraumaShared/Content folder, which contains Barotrauma's art, item XMLs, sounds, and other assets, is not included in the GitHub repository. If you have a legal copy of the game, you can copy the Content folder from the game's files to BarotraumaShared/Content.

Yeah, according to the Contributing.md on the github it is missing some files that are included if you buy a copy of the game:

I know we are all on here because we dislike the kind of algorithms that tik tok, Instagram, and Facebook have, but that is exactly the thing my wife was looking for. When I had her download pixelfed and loops she was like ' I have to search out content and manually follow people like I did with Facebook back in the day?' and she uninstalled.

Algorithms can be addictive and evil, but for some people that's what they're looking for.

TBH it was pretty barebones, but I did enjoy seeing some of my worlds in stereoscopic 3D. It also scares me for the future of VR (minecraft is a REALLY popular game. If it is dropping VR does that mean adoption isn't going that well?).

Also, this is specifically regarding Bedrock minecraft. Java has never officially supported it, but there are mods that add the functionality.

I haven't played it on steam deck, but it might be a little hard. It requires a little precision aiming, so you could maybe pull it off with the trackpad, but I struggle with mouse as it is. If they added some console-like auto aim it would be a phenomenal controller game.

Looking rough to start

Well, that's not good

I was completely unaware this was coming out. I'm curious to see what NMRIH die hards think of it before I buy/download it.

Oooh, this is a great idea! I'm bald AF now so might be a great way to capitalize on that

This was a real ad apparently. Snopes Article

Here's a video of it in action

I would definitely get some ideas from the Internet, but verify them with a vet afterwards. If you feel like your current vets advice isn't working don't be afraid to get a second opinion from a different vet (it's what I would do with a human doctor as well).

Regardless of truck size, I don't think tractor trailers are going anywhere. Even if we made trucks smaller those would still be out there

Smaller trucks would still get in accidents though, and I imagine they would be less deadly
