  • No, the Teletubbies are the Eloi from The Time Machine. They are simple creatures that can't possibly understand the technology they use, so they don't make it or maintain it.

    They freak out and go to bed when the sun goes down. Probably because the Morlocks are coming.

    The world is far too technologically advanced for it to be Hobbits. The Hobbits are specially written to be essentially self sufficient and don't desire anything more advanced than beer (and magic fireworks.)

  • That's probably too much warping for humidity. The hinges are probably pulling that side of the door lower.

    Do you own this property? If so, I would pull the trim off completely, rehang the door properly, with longer screws through the hinges to hold them up to the framing, and then put the trim back on.

    If you rent, call your landlord to do the above.

  • They also hate when people donate "supplies" which is usually 30+ year old torn up camping equipment, and old clothes that should have been thrown out.

    Just donate money and get out of the way.

    If you really want to be a help, donate time before disasters happen so you're trained up for when they do. Starting to gather supplies and training during a disaster is far far too late.

  • It CAN be time based, but there's also a "hot" and an "active" sorting. Both of which are "algorithms".

    It's a lot more simple of an algorithm, and doesn't intentionally push specific topics, but if you open https://lemmy.world/ anonymously, you'll see a default "All/Active" feed which is sorted by engagement.

  • It's business hours Tue-Fri. Sounds like the volunteer isn't for unpaid work, but for volunteering to do this instead of their normal duties for the week.

    Tho I'm sure they'll get dinged on their performance review if their regular work output reduces, so I'm guessing they will end up needing to put on unpaid hours to compensate.

  • McDonald's STILL has newspapers sitting in a rack next to the counter where I am. Growing up these places had magazines and newspapers available to read. People "back then" didn't just randomly talk to strangers, they just kept themselves busy with other things.

    Yes, there's a problem with people not interacting physically anymore, but it's not cause we have electronics, it's cause people don't have a place to go outside the home anymore. This is a problem with a lack of community centers and walk-able neighborhoods, not a problem with phones.

  • With how much he loves the letter, I'm shocked he didn't call it the X party.

    I hear he loves history too, so maybe the History X party. I guess he should include the America part so people know which side he's on.

    The "American History X" party sounds about right for him.

  • I develop infrastructure automation for one of the world's largest private computer clusters.

    I do it almost exclusively in Vim with command line git.

    I'm the most productive member of my team.

  • At a certain point you're responsible for a person, and not hosting a mass of cells. If the fetus is viable, then abortion is essentially the same as delivery, and you're looking at adoption instead of abortion.

    I'm sure there's edge cases that I'm not thinking of, and I'm perfectly willing to admit I'm wrong, but it seems to me that if the fetus is viable, then there's not much difference between a human that's inside the body or outside.

  • Abortion legal until viability should be the standard everywhere. That being said, the line is still a little blurry, as your local resources may be able to manage an earlier term pregnancy than one in another area.

    Curious how the wording defines that date.

  • New guy at work ran this to try to fix permissions on his home folder, accidentally ran it on root (both would have been bad)

    Several highly paid and experienced Linux admins finally just gave up and deleted the server and built a new one from the backups.
