  • Tomorrow (November 5th) is Election Day. Go vote. And get informed and vote in every election, local, State, and Federal thereafter. If you don’t, this will continue to happen. The States have this power only because we, the citizens of those States gave it to them, or worse yet, said nothing as they took it for themselves.

    If you don’t vote, then don’t go complaining later if the result isn’t what you want.

  • So if he's taking full accountability, who's the new CEO of Dropbox? /s
    Dumbass.

    More and more I'm appreciating my decision to selfhost Nextcloud when I decided to start moving away from Google. All nonsense like this affects for me personally (should Dropbox crash and burn) is some redundant backups.

  • Off-hand? Algorithm driven social media, “news” media generally, politicians, family/kids. The last is at least usually tolerable, or at least correctable. The rest should be taken only in moderation with a mound full of salt.

  • Check the data sheet or user manual for your equipment or battery, but generally batteries should be stored indoors at a human comfortable temp and humidity.

    Here’s the manual for mine, but yours may differ:

    Ryobi really needs a better URL for their manuals to be stored at. If the direct link to the file sketches you out, for the moment at least this, this link will lead to the same file:

  • This may be the only attack ad I've ever seen that hasn't left me with a foul taste in my mouth. No name calling, no fear mongering or sabre rattling. Just a supportive campaign ad delivered to the wrong audience, pointing out things that that audience would likely find very offensive. Whoever thought this up needs a pay raise. But why the hell do they have to be working with Trump's campaign?

  • I generally don’t worry about communities. Either the community is well run or not.

    Users, though. I’ll block trolls all day long. If I notice I’m blocking a whole bunch of users from the same instance, I’ll block the instance. So far that has only happened twice. Lemmygrad and feddit.ro.

  • I know the feeling. Most of those features are only useful in low probability events.

    If you’re looking for simple flashlights, Maglight has always made decent flashlights, though I’ve been buying Ryobi flashlights for the last 15 years as they are relatively affordable and I’ve already a bunch of their 18v batteries. Not sure how weather proof they are but I’ve never had an issue with the “new” (I think it’s a 10 year old design) led flashlights.

  • In my profession (trucking) the only thing that matters is preventable/nonpreventable. Liability is something for the insurance company to worry about (mostly).

    This might be an interesting topic to suggest to Mike Rafi or Legal Eagle though.

  • I know it’s a joke question but here’s a serious answer:

    I would treat it same as any other aircraft landing on the roadway. Give them space to do their thing because objects of greater potential energy ALWAYS have right of way, regardless of what liability laws say. Can’t sue ‘em if you’re dead.

    As for laws, a quick search didn’t find anything in Federal or Alabama law about it except that the FAA here in the US says pilots consider it only as a last resort option due to safety concerns. If figure it’s probably not a common enough occurrence for laws to be made about it. Other states or counties may have something about it though.

  • Pretty much any "trade" job will have what you're looking for. Most have good unions.

    Probably the only trade that is the exception to that would be the trucking industry. This is where I am.

    Decent pay, relatively easy to enter, but it's a lifestyle, not so much a job and the Teamsters (the main trucking union) and I very much don't get along. That is an understatement due to community and instance guidelines. We've had... words.

  • I suspect the fact that I had to think a minute before I could name a recently released western cartoon that wasn't Disney or aimed at the under 6 crowd may have something to do with it.

    Sadly Saturday Morning cartoons just aren't a thing anymore in the US.

    As for comics, when was the last time you saw a comic at a grocery store or gas station? I know Marvel still makes comics but I haven't seen them in a store in almost 30 years.

    Japan likes their anime and manga so there's a lot of variety, but for whatever reason our corporate overlords here in America decided that we didn't want our equivalent anymore.
