I suggest you get off of Lemmy then. While there is some good things here, the echo chamber is even worse than the Trump one (which is saying a lot)

There are a lot who left the republican party to make that happen and they want back in. (maybe not the republican party, they are looking at other third parties, but the democrats are not doing anything to make this group welcome. There are also a lot who don't like Trump, but are hoping that if they stand a few years of him the Trump years will pass and they will bring the party back to what they want. Right now if you are a republican you have to at least give public lip service to Trump - this makes it hard to tell who really is for Trump and who is riding this wave out.

I have a 60% bluetooth keyboard that I'll use when I need to type on my phone. A pain to carry with me, but taking a whole laptop is sometimes even worse.

I have a battery disconnect on my truck because I rarely drive it and it would discharge the batteries (it didn't discharge the near as fast batteries until I put the trailer brake controller in so I know part of the cause). A trickle charger will help, but they have a tendency to declare a fault after a few days and stop charging: leaving you with a dead battery anyway. Still a trickle charger is a good idea as batteries don't like being discharged, just remember to check on it every few days. It is possible the draw is larger than the trickle charger can provide and that is why it doesn't work - I wouldn't know.

I have a JNC660 jump starter battery pack which I keep warm in the house. Others tell me this is the way to go (I just bought it so I can't say how it works). Some li-ion battery packs have a jump starter function - I have mixed results with them (It worked for me once, the next time I got a good crank but it cut out before the engine started).

Local news is dead. There are still local newspapers, but they are all just the same national and your state news with your neighborhood on the cover. Well they will publish the city and school board meeting notices, and the minutes, but nothing useful. ("after debated approved plan to X" - what where the points debated is never mentioned). No wonder such newspapers are dieing - they are not producing anything of value.

Go slow. measure 4 times. most rooms don't need a jack so put APs where it is easy to ge wires and that will feed the other rooms.

The first should be solved by a subscription so you don't feel like you need cash all the time. The second is incompetience - never allow more than one broken machine, if machines are not reliable find a better vender - in court you can end the contract early if they are not filling their end: making machines that work. (If this isn't in your contract sue your own lawyers for incompetence)

i agree teens shouldn't have to pay. Though I would put it in terms of they ride free on their parents subscription which helps get parents riding since they are paying for it.

there are also poor who need some sort of program as sell.

Then raise fares. This study makes it clear that more service is what people want. That fares are so low they are not bringing in money after collection costs is a sign they need to raise them.

almost no rider is asking for lower fares.

Better service benefits. Free transit benefits the car companies as it forces everyone to drive if they at all can.

Fare collection typically generates a subtantial amount of revenue and so you assumption that it doesn't fails.

for most people a fare such that busy routes are profitable is perfectly reasonable and they will pay.That makes your subsidy for less but routes that are still worth having (in part because they feed to the busy route which wouldn't be profitable without those riders).

as this study has found most people value service higher than the cost of a fare. Free fare advocates are killing the system by taking away a source of revenue that could instead be usedeto make the system better.

i'm all for helping the poor. Target just the poor with free fares. That lets you help the poor by giving them good service instead of service for the poor but 'normal' people drive*

Installed grocy on a server and magic mirror on a pi. Now we can track all the daily tasks of life which makes my wife happy

Burn it. Sure there are people that need to die but I don't want any risk anyone else gets access to this even at the expense of letting evil people live.

Static, hand coded html. You can be as pretty as you want to be. A good learning exercise and since it is all static it will be fast and won't have more security issues.

As a time traveler I expect to have knowledge of what readers exists. verbatim makes archival grade DVD, blu-ray, and CD media guaranteed to last 100 years. Put copies on a couple different time capsules and I'm good. However I don't have much confidence that media readers for any of this will exist. Even if I put a reader in the time capsule I'm not confident it will survive - the media will be good but the mechanics probably are lost to corrosion, so this is the most important part.

Does it really need to be all 100tb? Can I find a small subset that matters? We have history of payrus scrolls with the correct ink that have a proven history of lasting thousands of years when left in a desert garbage dump. You can find the recipe for making both the scrolls and the ink in the bible. Copy by hand, leave in the desert, in a location I know archeologists will dig in 100 years. This is very limited amounts of data that can be saved though.

If the above doesn't work, non-acid paper when laser printed (not inkjet!) should last plenty long. Again I don't think I can get anywhere near your 100tb, but I remain convinced everything we need can be archived on it.

That means you haven't make them large enough yet.

Good luck getting people to care, but it is in the end your best counter.

Long term boycottes are the best thing - IF you can get large numbers to follow. Large enough that management schools are forced to teach about how ever real reform won't be enough to save you from bad actions.

That is for individuals. Whichever side you are on. No alternative can exist without both creators and users in large enough numbers.

Asking which is first is a stupid question. Even if you could prove an answer it wouldn't change a thing.

I'm sorry I can't think of how to write that nicer.

I'll admit to not being very good about homework, but I didn't wait until the last minute when I did do it. I was an okay student at best. Doing more homework would have helped me more than anything else.

That question is likely illegal to ask. Only ask questions relevant to your job. Culture fit is will your form a book club together, it is can you work with this person and then go home. If you are regularly doing such social activities with everyone you work with outside of work hours you need to get a life. (it is okay to make friends with people you work with, but that isn't a goal.)

Learn the material not study for the exam. That means do the homework. That means attend the lectures. That means read the textbooks. Preferably do all of the above on different days. The key is to see the same material (in different contexts) many times before the exam. The day before the example you do a quick review and that is enough.
