I don’t see it mentioned, so maybe it’s not a popular thing, but the ability to tag a post. Often time this can be annoying, but it can help in filtering posts in certain types of communities.

It really is. One of the reasons, anyway.

Auburn checking in. We also suck.

War Eagle!

Me either.

Just read a good article today about FEMA response. They said all response starts at the local level. At some level, there might be a FEMA rep involved, but the local or state leaders have to request the help. Even then, FEMA doesn’t run the show. It’s run by the state and local people with FEMA assisting to provide needed resources and guidance. Unfortunately, I can’t remember where I read the article.

IIRC, the camps of those days were after the fact for people who had lost their homes riding out the storms.

Yeah, same. I’ve always considered the “Apple tax” part of the price you pay for them not rampantly monetizing your data like their competitors do. I’m not saying Apple is perfect or anything, but I’m slightly more comfortable paying for their services than Google, MS, or Amazon. I also agree that they’ve lost a lot of the “flair” since Jobs and Ive died/left (Apple Orchard would’ve been a much better name, esp. considering what the Valley was before tech took over), but that was inevitable.

That said, when I find out different, I’m gone.

Yeah, this is an asklemmy post. Doubt I’d put it in a Tesla sub, if one exists (don’t care to look).

Seems like a really good time for Airbus or Bombardier to open up a plant in the PNW!

This is just like all those times Republican candidates hedged about Roe v Wade… right up until they finally got it overturned. Sure, the majority of voters agree the EC is outdated and needs to go; but saying as much can scare moderates, and doesn’t get you any new liberal voters. Never forget, “undecided” voters in the US are just fickle assholes who don’t want to vote for someone who “feels” too conservative or liberal. Unfortunately, with FPTP voting, they carry a lot of weight.

You’re ignoring the obvious inherent danger of the act as a baseline. Hiking, while not not dangerous, is significantly less dangerous than free climbing. But what if more people die hiking than free climbing? There you’re getting into per capita statistics. Significantly more people hike than free climb. Plus, there are widely varying difficulties (read: danger levels) in different hiking trails. Plus there are hikers that eschew trails altogether!

So yeah. Sorry but unless you’re 8, or thereabouts, this is a pretty dumb take.

I don’t know that I agree with the analogies, but they made me laugh!

A couple of things to understand about professional sex workers:

First, they are professionals. They understand that people need something from them that they don’t get in the world. Their job is to find a way to provide that, within reason. Many are quite good at it. You’d be surprised.

Second, there’s a reason it’s known as the world’s oldest profession. I remember an old joke about a guy ranting about the moral sin of masturbation, and someone saying, “Let he among you with a free hand cast the first stone!” Seriously, it’s an industry that’s survived wars, famine, depressions, and everything in between. It’s always had plenty of customers in the worst of times. There’s no shame.

Finally, you want to identify whether you’re asking about a sex act or making love. Physically, they’re very similar, but emotionally they couldn’t be more different. If all you want to feel is the act, go to a decent escort or buy a flesh-light. If you want the emotional attachment, that takes some work. The good news is if you find it, the awkwardness of the sex act won’t matter. It will be overshadowed by your feelings for one another.

I don’t. I usually search for, e.g., nmcli bridge setup

Handy primer, but also out of date, especially for RHEL and RHEL-adjacent. For one thing, they’re all in on NetworkManager. The commands outlined in the article aren’t permanent, and it doesn’t go over ways to make them permanent. Secondly, teaming is deprecated by RH since the guy who maintained the driver quit.

… And you won’t know unless you try. It’s not etched in stone or anything. It takes 5 minutes to set up and account, and about the same to delete one. Pick an instance, sign up and use it for a day or so, then make a decision. Not that hard.

It is the world’s wealthiest third world country.

In their districts, they have the right letter next to their names on the ballot. Also, the “own the libtards.”

Alabama’s worried that might flip blue!? That really is some paranoid paranoia!

Towels and sheets weekly. Comforter and mattress topper alternating weeks.

I used to get them confused until a visit to Luray Cavern. The tour guide explained that one “held ‘tite’ to the ceiling while the other just ‘mite’ reach it.”
