Because Republican leadership doesn't actually want to reduce immigration--they just want to keep immigrant labor cheap for the businesses that rely on it.

It literally sounds like a DDoS!

Gotta get every last molecule of sugar out of that stick!

Honestly, the only people using these will be the rich wannabe-redneck republicans who like to post their gun collections on instagram. It's an opportunity to virtue signal your gun fetish and nothing else.

Vending machines are great for when you need a small amount of something on the spur of the moment--but kinda worthless for something like bullets (presumably, if you're planning ahead to have a gun on you, you would also have thought to stuff a few rounds in your pocket at least) When they start selling actual guns, then I'll be worried.

Yeah, this is it.

And to take a slightly different tack, if the biochemical and electrical activity in your brain were not deterministic, how would you ever know? It's one thing to believe that you made a decision on your own "Free Will", but how could you possibly rewind the entire universe (or at least some sufficiently small portion of it), including your brain's exact atomic state, and re-run the experiment to know for sure? At that point, what would "Free Will" even mean?

Snow is a great example. As a kid, snow was freedom from school, a sculpting medium, a sledding surface, a new landscape to explore...

As an adult, it mostly means tangled commutes and manual labor.

Granted, a gentle snowstorm can be pretty nice when you don't have work the next day, but it doesn't have the same magic it did.

"Trolling is a art" is an ancient meme. Kind of the internet equivalent of a Dad joke, which makes the downvotes pretty funny, given the comment I was replying to!

trolling at that time was an a art form

For a quick and dirty clean room run the shower really hot for a few minutes to make a bunch of steam and then wait for the humidity to naturally equalize, boom you got a few minutes to do your swap job.

I've never heard of this... what's the idea behind it? That you get the RH near 100%, and any dust particles will be a nucleation point for water to condense on, causing them to literally rain out of the air?

It's especially hacky since that thing looks much closer to the size of a banana than a pineapple anyways!

For me personally, pepperoni better nails the sweet/spicy/savory trifecta a little better than ham, but it's very much in the same ballpark.

Europeans literally see no irony in throwing shade at Americans for hanging onto their traditional measurement system, while also speaking 27 different languages in the span of a few hundred miles.

Maybe come down off your high horse until you get that situation sorted, eh? >.>

Edit: Oops, I thought it would be safe to make a joke a in a meme thread.

She was a fax machine she kept her modem clean.

That's a legit start to a Weird Al song right there!

No Internet meant 1st person in line had a real chance to get front row seats Tickets were 30.00 maybe…I paid 40 to see van Halen with Alice in Chains open

I get this probably wasn't your main intent, but no internet also meant that if you didn't live in a large-ish city with physical access to those tickets, you either took hours/days out of your life or were just SOL.

Internet ticket sales aren't really the problem, it's automated and sanctioned/coordinated scalping for resale. (To be fair, that is largely enabled by internet sales...) There's certainly no technical reason all tickets to a popular show couldn't be sold at the same price and/or to those who had virtually queued up. It's just those aspects that make a better fan experience are generally directly opposed to making the most money.

My bones heart

I do find it interesting/funny that Google felt the need to actually provide this, as a sort of acknowledgement that their main search "results" page is so full of random info boxes and generated content that people can't find actual links anymore.

Personally, and In principle at least, this makes sense. About half of my web searches are looking for a quick answer to a question (what's the per pound cook time for a frozen turkey?), so having that answer highlighted and summarized alongside the source is very useful. It's actually the minority of the time that what I really want is a link to an external resource.

The effectiveness of that implementation and the accuracy of the summarized info is a whole other topic...

It's honestly kinda wild how many comments here are in favor of cops kicking down doors to enforce this law.

I know, I know, Lemmy isn't a singular person. But it's rare to see the anti-gun crowd advocating for aggressive police action--apparently it's okay just because they are gun owners?

I absolutely believe we'd be better off with less guns floating around this country, but that necessarily is going to be a slow generational shift unless you're advocating for violent standoffs between well-armed citizens and an even more well-armed state.

My Minnesota homes know what's up

On the power disable feature topic, I've only bought a few used enterprise drives from Goharddrive.com and Serverpartsdeals.com, but they both included a handy little SATA power adapter with each drive for exactly that reason.

The first desktop I installed them in worked just fine with the factory PSU cables, but when I upgraded I was left scratching my head for a few minutes until I remembered those adapters!

To be fair, this post is pretty much the epitome of mildly infuriating.
