I’ve never eaten a Pop Tart

I’m inclined to believe this post, claiming this article is BS https://mastodon.social/@jplebreton/112825798853315264

This is today’s version of Industrial Musicals. In the 1950s-1970s, corporations would commission entire musical theater productions as propaganda/hype material for their conventions.

Twenty Thousand Hertz did a great episode about it, and there’s a documentary about them as well (trailer).

Have you heard about Project 2025? This is what’s so scary about Trump that isn’t true about Biden. In 2017, Trump was the dog who caught the car, but in 2025 he will come in with a plan and allies helping him move as fast as possible to unravel environmental protections, public school funding, consumer protections, scientific research, and increase the amount of right-wing Christianity in the US government as much as they can. And that just what there is skimming the Wikipedia article. In 2017 Trump started his term with some clumsy executive orders, many of which were immediately enjoined/overturned - in 2025 he will come in with prewritten executive orders with a much stronger legal standing that will be much more effective.

Trump put polarizing figures in his cabinet in “acting” roles because he couldn’t get them through the Senate (like Betsy DeVos who screwed over thousands of student loan borrowers and worked to take money out of public schools). He’ll do that again.

And while I agree there’s some things I’d like Biden to do that he isn’t, he and Trump aren’t remotely equivalent. Biden has gotten a huge amount of legislation passed for climate action, he’s forgiven student loans for 10s of thousands of people (many of whom were promised service-based loan forgiveness and then screwed over by DeVos).

You’re right that MAGA won’t go away. But Trump is a unique figure on the right, and one that is particularly dangerous right now. There isn’t one thing we can do to change the minds of his supporters, but every election we keep him out of power is 4 more years until all the Project 2025 shit can come true.

We need #TDazzle, it makes your teeth stronger and starts a party in your mouth. Its an aquatic based social media oral experience.

Here’s an informative video explaining the details

ICANN doesn't have the authority to levy a tax. I'm not sure how you would enforce a system like that.

A bigger plane falls victim to the square cube law - as it gets bigger the support structures need to get bigger too. At least that’s my hypothesis, clearly the article didn’t mention this. I’m curious if multiple smaller planes allows each plane to be lighter weight relative to the cargo capacity, with the front plane just sporting an engine overspend to its own size/weight.

It’s less about explicitly saying they’re the same, it’s using whataboutism when criticizing the right and giving equal weight/legitimacy to “experts” on both sides.

Additionally, Apple intentionally makes green bubbles harder to read than blue bubbles.

Probably not for the most part. You need to get a face scan for the customized foam insert, so buying one secondhand might be a pain.

“IP” in this context means “internet protocol address”. A public IP is one that can be accessed from outside your home (what you see when you go to https://whatismyipaddress.com/). A non-public, or internal, IP is the one your router gives your computer, frequently starting with 192.168. This can be accessed by other computers on your network but not from outside your network.

This is for music not watched content, but Maloja and Multi Scrobbler are a pretty nice setup.

No recommendations for your actual post, but thought it might be useful for someone else.

The comment is comparing generic to brand-name frozen vegetables, not frozen to fresh vegetables

You would be spending $10,000/month on groceries without your garden??

It's a bit newer, but Immich is a very promising Google Photos replacement.

I've never used Proxmox, but have a Docker setup on Ubuntu Server with Jellyfin, Nextcloud, Immich, and a bunch of other smaller things. I still don't understand why use Proxmox over Docker. What does it give you that Docker doesn't?

So downhill and uphill mountain biking
