In the US, if you don't have the loyalty card, you're paying more for groceries. For the stores we use, any sale prices are contingent upon using the loyalty card. This can add up to $5-$10 per order.

I'm not clear what you've done here, but I've never played with the purge command. I take it you removed a lot of basic packages. How did it happen? Wildcards?

Yeah I even have electric metal shears that would make quick work of it... I just don't want to do it. :)

Thanks.

Oooh thanks, I didn't think of that.

Yeah I'll get one. It's just trim around the opening. Most exterior doors have something similar.

Nah, it has to be money. No way something like that would ruin Trump at this point.

We have three cats, all adopted separately.

We started with one, then when he was older, we adopted a kitten. The two never really got along, but the older cat passed away a few months later - had we known how sick he was, we probably would have waited on the kitten. (He seemed fine, but we later realized that cancer had already started.)

We adopted another cat pretty quickly after the older one passed, because we didn't want the kitten to get used to being alone. A few years later we adopted a third cat, hoping the second two would get along and play with each other.

The "kitten" passed away several years later and we adopted another kitten who is still with us.

Our cats have never been best friends, they don't cuddle together or anything like that. It's more of a tolerate situation. They do get irritated with each other from time to time, but it seems pretty even as to who is instigating it.

They've never drawn blood or even had a major fight. They just kind of wrestle or chase each other, and sometimes I wonder if they are just playing.

I do think that a cat that is used to being alone is usually going to have a tougher time with a new cat.

(We' re taking one of the older cats to the vet today. I recently realized he's lost almost 2 lbs since last summer, and he's being very active for an 11+ year old cat, so we're wondering about his thyroid. The other old cat needs an asthma inhaler and steroid every night for his conditions. Like the vet said, as they get older, they start collecting health issues.)

I assume you've never made any mistakes, ever. What an arrogant attitude.

I tried that with someone on facebook. They retreated back to "we have to get federal spending under control." Maybe so, but this group isn't doing that.

I can't wait to talk to my parents. Lifelong republicans (though not specifically trump fans, just voting R), so it's extremely likely they voted for this.

I'm a federal employee. They voted to put my job (and my wife's job) in jeopardy. They voted for this. They voted to hurt us.

It should come out of Trump, Musk, and Vought's money.

Yeah I've heard the same thing. Wet food is better for them.

Shadow runs lemmy.ca, and states that it is lemmy.ca signups. He's certainly in a position to have the information available, unlike some random lemming like myself.

"I have a lot of respect for you Elon, please don't be a name-caller." What an idiot.

The dBase III joke was pretty good. But dBase IV would have been much, much funnier.

I used to be huge into college football, planning my weekends around when my teams were playing. I drifted away for a few years after they instituted the "targeting" penalty; in particular, there was a game where it was called twice on one drive, one was outright wrong (and overturned upon review*), and the other was borderline. It wasn't a decision to protest; it was more of a "this isn't important to me any more" kind of thing.

*It was overturned, but in that first year of the rule, the 15 yard penalty still counted. The player that committed the potential foul was simply allowed to remain in the game. (They have changed this rule since then.)

To be clear, I'm not in favor of people being injured. It was just that targeting penalty that made me realize that football was never going to be a safe game. No sport is completely safe, obviously; there's always a risk of serious injury. But football seems especially designed to inflict injury, as opposed to other sports where the injuries are more incidental. And that scandal where the New Orleans (I think) NFL team was giving bounties for hits on specific players did not improve my opinion at all.

These days, we'll watch football games if we don't have anything else going on or whatever, but it's not a high priority. We did watch some of the super bowl - in that it was on TV while we were reading or working on paying bills, etc. - but we definitely didn't stay up late or anything like that for it. There's not much else on TV during the super bowl anyway.

Yep. Elon names everything DOGE or X.

Ahh, fuck.

I'm a federal employee. I've also had to download my most recent earnings & leave statements (something I usually ignore) and take a snapshot of my current leave totals...just in case DOGE fucks it all up.

I think last has it, too, but I'm not sure.

I'm not clear on your use case here - the system obviously can't report if it's off. Initially I thought this was in the Home Assistant community, and I was going to suggest just pinging the machine at regular intervals from the HA system. That makes sense if you're trying to monitor various systems.
