A good workspace is a thing of Zen. Enjoy your clean workbench, because that will change in a week and it will never be this clean again!

Couple photos before caulking. Too many soulless, sterile, monochromatic kitchens out there. I have some white/gray stuff, but only with some strategy involved. Gray counters hide food. White cabinets are timeless and easy to match. I was sure to add color where I could otherwise, and the backsplash was a great option!

Been working on a kitchen renovation, bit by bit. Floors, cabinets, counter... Basically everything except for appliances and general layout. The last big step was the tile backsplash, and my friend helped me with caulking it this past weekend (she said she has a pretty good touch with that, and I know I probably don't). Turned out pretty good!

Normally my dad would help me with stuff like that, but he lives a few states away. He knows I've been working on it, but hasn't seen any progress pictures in a long time. It'll be fun to show him when my parents come to visit this week!

Down to some trim work (floor, cabinet toe kicks) and a few other odds and ends!

I mean, that veto is subject to an override like any other.

What baffles me is that things that were done through Congress is being undone unilaterally by the executive, and Republicans' responses are basically "oh yes, this is fine. Would you like some more of our power, Mr. President? We aren't using it, help yourself!"

Pretty sure that was stolen from a Hegseth reference. Still pretty good

What are they going to do, sic the dismantled Department of Education on them?

Also, funny how "empowering states" only works one way

I feel like it should be Putin controlling Musk controlling Trump

Big balls

Take a second to actually read this one. It's pretty short and sweet. It's also from 2007, and talks about nouns (maybe compound nouns) that we really don't think and probably never knew were hyphenated. It's not about the use we typically see today.

As an aside, I've noticed people start hyphenating in weird ways, like "I've been at this job for 7-years"

It's more like pranking your granny in the nursing home. Still plenty easy to do, but sad and cruel.

Sounds like you're looking for something that only exists in the used market, which may be your plan anyway.

The Mitsubishi imiev never took off, but it's probably the least-frilly EV you can buy. But as Doug Demuro will tell you, it's a bit quirky. Assuming you're American, yes, is was released in the States but no, you probably wouldn't have heard of it. I'm not sure I'd recommend it necessarily, but it's an option

That said, I have a Chevy Bolt. Pretty easy to find on the used market (and with that, get service if you need it) no dumb features nobody asked for. It does have Android Auto/Apple Car Play, which is actually pretty awesome (I believe it's the 2022+ models with wireless car play). Their base models are pretty barebones (some don't even have DC fast charging, watch out for that) but higher trims do have some nice features to them. It's kind of a car you've seen on the road but didn't know you actually wanted.

By the way, backup cameras became mandated a while ago. I'm not sure the screen size requirements (I've seen some cars put it in the rear view mirror, which was kinda cool actually) but since most cars need a screen now to support that, and higher trim levels will use that screen for other things, and making multiple pieces of hardware for the same car is an annoyance for car makers, you'll probably see a screen on most cars. Just FYI.

So what you're saying is, Musk now has an $11 billion write-off without really losing anything that was sold.

Bing (or I guess to keep up with the song, _ingo)

As someone who usually hates shallow, easy, nihilistic answers...

Hah! With this Justice Department?

I didn't know you use Lemmy, dad!

But you guys don't understand! Sports!!!

Yeah but you basically said the same thing to someone who does the opposite so I'm just going to assume your strategy is to not wipe at all, which is weird

Check out the used market! The 2022-23s had an awesome facelift, plus the EUV version is just a little bigger mostly in the back seats

As I remember/understand it, it's a civil law, not a criminal one. One that doesn't really care about standing (who has skin in the game to file a lawsuit). So here's the neat part: damn near anyone can sue over it!

All fraud are shady things, but not all shady things are fraud. The prior commenter implied that all top corporations commit fraud (at least, that's how I took it. It was worded a bit abstractly).

So, what fraud (not shady thing, not something you disagree with, but actual fraud) is Target committing? Or are we just trying to be edgy?
