Lemmy lives on my phone and iPad. So rarely venture into the web UI. But I use Voyager On my mobile devices.

Do enlighten us. What atrocities did Ukraine commit in 2014?

As does Windows and Mac. The both have states that are “asleep” but connected to the internet. Whether they will keep downloading - it’s not a thing I have tested.

Is the cost of living crisis that crazy?

I left the US in 2017 tired of a decade of stagnant wages.

Of course in 2018 the wages started spiking. But is all of it eaten by cost of living increases?

What if I told you, the kid playgrounds are there for the parents ;)

(Yeah yeah. Not all adults are parents. Still tho).

Adieu , a parent of a kid.

Because of apple’s size. And because we just witnessed a death of a proprietary connector. A major win for the consumer and for the universtal serial bus projects overall mission.

On a side note. Apple has been part of the usb c project from the beginning and based on some biographies - they worked hard to never release Lightning. But they needed to drop the old 30pin connector and found usb C not ready when they needed it - so they release the lightning port instead. Then stuck to it for obvious profit /ecosystem reasons.

“Suicidal military missions” are quite different from terrorism. What a silly attempt at an analogy.

That said. Terrorism is far from uniquely a Muslim tactic - it’s quite effective and had been used extensively in the past over and over again.

I repeat this every time someone posts being worried about Putin using nukes.

Putin has a 30 years old lover and handful of small kids with her. All his oligarch supporters have families.

Any use of any nukes results in all of us dying and the few that survive living like rats.

The one and only line that will not be crossed is these oligarchs and their kids living out their lives in bunkers like rats.

It does not even matter that Putins new family is hiding in Switzerland. They would still have to live the rest of their lives like rats.

It becomes a template for other states.

There are probably groups in OH, PA, WI who will file the same motion if this one in CO succeeds.

Remove trump from the ballot in enough swing states and he is no path to victory.

Truth. Very good point.

Miele now us a few bagless models with pretty good reviews. But they are a late comer compared to Dyson and Samsung.

It’s popular to hate on Dyson but cordless, bagless vacuum is very much a game dominated by them. Others - Samsung, Miele - have great products but I have yet to see a model from them that is truly superior to flagship Dysons. They dominate on suction and battery power.

Dyson is expensive (overpriced?). The owners is an oligarch brexiteer asshole. The brand is perpetually trending with annoying influencers and I find their vacuums ugly, but … they build very good vacuums.

Yes. I own a Dyson. A corded one. We’re on our third one and keep buying them because we have never had any issues with them.

My current one is 4 years old. The one before was 10 by the time we sold it due to international move. The one before we bought 10 years old used before deciding we wanted a new one.

They campaigned hard on it. Especially in reopening two reactors closed by international treat as they built it literally next to Copenhagen. Then I heard nothing about it at all.

It seems it was a cynical populist campaign and there in no real goal to do anything at all.

Wouldn’t move back.

I am in Europe. (I also have EU citizenship so that drove my decision).

I have friends who moved to NZ to try to escape the threat of Nazis here as well (it’s not like Europe is free from the evils shredding the US).

But yeah. Socialism is great. Salaries are lower and taxes higher and I would not trade in a million years.

Find a job that will relocate you. Million times easier than the alternatives.

I did the “alternatives”. I survived. Would not recommend.

Precisely. Nothing in Texas is supposed to work as advertised. This is to further hunt poor people. Ideally brown ones. Glad I left that rotten state.

See that is the opposite of the goal here. This will be a whip on poor people. Making the fine tied to your income would punish the people writing this bill they cannot have that !

Lol. I accepted 2/3 of your links but I reject the idiocy of CATO so I am biased!? Lol

Have a nice day.

And yeah. You keep posting links that contradict the statement “they laughed them out of the room” you originally posted. NATO opened up to Russia. Russia decided it was not worth their effort.

CATO is a bunch of crazies posturing as a think tank. Their opinions are ideological and not fact based. They make the Heritage Foundation (I think they rebranded to Heartland Institute) sound like a reasoned logical bunch.

CATO is not a trustworthy factual source. It’s a trustworthy source if you want to justify oligarchy and fascism, though.
