John Fetterman isn’t the politician you thought he’d be — and he doesn’t care

Jump

  • When a politician fails to represent their constituents it is good?

    Yes, a leader must act as needed, but, for better or worse, we expect them to act on behalf of the electing populace.

    IMO, there’s just way too much gray area in this one for Fetterman to act so black and white.

    • Unused Airtag slot

    Jump

  • Had a few ideas for ya:

    2 coins

    A fake AirTag

    A couple pieces of chiclets gum

    Coiled wire or string

    Fresh air (or a fart), in a tiny ziploc bag

    A tiny hair doll

    Two very tiny hair dolls

    Let me know if you need any more!

    • What are your best flight tips and tricks?

  • Don’t forget that sunscreen can be expensive depending on your destination. Going to a family or friends house and the beach? NBD. Flying to Cancun and into a resort? That on prem sunscreen is gonna cost ya mucho dinero compared to BYO.

  • I prefer to dice and soak in cold water first to get rid of that excess starch. Saving cook time is a win for me.

  • Dislike my ecobee pro in my current house. Liked my first gen ecobee in my last house. The new one has a poor quality air quality sensor and I’ve had to calibrate the temp for it to feel proper. Also had to replace a unit that lost its connection with HomeKit and wouldn’t rejoin the home.

    For me, my next solution will be based on what works best in Home Assistant.

    To be fair, Ecobee isn’t the worst thing in the world, just not a brand I’d buy from a third time.

    • More US auto buyers are turning to hybrids as sales of electric vehicles slow

    Jump

  • Regarding the first two, I find charging my EV at home means I rarely have to consider public charging. I’ve started to find stopping at the gas station way more inconvenient.

    When I lived in the city, I maintained charge with a standard 120v outlet. In a rural area, I am doing well with a 240v (15a).

    12 hour+ road trips are the only thing I hesitate on much anymore — sometimes I love the EV road trip, and other times I’m just looking to make good time.

    • Does matcha tea need to be combined with milk or can I use water?

    Jump

  • I prefer it straight with water, myself. Sometimes it’s hard to find places that will sell a straight matcha water. It’s important to use at least culinary grade if not ceremonial, and order your matcha from a reputable distributor.

    I like Tenzo tea, but it’s overpriced. Enso or something like that is what’s in my cabinet these days.

    • What are your favourite RSS feeds ?

    Jump

    • more and more news sites are pushing for paywalls even reuters now here are some sources that don't have pay walls and Npr mentions paywall in their own new pop-up?

    Jump

  • That’s fair.

    Maybe Reuters is finding that “end users” are becoming their new customers, especially in the current media climate.

    At first blush, I think it’s ok to want to track that type of impact more.

    Jump

  • It’s still free to you. It’s not a paywall.

    Mind you, you’re not contributing at all to support the material you’re consuming — there are other humans trying to make a living off the stuff you want for free.

    Support things you value, otherwise they might disappear. Or worse, they introduce a true paywall.

    • What is the funniest trash talk you have received online?

    Jump

  • From my SOFII days: “Shut your cock holster [anti-Semitic slur]”

    Cock holster. Genius.

    The other slurry bit was cringe then and still is.

    • What's the most derogatory term someone has used for you?

    Jump

  • You sure you’re not the bully here?

    • Starlink bug frustrates users: “They don’t have tech support? Just a FAQ? WTF?”

    Jump

  • It grinds my gears so hard. At first I submitted feedback, thinking everyone wants good documentation. Then I realized the ploy.

    Also, chat bots. Fuck me for being able to think through the basics and needing real help, right?

    • Atypical tips to quit smoking?

    Jump

  • Perhaps Alan Carr’s “The Easy Way”?

    My favorite chapter of that book was titled the Benefits of Smoking.

    The author uses a nice technique - reducing the concept and practice of smoking to absurdity. Reductio ad ab-smoke-dum, if you will.

  • This. I went back to my XLS because it’s much easier to manage and massage the data.

    I did like some parts of Actual Budget, and incorporated them into my spreadsheet.

    • Is there a community where I can post anything in case I don't find the appropriate community for it?

  • Hey, don’t judge a cover of a book by its look.

    And check out Trailer Park Boys.

  • Just trying to share a random screen grab, or want to say or ask something about it? Search for some Windows or Tech communities and post away.

    Worst case Ontario, you get some downvotes.

    • Hello from Memmy!

  • Yeah it is! Glad I wasn’t alone with how that felt. The community logo shrinks while reducing the banner works just fine for me UX-wise.
