They had pledged to vote though, I would assume the vast majority of them would have done just that, so how are they "ghost voters?" I feel like I'm missing something here.
Sure there will be lots of wars and famine but predicting human extinction as a result of climate change is a bit of a stretch. Even in a bad scenario where 99% of humanity dies off things could still turn back around, regrow and we try again for an advanced civilization in a couple millennia.
I mean laugh at your neighbors house on fire if you want but the embers are blowing everywhere.
Not a fan of Apple but the number of people who would benefit from being able to monitor blood oxygenation is more meaningful to me than Masimo's ability to sell thousand dollar smartwatches with its patent technology. Would be great if somehow this patent was bought out and made public domain so people outside the upper middle class could have an affordable way to track their vitals.
Yeah he could have mentioned that in the debate
Not voting for a candidate is not the only, nor the most effective way to push a party to change positions on an issue you care about.
Legitimately planning how I'm going to weather a Trump presidency after the debate. Unimaginably disheartening.
I copied that floppy
A lot of retailers are replacing their standard phone systems with products from Zoom and other AI transcription enabled providers. In environments with audio recording, its reasonable to assume that relatively soon, full transcripts of conversations identified to individual speakers will be easily obtained, summarized and analyzed by AI. This will hopefully soon come under scrutiny for violating both two- and one-party consent laws for audio recording.
Leather is a by-product of dairy and beef production, there is vastly more leather than we use for garments. Most of it gets processed into pet food or makeup or automotive lubricants or who knows what
I'm liking the dynamics, JDs couchfucking unlikeability will make him lean more into his disingenuous worker advocacy. Causing the dems to meet their ante and retaliate with even more pro-worker policies than before. Could be interesting to watch and lucrative for the ever-gregarious working class!
Kindness and evil aren't mutually exclusive. Cute and scary arent mutually exclusive either.
Ticks
Raccoons sound like dinasaurs killing each other in a black and white movie no joke they are not quiet beasties
Retail, and to my knowledge among all my coworkers we have used zero digits of pi.
When I code in C++ I use 15 digits of pi after the decimal point (double float) but I have only rarely coded for money and have never used pi for those work products, so again, zero digits on the clock.
Ditto for restaurant work, although 2 decimal points would be more than enough if I needed the volume of a cake or other round food.
This is so you can flush your pot smoke and not have your parents smell it.
I like that you call it "feeding" like you're an agricultural animal that your dietitian cares for.
Biden's going to sign that bill that equates criticizing Israel with antisemitism isn't he?
Sounds like an admission of guilt
To go against the grain here, to me this is his final signal that voters have made their mind up and that he will take his chances on this toss-up of an election. He will pull all his dirty tricks and contest the results, perhaps violently, if he loses. I don't think he'll agree to a 2nd debate but Democrats should cajole him all they can to try to force another.
Nah, most cities are built specifically to conceal and exploit massive cave systems
Apprexiate the reminder but I remembered to do this yesterday, thank god!
In-line translation features for non-English communities (in my case) would be very helpful and would exceed Reddit functionality, which is something I think Lemmy should strive toward
I'd tell them to knock 50-70 off for the condition of the surfaces. No idea about the model and specs or if that's worth it but that's an ugly case on it and I would be grossed out using it, would probably have to tape a sheet of paper over the worn out spots to be comfortable touching that surface.
Most of the progressives I know are moving toward gun ownership rather than away, out of despair
Haven't seen the documentary but would be great to have an annotated list of accounts of gay animals from throughout history to point people towards so they can't say its chemicals in the water or microplastics turning animals gay in the current era.
Just a short jump to more invasive AI assisted snooping and analytics on spoken word conversations too.
The solution is to poach the best superusers from Reddit and get them to put their content here where it will be more appreciated.
US and UK flights are grounded because of the issue, banks, media and some businesses not fully functioning. Likely we'll see more effects as the day goes on.
"It is what it is"
No it isn't
I think most users assume votes are private and most will have a similar reaction to learning about this unintuitive negative feature of anything built on ActivityPub, including Lemmy.
Despair is also a key party platform. The more hopeless someone is, the more likely they are to invite catastrophic change like Trump promises.
Are there any early polls that show numbers of previous Trump voters picking Harris this time or previous Clinton/Biden voters going for Trump?
Not a bad idea if you limited it to properly accredited schools. I'll put this in the "buy Greenland" category of Trump ideas, oddly appealing.
On another thread someone was posting about how women in France are swinging hard right because of similar messaging, like it went from 23% to 31% pretty quickly. So unfortunately that's evidence that this might work here and an effective countermeasure should be prepared and tested.
I'll be shocked if its classified as terrorism.
Obama's forthcoming speech endorsing Harris will be worth watching I think
I mean if you have a usb lying around, putting ubuntu on it and trying is free. Worth a shot, you could get access to the drive too if it works. If that doesn't work you could still bring it into the shop to get worked on.
Waterpiks are great but not really a substitute for flossing
This advice is specifically for the hips rather than the buttocks. If you go to the gym, use the hip abductor machine, high reps and low weight, gradually increase. This is the machine where you work the gluteus medius muscle by moving your legs apart against the weighted pads. If you'd prefer to work out at home, search "hip abductor bands", they also work pretty well and you can use them sitting at a desk or something. They work by going above your knees and you stretch the band by moving your knees apart.
Not a fitness coach, or trans, just a guy who had been told he had a flat ass and wanted to prove em wrong. Happy with the results! In general if you want to feminize your body there are tutorials online about what exercises to do. Good luck!
