USB-A walked so USB-C could fly.

I dislike you 16-year old boy, Sycamore Gap Feller.

I dislike you as I dislike Brock Turner, Convicted Rapist.

Buying shit tier stuff is gonna give your a shit tier experience. Have more discretion in your shopping, which could mean holding out for quite awhile, and you'll eventually find a USB-C option.

Florida man on tape in civil sex assault case tells accuser he wants to ‘own’ her breasts, talks about penis size, disparages Jews.

Does it hit any different?

New CAPCHA just dropped.

3.5B sounds like a lot, but Ford has around 175k US employees, if you divide that 3.5B over the ten years over the 175k employees, that's only an extra $2000/employee/yr. $2000/yr is not going to help a factory worker's future medical debt nor allow someone to afford a house or a family that couldn't $2k ago.

Show me someone who wouldn't take an additional 2K/year for the same work.

Inscryption.

I am not at liberty to elaborate.

Isn't this the stuff that the fascists tried to weaonize in WWII, but it was too dangerous to handle and it, like, burnt down a concrete bunker or something?

NSFL isn't as common as NSFW but it's still an established acronym.

I feel like people could benefit from what I know about Butt Stuff™.

First you do Universal Pet Health, which you push by just talking about how good it would be for dogs and ranch families.

Then you talk about how silly it is that we have UPH, but not UBH, especially when UBH would help with our nation's combat readiness.

You may want to take this opportunity to educate your children on the relationships between lifestyle choices, old age, atrophy, and death, but also to ensure they understand that who they see is not who he was.

Too heavy, too integrated into the design. Might as well worry about people stealing your transmission or rack & pinion (TFW: that's what your car uses to translate 'turning the wheel' into turning the wheels).

Another factor that makes lithium-ion battery fires challenging to handle is oxygen generation. When the metal oxides in a battery’s cathode, or positively charged electrode, are heated, they decompose and release oxygen gas. Fires need oxygen to burn, so a battery that can create oxygen can sustain a fire.

Because of the electrolyte’s nature, a 20% increase in a lithium-ion battery’s temperature causes some unwanted chemical reactions to occur much faster, which releases excessive heat. This excess heat increases the battery temperature, which in turn speeds up the reactions. The increased battery temperature increases the reaction rate, creating a process called thermal runaway. When this happens, the temperature in a battery can rise from 212 F (100 C) to 1,800 F (1000 C) in a second.

Disagree-ish.

I would suggest that, instead, after a certain age or catastrophic loss (such as that of a lifetime partner) we should all be receiving regular competency / cognizants evaluations. I think that compulsive retirement would be dehumanizing, a potential trigger for senility, dementia, or suicide, and a negligent misappropriation of the experience and institutional knowledge, that many of our seniors hold.

[I awaken as a shadow of my former self, a figment of the late-night scroller you met so long ago. I return to you now, humbled and broken by time and nature, and in my defeat I must profess that In my state I find myself unfit to take up the weight of the banner which I swore to bear.]

Yes, the very same Brock Allen Turner, convicted rapist of an unconscious woman behind a dumpster, who only served three months.

Everything short of a cooperative is a compromise.

So throw a few people under the bus and use that to make people believe "it is getting better" as you continue to smear shit on yourself.

This made my brain generate a picture of someone standing naked before a horrified crowd and moaning out, "It's getting better!" as they smear feces on their body.

What do you do with the democratic process

There's more than one way to run a democracy, and more than one way to tally votes; it just so happens that the way we're currently doing it —First Past The Post Voting— is utter shit; it's the lynchpin of the two party system and systemic corruption.

If we commit grassroots focus to electoral reforms in favor of Ranked Choice Voting then all these insidious actors will find power to be much more slippery.

Thank you.

It's different than you might imagine. There's a certain unmistakable mix of institutional power, mandate, callousness, and incompetence that makes state execution's uniquely awful.

You can use your flashlight to find and blind them so they're easier to hit.

Constructive or insightful comments, such as this, are the kind of content Lemmy should strive for.

It sounds like he cocked it before raising it, his thumb slipped off the hammer at the end of the action, and then —with his finger in the guard— he reflexively tightened his grip and discharged it.

Same thing can happen with semi-automatic pistols when you hit the slide release and all the weight slams forward: you accidentally pull the trigger to keep your grip, and then it discharges.

Avoid it. There's a higher chance of self-harm than -healing.

No, us generating content and community is how we get users. Reddit's conduct only creates episodic influxes of users.

Part of it is because you still need a gig to keep the retirement funds rolling. You don't want to live it out on pea soup and bread.

Part of it is because after a certain point every bit of your body, from your bones to your brains, is only available on a Use It or Lose It basis with no warranty for service blackouts.

And part of it is because, and l guess this is due to the collapse of the extended-family model, lots of people don't have anyone or thing to go home to; they're divorced or widowed, kids have moved out, and their social network has literally died out.

Towards the end of his life my father only had ONE surviving peer from grade school. Imagine how it is to call your only surviving friend on a regular basis and to wonder, each time, if today's the day you learn you've already heard their voice for the last time.

Basic: we want to ensure everyone drinks pumpkin spice White Claws, has a pH of at least 7.1, or is basically healthy. Their choice.

I think that being able to wipe the tracker with a factory reset is a pretty big drawback for software-side, but —and I don't think this is possible— if you could load it into the micro-SD and make that run the tracker, I (for some reason) see that being more robust or redundant.

I forget the thing has a micro-SD most of the time.

For anyone else who works in these sorts of environments don't be afraid to buy an aggressive hair net or bandana. If your hair gets entangled you'll be lucky if a scalping is the most of your injuries.

Paint.net is nice because it has plugin support.

Good to know about the power draw. I think Airtags use a button cell already, so in the end it's just stripping down the Airtag, finding space, and then 6 screws for routine service.

Yeah, obviously that sort of stuff wins by merit of practicality. I'm just wondering if there's anyone who wants to go crazy with the idea for the fun of it.
