Ancient times? If I had stepped out and seen that this morning shit would be shat.
I mean, someone has to be the first person to watch the beginning of the end of the world, right? My lizard brain would have instantly decided I was the lucky person.
Seriously. Can we stop this ridiculous obsession with "generational" comparisons, please, and the click bait that goes with it? Let's instead start learning empathy and stop trying to force fit everything into an arbitrary category. Can we really not, collectively, as a species, grasp nuance and the eternally changing state of everything?
Probably not, but here's to hoping.
I wonder if this type of economic calculus would mean a supply of inexpensive, second-hand panels might be available in the next few years.
Put your salami in that and it's gonna come out looking like chorizo
Pure poetry. Your words have convinced me to keep my junk outta exotic fruits.
I have seen these in airport parking garages - green when the spot is empty, red when occupied and visible from the end of the aisle.
What really blew my mind was seeing the exact same functionality for stalls in the restroom.
Good choice. Your version is much better.
Didn't Uber start as a ride sharing app? As in, "Hey we're both headed in the same direction! I'll give you a ride in my vehicle, stranger, if you pitch in for gas." Then they realized with a few tweaks they could turn their pool of near-slave labor into profit. Enshittification accelerates.
Maybe there's a Fediverse-like solution for gig work that doesn't suck all the humanity out of it?
First, good on you. As a corpo wage slave who would not be good at either dressing up or removing said dressing, color me envious.
Second, any particular fandom pay the bills better than others?
Now that I'm asking I realize I probably don't actually want to know.
I have a self-filling, self-cleaning water bowl for my dogs. With two Great Danes, keeping the water bowl clean and full is a chore.
Right now it uses a digital timer and does an empty/fill cycle 16 times per day using those capacitive water sensors for the level setting and overflow detection. In a future iteration I plan on incorporating MQTT via WiFi for alerts and manual control.
I love the vagueness! Could be many things and sets the imagination whirring.
I also love this comment because it implies the existence of an "unhelpful professional" which is a wonderful distinction.
I taught myself to weld (poorly, of course) but I love the satisfaction of joining two pieces of metal well, and getting in the zone and laying down a clean bead to be proud of.
I often wondered but don't know any welders to ask personally... Does doing it professionally take the fun out of it?
That's either stupid as hell or utterly brilliant. Either way, I want it.
Absolutely. Nothing suffered or died to produce it so I wouldn't consider it unethical. I realize most people wouldn't be able to get past the "human" label.
Edit: not actually a vegan so not sure my vote counts in this thread.
Incredible and inspiring assessment. Thank you for sharing it with the world.
You deserve a raise! On Lemmy, at least.
Couldn't agree more. As a handy person myself I almost find it insulting that the video was a bit of ratcheting, a close up of a spark plug and "look how easy we should all do it".
And that comment section has to be rigged, right? No way YT comments are all that positive without one person calling him out for the over simplification.
Had a plumber friend joke that what he learned in plumbing school was, "Shit flows downhill and payday is Friday." As an adult I think plumbers really earn their money when the shit is flowing the wrong direction. Here's to a great career filled with... Interesting challenges.
Best of luck, friend. Hope everything works out for you.
It has been a minute but I want to say maybe BNA Nashville Airport had them.
Regardless, it looked like this.
If you work for a large-ish company you should look into getting ergonomic accomodations sooner than later. In the US anyway many companies want to avoid the workman's comp claims from repetitive stress injuries like carpal tunnel and whatever debilitating circulation issues sitting in a crap chair 8 hours daily causes.
It is a DIY setup. Basically is a sink bowl with the logic of a sump pump with high/low floats (couple of relays and sensors), a fountain pump to drain to a nearby sink, and a valve to fill. The timer drains the water every hour and the fill part is essentially a cheap shower head aimed at an angle so when it is draining and filling at the same time the water is swirling, making it (mostly) self-cleaning. I wipe the inside and outside every week or so just to make sure it is working and isn't growing anything.
Biggest worry since it is DIY is that something will fail and flood my house. I have a separate high level sensor that closes the valve, starts the pump, and sounds an alarm to help with that, and one of those cheap, warbling 9v water sensors nearby just in case.
Your money or someone else's?
When things like this don't make sense there is a tried and true method that usually sheds some light on it: Follow. The. Money.
I don't claim to have some knowledge of some deep state actors or even understand the nuances of late stage capitalism. But, I do understand some writer, reporter, or publisher not wanting to have to explain to their family that they're moving to a van down by the river because they wouldn't write an article that didn't explicitly call bullshit on some billionaires people-based checkers game. It is easy to compromise on a story, then another.
That's just my hypothetical for this comment, but extrapolate to everything else we're seeing that just seems batshit insane and yet is being reported on as nothing more than slight variations on business as usual or two sides with slightly different ideological views. You start to feel like the only sane person in the asylum and it drives you mad.
It is a DIY setup. We had one of those bottle setups like you describe. For my big dogs all it did was slowly become more slobber than water. I realized the problem wasn't more water but getting rid of the slobber.
Post above describes what I did if you're interested.
That's awesome.
The PG&E comments, not the earth scorched by lightning.
Genuinely the best thread on Lemmy in a fortnite. Thank you.
Is your farm specialty growing plants or animals? Or both?
My family has dabbled in chickens, horses, and goats. But we can't grow a plant that isn't a weed.
True, if the justice system retains any of its authority under the next administration. Our laws and the institutions that uphold them are just constructs that can be influenced, dissolved, or repurposed.
Vote, people.
