Speakers overkill? Is that even possible? (Don’t mind the mess. What’s not shown is the center and surrounds. I have the left side grills off to show the speakers themselves.) https://i.imgur.com/VfBrqku.jpg

Who needs to hear when you can feel the sound?

When I was a kid there were some things I’d see and wanted, only to get them and be seriously disappointed. I learned quickly that ads are fluff.

Nowadays, I actively stay away from things I’ve seen advertised. The way I see it is if a company has to pay tons of money to get their product seen, it can’t be all that good to start with. Genuinely good products don’t need to try and convince you they’re worth it.

old.lemmy.ca is having issues with the update as well. voting doesn’t seem to always work, and I couldn’t post from it. Not a huge deal, there’s always the normal mode.

Seems to be so far, thanks!

n December 2016, under President Barack Obama’s administration, the Corps of Engineers denied an easement for construction of the pipeline under the Missouri River,[13][14][15] though this decision was reversed the following month by the incoming administration of President Donald Trump. The pipeline was completed by April 2017, and its first oil was delivered on May 14.

And your own link that you posted states that “Grandpa Joe” rescinded the cross-border permit granted by the Trump administration.

You’re mad at the wrong people my dude.

Exactly, Facebook doesn’t do anything unless they see money in it or they’re trying to protect their bottom line.

It’s all about the shareholders, nothing else matters to the corporate world, no matter how nice of a bow they try to wrap it in.

I used to have a cat that would go mental for Pringles. She would not leave you alone if she saw a can in the house until you would put it down on the floor for her to see for herself that it was empty.

I’m still running my Galaxy s4 with LineageOS. It’s on it’s third battery but works good otherwise. Doesn’t have the power of newer phones but all I need is a phone/email/text system, and the IR blaster is nice for controlling my tv/amp. I plan to run this thing until either it dies or I do.

"We don’t want them to be retaliated against and to be charged by the DOJ,” the House speaker said. His office later noted that DOJ already has the raw footage.

So he’s blurring faces the DOJ already have and simply claiming he’s doing it to protect them… the dishonesty runs deep in this “christian.”

I made a fireplace out of wood for my playhouse/shed. It worked about as well as expected.

(In my defense it was a sort of laminate, so I didn’t clue in what it really was until it was too late. I ended up causing around $2000 dollars damage, which was a fair chunk of money in the 70’s.)

I remember my last bad dream. (many years ago)

I was running from some sort of skeleton things through a back alley. One of them caught me and we started fighting. In the struggle I managed to pin it down and yelled “Why are you chasing me?”

It stopped struggling and looked and me somewhat bewildered. “Because you were running.” It tried a few times to scare me into running again but I refused, so we just sat there and had an awkward conversation instead. Turns out my sleep demons are just as weird as I am.

There was also a user that was booted for sublemmy camping (literally trying to grab thousands of sub names) that was constantly ddosing the site, and doing everything they could to mess things up for others.

Rocketpoweredgorilla, 6 months ago

Probably still around under a different name or over on hexbear with all the other like-minded individuals.

Rocketpoweredgorilla, 6 months ago

I never said they had anything to do with it, only that may be where he went. (assuming he’s not still here.) The crap he was posting was very similar to what they were spamming.

Rocketpoweredgorilla, 6 months ago

No problem, maybe I should have been more clear with my comment. I was here when all that crap went down under a different username before I switched to this .ca one as my daily driver.

They took it literally, and really ARE trying to go fuck themselves.

Sadly the reality is that as long as Putin has people with (mostly) both arms and legs, he’s not going to stop tossing them into the fields to die. Nobody is winning much of anything for a long time.

Is the content copied from reddit?

Yup, at least in some cases. In one of the home networking subs I’ve seen several questions that after a quick search were posted on reddit within an hour before they showed up here. It kind of pisses me off wasting time trying to help someone that doesn’t even exist on the fediverse.

I’m not fond of them myself but a lot of guys do, for some reason. ( I love boobs and all, just not into stupid big 'uns.)

Hooters is just a restaurant chain that employs women as eye candy/ serving personnel.

It was just an experiment on how to get future cosmonauts into space without the added costs of using expensive rockets.

Preliminary reports suggest 16% of him made it there. Great success!

“But ma airflow!” they’ll counter, seemingly oblivous to the fact that even the t-600 Kenworths have a smaller grill and work just fine.

Yup, I’ve driven kenworths since the mid 90’s, never once ran over anything I didn’t intend to. Visibility is pretty good in those things.

And they’re pretty protective of them, I remember learning that one the hard way. Accidentally killed a chicken in Riverwood and suddenly the whole town was out to kill me for de-fowling them.

A bit hard to explain, but I had an accident once that screwed up my wrist. If you look at your wrist, there’s a bone that sticks out forming a little lump. underneath it is another round bone called the perilunate. My perilunate got dislodged and ended up pinching off the nerves to my fingers (carpal tunnel) and essentially shut down three of my fingers. My wrist was x-rayed and two separate doctors who looked at the x-ray told me everything was fine.

I asked “Are you sure?” I’m no stranger to pain but something felt totally off there. I was assured everything was ok, and to go to my doctor in a month if things didn’t get better. A month later, I went to another doc because it was not better at all, who took another x-ray and sent me home. I had just gotten home when he phoned me in a panic and told me to head straight back to the hospital for an expert to look at. He was in total disbelief that both doctors didn’t notice. I had surgery and three steel pins put into my wrist the next morning to hold things in place. Here’s the x-ray with a rather noticable bone out of place. i.imgur.com/n2rHYuw.jpg and after the pins were put in to hold things in place while it healed. i.imgur.com/Cnh0QwK.jpg

TLDR: I ran around for a month with a bone on the wrong side of my wrist because two doctors were in a hurry.

Although I was a bit annoyed at them I can’t really blame them. People screw up sometimes, it just sucked it had to be on me lol! I will never have full range use of my right hand anymore but I’m not sure how much was due to them overlooking things vs how much is because of the accident itself.

A one man toilet paper parade.

That’s my take. If your partner is aware and doesn’t mind there’s nothing wrong with it. If you’re doing it behind their back, that’s a big issue, in more ways than one.

I have an old tablet that I use simply as a monitor for my front door camera. It’s too wimpy to do anything else, and I can easily glance over and keep an eye on my front door.

How fancy, I usually just use normal bread slices instead. Want another combo that’s really good? Try using strawberry milkshake as dipping sauce with french fries. May sound a bit weird, but it’s really good.

Once your instance updates to version 0.19 I believe that will be an option. (Lemmy.ml is on BE: 0.18.5 at the moment. You can check what version you’re running at the bottom of the page on desktop.)

I don’t think they have any official release dates or anything, but if you dig around their github you can see what they’re working on. github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues

I’ve already cut back a lot on my youtube usage even though I never see ads. (Thank you sooo much UBO!!) I used to visit nearly every day but now it’s down to maybe a few times a week tops, and even then it’s through invidius or freetube.

I still use my s4 with LineageOS. It’s on it’s third battery but still going strong.

Rocketpoweredgorilla, 7 months ago

I have the app “Unified Remote” on my S4, which allows me to control my amp, tv’s, my laptop (Which is just a glorified dvr for my yard cameras now), and even my computer.

It’s a bit of a pain to set up, but works nicely once that’s done.

A plausible sounding article I read stated that his lawyers knew from the start that they didn’t have a chance of winning anyway. This whole thing is just theater to try and stall as long as possible to buy time until the election.

I’m sure they’ve already got plans to cheat their way to a “victory” on that front as well.

I’ve never been good at growing plants in my house (I usually either forget to water them, or over water them) but I love the look of them, that’s why I have a bunch of plastic plants around the house. I’ve even managed to kill spider plants which are pretty easy to grow.

Oddly I’m not bad at growing pot plants though… I just don’t have room to grow any like I used to.
