Rodeo,

What would happen to your finances if your property value went down?

Rodeo,

Happy Valley Oregon is in Clackamas County just southeast of Portland and even though they are a Portland suburbs they position themselves explicitly as an anti-Portland in terms of gender expectations.

Has the city council released some statement on the matter? Where can I read the city’s position on this?

Rodeo,

Am I only the only one who thinks comes off like “men arent like women, and therefore broken”?

Not having to spend an hour discussing my feelings is actually one of the things I like about my friendships. I don’t want long deep hugs, they make me uncomfortable. And I definitely don’t want someone opening up to me about their life struggles. That’s not the kind of friendship I like or want.

I guess that makes me broken!

Rodeo,

So not only am I somehow fundamentallly broken, I’ve also been duped by society and I’m too stupid to even realize it?

You couldn’t be any more insulting if you tried.

Rodeo,

But they didn’t say that. They flat out said “men are broken”.

Rodeo,

Surely you have something more constructive to say than a sneering quip?

Rodeo,

We’ll just have to agree to disagree on that.

Rodeo,

I did read it and it’s riddled with shit I would never, ever want, and yet he presents it like it’s a bad thing. Here’s a choice example:

When traveling or running errands, and I saw a parent dealing with an exhausting kid, I could help and not be stared at like a creep.

I can’t imagine ever wanting to help with a strangers child. Not because I might be treated like a creep, but because it’s just none of my business. I would even go so far as to say that assuming they need help is problematic in itself. But he doesn’t address that; no, apparently men don’t help because we’ve been broken by society.

Designed and printed some holders for old lights to mount under my kitchen cabinets (i.imgur.com)

Was gifted some old lights that were designed to be stuck into holes in wood. Didn’t want to drill holes that big into my kitchen cabinets, so I designed and printed these holders that can be screwed to the cabinets and hold the lights. Also the lights are surrounded by it, so they don’t glare. Here are the results:...

Rodeo,

I can’t imagine why anyone would drill holes in the bottom of their cabinets to put lights in. Is that actually what you’re supposed to do with that product?

Rodeo,

Yeah the screw holes aren’t a problem, but a 3 inch diameter would be. I thought it was crazy that those lights would be sold expecting people to do that, but it turns out he’s salvaged them from a mirror.

Rodeo,

A build plate commonly sits on top of the hotbed, but people frequently just call the whole thing the bed.

Rodeo,

Do you have anything that refutes her points? Or are you just resorting to the ad hominem fallacy?

Rodeo,

That’s literally an ad hominem fallacy lmao. What is expertise if not part of ones character?

You are not an expert either, but that doesn’t mean anything you say about it is untrue and should be discarded. If you make a claim the validity of that claim is what should be debated, not whether your credentials are relevant.

Rodeo,

From the Wikipedia page for ad hominem:

Typically this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself.

What a “ridiculous idea” lmao

Rodeo,

Being a lawyer doesn’t preclude knowledge of science.

You’re just wrong pal, be a man and take the loss.

Rodeo,

If you recall, we are talking about what constitutes an ad hominem attack. Since being a lawyer does not preclude knowledge of science, pointing out that she is a lawyer constitutes an ad hominem attack.

Let me know if you need that spelled out for you yet again.

Rodeo,

Again, what is expertise if not part of one’s character?

You’re really having a hard time with this one eh?

Rodeo,

You seem to be a little too focused on the word “attack”.

She made specific points and your response to those points was to fault to her expertise. You didn’t respond to her points; you responded to her character.

Relevant or not, it is still ad hominem.

Is there a way to filter out a category of community?

I’m fairly new here and I’d like to use it more, but, there are a variety of general categories of communities that I’d like to never see. So instead of blocking them 1 by 1 as they pop up I’d like to have the ability to say “Block all communities that are sports related” for instance....

Rodeo,

Man that would be awesome. It’s taken me weeks to get rid of all the sports crap

Rodeo,

For most of history charging interest was considered very unethical. There’s even a derogatory term for it: usury.

It’s a rather recent phenomenon that usury has become acceptable.

Rodeo,

A Barbie is what you throw the shrimp on.

Rodeo,

Linux has been able to handle that since the 90s.

Rodeo,

Considering how there’s almost no computers anymore with such limited resources that they can’t store a string or convert to one, it’s kind of crazy anybody bothers with the ambiguity of using numbers for the month.

Rodeo,

Implement wrappers everywhere? Why can’t they just write a single function that takes an ISO date a spits out a string (human readable) date? I’d put money down that such a function already exists in almost every library that deals with dates.

Rodeo,

Ah yes, because the only thing that has ever mattered is merit. There is not one single instance in history of a thing with more merit losing out. Nope, no siree.

Rodeo,

It’s maybe like 10% better … but it requires double the resources and literally thousands of times the prep time. The return on investment is so bad it’s laughable.

Rodeo,

What about all the African countries south of the equator? Afrikaans is the obvious one, but there must be hundreds of tribal languages. Also don’t forget Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. The Amazon surely has tribal languages too.

Rodeo,

Personally I find the built in –help option to be much more useful than manpages. Manpages are excessively wordy and almost never have info I’m looking for without having to search.

Built in help options usually concisely list all the options with a brief explanation of what they do. That’s perfect.

Rodeo,

they were going below the speed limit. That creates dangerous conditions.

If they were doing 65 in a 65 and everyone else was doing 85, the cops can’t do shit because they’re literally following the law.

Do you think speed limits are an exact number that has to be matched at all times?

Rodeo,

No, I’m pointing out how seem to think going below the limit is also a crime that cops can pull you over for.

They can ticket you for unsafe driving if you’re going significantly below the speed of traffic. And in my area there is actually a minimum speed on the freeways.

But the way you worded it made it sound like you think you have to go exactly the speed limit at all times.

Rodeo,

It’s tempting because it sounds like complete and utter bullshit and we think we could prove it wrong.

I mean, I’m not going to actually stick a lightbulb in my mouth, but I’m still convinced it’s bullshit.

It's not just Adobe. Now Logitech wants me to go to a random website in order to add peripherals to my computer, and I'm met with this when I go to the page they tell me to (lemmy.world)

As if it wasn’t bad enough that they want me to use a random internet service to add a keyboard to a usb wifi receiver, they have the balls to put this for Firefox users. I clicked out of pure curiosity, as I’m not even remotely interested in involving a corporate internet service in getting my keyboard connected to my...

Rodeo,

Not to mention that nobody knows what other code that QR code might have run on their device when it was scanned.

QR codes themselves are a security problem.

Rodeo,

You might as well go right back to Gilgamesh, literally the earliest written saga ever discovered, predating the Iliad by at least 1200 years.

Rodeo,

There are caves networks beneath the ocean floor made from hydrothermal vents, and tubeworms use them to migrate.

Rodeo,

I think he’s saying that although it’s a treatment, it is not a cure.

It seems to me you are actually agreeing with him.

Rodeo,

You’re right, those thing are treatments, not cures.

It’s nice that we all agree.

Rodeo,

There is something beautiful about the 3-2-1 cadence of this meme.

Rodeo,

Haha there are so many emotions in that expression

Rodeo,

I started down that path and now about the only thing left that’s original is the frame.

For me the biggest thing was moving the power supply under the back of the printer and putting 90 degree die cast braces to support the tower. The tower is the critical point of rigidity in this kind of design, and the stock ender 3 oscillates like a tuning fork. Especially if you leave the roll of filament on the top and the power supply attached to the upright.

Rodeo,
Rodeo,

Well first you take a picture of lightning hitting a building. Then you put it next to a picture of an exploded toilet.

Rodeo,

The native advertising has already arrived on Lemmy. Tis a day of sorrow.

Rodeo,

Man I know lots of small town rednecks and none of them are pro workers rights.

They’ve all been fooled into believing trickle down economics and at least half are anti vaxxers and while most aren’t vocal about LGBT stuff they all roll their eyes and wouldn’t give a shit if trans people were crucified. Oh and they all have oversized trucks just like every redneck does.

I don’t know where this idea of good rednecks comes from, there’s plenty of good people but they aren’t rednecks.

Rodeo,

I guess I wasn’t clear enough in my last sentence, so me spell it out for you:

There’s plenty of good people in rural areas but they aren’t rednecks.

Rodeo,

Where is this idea that rural equals redneck coming from? Now who’s generalizing, good lord

The creator of Pixelfed announced an upcoming encrypted messenger for the fediverse that will work across the fediverse (mastodon.social)

It will be open source, end to end encrypted using Signal’s double ratchet encryption protocol, and he plans to make it easy for fediverse platforms to integrate it. The beta will release later this month....
