dynamojoe,

Where the hell do you put the flamethrower? inverse Chesty

dynamojoe,

Police cameras, you say?

dynamojoe,

Do they not have editors anymore

Naah, they’re all in a rush to be the first to press with the Radioactive Pig scoop.

dynamojoe,

I’m halfway through Gaiman’s American Gods and then I’m going to complete my journey though The Culture with The Hydrogen Sonata.

Wisconsin Supreme Court chief justice accuses liberal majority of staging a 'coup' (apnews.com)

The conservative chief justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court on Monday told the new liberal majority in a scathing email that they had staged a “coup” and conducted an “illegal experiment” when they voted to weaken her powers and fire the director of state courts....

dynamojoe,

When conservatives take control, this kind of takeover is expected. When Democrats take control and do this, all of a sudden it’s an affront to justice and fair play. Fuck that. I hope the chief justice quits in disgust.

dynamojoe,

Surely a publication like The Wall Street Journal wouldn’t have an agenda to support… go back to the office and be grateful for your ever-shrinking share, plebians

dynamojoe,

he’ll make exceptions for his own toys.

dynamojoe,

I think I just got harassed about my adblocker in Finnish.

dynamojoe,

Big Unsolved Mysteries vibes from this pic. Like he’s the guy that disappeared that everyone had a reason to hate.

dynamojoe,

What are the chances the Proud Boy will even make an attempt to learn Belarusian?

If he pretends it’s German, maybe.

dynamojoe,

removing things is also removing manufacturing complexity and reducing the number of points of failure. If it costs $0.13 to add a headphone jack, but an increasingly smaller number of your customers use it, eventually there’s a tipping point where removing the feature is worth the grief the company will get from the noisy minority. Your manufacturing run of a million devices just got many thousands of dollars cheaper. Same with removable batteries, SIM slots, and CD drives in laptops, etc.

dynamojoe,

Weed out all the bots at the same time

They don’t want to do that. That would destroy a significant chunk of their userbase and make X look weaker.

dynamojoe,

Raul hated the boss’ placement of top shelf spirits.

dynamojoe,

Sonny Bono 2.0

dynamojoe,

Whenever a conservative bitches about The Deep State I roll my eyes. It has been around for decades and it’s on their side. There’s a reason Biden changed his security detail.

dynamojoe,

I’d love to see a breakdown of political party membership between the branches of government (including law enforcement under the executive branch).

dynamojoe,

Some of these sound like ship names in The Culture.

dynamojoe,

Ron knows that the taxpayers with the newfound burden were less likely to vote for him anyway. Larger urban areas in Florida lean blue, rural areas are red. Ron will screw Orlando relentlessly to make panhandle voters happy.

dynamojoe,

What a terrible demotion for Kelsey Grammer, from Starfleet to submarines.

dynamojoe,

At least you get to leave the argument and not have to abandon your state.

dynamojoe,

The GA legislature has already laid the groundwork to deal with this. If the grand jury returns an indictment, they’ll start waving this around in the press to test how it polls in the public.

dynamojoe,

There’s precedent. In my home state of Florida, DeSantis has already replaced two democratically elected officials for nebulous and untried offenses. Both were democrats and both were replaced with republican appointees.

dynamojoe,

I wonder what China will do. Wargames with NK? Start supplying Russia war supplies? Increase spying in the US (like they’re not doing that already)? China tries to cultivate its appearance on the world stage but half the time ends up looking insecure and blustery.

dynamojoe,

It seems quieter than normal for now, but September is the busy month and we’re still weeks away. I think this year they’ll gather a lot of data about wind shear’s effects on storm development.

dynamojoe,

I’d rather just a “Hide Thread” button but I can’t find one.

dynamojoe,

they would almost certainly decline to hear it

I remember when Roe was “settled law”, too. They’ll hear whatever they want if it lets them achieve their political goals. Remember that at least one Justice (Thomas?) was on record basically asking for more abortion cases to get to the SC so they could decide on them. He got his wish.

dynamojoe,

Honestly I agree with his reasoning. There are people on the GOP ticket I wouldn’t support either (all of them). I wonder how Ronna is gonna wriggle out of this.

dynamojoe,

thinking shit up?

How many calories does a standard whole blood donation burn?

So I just went and donated blood again and durring the recovery period it occured to me that it takes quite a bit of work for your body to regenerate that lost blood volume and the actual blood cells. Regrowing that many cells seems like it would be fairly energetically intensive. So how many calories does producing all those...

dynamojoe,

I dunno. I usually give platelets.

dynamojoe,

I’m generally a lurker so here. I posted.

dynamojoe,

You might want to catch the series Andor on Disney+.

dynamojoe,

Universal batteries would be bad, but standardized batteries would be great. If a battery has certain dimensions and gives a certain output, and can regulate itself as to charge and discharge, it doesn’t matter what chemistry it uses or internal cells it has. We have had D, C, B, A, AA, AAA, etc., for years and manufacturers got along just fine within those specs. Removable batteries are already a thing with Gogoro scooters in Taiwan and I think at least one car brand in China.

dynamojoe,

“a” is merely an abbreviation for “aaAAAAAaaaa!”. They have to have shorthand for this common occurrence.

We should stop saying "The customer is always right" because it's not true

In the grand scheme of things, the customer may have slightly more pull than the cashier ringing up their order, but it’s the CEO and the board of directors that control the narrative. That’s why we’re getting bigger and less fuel efficient vehicles, bigger and more fattening meal portions in restaurants, and bigger less...

dynamojoe,

The trick is finding which customers are entitled idiots and un-customer them.

dynamojoe,

I got lucky. My '23 M3 base from TX must have been made on a Tuesday or something because I didn’t get the panel gaps or other issues that everyone complains about. So far it has just been an appliance-like car.

dynamojoe,

but they only did so because of the massive public outcry

Well, shit. For once the voice of the people worked and you’re still bitching about it.

dynamojoe,

I loathe being pushed to an app just because I’m on a mobile device. It’s a huge red flag to me.

dynamojoe,

It already exists. It’s called Citizens Property Insurance and I’m one of over a million subscribers to it. Every private company is at least 20% more expensive or the state could sell my policy to the private company.

dynamojoe,

Not exactly. Citizens has been around for a long time. If you want to find some of the usual GOP grift here in FL, take look at all DeSantis’ donors/college buddies/whatever that are now getting the legal work for defending the state against Disney’s lawsuits. That’s a lot of money…but that’s a separate issue from Citizens, which legitimately fills a need.

You can't uninstall this software without being forced to participate in their survey (lemmy.world)

I initially only installed “Comodo Firewall” but for some reason they also installed a “Comodo Dragon Browser”, which I did not consent to. I always choose the “advanced” installation to uncheck bloatware, but in this case there was none and when you try to uninstall the browser, they force you to participate in...

dynamojoe,

drop table feedback cascade; /it’s not you, it’s me. I don’t like you/

dynamojoe,

The redditization of Lemmy begins. Fuck Forbes and their clickbait shit.

dynamojoe,

I’m on Citizens. Every year I get a letter telling me they have the legal right to sell my policy if they find a comparable one in the private sector within 20% of what I’m paying. Every year they fail to find one. The best thing about Citizen’s is that they can’t leave the state.

dynamojoe,

A lot of them now just work through third-party houses like govdeals.com.

dynamojoe,

My autopay discount is $5 and I get about half of that back in rewards points from my credit card. I’m keeping the CC on file and chalking it up to having better protections and an extra 25 days interest-free for $2.50/mo.
