Both. In fact a mix that one might use for a meatball is excellent. Beef, veal, and pork spiced with some rice as a breadcrumb kinda thing.

elscallr,

I think they had to drop split screen from the Series S, at least for now.

elscallr,

What about the FBI and the airforce bombing black neighborhoods in 1985? Like literally bombing them. Was that the kind of top down governance you want?

elscallr,

Well it is now and I want more pictures

elscallr,

I think you should give Gizmo a bite.

elscallr,

I wouldn't compare the two. I don't think they're for the same purpose.

Get a cheap APC battery backup, for a little over $100 you can get a 1000VA backup that'll keep your printer running for a few hours through an outage.

"man the army sucks, better run to the place with concentration camps"

The fuck?

elscallr,

If you're assuming it's trashed anyway may as well try to fix it.

elscallr,

That's his dedicated staircase and you're just jealous you're not allowed to use it.

elscallr,

He takes his job very seriously.

My girl rubs her nose on my hand and she's pushing 3. It's adorable.

Trying to find a modern alternative to my emacs workflow (kbin.social)

I've been using emacs since 2010. I use doom emacs now, but I have written my own overcomplicated config at one point in the past. I've grown used to it, but sometimes when emacs chokes on some input due to its single threaded nature I have time to wonder if there's something better for me out there....

elscallr,

You might check out vim or neovim. It ticks all the boxes but the "native gui" which just becomes your terminal window.

elscallr,

You let him up there immediately!

Twitter-turned-X CEO Linda Yaccarino working to win back brands on Elon Musk's platform (apnews.com)

NEW YORK (AP) — The new CEO of the company formerly known as Twitter says she’s spent much of the past eight weeks trying to get big brands back and advertising on the social media platform that’s been in upheaval since it was bought last year by Elon Musk.

He said his boss ordered him to stop investigating Giuliani and the Trump White House.

Someone is covering their ass in case Trump is reelected and that person needs to be named. Now.

elscallr,

I'm absolutely loving it. I love that I can pace the game myself thanks to the turn based design, that my actions have consequences, that it's a proper role playing game.

I'm about 30 hours in and it's fantastic.

Hopes Dashed As LK-99 Confirmed Not To Be A Room-Temperature Superconductor (www.iflscience.com)

After a few intense weeks of speculation and drama, more and more labs have been able to recreate LK-99, also known as modified lead-apatite. The material was touted as the first-ever room-temperature ambient pressure superconductor, a claim that was met with healthy skepticism and excitement. After all, extraordinary claims...

elscallr,

That sounds like there's maybe variables not taken into consideration.

Tbh that's the hopium speaking but I've taken a big dose of it.

How do I find / search for magazines? (kbin.social)

Brand new to KBIN n Fedivers concept in general. Am looking to find a magazine for friendship / pen pals / friendship advice. But I realize I've no idea how to look and or search for that community. Would anyone please point me in the right direction and/or teach me how to browse look for magazines?...

elscallr,

Click the hamburger menu on the left, click Magazines, there's a search at the top.

Or just go straight to the page: https://kbin.social/magazines

elscallr,

You might want https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]

As for the question of Threads vs Posts I'm not sure, but I think it has something to do with content federated from other types of platforms like Mastodon instances.

elscallr,

Are you using fabric softener? That makes your towel less absorbent. If you're using detergent with built in softener it'll do the same.

Wash your towels with a cup of vinegar to remove the softener.

elscallr,

Oh my god

elscallr,

I'm hoping talklittle (rif dev) either switches gears and does rif for lemmy or maybe releases the source code so the community can do so. I'd happily help them port it.

[News] Wisconsin lawsuit asks new liberal-controlled Supreme Court to toss Republican-drawn maps (apnews.com)

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A lawsuit filed Wednesday asks Wisconsin’s newly liberal-controlled state Supreme Court to throw out Republican-drawn legislative maps as unconstitutional, the latest legal challenge of many nationwide that could upset political boundary lines before the 2024 election....

elscallr,

At that point the courts are wrong. The check the that court has on the legislature has is to say something isn't Constitutional, but that's supposed to be a death knell. If it's just ignored, if the Court is just ignored, then there's really nothing they can do. I'm talking about SCOTUS, and Ohio largely modeled their system of the (at the time) emerging federal one. Ohio citizens are apparently ok with what their legislature is doing.

elscallr,

He might prefer that to being thrown in jail. Either way we win.

elscallr,

It's like gambling on a stock. You can buy in on the way up and as long as you bail at the right time you can come out on top. Stay just a little too long, though, and you'll come away worse than you started.

elscallr,

Well.. me, I guess. I've made about a hundred thousand, here or there, but I'll admit I'm an outlier most likely.

elscallr,

My Hue bulbs cost like $15 but god damn I love them. Every ceiling fan in my house is now dimmable from my phone. My game room has lights that I can change the colors of to make my DnD games more immersive. And since they're LED they'll probably last for ages.

elscallr,

Check the enclosures. LED lights have controller boards that have to be cooled, lest they burn up. Some enclosures are just not compatible with LED bulbs or you may need a different style. You might consider halogen. They're still incandescent but far more energy efficient and, unlike CFLs, they don't require s hazmat suit to clean up when they break.

That said, CFLs are pretty awesome little feats of engineering too.

Check out the Technology Connections YouTube page. Dude has a few videos on lighting you might benefit from having watched.

elscallr,

It made it a lot easier for me to sleep, too. Being able to go from "lightly lit and more cool" to "very little but quite warm" light about an hour before bed helps my brain figure out that sleeping should be done at night.

elscallr,

I stuck a tablet on the wall using Command Strips and it just stays plugged in, in case I want to change the lighting but my phone is across the room.

elscallr,

Most likely the dude just created a shit ton of Magazines that have 0 users

elscallr,

That's good to hear. I'm still suspicious of anything that sounds like room temperature superconductivity but it's nice to know the jury's still out and there's maybe hope.

elscallr,

Well Venus already has a runaway greenhouse gas problem, so we're ok there.

elscallr,

I think it's a lot of fun that these companies are developing ICBMs under the guise of space programs.

elscallr,

I get what you're saying but I'm not sure it really works that way on the fediverse... Could be convinced either way, though.

elscallr,

Whoever made that needs to go play in traffic. Pretentious ass shit.

elscallr,

So would it not be useful to attack this a different way?

Something that you can upload files to that triggers a job that sends it to a slicing machine, or something like that?

What I mean to say is have you thought of skinning this cat any other way?

News: Sen. Elizabeth Warren wants to build a new agency to police Big Tech (www.theverge.com)

The bill, sponsored by Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC), would create a new agency called the Digital Consumer Protection Commission that would be empowered to go after giant tech firms for a slew of anti-competitive behaviors and failing to protect consumer privacy.

elscallr,

I don't trust a bunch of crusty trust fund relics to regulate anything. You have to actually understand the technology to not make an absolute shit show of it, and they don't.

elscallr,

The world's biggest store is Walmart, the world's biggest cdn is Akamai, and the world's biggest logistics network is DHL.

They can give away the data with the only intent being market share.

This is an excellent blep, Scooty is a pro to be sure.

You ever seen a camel? It's a horse that's been designed by a committee. Democratically run things don't accomplish shit because you can never get groups of people to agree on anything.

elscallr,

No reason to be that way, we were having a nice conversation.

elscallr,

I'm sorry, I took this the wrong way:

Go figure! People with different personal priorities existing! What a world!

elscallr,

They might be good at being camels, but they're terrible horses. And if you've ever tried to lead a group of more than a handful of people, you'd know they can never agree on shit. Someone has to make the call.
