Funny but I dunno if I buy it tbh, using an EpiPen alone is a medical emergency requiring medical attention. It’s not something you can just shake off.

Holy shit, this guy actually thinks that women marginalize themselves. The mental gymnastics behind that thinking are insane.

I use a fake name at restaurants and fast food, and if I know something is coming via FedEx or UPS, I also use a fake name for that too. Unfortunately USPS will only deliver packages to the listed names at your address, or I would use a fake name for everything.

Do you choose to use roads? Do you choose to shower? Do you choose to use power? Do you choose to use sewer? Do you choose to use public parks? Do you choose to use libraries? Do you choose to use anything subsidized by the government?

Then you’re choosing to pay for it. Million dollar infrastructure projects cannot be funded without taxes. It’s better if the load is balanced. This is why billionaires should be footing the majority of the bill, so you don’t have to cover their share. You should reframe your question to: why do billionaires steal money from us by not paying their fair share?

I remember about a year ago, people, even here on Lemmy, were defending Starlink (mostly related to its effect on ground based astronomy) and arguing that the pros of the service clearly outweighed the cons. Is that still something that people believe?

We should have been funneling that money into expanding municipal fiber instead. It would have cost less, had less emissions, much less latency and much more bandwidth. If we genuinely need satellite coverage for remote areas, why are we handing billions to private companies instead of building public satellite networks? Why are we trying to escape the problems of shitty private telecom by turning to shitty private telecom?

Of course, we don’t live in a perfect world where our government is competent enough to not fall to corruption, and I don’t deny that Starlink has helped some people get connected that otherwise would never have fiber access due to remoteness or geography. But I guess my point is that many more people in general would have much more reliable internet access if it weren’t for the government funneling money to private companies for inferior service (such as Comcast and Starlink).

I’m lucky in the sense that it didn’t prevent my county from continuing expansion, and my neighborhood now has cheap & reliable public fiber available. But many weren’t so lucky, and instead have their taxes being sent to Musk for a slow service that they can’t afford anyway.

I’m not sure about the office, but I’ve slept in my car on road trips and during evacuations. It’s super uncomfortable, so maybe that’s the demographic that they’re trying to reach?

It’s great on the outside of a grilled cheese.

Always save as RAW

I love e-ink for informational displays around the house. If they were cheaper, there’d be one in every room driven by an ESP32.

How did you go about setting it up on the highest ridge in your area? I’ve got a lot of hills/mountains in mine but most of it is owned by someone or public land like parks. I would love to do something like that, though.

Are you doing a “well, akshully” here while also complaining about that very behavior?

You’re not educating anyone, you’re just being hostile for no reason.

Did GFCI not allow for it?

megacolon

slightly off topic but the first time I got “stuck” in a black hole on SpaceEngine was scary as fuck

who cares

Depends on the meat, if it’s beef, I don’t. If it’s poultry or pork, yes, because I don’t trust myself enough to not get food poisoning.

Does commercial drone flying pay well? I’ve been thinking about getting my part 107, mostly for wikipedia and OSM contributions though.

I want to mention this disclaimer, though: right now, at least in tech roles, it’s currently very difficult to actually land one of these jobs. Listings are getting hundreds of applicants per hour on some occasions. There’s a lot of competition because of recent return to office mandates and layoffs, and it might be awhile before that changes.

Nope, I deleted my account in 2016ish during that shit show.
