This video helped me understand it a bit more. Basically the condition is that there’s not an immediate replacement for oil in the things that use it and that usage of oil is not going to drop by 20% to cover the reduction in the supply. Since oil is an inelastic product and we can’t significantly reduce the consumption in response to higher prices in the short term, this causes a more steep increase in price to balance the supply/demand.

I always read it for the articles

Seriously this. The success of a public service shouldn’t be how much revenue is generated or shareholder value is gained. We as a society are the shareholders and deserve infrastructure that works for us. Corporations have pushed the idea that lower taxes is better, but when you have to spend more to a company to get basic necessities, you’re not really coming out on top buddy.

FWIW, if you suspect your machine has been compromised, the binaries for common tools like ps and top shouldn’t be relied upon since those probably were tampered with to hide the malicious program from the output. At that point, you’d probably want to check each running process manually under /proc/.

Relevant XKCD https://xkcd.com/2501/

Doordash support is absolutely the worst. My credit card gives me free credits towards Doordash every month, but for some reason I can’t use it, and calling doordash and speaking with support is a nightmare. I have been given ever excuse possible about what the problem is, without any effort taken to actually address it.

I don’t necessarily blame the support agents, they just don’t seem to have any ability or knowledge to actually look into account level issues, which is a company issue. Trying to debug the issue, you start to notice a lot of other weird things with the app and their processes which seem like things are held together with shoestrings behind the scenes. At this point I have just given up, since I felt like I spent more effort on the phone with their support than the credits are actually worth.

There are plenty of python libraries which have compiled components, such as pandas, which is compiled on install via pip install. Some package managers have precompiled binaries, but you would need to make sure you have the right version for the project.

My thoughts exactly, can’t weigh an opinion on the quality unless I see it for myself.

That would probably result in the whole agreement being ignored, and would likely result in court cases where Fifa wins a settlement (paid for by tax dollars) if the state doesn’t uphold a contract. Also reputational damage to the state that contracts aren’t honored. IMO this is the only option that doesn’t result in the tax payers to foot the bill, so i commend her on pushing back on Fifa over this.

FTA, the quote from the governor:

“Our administration inherited an agreement where Fifa is providing $0 for transportation to the World Cup. Zero. That leaves New Jersey Transit with a $48m to safely get 40,000 fans to and from every game. At the same time, Fifa is making $11bn off of this World Cup, and charging fans up to $10,000 for a single ticket for the final. I won’t stick New Jersey commuters for that tab for years to come, that’s not fair. So here’s the bottom line: Fifa should pay for the rides, but if they don’t I’m not going to let New Jersey commuters get taken for one.”

I guess I’m just too familiar with the shape of Virginia? The hole where West Virginia broke off gives it away too.

Kentucky looks like fried chicken, that’s how I always remember it

I don’t see how it could federate unless the other lemmy instances are on I2P also. This seems more like an isolated/standalone idea for an instance

IMO, you can only be considered a fan if you have one or more blades that are angled in such a way so that they push air in one direction to create a current of air for cooling or ventilation.

On the bright side, they’re unlikely to see a penny from it, and have incurred lawyer costs and time.

They don’t even bother to lie badly anymore. I suppose that’s the final humiliation.

Just like Michael Jordan said: “Republicans buy sneakers, too.”

that’s why I’m so fucking confused

i could see a situation where a host that only speaks IPv4 would need to add my IP to an allow list, and therefore I would need to check what IPv4 address I appear as, even though I am running IPv6.
