Ah, the good old days of the internet. Yes, I miss them. There are still a few around, like the Linux Mint forum, and some other tech-related ones. But it used to be you could find any topic you were interested in and your account and username were specific to it, and they were separate domains (in the normal, non-tech sense of the word). So you might show one aspect of your personality in one forum and a different aspect in a different kind of forum. Just like you would with different friend or acquaintance groups.

An instant pot is a great investment. Tons of recipes online, so much easier and faster than tending to something on the stovetop, you don’t have to soak the beans, etc.

Now that he knows the vote is going to go against him, time for plan B. He can’t let it appear that Congress would actually defy him so he has to “call for” it to happen so they still appear to be obeying him.

I’d be surprised if his minions in charge of the DOJ haven’t already destroyed anything damaging to him as soon as they could get hold of it, but in any case we know they have a plan in place for DOJ to not release anything bad for him.

The regime: “We don’t just want to withhold food aid, we want to threaten to withhold it, then give it to them but a week late, but then snatch it right back out of their hands before they get a chance to spend it. That makes the high we get off being cruel that much better!”

We could just get rid of Internet 2.0 - that’s when the tech broligarchs took over the beautiful original internet and make it into a bunch of surveillance capitalist walled gardens with psyop addictive algorithms that turned people into ad-consumption cash cows.

Leaving the infrastructure in place for useful, non society-destroying uses would avoid throwing the baby out with the filthy bathwater.

They probably use an AI to go through and add links to key phrases.

I know. I remember because I was a school kid at the time. A couple of kids got hit by a car and it was a big story that kids shouldn’t be walking to school in the dark, so people turned against the idea. Yes it’s true–most kids walked to school back then. :) I think very few do any more, so I doubt that would be such a big point of contention these days.

Also they didn’t change them at the normal time in the fall when people were used to it, they suddenly changed them in the middle of winter so the change from light to dark in the mornings was more dramatic. The problem is that days are just short in the winter and in the northern states even changing the clock back to ST doesn’t magically make it light in the mornings.

I think you’re right that staying on standard time would be a little bit better than staying on daylight time (for that reason), but again I don’t care which one they choose and some of us think the best compromise would be to change the clocks by only half an hour and leave them there.

I dunno, the two of you here are the first ones I’ve seen that have also suggested or like the idea, most people just laugh like it’s a joke.

Maybe try to make a short viral video about the idea to build support?

1. solves all the complaints I’ve heard about which end of the day the daylight is shifted to, because it meets in the middle like you say.

2. There are other countries offset by a half hour so it’s not unreasonable in that regard.

3. It won’t be as hard to adjust to as a full hour and only has to be done one final time.

If States aren’t allowed to change their clock time, they could instead designate that standard work/business and school hours will shift to an hour later during DST (or I guess vice versa if they want to go the other way). That way everyone is still getting up and going to bed at the same actual time, even though it’s at a different clock time.

This is the solution I mention every year, but so far no one has listened. :) It would solve all the complaints from both sides of which one to choose.

I don’t even care which they choose at this point, ST or DT.

Yep! I watched it multiple times. It both makes me feel good and makes me cry at the same time.

Thanks, that’s amazing.

He has to report to the judge every day at 5:45 and go over every use of force that day, along with providing the body cam footage, and her ruling will depend on what happened not violating her orders. THAT is what will fix things.

The whole article is really good. She made it very clear she’s not going to let him get away with his shit.

The judge was being sarcastic.

Thank you, Judge Ellis, and please stay safe.

As an American, I say Canada should retaliate by reinstating the Digital Services tax which will cost Google, Amazon, et al, billions. See how fast trumplestiltskin changes what’s left of his mind then.

Gpodder has been around for ages and can do what you’re looking for. It’s probably in your distro’s repository.

Spanish wordplay: ¿Por qué está feliz la escoba? Porque siempre barriendo.

Translation: Why is the broom happy? Because it’s always sweeping (barriendo = sweeping, sounds like va riendo = goes around laughing)

OK, but at least one’s teeth are strong and healthy.
