Bullshit. You can’t compare Catholic leadership to MAGAts. They may be pretty conservative but by and large are horrified by this administration.
This is not “both conservatives are the same”
Yeah but it’s back to the “good ole boy”network here. Not excusing the guy but there are assholes everywhere. However it t makes a huge difference whether their behavior is acceptable or not.
I like to believe that in most places people would be horrified and he would have immediately been discouraged/cesured/sanctioned and never do that again
TIL; abyssal can be a synonym of abysmal
I wanted to comment that I found the misspelling amusing, but never knew they could be synonyms. That being said, not in this case: of the depths is different from Great misery
I actually don’t remember if those ancient kindles had WiFi or if you’d need to sideload stuff. At the time they were not unusable but became a lot less convenient and the writing was on the wall
I wasn’t too upset with upgrading because the device had lasted a lot of years for personal electronics and the technology had greatly improved
I know we all fans of Libby and other library sources here, but that was part of the problem. At least at my library, you have a limited number of ebooks out at once and only for two weeks each. While that doesn’t seem like a hardship, it did mean that on a vacation I’d generally need to shuffle what books I had and I couldn’t guarantee to ever be on WiFi
I can really only compare to Reddit and find the dedicated generally better
But those outliers are a doozy. I don’t recall even wanting to block anyone on Reddit but have blocked at least half a dozen here. Just earlier today I had to because we were enjoying a nice discussion, then someone stumbled in saying they’ve debated politics with me, starts attacking, trying to start an argument over something completely unrelated ….. Reddit had plenty of trolls but I never encountered anyone there who followed me around to be an asshole.
So on the one hand the capability of blocking anyone is a great way to stop seeing the most toxic part of the fediverse, but on the other hand there’s got to be a more permanent solution
Maybe Chicago. It’s been years: I used to like going once or twice a year and convinced my ex we had to do it for the kids
Edit: or maybe that Billy Joel show
Pumpkin seeds? Cool
I recently got both hemp hearts and pumpkin seeds, and have no idea what to do with either
I still remember when my state required large pickups to have commercial licenses and have commercial insurance. Adding a few extra hoops to jump through could be similar to abolishing pickups while still allowing reasonable exceptions, maybe requiring extra drivers training
I know it could be personal bias but a lot of pickup drivers don’t seem capable of staying in their lane, taking a turn, maneuver in a parking lot. We need to recognize these are huge vehicles and require a little extra skill to drive.
And they should lose that license if they leave the trailer hitch in while they’re parking over a sidewalk
Yeah these hit me more than anything else. Not just that I’m attu ed to science but the damage to our country’s future far outweighs anything else.
Corruption can be prosecuted, racism can be condemned, even climate change just makes things worse for a few years longer and we’ll have to figure out how to deal, constitutional violations can be corrected with a new Congress, human rights can be reclaimed …. It’ll never be justice but it can be reversed.
Losing science may never be reversible. Science that drives our technology, our medicine, the entire huge research industry. As scientists are driven away, that’s a very long trail of technology, medicine, research done elsewhere, generations of children and students looking elsewhere
Actually I think of losing science like climate tipping points. If climate change were simply change, we could adapt and reverse. It would be foolish to do that intentionally do ourselves but we could deal with it. But crossing climate tipping points are a much bigger deal, much harder to adapt and likely never reversible
Dry? Plain? Flavorless? Even if you start with good bread with flavor, toasting it takes that flavor away. But I’m not going to judge if you want my toast. Dry, plain, flavorless toast with nothing on it. Enjoy!
Yeah none of that, but one of my kids is a pretty serious weightlifter, so I need some serious equipment for when they’re home from school for the summer.
And an exercycle for cardio when the weather isn’t good
Started with the cycle: a high end machine for dirt cheap off Marketplace. Then dumbbells (except they’re only up to 30 lbs and he uses higher). Most recently found a deal on an Olympic bar and plates. Now comes the hard part: benches and racks, and I’m running out of time to find them on Marketplace
I just got an Airthings Radon monitor, and the integration with HA went smoothly. As a starting dashboard I have a simple card displaying sensor values.
But I let myself get carried away and got the one with the most sensors. So expected to see history graphs so I can look at trends or events, but it never occurred to me they were all different units and scales. HA wants to create many charts, which is less easy to read.
Does anyone have dashboard ideas on how to display these?
I found this online and tried it tonight. It turned out amazing, and photogenic!
The only catch was it called for pan searing the salmon 8-10 minutes but mine took over 20
Rice was just a rice cooker. I used broth instead of water and glopped in some lemon juice when it was ready
This is one of my last “good” meals before my youngest moves out to college, so it was a big deal to turn out so well.
There’s the middle ground of enough bishops get fired to bring the rest inline.
