I just bought a fridge after my 15 year old one shit out. Let me tell you, trying to find a decently sized, dumb fridge with an ice and water dispenser is like finding the holy grail.

Samsung has evidently partnered with some timelords to get over 30 cu ft of fridge space in a 70"tall frame - including their door sized tablet.

Bosch has the next biggest but locks stuff behind an smart app. Hell, even LG has smart features to help you with your ice maker that will probably either be DOA or will break in a year.

I finally found a Whirlpool that isn’t smart and has a decent sized fridge, but it was a struggle.

It skips over all the advertising slop and stories

That’s what ad block and a scroll wheel are for.

I’ve started to add date limits to my web queries for things that don’t require current information like recipes.

No I do not want to see your AI slop recipe for tomato sandwiches “author” from 2025, I’ll go with a shitty web blog from 2021 thank you very much.

That’s what I did for my wedding - shoutcast with a requests plugin so the wedding party and guests could choose what songs to play.

when has slacktivism ever changed the minds

Hey, don’t you remember how changing your Twitter profile picture to have a green overlay encouraged the Arab Spring to bring lasting democracy all over the Middle East?!? /s

As a counter point, the US would have to re-vote for the 14th Amendment.

As a counter counter point also the 2nd.

You know, I think I like the established way of doing amendments - passes by Congress and a plurality of the states.

The official meshtastic app has a map view that shows all known nodes.

Yep, that can be normal. For my city, the local group has a private (but free to join) channel that’s a bit more active.

Do a web search for meshtastic and your city and see if one pops up.

It is cool! The barrier to entry is relatively low. The only thing to really worry about is:

1. What band/frequency is appropriate for you country.
2. Are there others around to which you can connect?

If there’s not a lot of people around it’s not the end of the world. Nodes can connect over the Internet via MQTT servers. Yes, this defeats the purpose of having an offline/decentralized communication platform, but it is a good stop gap until more nodes are put up.

Here’s a sample of what I can see in a somewhat large-ish Midwest City in the US (there’s about 63 nodes I can reach by hopping through relays).

There was a site I found in highschool around 1998 - the paradigm of pessimism.

Full of dark humor and anti-jokes, in glorious web 1.0 - that site had a huge impact on my humor. I’ve never been able to find it again. Just a random site someone hosted somewhere on the Internet - no scams, no paywalls, just a bunch of weird humor.

Danger noodle! My dad had a corn snake as a classroom pet when he taught 6th grade in the '90s.

Yup!

I have strongly debated getting some of their coffee for my very racist father in law, just to see his head explode when he reads the back.

Hey! Those are better than mine which just end up looking like dicks.

Someone posted a screenshot from 4chan where they were talking about how to fake submissions… 😠

Get better coffee. Not grocery store brand or Starbucks. Check the roast date - keep it within the past two weeks. Grind your own, don’t buy pre-ground.

Try to go with things like light roast, washed processed - more “speciality”.

I highly recommend cxffeeblack - I use their Guji Mane for espresso and it’s amazing.

If birthright citizenship can be “blocked” by an executive order and now thanks to SCOTUS, there can’t be a national injunction, the next democrat president better fucking executive order gun control and a whole slew of things.

I want to know the special discount - is it a reduction in price or an increase.

Honestly? This is a great, low stakes way of letting him get the feel for the game without feeling like he’s not “helping”.

I’ve been playing Gravity Rush from the PS Vita. I went in blind and have been enjoying it so far. I can’t get motion controls to work, but that hasn’t stopped me yet.
