I hope Sunak, the Conservatives and the Daily Mail each get a slice of humble pie after years of their disastrous rule.
I guess that makes it a patient missile, then.

Stepping in where states are letting or even making workers suffer.

The Z Fold 6 is not very leak resistant, apparently.
Yeah, if one person is fired from the company the default thought in Japan is that person must have done something very wrong to even get to that place, as it's quite rare for fulltime salaried employees.
If a group of people are laid off, in Japanese culture that reflects very poorly on the company, suggesting that management was irresponsible to lead the company into this situation.
The passivity of regular folks is what allows fake grassroots interests to dominate the conversation on the Democratic side. Progressive people exist in the Democratic party, they aren't all Feinsteins. It's time to get the butts of people who are trying to enact change into seats of power, and let the ones who don't retire.
An official™ act.
There is a group of individuals who are attempting to gain control of Congress who would allow a certain person, if elected president carte blanche to do anything as "an official act". A good portion buys the line that this former president declassified documents just by thinking so.
There is another set of 5 or 6 individuals that have happily shown they will prioritize their own beliefs and views over judicial principles their country had maintained over the last couple centuries.
We have already seen Congress try to hold a criminal President to account. It hasn't worked yet and these rulings make it even less likely to.
Yeah, what is this? The ICE commits fraud, then blames it on the prospective students that their visas are fraudulent?
Mhm as a Canadian, the entire last week of SCOTUS rulings spells doom for your country if the people of the US allow Trump and any other federal Republican to attain power again. Lots of cause to be alarmed.
Roe v Wade from before this week was absolutely terrible. Snyder v Grants Pass was downright awful, Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo is going to have awful consequences for years to come. Trump v. USA to me is the cherry on top of this shit ruling sundae.
The best thing you can do is disseminate each of these rulings, and why they are bad to every person you know. The message for Roe is clear, as most non-crazies would rather have state governments not mess with the business in your genitals. Try and figure out a good way to explain each of the others as they are just as horrible.
Seems like a guide from someone that wants to sell 20 shirts, 12 pairs of pants, 8 pairs of shoes and 6 blazers.
As long as isn't full of tear holes, wear whatever the fuck you want.

Lol it's taken me a while to come around to MFA (I used to hate it but I've started using open source MFA apps), but my hesitation to use proprietary solutions has proved smart.
How big the front side screen was and if it was a colour display? Unless you liked the look of phone that only had LEDs showing the time on the front.
What ringtones it had (remember this was the age of $1.99 ringtones).
Speed/specs wasn't too much of a factor as much as looks. As long as it made calls, did texts, play Snake and if you could afford cellular data then receive emails and do light websurfing then it was good enough.
Oh, and in this age the smaller and more compact the phones were the better. Only with smartphones did the trend go into reverse.
How much do we have to pay to get someone to "accidentally" drop that table and all backup copies of it?
Just in time for upcoming FreeCAD 1.0, the project got a major logo refresh. To get there, the design working group organized a popularity contest. Volunteers submitted 46 designs, over 1,500 commu…

Guide (+ a bonus rant) on identifying Sysco patties from restaurants
Kevin Roberts remembers when he could get a bacon cheeseburger, fries and a drink from Five Guys for $10. But that was years ago. When the Virginia high school teacher recently visited the fast-food chain, the food alone without a beverage cost double that amount. Roberts, 38, now only gets fast foo...

Where Driving Consumes the Most of Your Life (And the Least) - CityNerd
>In 1974, Ivan Illich wrote that the typical American male spent 25% of his waking life either driving a car or working for the income required to pay for one. 50 years later, is this true? And, which cities consume the most -- and least -- of our time with driving?

Yes there are other big oligopoly chains like metro, Sobeys/Safeway, Pattison, but I think it's best to start with one major chain to see how much coordinated action can affect them.
The new early bird train is scheduled to start running May 27.
Train #641 is being introduced starting May 27th, 2024, which departs Ottawa at 4:15, Kingston at 6:15, arriving in Toronto at 8:48am, which would be useful for anyone trying to get into a Toronto downtown office at 9am.

[HDD] Lemmy crosspost - Refurbished server hard drives, 12TB for 80USD plus shipping, taxes, import fees.
Has anyone bought from here before? Looking to upgrade my NAS drives.
Costs I estimate to be typical for 1 HDD, about 120USD which is about 170CAD
For 5 HDDs, I estimate about 485USD which is about 685CAD.
Ymmv, and these drives are if you just want bulk capacity at the lowest price over all else.
Major freight railroads will have to maintain two-person crews in most circumstances under a new federal rule.

> >“As trains — many carrying hazardous material — have grown longer, crews should not be getting smaller,” said Eddie Hall, the president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen union. He praised the FRA for taking the step President Joe Biden promised. Hall said keeping two people in the cab of a locomotive is crucial now that railroads rely on longer trains that routinely stretch for miles.
In your area/country, did you have a word or phrase to describe the static white noise on a television set not tuned to a channel?
Bonus points if there's a known onomatopoeia to describe the sound.
