I second this. Try searching youtube for "slab flattening jig".

To anyone that hasn’t yet seen the movie Idiocracy, watch it now. Best documentary you’ll ever watch.

This checks out. Thank you for educating me.

For any doubters, here’s a long-form article on the subject: https://www.taxpolicycenter.org/taxvox/who-gets-tax-benefit-those-checkout-donations-0

FYI, when viewed from the voyager app the image is small unless I click on it. So depending on the app people use their experiences are different.

They charge to 80% quickly so I think anyone staying longer than about 25 minutes probably found something to do nearby such as eat at a restaurant or do some shopping. I think most people that own EVs do most of their charging at home so the only time they use chargers is on long trips and they plan their charging stop(s) to be when they’d already be needing to pee, stretch their legs, and maybe eat a quick meal.

Finally a headline that doesn’t bury the lede. Local news outlets have been using headlines that suggest the concern is his reading of profanity and not that he substituted a colleague’s name into a story about rape.

Seeing the CPI plotted over time helps to get a clearer feel for how it is changing:

https://www.bls.gov/charts/consumer-price-index/consumer-price-index-by-category-line-chart.htm

Based on that chart, things don’t look as dire as the cited “~20% since 2020” stat. Yeah, we’re all still feeling the effect but it seems that the rate has dropped into normal-ish territory. Now the questions are “How close are businesses to really feeling the hurt of the lack of cheap borrowing?” and “If/when we drop interest rates how much immediate effect will that have on inflation? How much can we drop it without really spiking inflation again?”

I recently saw another lemming call LLMs “spicy autocomplete” instead of AI which seemed appropriate given that calling it AI, while technically correct, I think leads some people to think that the LLM is intelligent. I plan to use that terminology.

Check out the Amcrest ad410.

It is not just you. Maybe people reading this will “Be the change that you want to see in the world” by posting some non US centric news there.

Edit: per other commenters, the lemmy_world community isn’t very active. Looks like !anime_titties@kbin.social is a better bet.

Note that for some reason when I subbed to that one I couldn’t see any posts but after a few hours I started to see any newly posted content. I’m guessing that has something to do with how kbin and Lemmy integrate. So if you don’t see any post when adding it just subscribe anyway and then wait a bit

Tip: If you are looking for global news without as much US content try out: !anime_titties@lemmy.world

Don't let the name put you off. It is a real news community.

A key thing about the API is that moderating gets harder when the apps that moderators use to streamline/facilitate their work suddenly stopped working. Those apps relied on the Reddit API. These were created by and for the moderator community out of necessity.

Moderators had asked Reddit for tools and when Reddit didn’t provide they built their own. Then Reddit switched off the API without offering replacement tools.

That’s likely the primary reason that Reddit’s mods left and its content took a nosedive.

Each state is different. Per this article, NE is going up by $1.50/hr to $12 this year with more raises following each year for a few more.

I miss the days where you'd find $40 12 month PS Plus subscription deals. Since the recent price hikes I've been subscriptionless and kinda miss the free games.

These are used for billing drivers when they enter an Ultra Low Emissions Zone.

Do you see the comment from user “Maalus” immediately prior to the comment that you first replied to? That’s where it was said.

If you cannot see that comment it’d be interesting to understand why. Maybe you have blocked that user so can’t see his comment but you are seeing replies to it?

This is the same GM that just bought back 10 Billion worth of its stock.

Is this what George Santos was doing? :)

This somewhat recent law might make hiding behind shell companies more difficult:

Finally a proper shower thought in this community haha.

I'm sorry that you had to go through that. Hopefully the dentist is alarmed at this failure and reflects on ways to avoid it in future procedures.

She probably saw from your eyes and expression how stressed you were. You might have looked a little "wild-eyed" to her. She barely knows you so she wouldn't know with confidence that you behave well under pressure.

I suggest that you leave a message informing your dentist of what happened here regarding insufficient pain management. You can include an apology if you want for seeming stressed.

The goal here is to inform her that she can do a more thorough job managing pain. Part of that needs to be telling her patients to speak up as soon as they begin to feel pain. I'll bet that had you told staff of the pain they'd have found a way to manage it. Probably the Dr would have popped over and dosed you with something.

Here’s a podcast where the first handful of episodes lays out what it’d look like if a civil war were to happen and why the author thinks there’s a reasonable chance that it could happen.

The 2006 video documentary “Idiocracy” covers the results of this phenomenon.

Interestingly, there are video campaign ads on YouTube for 2024 presidential candidate Dwayne Camacho.

CyberArk is a commercial product that attacks this problem space. It puts an agent process on the host next to your app. Only processes whose fingerprint matches those authorized to access a credential are allowed to fetch it. That fingerprint can be based on the host (known list of production hosts), the os user ID that owns the pid, the path to the executable for the pid, and probably a few more items.

Under that model your app just needs to know the environment that it wants (inject however you want) and the userid it wants to use. At runtime it reaches out to the local cyberark agent to obtain the password secret.

We’ve seen his lawyer go to prison before and that pattern may repeat here. We’ll just have to see whether he ends up seeing the inside of a cell along with them.

After a dramatic filibuster effort earlier this year NE changed their abortion law to a ban that starts at 12 weeks.
