[RustyCreates] Silly Jeff
There is a good show called "Friday Night Dinner" and the dad (RIP Paul Ritter) had a very similar swearing style which was quite endearing. I recommend it.

Don’t feel bad. It is impossible to see every post and it wasn’t even in this sub. It was in the dull_mens_club com. The post was fun though.
Edit: Said post is here: https://lemmy.world/post/48517371

They were making a joke (from your work/fork typo) based off a previous post here this week about forklift certification. “Fork certified” is where they were going.

My tools while I'm on the roof installing solar panels
Reply in thread
Not OP, but that’s how it is typically done. The footing bracket might have a seal on it and the fastener should have another so everything gets watertight. I think there are newer mounting styles that try not to put holes in the roof, but I am unsure how they work. Very much depends on the roof type too.

After updating CachyOS, I am unable to play games as easily as before. How do I fix it?

They do not work nearly as well. I’ve tried.

Thank you for the info. It is encouraging though I did plan on using the fossify suite as well.
I try and pay attention on these threads and have been fleshing this GOS phone out, but how does one obtain a banking app without the play store? I wouldn’t think you’d find an apk for my regional CU anywhere but the play store. Am I wrong? If I log into the play store, then it “compromises” my privacy, no? Or is there some way to fence off or sandbox things? Apologies for the bother of so many questions, but do appreciate the education.
Edit: Shit, too many questions.

I’ve been on the edge of switching for a bit, but am mildly apprehensive. I will be okay without many of the apps except astronomy. Regarding texting, I’ve tried pressing many of my text contacts to signal, but many persist in normal iOS. Perhaps this is a stupid question, but does all that normal communication just cut over okay? I know signal will. Most importantly I’ve not tied my GOS phone to the googs and am trying not to. Anyhow my ignorance is making me too chicken to transfer my eSIM away from my working phone.

I just got fork truck certification at work.
Glad to hear it and congratulations!
You must watch the obligatory forklift safety video hosted by Klaus:

And you’ll also need to learn how to pick up a dime with the forklift. I’ve won money with that trick.

I gotta think Palantir and probably the Russians and others already have this data.

White House Orders NASA to Destroy Important Satellite that Collects Climate Data

Yes, but it makes perfect sabotage sense from a saboteur's perspective.

Senator vows to go to El Salvador if Trump administration doesn’t return Maryland man
Sen. Chris Van Hollen said Monday morning that he would take matters into his own hands later this week. Van Hollen, a Democrat representing Maryland, said in a statement that he had requested a meeting with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, who is visiting the White House on Monday, to discuss Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s release from an El Salvador mega-prison. And if Abrego Garcia, a 29-year-old Prince George’s County father, isn’t back by midweek, Van Hollen said he plans to travel to El Salvador “to check on his condition and discuss his release.”
