That is fucking hilarious, esp the cell service requirement for you to, you know, open and shut the doors on the vehicle.

Every headache you run into will build a few more skills as you fix it, but if you are like me, you won’t run into many more than you already have. I dropped windows for good over a year ago and changed distorts a few times but never looked back.

Thanks for sharing your experience!

These fucking headlines.

Hey LA Times, how about

“Air Force conducts routine unarmed test launch of ballistic missile”

or something similar that doesn’t make me panic and think “wtf have these circus clowns done now?” Plenty of “shit-your-pants” scary headlines happening just now, no need to make up new ones just for the clicks.

While fentanyl is deadly serious, the “crisis” of it flowing over the US border is the made-up emergency on which Trump bases his legitimate authority to levy these tariffs. Without an emergency he would have no legal basis to fuck around like this without violating our trade agreements (which he signed last time around), so it’s part of the narrative, regardless of any amount of truth to it.

The “crisis” will end only when they determine it is no longer useful to pursue these tactics and switch to some other type of fuckery. It’s just as likely that he will declare them resolved as a face-saving measure so he can stop the bleeding at home. Art of the deal!

Good on him!

Just to clarify, he was arrested for disrupting the meeting after he walked onto the stage, a knowing act of civil disobedience on his part. The headline leaves out enough detail to imply that he was arrested for what he said.

Rolled over so fast it’s like he’d been just waiting for a reason to ban content he didn’t like.

This is such bullshit. Pointless manipulation of product offerings to hide the true cost, and thereby manipulate prices. I’ve been doing paper towel math like this for years and it drives me nuts. Grocery stores’ profit model is now almost entirely based on price manipulation and nothing else.

This is 100% the plan. It’s a ‘when’ at this point, not an ‘if’, despite the extraordinary restraint displayed when dealing with these fuckwits to date.

That is fucking hilarious. What a child.

This is beautiful.

“a single candy bar–sized omnivitamin”. 😂

Just the most punchable face.

Fuck yeah!

Let’s see them deliver on those promised moderation tools by end of month. If they can’t or won’t hit that milestone then I have little faith in them doing anything else. (Not that I have any faith in them any more, just, you know.)

I fucking hate Adobe.

Wow, excellent breakdown and very thorough. I would not have expected any less from these shitbags - evil wrapped in incompetence.

Not sure if your device supports connection to your public library, but I have been reading literally hundreds of books since Covid on my iPhone using Libby at first, and now the Palace Project. I still purchase the odd book if it’s one I know I will read repeatedly but I haven’t bought an ebook in some time due to using the library.

Good list, btw. I loved the Arkady Martine books. You might want to try Gideon the Ninth and the sequels.

The most galling part of it all for me is knowing that it’s all political theatre of the worst kind. I feel like we’re all just playing our parts while the unrelenting assholes of the UCP use the cover provided by this misdirection to further their tear down of our health care system and enrichment of their petro-buddies. The maga stuff is a perfect buffet line of sewage from which this government carefully selects their next target to generate more outrage and keep Albertans distracted. Fuckers.

This is beautiful. Is there a lemmy version of r/accidentalrenaissance?

Good article, thanks for posting.

I had heard that Canada was a lentil powerhouse, so I set about finding a supply of black beluga lentils locally. (These are like the French ‘lentils de puy’ that stay whole when cooked and have a great texture - quite expensive when imported from France.) I found a shop in a farming community about an hour away, but when I got there I found I was buying their last 2 bags, and that they had discontinued that product. I’m stocked up now but don’t know if I’ll be able to get them again, despite being next door to Saskatchewan here in Alberta.

It’s a great example of the importance of supply chains - abundant resource relatively nearby, but largely unavailable nevertheless.

Go Greenland!!! This makes me so happy.
