This is absolutely absurd. People have a right to a lawful assembly.

Anyone supporting this guy is insane. Literally trying to become an emperor

Can I just add a different perspective on this?

My dad is really old (like early baby-boomers), and I am basically the in-family tech support when the home computer starts acting strange.

Well, right after google rolled out this update, my dad clicked on what he thought was an online shopping link. It was actually an ad for a toolbar add-on. Queue Cue like 6+ hours trying to uninstall that add-on and the bundled software.

I never had to worry about that in the past with him because I had u-block origin installed. Now I need to find something else that can run quietly in the background. And probably a better antivirus.

Negotiations without security assurances*

This is the prime stickler with the USA-Ukraine deal that has been discussed on the news

As scary as the lockdown was, it was an interesting year of protests for BLM and labor movements. Once everyone had a lot of time on their hands, they started to take action on import topics.

Now I feel like most people are back to the grind, and as a whole we don't have the time to quickly make changes we want to see

This is going to be lemmy history. Omg that was so funny

Was really exciting seeing ferrari move up through the field towards the top 3. If that safety car hadn't been called, ferrari could've gone for soft tires and put pressure to get both drivers on the podium

Hopefully ferrari improves on this and keeps the momentum going

And the work-life balance is atrocious.

When I started, my advisor told me to not think of myself as an employee, but as a "researcher". IE I don't get to clock out, my life revolved around learning/reseaching

This is jury tampering. As long as violence is not involved, it is only a misdemeanor punishable by a $1000 fine in my state

Frankly, who cares? If you don't want to see or participate in tankie propoganda, then don't. People point out that lemmy.ml is the hub for a lot of communities, so it isn't reasonable to switch to another instance. And then they bring up communities like ![email protected] Guess what, Linux isn't meant to be a hub for political discourse, and for the most part, it isn't. Use lemmy.ml how you want to use it, and if you want to participate in other political leanings, go to a different instance. No one is really stopping you, and that's the whole idea of the fediverse. And there really isn't any value lost, because this isn't a "choose one and only one" situation. You've got all of the fediverse at your fingertips

So this came off a bit abrasive. But the point I want to convey is that if you want to have deep/heated political discourse, either do that on a community (and instance) suitable for it, or use an account specifically for political discussion. I think it helps everyone. The mods can referee communities with more clear boundaries, the lurkers/users don't need to worry about political debates when looking up tech support or whatever, and you (the reader/political dissident) can still enjoy your discussions with less worry about being randomly banned.

Honestly looks like it was the correct training response

I am struggling to find a source, but the tradeoff between road and railways scales with congestion. The infrastructure needed for moving 1000 trucks per hour on a road is much more expensive than 1 truck per hour. Rails, however, scale much more easily, as the freightline is typically closely managed already.

Getting a green card, even after marriage, typically takes 6 months at a minimum. If they started the process now, she could still be deported within Trump's 100 days

A big consumer in the fresh water market is agriculture. Whenever articles talk about demand exceeding freshwater supplies, it's referring to agriculture demand, which usually draw from dams, rivers, or lakes.

City water treatmant plants also usually start with pulling water from a river or water reservoir.

The costs with these consumers suddenly spinning up a saltwater or other advanced purification plant, that could perhaps function without a large freshwater reservoir, is prohibitively expensive. Especially for developing countries, where agriculture could be a large part of the economy

Zelda botw. Lots of piano mixes on youtube

I think this is the best one. It's a real, enjoyable gift recommendation that doesn't sidestep the parent's concerns about their kid

True, but in this case, I originally posted this with a paraphrased title. It's fixed now

That's the way it works? Starting out, entry level job? Get entry level resposibilty, and entry level pay. Same for midlevel, and senior positions. But this breaks down once you get to the executives. It seems like the less experience you have, better pay

I was curious how best to cut down on our usage, if we'd be aggressive, how long we could make our oil last.

From the EPA, seems the like roughly 40% of an oil barrel ends up being used to create gasoline source. The transportation sector accounts to 2/3 of our total oil consumption. In the transportation sector, roughly 54% of energy is used just for passenger cars. source

If everyone in the world stopped driving gasoline cars and switched to a 100% renewable option, we would only cut our oil production by about 36%. That changes the timeline from 50 years to 78 years.

Pretty saddening to think about. Hopefully some technology improvements for oil recycling come around quickly

I mean, it is a possibility. The current swing states (28 Oct) are AZ, GA, NV, NC, PA, WI, and MI, based on NYTimes polls. If Kamala only wins WI, NV, (NC or GA), and AZ, then both candidates end up with 268 electoral votes, and congress chooses the president.

Another option is kamala wins AZ, NC, and GA.

Doing some quick math, that's a 2.4% chance of happening
