While I'm definitely one to get mildly irritated at the phrasing (and am even more irritated by "fur babies" lol), I'm really bothered by people excusing their own rudeness - right up there with saying "no offense" right before being deliberately offensive. Like if you don't want to yuck my yum or cause offense then why are you about to do it anyway?

I wonder if an argument could be made that birthdate is a component of your genetic information including family medical history? It is also potentially age discrimination?

I wouldn't date any of those boring women

If a good looking guy comes along and he listens to Rogan, she won't care at all.

If you think that, I get the feeling if a good looking woman came along you wouldn't care at all if she was "boring". But go ahead and keep virtue signaling on how picky you are while also assuming women aren't.

It's the New York Post, temperature would be a chilly 45F for their American audience

Thank you for sharing!

This is fantastic, while having them obviously in drag is delicious, it would be even more stark if some of them present as traditional male too and really bring the point home.

Thank you, my pedantic friend. (I say this because I'm often the one making the comment and getting the eyerolls)

For sure! My community is served by a volunteer department and I joined a couple years ago, definitely a rewarding experience. Now not only have I gotten to sit in a truck, but I drive them, have learned all sorts of cool tools like the jaws of life and get to work with a great group of people serving our community.

You don't need to be young and fit either (I'm not!), there's a job for everyone. Anyone who's interested should definitely check out their local department. Most have active Facebook pages sharing updates and their website should have info on how to learn more about joining.

To be fair, it could have fully driven itself into the train: "fully self driving" <> "fully safe driving" /s

Well, that is the point of malicious compliance isn't it? So long as op's giving them what they asked for, right?

Framework 17 owner here, they have also partnered with Ubuntu and Fedora as official distros, this is just expanding the ecosystem. They also have a robust and well supported set of communities for other distros and often have their support engineers participate there.

Yeah, you don't want toddlers learning gun safety the hard way

I was gonna say this is a sad day, but that's just nostalgia for a time that's passed. I grew up reading and loving Popular Science, my dad always has a subscription and I would read it cover to cover usually the day it came in the mail. I let my own print subscription lapse years ago, tried a few different versions of digital magazines (anyone remember zinio?), but today it's just websites like arstechnica and the verge that have become the focus.

I still value the articles I come across online but the print edition is just a warm memory at this point to me so I can't expect them to keep a business going on that.

I'm wondering if someone in the crowd was interfering with the signal or these were point failures on individual drones

Or packets from a fast food restaurant

It's often not so simple as a person making a choice and knowing the outcome. There are often many tragic factors that contribute to the situation that resulted in the overdose. One common situation is someone is injured and prescribed opioids by their doctor, perhaps having been influenced by drug companies like Purdue pharma. As they take it they become addicted, eventually the doctor cuts them off and they go to other doctors, then they may find it easier to buy from a dealer, then they may find it more affordable to buy fentanyl, and then maybe they take too much or get a bad batch and od.

They didn't start taking drugs knowing it was going to be a bad path, they started because their doctor prescribed it and by the time they figured out they were addicted they were no longer in control and may not have had the resources to get out. It's often not just a question of willpower but one of support and resources to help you up.

There are many other scenarios, but it's rarely a simple result of a few conscious choices and almost always a result of people suffering in bad situations and it's ok to feel compassion and empathy even if they weren't completely innocent in it all.

I grew up in the northeast and none of the schools had central air. It's not hot enough before summer break to justify it. At least historically...

Yes, I've been using this past week and it's become by far my preferred Lemmy client

Biden should straight up resign and hand over power to Kamala now. That would short circuit the nomination process and completely undercut any argument that she's not up for the job if it's no longer hypothetical and she's actually just rocking it IRL.

I work in cloud computing and it's amazing to me how magical people like you think it is. Yes Google owns YouTube, but could still run out of resources if Google chooses, they are still at the mercy of their provider.

Services may be setup to dynamically grow but they are still consuming finite physical resources and would run out if the provider doesn't expand those resources.

The cloud most certainly can lose data due to hard drive failure and other hardware issues; the services are designed to make that very unlikely, but cloud services also have disaster recovery options you must implement if you want to be truly isolated from a given hardware footprint.
