I showed my friends Rubber. It’s a movie about a serial killer tire. I think it’s great. Everyone I’ve showed it to thought it was terrible.

It’s a Doggy Dogg World

When I was a kid, I heard that leaving cut grass on the ground was better for your lawn. Surprisingly, this was enough to convince my dad that I didn’t need to bag the clippings when mowing.

A hybrid bike would be a great place to start. Your first bike is rarely your last. As you ride it, you’ll gradually learn what you like and don’t like about it. Some things can be replaced or upgraded. Eventually you’ll have a better idea of what to get for your second bike. If you’re buying used, make sure there are no signs of rust, the brakes and shifters work as expected, there are no squeaky or metal-on-metal sounds, and the bike is appropriately sized for you, and you should be good to go.

Also, you don’t have to do all the maintenance yourself. Bike service is usually pretty cheap. Some things I do myself, but when it requires special tools, the bike shop makes more sense.

“here” is beehaw, which is a bit more sane. You’re probably thinking of lemmy.ml

My brother is a linesman for a power company in upstate SC. He also moonlights as an arborist. He’s been busy. He told me that if the power company didn’t get out of state help, it would have taken them 8 months to fully restore power.

Not a chance. The B2 is a manned platform. It’s also quite an old one which would require a huge program to create an autonomous capability. The B2’s successor (the B21) is coming soonish so such a program would have no support. Right now, autonomous military aircraft are mostly being considered for support roles like tankers with future projects of “loyal wingman” fighters to fly alongside a manned fighter. A deep, precision strike from an untested technology would never fly.

You just equated blocking c/politics with being broadly pro status quo. You can be politically engaged and active and not like the discussions on c/politics.

Per-capita figures are on the right. I think this metric should be given the bar chart.

What pests are wasps and hornets killing? The wasps and hornets *are" the pests to me.

I like your optimism but disagree with your conclusion. Even before factoring in cost, I think there are far more drawbacks than benefits for 3D printing a house. Even if it lowered the cost of frame building to free, it still wouldn’t be used because all the other problems it would create. The costs of mitigating those problems will keep it niche and expensive.

The real innovations in home construction aren’t going to be noticed by the average person. It will be things like new types of lumber, greater use of pre-fab sections, etc. This article is likely pushed by a PR firm for a startup to get funding from the UN based on buzzwords and hype.

Wait… What’s wrong about this?

I seriously doubt 3D printed homes will ever be disruptive in any real sense. Effectively, it makes frame building easier. But that has never been the limiting factor in construction. All of the wiring, plumbing, etc is what is most difficult about building a home.

This company intends to do away with all that by just building a basic structure for people that need housing the most. Their “printer” is very cheap and fits in a shipping container. This is pretty much best case scenario, and it still would be upstaged by a shipping container of cinder blocks. The use case for 3D printed homes is luxury housing with funny shapes sold for high prices.

Linen is better than polyester (unless it’s a fancy sports garment) and much better than cotton imo. It also kinda looks nice a little wrinkly so a baggy fit works well with it.

You’re moving the goalposts. Neither the person you’re replying to nor the article mention anything about relaxing the standard. All of the legislation and proposals in this area come from Republicans trying to make it harder for non-citizens to vote.

The article is pointing out the boogyman nature of this focus from the right. I would go a step further and say that this focus is an effort to disenfranchise working class voters by throwing more paperwork between them and their vote. I might even go another step and say that it’s an effort to delegitimize our elections by claiming fraud to pave the way for illegitimate power grabs (like Jan 6).

2:46 “am I not speaking clearly?”

American hamburger dressing? What is that?

Kavinsky - Reborn His first album was iconic in synthwave (heard of Nightcall?). I have no idea why his second album didn’t make bigger waves. It’s awesome.

There are still plenty of analog radios on the market.

You were more subtle than my friends. In the computer lab, we would just change “the” to “fuck”
