Grew up watching Carmen SanDiego, Mr. Rogers, Ghostwriter, etc on PBS and turned into an adult listening to NPR radio on my commute. Both have been huge parts of my life, and I cannot imagine I’m alone. Hitting the donate button seems like the least I (we) can do.

I know you’re being sarcastic, but if the Supreme Court allows it to stand (I’m assuming those EOs will be challenged in court immediately), they basically do overrule the Constitution.

To achieve this goal, Cern scientists have built transportable devices containing superconducting magnets, cryogenic cooling systems and vacuum chambers where antiprotons can be trapped, avoiding contact with normal matter, and carried on seven-tonne lorries.

Antiprotons. So basically an anti-hydrogen ion.

Happy he’s dead? Sure, whatever. Gallows humor has it’s place, and that’s one thing.

Cheering the killer, frothing at the mouth for more, making excuses to commit murder, calling for copy cats, hoping it’s a trend, calling it a “good start”, screeching “guillotines!” or “9mm are the new guillotine”, etc are all beyond the pale and completely inexcusable.

Most containers default to UTC, and depending what you’re running, that may be fine.

I only mount /etc/timezone / /etc/localtime if I’m running a container where it needs to be on the same timezone as the host (DB containers, anything where I want the logs in local time, etc). Not all containers use the TZ env var, so bind mounting the timezone files from the host is a guaranteed way to sync them.

Thank you for understanding the difference.

The former is understandable, if a bit morbid. The latter is just sick in the head.

The ultimate risk to the American republic is that Democrats give up their unilateral observance of basic norms. The system can survive, just about, one of the two main parties going feral. … The story is what far worse behaviours it might augur from the Democrats in future, given the incentives they face.

Behaviours such as? Giving up on normal leaders and elevating a demagogue of the left: a Huey Long for our age. Or choosing which election results to honour. Or embracing a leftist version of deep state theory: a total rejection of the US system.

Isn’t that what half of Lemmy has been screeching for? Basically “Save us from their fascism by instituting my flavor of fascism?”

So far, so good. He’s made a few good points that I’ve tried pointing out before. Reading on…

Ok, now WTF? The author expects an apology from the democratic party for simply abiding by tradition that the sitting president is the nominee? The whole point he’s trying to make in this article is that the norms need to be respected. Yeah, this went off the rails quick.

Then he goes on to list all a good handful of the ways Trump abused power and tried to overthrow the government before finally wrapping up with a “What about Hunter Biden?!”

In conclusion, the author made a few good points in the beginning, contradicted himself halfway through, and wrapped up with a whatabout.

Score:

They pay her in boxed wine, probably.

Awesome, thanks!. If you need any info, just let me know.

Supreme Court: (Points at literally anything) That’s unconstitutional!

Also Supreme Court: (Re: Post-Constitutional Movement) This is fine.

And tax free if they get their way.

I do have all of those in my cabinet, but wasn’t aware they would help with falling/staying asleep. Def agree about not becoming dependent on melatonin supplements; I try not to over-do it, but sometimes when I have important stuff to do first thing in the morning, I don’t want risk being a zombie from poor/no sleep.

Story of my life lol.

I’ve been taking melatonin gummies before bed, and those seem to be helping.

Lol, yeah, they definitely don’t have to suck. When they first put those in, they were actually pretty fantastic. But Kroger Corporate said “not on my watch” and cranked up the security to obscene levels and made them horrible. There’s just not another decent grocery story close to me, so I’m stuck. Yay food deserts 🫠

Alcohol got me through the last administration. Cheers to round 2 I guess.

It absolutely is. Almost like it was designed to be as frustrating as possible for some kind of social experiment.

Because the bagging area is like 9 feet away at the end of the conveyor.

They’re basically reversed from what the cashiers use where you load your items onto the conveyor to be scanned. On these, the scanning platform is a little, tiny table on one end where you scan your items and then you put it on the conveyor that takes it to the bagging area.

When the belt gets a little less than half full, the machine makes you go bag some stuff.

All the while, my groceries are melting lol.

Edit: Like this

The other style where you can bag as you go (pictured below) also make you wait 2-3 seconds, but if you’re scanning a lot of little items (seasoning packets, yeast, those little water flavor enhancer things, etc), they don’t trigger the scale and you have to wait for it to realize you’re not stealing or something. Either way, they’re not suitable to scan a whole cart of groceries. Like, if you fill up the carousel and try to set some bags down until you can put them in your cart, it’ll call for backup and you have to wait for the single cashier that’s attending to 12-15 of these abominations to come and verify you’re not trying to steal.

I would LOVE to use the self checkouts since the grocery chain near me has been replacing all the human cashiers. But the damn things treat you like a thief, make you wait 2-3 seconds between scans, you can’t scan your whole cart of groceries without going down and bagging them when the conveyor gets more than half full, etc.

They’re horrible. I just wait in line for one of the human cashiers every time.

Stop. Editorializing. The. Titles. Please.
