On the one hand, more Dems voted no on tiktok ban

On the other hand, you can bet any bipartisan bill is not in the interest of the American people

Next time you get a choice of alcoholic beverage, try some Malibu (coconut rum) and Cranberry juice.

I’m with you on the ceremony stuff. I’d rather skip it

“You people are next” is a threat based on your own position of power. A politician saying that, yeah that’s a threat. Some random person saying it someone else, not so much.

If someone has a recording of an ex saying that to them over the phone, the best you’re getting is a restraining order, if you get anything at all.

Maybe if she said “I’m coming for you next”, then that would have more weight. But now we’re in hypothetical land, so who cares.

Yes, but the legal system does not act on the whims of mass adoption. It’s like that mom in Florida who got slapped with terrorism charges for telling blue cross blue shield the deny, defend, depose line over the phone. The harsh crimes are there to chill anyone who might step out of line.

Not really, the apartment floorplan likely has the washer/dryer hookups in the same spot so they can keep the water lines and dryer exhaust together. Doesn’t make much sense to have them all scattered about

I can see this random tweet from Taylor Swift just fine in incognito mode. I can’t look at replies but I can see her posts.

People on Lemmy link to tweets all the time and I can navigate and read them. Not sure what you mean then that it’s authwalled. It’s an annoying experience and it bugs me every time I visit to make an account or log in, but I can see them.

So let’s say on Twitter, someone blocks me and I can’t read their post. Can’t I just log out and read their post that way? I don’t have a Twitter account, so I’ve never seen a blocked link before.

Very disruptive. Landfills typically bury the day’s trash at the end of the day and it’s just layers and layers of garbage, like lasagna. You might be able to work on Monday’s trash slice, but by the time Thursday rolls around, it’s time to add a layer on top of Monday.

Digging could interrupt the entire landfill process if it’s still an active landfill, meaning the daily garbage has to be redirected elsewhere, because landfills aren’t just a hole in the ground, they are a feat of engineering.

Notification access also allows them to show pictures, so they will show things like "you have a virus, download "totally legit antivirus " or other “warnings” disguised as windows alerts.

Alaska, a red state, is reportedly trying to remove their rank choice voting. This isn’t a “Dems” problem, it’s a two party problem.

Even if state and local elections are ranked choice, the presidential election will still be a first past the post election and the electoral college is still designed for a two party system.

Not saying you and I would call it “ethical” but there are for profit companies who will pay for someone’s funeral expenses to claim the body and sell it to researchers, universities, etc. So they didn’t donate their body to science but their family sold it because they couldn’t afford the service on their own.

Maybe not ethical, but legal, and therefore they may be able to claim it’s “ethical” in advertising.

For sure, just offering some silver linings to them :)

I do use a pixel, so the camera bump goes across the entire back, so there is no rocking

To add on to everyone else mentioning it, another benefit to password managers is that they auto filter themselves to the URL. So if you have a password saved for macys.com and get phished to macys-passwordreovery.com, the password manager won’t know the URL and offer no filtering. Adding the extra step of having to manually find your password entry should be a flag itself that something might be wrong.

I’m all for the camera bump. I can lay my phone on my desk and it’s slightly tilted towards me so I can read notifications without having to move my head directly above it.

Also, while holding the phone, i can use a finger under the bump for stability and to keep it from sliding down. I don’t use a case, and all these glass backed phones can be a bit slick.

All praise the camera bump overlords! \[T]/

We have waiting times too, the more elective it is the longer it is.

For my yearly checkup, the first time I went, their first availability was 3 months later. It’s the same time every year now because I book next years appointment at each visit.

I thought I needed a CPAP, I had to wait a week to get the home sleep study equipment and then two more weeks to meet with the doctor. I had a copay of $50 with that doctor but had to buy the CPAP for about $800

I scheduled a vasectomy and it took 3 months for the consult and another 6 for the procedure and it cost $750 out of pocket.

I pay $350/no for my insurance plan which has now has no copays and no coinsurance until I reach my yearly deductible of $3500 (which means I pay 100% of all medical costs before my insurance does anything) and my employer covers about $300/mo. So $7800/yr in total to basically just have protection in case a major accident happens.

From my time on Reddit years ago this question came up.

Some cashier’s said they reciprocate the exchange back to the customer. If the customer puts cash on the counter for them to pick up, they’ll put the change on the counter in return.

There also was probably some new training from covid where you didn’t want to touch people directly, so those training materials probably still exist

My guess is no one is willing to take on the liability. Any new system that introduces bugs or introduces attack vectors from hackers don’t want to be responsible for any lost money and I’m sure banks/insurance don’t want to take on the risk either.

Magnetic tape and clearing houses for the indefinite future!

Our company pays for TeamViewer, and I still get nagged all the time, so there’s no point in giving them money, they still nag you all the time.
