Right to work states are anti union.
Right to work states are anti union.
Meal planner and shopping lists are a gateway drug. Next thing you know you’re 30 topics deep with embedded webpages and items in a database, planning world domination one step at a time.
In all seriousness, I started using notion because I have ADHD and needed something to keep me on track then I really over did it and have lists and planning set up for most of my daily life and I share it all with my GF who uses it for all of her notes.
Obsidian and Notion are decent.
I’ve settled on using wsl2 on a windows machine. I run Ubuntu and kali in wsl as virtual machines on my main windows computer. I was an early user of linux and bsd but have found it’s just plain easier to run day to day on windows.
I run both Ubuntu and kali simply because I haven’t been able to make sound work correctly with Ubuntu on wsl but it works great in kali, plus kali has all the pentesting stuff so I can play around with that in my free time.
I’m not sure if they would be classified as influencers but have you ever fallen into the rabbit hole of youtube reaction channels? I fell into it because of a band I like was being heavily reacted to on youtube but I quickly noticed there is a cycle of right wing propagandists like Tom McDonald and other music type people who get featured on these reaction channels. The majority of the reactors I watch are black but they sell their souls for the traffic they get from what I assume are mostly bots that watch and comment in support of the right wing propaganda.
The first time I watched one of those reaction videos I was awestruck by how the reactor was so agreeable to the theme of “I won’t apologize for being white”. I know it’s only tangibly related to the topic here but I have been bothered by it and wanted to share and see what other people think.
I am convinced the reactors or paid to favorably review this stuff.
I never said anything about condoning criminality. I said valuing property higher than life isn’t right. I said this in another post a few days ago but I’ll say it again. I live in a high crime area and I am sick and tired of people stealing from not only me but my neighbors and from businesses that support the community’s needs. That doesn’t change the fact I think it’s morally repugnant to want to kill someone for property theft.
If we invested more in community building and opportunities along with courts and police departments upholding the law we would have less of these types of crimes. Where I live the police stopped policing because they got mad after several officers were charged with the murder of a kid they arrested. In my eyes that makes them the same as the people stealing from the community. The courts here rarely convict juveniles so the kids know they can get away with just about anything.
While I say I live in a high crime area I also know that overall in the US crime rates have been declining over the years especially violent crime rates.
Your comment is on the nose.
I have had many arguments with people over the fact you shouldn’t want to shoot someone over property. I’m a gun owner but I don’t carry a gun and I don’t believe a life is worth less than property. The amount of people I know who carry a gun and have said they would shot someone for stealing is incredibly high and troubling.
I don’t know if it is a direct result of the daily dehumanization of ethnic groups and criminals we are bombarded with all day long everyday or if it is much more complex but there is a real problem in the US when large groups of people don’t value other people’s lives.
It’s complete shit right now. 5 or more years ago I could quickly find an answer to a very technical question with no problem. Now it is useless for anything. Just today I was looking for a shop near me that can perform a front end alignment on my RV, I searched for “Tractor Trailer front end alignment near me”. The entire first page is either tire shops that do not offer front end alignments, car tire shops that don’t even sell the correct size tires I would need for a tractor trailer, or shops 2000 miles away in various directions. It’s horrible and I think it would be faster to look in the yellow pages for what I need in this case. I never found a shop using google.
Also today I was searching for the tires I need in the shopping tab there were ads for tires that google had labeled as wal-mart but when I would click the link it would take me to a Chinese scam site.
In 1999 / 2000 I started using Mandrake because I missed the days of using a terminal instead of a GUI. That got me into setting a web and mail server up and running things from home once I had stable internet. I have always had an on and off relationship with Linux and the other *nix. Currently I have a few servers running around the house for various things all running Ubuntu but besides upkeep and making changes I don’t touch them much until my ADHD kicks in and I want to learn something new then I burn out for awhile and repeat the cycle. I am probably the outlier here that uses windows daily and Linux secondary these days.
I like the idea of more “metrics” being used to help “weight” the search results. E.g. if you’re viewed heaps of content from “magazine A”, then content should be surfaced more from that magazine.
I think that is the way ‘best’ works on reddit and it is the way I preferred to use that site. I agree with you that using metrics would be awesome with the added filter ‘best’.
Man Mandrake brings back some memories. It was my first linux install solely because they had the fastest shipping time for install cd’s and at the time I was on dialup so I couldn’t just download anything I wanted. I ran it for several years and ended up on a few different distro’s and freebsd for a bit.
Not if you’re on kbin. The new server isn’t federated with kbin.social for some reason.
You use a lower pressure and higher GPM than pressure washing. There are different ways to do it some people use a 12 volt pump with a flow between 5 and 10 GPM along with either a downstream injector or a mixing valve and separate tanks to inject SH (Sodium Hydroxide) and a surfactant (soap) into the wash stream. Other people use gas engine driven pumps the same as a pressure washer but the nozzle at the end of the line takes down the pressure of the water emitted from the pump so you don’t damage the house. This is the most non-destructive and really the only safe way to “pressure” wash a house or roof. You can also use it on sidewalks and driveways. The SH kills organic matter and the soap breaks up dirt and grime. It is applied to the house and sits for several minutes then washed off with a stream of water.
To be honest I am considering doing soft washing. I am retired and have the time to put into it.
I think it’s the Youtubers who claim how easy it is and make claims of making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year doing it. Somehow those videos made it into my algorithm on YT. Everyday for several months I get at least one usually 3 or 4 pressure washing / house washing videos recommended. I’m sure many other people are also. Seems like there are 2 bigger companies spamming Youtube with how to get in the soft washing business and that birthed a number of people who vlog on yt about how great the business is.
Edit: It also has a low cost of entry to start a pressure washing or soft washing company. From what I’ve seen you can start one for under $500 in equipment and have seen videos of guys using their cars to haul around the equipment and chemicals. So anyone who wants to can get into the business. On a side note I doubt many of them are licensed or have liability insurance. The risk of property damage is super high when running a pressure washing or soft washing business.
Search on Lemmy Explorer put your search term in the box that says “Filter Communities” I only mentioned that because it’s not intuitive should just say “Search” IMO
I got some good deals from the Reddit one though about 80% of the posts were trendy things that don’t fit my very laid back style.
No problem glad to help a little. Keep an eye out on Lemmy Explorer you can use the filter box to search for what you need.
I used to really like running it. I had quite a lot of aggregated content on that site.
Here’s the AFL-CIO’s take on right to work AFL-CIO
I used to be a union member in a right to work state and we had no union contract or protections until a democrat majority was voted in to the state government and passed a law allowing public safety unions to collectively bargain a contract with our employer.
