  Were you doing this from the same IP address? Cause some places check for that kind of thing.

  It's possible Trump will win again. And even if he doesn't, he's not the only threat. There's so the emboldened MAGAts, a resurgent white nationalist / neo-Nazi / christofascist movement being weaponized, an unapologetically corrupt Supreme Court, a Republican party that's too scared of their own voters to do their job, a heavily militarized and intolerant police force, and plans to forcibly re-make the country with the next Republican president.

  So it worked and he gave it to you, and when it arrived at your place it no longer worked? I'd try checking that all the internal cables are connected properly; one of them may have jostled loose in the journey.

  I hate to refer you back there, but there's a dumpster diving subreddit.

  And I don't know what the schedule in the UK is, but here in the States, people are moving out of their dorms for the summer. If the schedule is the same and you can get over to your local university or college or whatever, you may be able to score not just food, but other things that people just don't have the energy/ability to drag home.

  A friend of mine used to offer end-of-termers $10 for their mini-fridges, clean them up in his shed over the summer, then sell them to next year's freshers for $40-50. Even if you don't have a car, you might find some small stuff you can clean up and resell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could Trump Go to Prison? If He Does, the Secret Service Goes, Too⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That behind-the-scenes conversation [...] focused only on how to move and protect Mr. Trump if the judge were to order him briefly jailed for contempt in a courthouse holding cell, the people said.

  Well, that's disappointing.

  The far more substantial challenge — how to safely incarcerate a former president if the jury convicts him and the judge sentences him to prison rather than home confinement or probation — has yet to be addressed directly

  It can't be probation, he'll just violate it constantly.

  “I know there’s a ton of skepticism about Meta entering the fediverse — it’s completely understandable,” Cottle says. “I do want to kind of make a plea that I think everyone on the team has really good intentions. We really want to be a good member of the community and give people the ability to experience what the fediverse is.”

  If I wanted Facebook shitposts and forwards from KlanMa, I'd've joined Facebook. And I don't believe Meta has good intentions, I believe they want to overwhelm the fediverse, and I believe they want to make money. Middle-manager Cottle and their team may have good intentions, but corporate certainly doesn't, and I certainly don't trust their users.

  I feel like something changed

  He grew up a rich white boy in full-Apartheid South Africa. He's never grown up (Tesla models S,3,X,Y! Tesla fart noises! 42069 amirite!).

  Nothing changed, he just got bored and started interacting with the poor's and people noticed the person he really was.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump 'tried to sell Truth Social to Musk' as SPAC deal stalled⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It was pretty obvious that Trump would try to scam Musk. Fortunately, given his own difficulties, Musk was unlikely to agree - we're just fortunate these bills are coming due so far in advance of the election. And also that, given Musk's foreign birth, he'll never be eligible to be president or vice president (something that I'm sure sticks in his craw).

  Also, you don't have to make fresh sauce everytime. You can make a large batch, then freeze it in ice cube trays, then move the cubes into ziplock.

  Poor babies. I've worked in a lot of places. I've never yet worked at, knew someone who worked at, or heard of a corporation that has a union that didn't "earn" the union by persistent and blatant worker abuse.

  No. "In outer space, there is no atmosphere" does not mean "if there's no atmosphere, it must be outer space" - it could be a vacuum tube or something similar.

  I'm just surprised that there's a restaurant that offers it. I mean, some restaurants do, but they're not usually chains.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is this monstrosity?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Man, you weren't kidding, were you?

  But, the neat thing about this SUV is that it has some “pop-up” features that will turn any parking lot into an instant party. I’m not exactly sure how they pop up, but somehow a DJ deck, speakers and a large TV emerge from the SUV’s roof, transforming it into a club stage. Essentially, this is as close as you’ll get to Soundwave from Transformers – minus the guns, of course. Source

  If the fetus can survive on it's own, it's a person. If it can't survive on it's own, it's a parasite. Parasites on a living host have no rights.

  The fucker who decided to call a non-binding (and very ill-defined) referendum on whether the UK should leave the EU, made a major campaign because he wanted to stay in office, promised he'd shepherd the UK through Leave it if went through, accidentally won, decided it was absolutely binding, and then promptly fucked off for the exit?

  The suggested tip may be less than what's normally suggested, but even the 'minimum' 8% tip means it adds up to a total of 26%, which is way more than my own usual 20%.
