- Comment on Make Congress Earn Average American Wage. 3 days ago:
Mode wage. Added up for both the capital they serve (DC or state) and the location they serve (state for senator, district for representative)
- Comment on Bene Gesserit 6 days ago:
I had to look it up, Kane was the mayor of Knox county, TN, not the undertaker. (Wikipedia, Knoxville TN website)
- Comment on New grads say employers set the bar too high for entry-level roles: 'No job is willing to give you that first experience' 1 week ago:
While true, AI is making it worse, as it’s corporately acceptable at the entry level tasks. I don’t envy the graduating class, it’s like graduating during a recession.
- Comment on Reddit repost bots taking over entire communities 2 weeks ago:
Truth be told, I was kind of hoping for a reply of “use this client, it does exactly that!” I’ll let you know if someone gives me one.
- Comment on Reddit repost bots taking over entire communities 2 weeks ago:
I’d love a lemmy client that next to a username, it gives their post to comment ratio. That tends to give me a solid feel. If they don’t comment on their own posts ever, then they are not here to discuss.
- Comment on AccuWeather, National Weather Service add “Lake America” to maps 2 weeks ago:
Giving breezy a shot, thanks! (First impressions are that it looks great)
- Comment on AccuWeather, National Weather Service add “Lake America” to maps 2 weeks ago:
I’ve had AccuWeather forever, what’s decent out there?
- Comment on Food served to US service men & women. 5 weeks ago:
My biggest complaint about the pics is the trays are different. The military probably has a standard tray that they buy, and likely wouldn’t use a compostable lidded container as shown in pic one.
- Comment on An American city has been without power for 2 weeks, unacceptable. 1 month ago:
Right, it’s a complaint I tend to keep to myself, sometimes letting people know that they aren’t going to get a reply or more details, as that’s frustrating as a user
- Comment on An American city has been without power for 2 weeks, unacceptable. 1 month ago:
My complaint is that it’s from a serial Reddit reposter. If I wanted a reddit feed, I’d go to reddit. Last I looked, they posted 10x the amount they comment, drowning out communities
- Comment on Doorless showers just make a mess and everything ends up wet 1 month ago:
I like my clawfoot tub too much to get rid of it
- Comment on Doorless showers just make a mess and everything ends up wet 1 month ago:
Understood, it’s just a bigger undertaking than I want to deal with. 100+ year old houses are a project on their own
- Comment on Doorless showers just make a mess and everything ends up wet 1 month ago:
I’ve briefly thought about it, but I would need to make the whole bathroom waterproof, and that stops the intrusive thoughts.
- Comment on Someone updated Dolly Partons wiki title 1 month ago:
Yeah, that’s a name I’ve already forgotten.
- Comment on Someone updated Dolly Partons wiki title 1 month ago:
I don’t know who they are, and I’m pretty sure I don’t want to know who they are either.
- Comment on ASDA can fuck right off 1 month ago:
The current front to the war on Christmas is Halloween. Thanksgiving has been lost. Stand strong Halloween, we gluttons fight with you.
- Comment on Walmart math: Wrong price per ounce 1 month ago:
It’s probably 32oz with 8oz free!
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Here I am, laying face down, wondering about space sharks
- Comment on Text spam aimed at my ex 1 month ago:
If it’s not your place, schedule a meeting to look it over, obviously don’t show up.
- Comment on Ford's affordable EV pickup is named Fathom, and it will start at $28,350 2 months ago:
Wow, that’s the one of the ugliest pickup trucks I’ve ever seen, second only to the cyber truck.
- Comment on Please critique this in terms of its raising awareness of the less aware. It's old news to us, but will it help people wake up a little? 2 months ago:
On one hand it’s super informative, on the other, it’s super informative. Most people will see the walls of text and have their eyes glaze over. It’s good, but you almost want a second one that is punchy and to the point with a similar style.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
If you have a post-it in the case with this wipe password, would this get around the act of doing it yourself?
- Comment on War news on Lemmy delayed 2 months ago:
So when seeing this lack of posts, why didn’t you post it?
- Comment on Return to office propaganda floating around LinkedIn 2 months ago:
Another 25 is keeping other people out of your way also. The last 5? Going to bat for you when needed.
- Comment on What is negative voltage? 2 months ago:
Once you add in outlets, there’s a reference.
Assuming you’re in a US home similar to mine here: Ac power typically comes into an outlet as two to three conductors. One is live, one is neutral, the other is ground.
The neutral is your 0v. In the house, that’s often tied to a water line at your breaker, or a rod inserted into the earth, a ground rod. The ground is also tied to neutral in the breaker, and is there for protection. (GFCI outlets test for current on the protection line and if there is any, shuts off the outlet because that’s a fault condition).
Tldr: 0v/ground in your home is referenced to actual ground, the earth, typically in the breaker box.

I have a dream where I’m a brontosaurus and someone got me an airplane for my birthday so I’m flying it around making airplane noises.
- Comment on Fingies 2 months ago:
So… When I make a horse with one hand to run on the table, I’m not far off?
- Comment on Memdeklaro - A privacy-friendly decentralized identity framework 3 months ago:
One commit in the past two years? What does this even do? (Pretend I don’t know any buzzwords)
- Comment on Bill to raise minimum wage to $25 an hour will be introduced in Senate 3 months ago:
Less minimum wage should be tied to inflation, more minimum wage should be tied to congressional salary. (Some multiplier, because they do need to live in two places)
- Comment on The struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy. 3 months ago:
That hill is way too straight. It’s definitely an increasing slope for a bit there. Starting about where they are, electricity and magnetism
