Did this dude just extort eggs from birds at gunpoint?

I saw it on Blue sky a while ago and instantly unsubbed and said it was because I support DEI policies.

A progressive wealth tax where at some amount of money your are taxed down to that amount. Billionaires shouldn't exist.

Practically that is impossible unless the rest of the world agrees, otherwise they will just hide their wealth overseas.

Surprised AOC is not on it

It is not anti-Semitic to protest Israel commiting genocide with the US's help.

I also don't think it's reasonable to hold all of the protestors accountable for some of the protestors actions (assuming some actually are anti-semetic)

And my dumb ass was hoping to buy a house (or a small piece of land) soon.
Welp guess I'll just watch my minimal assets be worth less and less and my 401k tank

If a CEO is surprised, maybe they aren't smart enough to be CEO. I'm an idiot and I was pretty sure the economy was gonna take a hit with tariffs.

I bought a steam tent. 15 minutes in it a day, while agonizing, makes being outdoors tolerable. Also my apt doesn't get below 81 in the summer.

The real question is, will they let her take her job back or continue to block her in defiance of the courts.

The insanity was part of the populism. Sanity won't get as much traction

Absolutely fucking insane

 

I wrote a tiny golang cli application that you can use to calculate your nutrient shopping list for preparing your growth media.

Right now all it lets you do is punch in your amount (in liters) and get your shopping list.

I did a little research and will have it print out details on all the chemicals soon, as well as if they seem safe for consumption. (All that data is in the source code now, just not printed).

I want to provide sources for the information somehow as well.

After that I'll add other media formulas as I find them.

My first Grow (lemmy.world)

Bought the culture and starter medium from Amazon. I didn't dechlorinate my tap water so the first batch of culture I added yellowed and presumably died. Eventually the chlorine evaporated and subsequent additions seemed to take.

 

Is there a way to only show English posts when in All? I love our friends around the world but I can only read English right now

 

Anyone on Abilify (Aripiprazole) and smoke, are you able to get high?

I have been on Lexapro for years and started smoking a few years ago with no issues.

Now I added Abilify to my mental health cocktail and have noticed that I can get high anymore. I think I have a high tolerance, I graduated from black market flower to medical 510 thread concentrate to wax. I typically smoke 3 to 5 hits over a 4 hour period after work.

So other than trying a T break, anyone experienced anything like this? This really sucks.

I just got about 100 hours on HOI4 and I cant play it at all. I have to date only won a single game (since I picked it back up recently after release), but typically the second I get into war my divisions lack organization, supply, or whatever else and I get capitulated pretty quick.

Are there any mods that take a single concept (supply, army planning, division designs, etc) and help you learn those in isolation? I watch a bunch of YouTubers and try to follow their tips but for whatever reason I am still doing it wrong.

Interestingly, I bought hoi on release and was able to world conquest on my first or second try, so I am guessing new dlc/mechanics (supply?) are probably part of the problem.

 

I am starting to detangle myself from Google and one of the services I use is YouTube.

I learned that piped exists the other day but that is just a front end for Google.

Is there a tool that I can host on my server that will let me give it YouTube links, that will then download/stream to my server and then server to my phone or computer?

I guess I am looking for a tool that will cache my YouTube videos locally and even download my subscriptions when they upload new stuff.

I'm not sure what this buys me that Piped does not, except that I am backing up videos in case they are removed.

I am working on building a new server in my apartment that will have a reasonably beefy GPU and CPU so I can get PCIE pass-through working and get a gaming VM set up.

Trouble is, my apartment is in the attic in the south. With the AC on I had one or two really bad days last year that it got up to 90 degrees Fahrenheit inside with high humidity.

Any cooling suggestions for something like that? Is 90 degrees Fahrenheit still cool enough to reduce the temperature of my components? I would really like to avoid buying a phase change cooler, but that is the only thing I can think of if the ambient is too high.

 

I got a medical card here in LA and the prices are outrageous. Getting a dablicator with full spectrum oil seems to be the most cost effective. Trouble is I can't seem to figure out how to use it.

At first I just ate it but I think I wasted $90 because I felt nothing and I don't think it was decarbed.

Next I got some refillable 510 thread vapes and a small syringe to fill it. That has been a pain but it at least works a bit.

How am I supposed to use this stuff? Is it all the same or are there different kinds? Is it decarbed at all or not meant for vaping?

 

Hey All,

Hoping you can help me grok what he is doing here. He has a capo on 2nd fret I think and it looks like he is just using simple chords, but I can't figure out what his strumming pattern is. I think it is fingerstyle but I am at a loss on how to actually replicate it.

Anyone have any ideas?
