Ballottrax is a simple service, sign up once and you'll get a text or email every election once your ballot has been sent/received. Your ballot envelope contains instructions and a QR code on how to sign up.

Multnomah county had this a decade ago, looks like getting a new elections county clerk paying dividends already. Especially given the horrible record in Clackamas under the past elections clerk(ballots not sent to thousands, duplicate ballots sent, abysmal processing times for the county) this is some much needed basic transparency to allow citizens to 3nsure their vote counts.

X-Post from Uplifting News:

There is no law of economics that says natural changes in demand or technology have to be met with brutal, unanticipated layoffs, that MEANINGFUL retraining can't be offered, or that unemployment payments should be poverty wages.This article shows one country's industry doing the first two at least!

As an American it's always been hard to believe the absolute sloth and lack of investment shown in helping workers retrain. I'm from Oregon, and we still have communities that never recovered from forestry preservation initiatives in the 80s. In laid the groundwork for bitter, powerless, formerly proud souls to be courted by lying politicians. I suppose it shouldn't be surprising given companies want to minimize investment in worker training here while being surprised they can't hire qualified employees 🤔. If only there were solutions...

Wins:

1. Moving away from fossil fuel dependence

2. Actually giving workers a human chance to develop new skills at a healthy pace and adapt instead of the bludgeoning pace in the US of layoffs, no training and a frantic job search.

One of the main reasons employers want to keep healthcare private; enormous leverage against labor, organized or not..

I would assume I'm not insane and this is not deliberate?

Edit; looks like this is Lemmy functionality as it's done in one's profile and also blocks the display online?

Given the slower/lower content, hiding read posts helps keep users engaged on Lemmy, but if I always have to scroll back through posts it's a total turnoff. Understand this is a Lemmy issue and not Boost it would seem, any workarounds for this Reuben?

Just want to hide stuff I've already looked at but still seem my own posts in my profile posts.

Cheers.

I seem to be having a brain fart, have "clicked on posts mark as read" but posts are still showing up. Where is the "hide read posts" option?

For most folks, once they're semi-regular runners, cost and turnover of shoes becomes a factor.

Running has an entire spectrum of needs, personally If Nike is shocked $75-$80(mid $50s after discount https://www.nike.com/w/mens-running-shoes-37v7jznik1zy7ok?sort=priceAsc) isn't competitive with pricing for other brands (Asics and New Balance are easily had for mid-$30s on sale) then I have a bridge to sell them. I(with most people) are not training for Boston, and don't want or need whatever bullshit is sold along with 2-20x the price tag for a pair of shoes to sweat in.

Feigning surprise their incredibly expensive pricing which pushed away the top of their marketing funnel impacts the middle and end of their funnel should be shame on their marketing and analytics team. That goes for any sport, their shit is overpriced and I couldn't give a shit about their brand.

Obviously there are many ways different hair types can be worn, combed, braided, cut, etc., but is natural, untouched Black/African decendent or ancestry hair an afro like in the 70s or was that styling? I imagine if it is natural, it's normally like any hair cut shorter to make it easier to manage so that's why one might see many lengths?

Also why is it sometimes called a federated ID? Does it have to be an email address or could any value work?

Whether you like basketball or not, the Damian Lillard trade today sees Portland lose a stalwart of class, low drama and accountability in a media age of pithy, immature sound bytes end egomaniacs. Personally wish the guy all the best in Milwaukee and will be rooting for the Bucks in the east!
