When I did van life for a while my hotspot was FBI Surveilled Van.

Albuquerque has a major street named Juan Tabo and every time I drove past I wondered who that was, after a dozen times I finally remembered to look it up when I got home and found out that it was just some non-noteworthy guy lost to time. Network became ‘discount Juan Tabo lookalike’

I used to think this until one day I looked at a local shelters available dogs online and they were literally all pitbulls and other fighting dogs. Granted I was living in a shithole at the time but if your only options are no dog, dog that is at least 25% descended from something bred to be violent, and paying somebody who seems to not be 100% evil for a poodle I’m at least sympathetic to the third option now.

It’s so funny that the libs are downvoting this. So much for the ‘you have to look past her flaws for now, she’s our only chance against Trump’ rhetoric.

The campaign is over. She lost. What’s the excuse for still supporting her now?

Blue MAGA are doing their best to live up to the epithet. It was never about ideology or morality. Kamala is OUR TEAM and OUR TEAM GOOD.

god I wish I lived somewhere civilized. The general level of societal function this implies sounds amazing.

‘glad we have this type of weirdo here, I don’t need to see this shit though’ -me once per week on lemmy

For a second I thought this was the kitchen in one of my previous apartments. Is it that common for shitty apartments to not have drawer pulls on the cabinets?

There is a subset of people on lemmy who embody the npc :| >:| meme specifically for anything tangentially related to elon musk. Elon likes the idea of self driving cars so it’s better if 10 people are killed by human drivers than 1 person is killed by a self driving car.

I, a warehouse worker, hate OXO for slapping every warning label under the sun on their boxes. I saw a box of oven mitts labeled “fragile” along with like five other warnings. Not even a one size fits all box either, this had custom printing for the product.

Also Crown for making equipment that is so ineptly fly-by-wire there is what feels like half a second delay between input and response.

cant have shit in trumps america. this is what we could have had

NEC 314.23(B) An enclosure supported from a structural member … shall be rigidly supported either directly or by using a … or wood brace

NEC 314.23(B)(2) … Wood braces shall have a cross section not less than 1"x2"

This is fine. I’m not an electrician and don’t know what that is securing the romex but I assume that’s approved.

I mean I guess if the inspector wants they could deny it for not being “neat and workmanlike” but they’d have to really be an asshole. Like it’s weird but it’s not going anywhere, not like a switch is a heavy piece of equipment. This would probably even be fine for a light.

They cant stop you from buying heat shrink and wire strippers. Don’t let nothing hold you back

In part because a large fraction are bullshit.

I have seen boxes with ‘Open carefully, do not use a knife’ on the outer box when there was another set of cardboard boxes inside protecting the product. Oh yeah, real glad I didn’t cut the tape with my blade that’s not long enough to fully cut even one layer of cardboard.

I have also seen a label “delicate product, fold carefully” on fucking denim jackets.

When everything is ‘fragile’ nothing is. If you won’t pay for a packaging engineer then pay for actual special handling.

I remember it being big news in the vaping world when walmart started carrying vapes. I went out and bought some awful eGo pen and the world’s worst tasting juice in 2.4% nicotine. I managed to get through the little 20ml bottle of sour apple but the java flavor was so awful it remained my backup ‘it’s this or withdrawals’ juice for the better part of a decade. I think I picked withdrawals most of the time.

You can already mine on your own and use that money to pay for stuff if it’s viable. This is just displacing the subscription into your electricity bill.

Fuck, I’ll never be able unlink federated social media and polyamory in my head now.

The secret option is the real electrician’s hammer, some lineman’s pliers.

You can do more stuff with the straighter claw on the rip hammer, like whack it into something to use it as a wedge.

Completely irrelevant to whether or not FSD is safer than human drivers.

You’re right, 5 deaths isn’t newsworthy in the context of tens of thousands killed by human drivers each year.

Is it worse than human drivers is the only relevant point of comparison, which the article doesn’t make.
