Sure looks like I can get an Uber in Minneapolis today. I can't get past the login page to see if I can actually request a ride but the web page is still there, indicating that Uber is still in Minneapolis

The OS is in between the service and the bare metal. Something like OPNsense can be said to be running on bare metal because the OS and the firewall service are so intertwined. However, something like firewalld isn't running on the bare metal because it's just a service of the operating system.

That's how I understand it anyway, I'm not a pro

but the UI is substantially better than Android

For children and drunks, maybe.

For someone in Russia, the impermanence might be a desirable feature. I mean, there's always still IRC but Discord is all the rage these days.

Get off my lawn.

I would loathe permanent DST.

I work construction and for the past decade or so the General Contractors have only been paying the electricians to install "life safety" lighting. Basically, it's enough light to navigate the hallways and especially the stairways. We are on our own to light any other areas. This is why nearly all construction workers now wear headlamps, it's dark as shit in most of the site.

So, we just had the DST change obviously and now I have to use my headlamp for about an hour every morning even if I'm next to a window. The latest sunrise in Denver would be something like 0815 if we were on permanent DST. That's two full hours every morning for at least a week stumbling around with a damn headlamp.

Detroit's latest sunrise would be 0850, I think. That's insanity. I feel for the people that are stuck in the 8-5 office grind and want to walk their dog after work but damn it would be a huge PITA for anyone who works at 0600. I don't know if I could take it.

“As funny as this sounds, several years ago, I was walking in a Veterans Day parade, and a veteran … that was watching the parade, an older gentleman, gets up from his lawn chair – he actually walks into the parade route, shook my hand and said: ‘Before I die, would you end daylight savings time?’” Lankford recounted.
“He said: ‘I hate it. I’m in my 80s. I want you to get rid of daylight savings time before I die.’”

...

Lankford’s bill would eliminate the time change by making daylight savings time apply year-round in the US.

So basically Lankford is bragging that he wants to do exactly the opposite of this (probably fictional) constituent actually wants. They don't grow 'em too smart in Oklahoma.

Colorado House Bill 21-1229 is law here now, maybe your state can pass a bill like it too?

I'm all-in on trying to ratfuck Trump so I'll be voting in the (R) primary

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Know what else is ridiculous about it? The Trump administration banned bump stocks in December 2018. Not Congress, the ATF did it. Under Trump.

Biggest federal gun control move since Clinton's assault rifle ban which was done through legislation.

Not the bump stocks though, Trump took those from the ammosexuals and you don't hear shit about it anymore.

They are (I) voters that are likely to vote (D) in the general and there is a serious attempt to ratfuck Trump in NH by getting these left leaning (I) voters to vote Haley in the (R) primary.

So... this fake robocall is an Uno reverse card ratfuck trying to get those people to stay home.

Zerlyna must be busy today so I figured I'd just affirm that today, January 1st I will be happy to not drink alcohol with you today.

We may be anonymous strangers on the internet, but we have one thing in common. We may be a world apart, but we’re here together!

Welcome to the 24 hour pledge! I’m pledging myself to not drinking today, and invite you to do the same.

Maybe you’re new to c/stopdrinking and have a hard time deciding what to do next. Maybe you’re like me and feel you need a daily commitment or maybe you’ve been sober for a long time and want to inspire others.

It doesn’t matter if you’re still hung over from a three day bender or been sober for years, if you just woke up or have already completed a sober day. For the next 24 hours, let’s not drink alcohol!
