One time I came home from work and found a deer in my front yard that had been hit by a car. It was still standing but it looked awful. I seriously thought about putting it out of its misery but before I could do anything, it limped off into the woods right behind my house where it collapsed and died.

About three days later, I opened my front door and got hit in the face by the most horrible smell I have ever smelt. Imagine the smell from when you leave a meat package in the trash for a day or two. Dial that up to about 1000. Set it in the hot sun for three days and you'll probably be pretty close. It's so strong it stimulates your gag reflex. I have a pretty strong stomach but I thought I was going to be sick. I couldn't go outside for a week after that because that's how long it took the scavengers to clean up the carcass.

It's pretty easy to "leapfrog" communications infrastructure if you're building out that infrastructure during a time when technologies like fiber optics are well established.

Landline phone service in the US had been ubiquitous for the better part of a century at that point. And, since most homes had a phone line, it kind of made sense that communications technology expanded from that particular connection point. Unfortunately, there are severe limits as to how much you can push through a two wire cable and it didn't take very long to reach those limits.

There have been some very significant developments in telecom but the rollout of those has been slow overall due to the fact that the American telecom system is still mostly monopolized by the remaining descendents of "Ma Bell", whose primary goals are to squeeze as much money as possible out of their existing infrastructure while spending as little on it as possible.

With the Democratic Party struggling to find a new direction, former President Joe Biden and former first lady Jill Biden have offered to jump in and help with fundraising and rebuilding. in c/nottheonion@lemmy.world

I care. Granted I'm just one American and I'm not in a position of power, but the blatant bigotry being pushed by some of us is shameful and makes me very angry.

Context: Donald Trump spewing bullshit about annexing Canada and Greenland. Meanwhile, Congress has been dragging their feet for YEARS on resolving Puerto Rico's territorial status.

Citizens living in US territories do not receive equal representation in congress. For instance, PR has one "delegate" to the House (not an official voting member) and no senators. Taxation without representation.

Although, at this point I wouldn't blame PR if they changed their minds about wanting to become the 51st state.

Today I started investigating my high electric bill (sh.itjust.works)
 

Our electric bill has been running pretty high even though it hasn't been that cold and we've been supplementing with wood heat. Decided to track down the culprit and hooked up an energy usage monitor to one of our 5 sub panels. Gonna check the other 4 over the course of the next few days.

Toyota's are a joy to work on. Top notch engineering. Everything is easily accessible.

It's been making a "click/pop" sound whenever you accelerate or brake hard. I spent some time investigating but I'm still not sure what's causing that.

Edit: Just to clarify, my stance here is not "ignore everything Trump." He has done and will do quite a lot of things that warrant attention and concern. He's also a serial liar and world class bullshitter. A human testament to the phrase, "actions speak louder than words." Donald Trump's political success has always hinged on the fact that people are quick to forget that. He's already working overtime to distract from the fact that the majority of his campaign promises were just lies and the sooner he can make the people who voted for him forget all the pie in the sky shit they were promised, the better.

Christmas Tradition (sh.itjust.works)
 

cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/29910764

We have a rather unique Christmas tradition in our family. Some people like to get those gingerbread house kits and decorate them. We like to decorate them and then turn them into a cookie catastrophe. We call them "gingerbread crime scenes" but they're really more along the lines of Shrek meets Apocalypse Now.

It's something we started doing when our oldest child was probably 10 years old so she wouldn't feel bad about accidentally wrecking her gingerbread house. It just became an annual tradition after that and we have a lot of fun doing it. They actually seem to get more creative every year.

This years episode is "Gummy Bears vs. Peanut Butter Perps" (the 'ginger bread men' are actually peanut butter cookies).
