You're not wrong. But also, people would love shape tools in GIMP. It still feels like a really weird thing to exclude.

How do you rectify the idea of not being world police with:

"I have signed a declaration to use emergency authorities to expedite the delivery of approximately $4 billion in military assistance to Israel. "?

Or is that somehow different?

Tariffs are one way to protect domestic industry.

They are completely useless when that industry does not exist already. When an industry doesn't exist and you want to build it, you need subsidies, not tariffs.

Do you believe the US has sufficient industry to protect? Or that we should instead be focused on growing more?

How in the name of sweet baby imaginary white Jesus did you get out of that mindset!?

I think those are called life coaches.

It's what they are, so why waste time trying to change that?

You don't need to change them. You need to make them worry about reelection

I'm not sure that pisses my vibe check. 10% of people are smart enough to make good money and not be poor, but are dumb enough to fuck it up? That seems high. Mostly because I don't think that many people make good money.

I know 100 people, and I can't think of ten like that.

But if you mean "make not great money and fail to super optimize because of the stress", that I get.

Well, that's one way to get rid of Republicans. Let's see how many we can get like this.

You say he would consider himself male. If you mean "male as defined during his time period", sure. But they didn't have the term bisexual then, so in that case, I don't see how your point makes sense.

If you think he'd identify as male using today's standards, then we can make the same assumption about today's standards for bisexual. He might very simply have looked at the term and said "yup, I like doing men and women". There's no reason to assume he wouldn't.

Exactly. He also wasn't male and greek for the same reason.

I'm guessing a long islander with enough money to travel to Europe wouldn't fall into those categories.

 

Our town's water keeps failing to meet DEP standards, so I'm investing in a filtration system for our drinking water. What I think I'm looking for is:

  • Has a tank, since there are 5 of us
  • Filters out lead, PFAS, PFOA, etc. (Which is why I'm leaning towards RO)
  • Good warranty and customer service, for when something inevitably goes wrong
  • Remineralization (picky about water taste)
  • UV (maybe?)

Does anyone have recommendations for a quality brand, or one that they've had for years that they like? I'm not sure where to even start.

I bought a house a few months ago and I'm still trying to figure out all the wiring. I found these coming out of a cabinet in the kitchen.

I think (?) the black one is a cut-off coax cable. There's a LOT of coax in this house, so that seems straightforward (but I would still love if someone can confirm!)

I'm not sure about the other ones. They don't look electric, as I'd expect electric to be black + white + copper, like the rest of the house.

There is supposedly a speaker system in the house (I see speakers) but I haven't figured it out yet. Could that be power for the speakers? I'm not familiar with speaker wire setup. If it's speakers, why would there be so many wires?

 

I was reading about how the EU is thinking of reducing the lead used in ammunition because it's polluting the environment. I wonder if regular lead exposure at the firing range is addling people's brains.

Exercise is hitting. My brain gives up way before my body does. Even when I try and listen to music or watch shows while exercising, I just can't keep at it.

Has anyone found an ADHD friendly way to exercise?

 

A fine specimen indeed

 

I know it was a thing on reddit, but how does everyone feel about peeing on your compost? Apparently it really helps, but I've never brought myself to do it.

 

Has anyone created their own instance and modified it? How about the same for the Android client? There are some features I'm desperately missing and I'm not against DIY.
