nor serve any additional term after serving two consecutive terms

Why do I get the impression that this specific detail is was put in to preclude Obama? Being about the only living D former president they might worry about. Going to have to brush up on my amendment procedures but I seem to recall it needing either 2/3 or 3/4 of Congress to even get to the states.

I’m at 200+ owned on GOG here, takes a lot less physical space than all those GME disks I used to pick up.

Yes… but not really relevant to discussions of businesses not actively trying to completely crush the middle class here?

Nearest Costco is about 45 minutes from me so while it looks like a decent replacement to Target, it’s going to have be a bit more planned that just pop out for a quick thing.

Still sort of working on how to keep track of who all I need to avoid. It may only be a small amount but I’m a stubborn one when it comes to avoiding shops. The city pissed me off once so I refused to use their municipal beer shop for like a decade after.

Ford used to say something to the effect of ‘pay your workers well enough to afford the product they’re building’ and it seemed to work well.

Nothing really aside from the annoyance of living where everything is 20 miles apart makes shopping at multiple small shops quite time consuming.

Somehow advanced quantum computing ends up with a steampunk aesthetic.

That too, though I haven’t had reason to go there just yet. Curious to see some stats over the year to see if there’s a notable bump for them due to standing against the trend to kill DEI.

At the rate these chains are telling me to fuck off with my business and ignore them I’m gonna end up with nothing but farmer markets and crafts shows to shop at…

I could see two significant problems here.

1: people getting lazy and just chucking everything into the generic bucket and the admins/global mods having a mess to deal with.

2: I’m the event of an ability to move content to another community other than the instance ‘global’ how do you deal with cross-instance moves? For example if the most prominent version of a comm is on one instance but a post gets put on another, the logical place would be to be on the more prominent community, but just dumping posts on another instance isn’t going to be well received I would guess.

I’m kind of mixed on that depending on the game. In general I say I’d rather the kids play a game than watch a show because it’s interactive rather than just pushing mush into their face.

The other side though is how so many games (most notoriously mobile ones) are so keyed into scratching those little itches to keep someone playing for way longer than should be healthy.

A lot of people using official channel emulators probably don’t think of it as emulation. I have one of the original style PS3 systems where it had PS2 hardware to play the older games. Does that count as emulation or using an older system? Hard to say where one draws the line.

Internet culture is a leaky thing. A major chunk of meme and comic formats where born in 4chan and they’ve been adopted virtually everywhere on the web despite coming from a place that takes a certain level of self hate to stomach for any length of time. Lemmy is functionally a clone of reddit right down to the logo similarity. Trying to claim that somehow it’s a different unique corner of the web and exercise in futility.

This needs a theydidthemath comm to post to. 🙂

Jammie Rasset got tagged for $1.9M for sharing 24 songs, so if we extend the per instance to this case I’m pretty sure Meta owes more money than has existed in human history…

Just need to be sure to buy all the flairs and special options and it’ll surely work this year…

I think I get what you mean, but validating the origin of a particular piece wouldn’t do much for verifying the content. So such of the misinfo that’s put out is taking some small snip of a broader story and reframing it in a way that makes the situation out differently.

My 2018 Chev Trax may be the perfect level of tech for my tastes. Climate stuff is all physical, but it has a nice screen that you can hook a phone to through a USB or Bluetooth to pass maps/audio/calls through it with the audio and calls being controllable by buttons on the wheel.

The only actual car operation buttons on the screen are things you wouldn’t do when driving anyhow like decide if it locks automatically or setting the default volume.

Most obnoxious thing it does is keep reminding me that the sat radio subscription is expired when I start it.

Absolutely fucking not.

Though it does sound like a good kicker for the after market systems to make a comeback.

Generally yes, but it can be useful as a learning thing. A lot of my homelab use is for purposes of practicing with different techs in a setting where if it melts down it’s just your stuff. At work they tend to take offense of you break prod.
