  • I'd just hold it until I got back from the moon

  • The ACA is good because it banned several horrible things, but it could be better.
  • The ACA immediately lowered the cost for insurance. I know because in 2007 my healthy, 28yr old, non-smoking ass tried to get private health insurance. The cheapest, emergency-only coverage I could get was over $600/mo. After the ACA was enacted I could get a similar plan for under $200. I hadnt had health insurance for 10 years by then cause I was kicked off my dad's when I turned 18, not 26 like it is now.

  • How Popular Are Meat-Free Diets?
  • Half my meals are meat-free. To balance things out I skip vegetables the other half.

  • New home need direction
  • Is fiber an option where you live? Im in a 1940 home, got a 500mb fiber connection and the modem/router box and that's it. From my basement a floor below the router I get 500 up and down through wifi with <10ms latency. After testing that I didn't bother running wire anymore. No repeaters or special antennas and plenty of speed everywhere.

  • CEO of AI ad-tech firm pledging “world free of fraud” sentenced for fraud - Ars Technica
  • Put up all the top corporations on a dart board and throw a dart. Hit fraud everytime

  • What do you do if you encounter a skunk?
  • You just have to smell worse than the skunk and they will see you as the alpha. So I recommend to quit bathing and eat a lot of fermented fish to start. Get creative and work on your own master stink.

  • Lemmy told me to make a lamb cake. Went about as well as I expected.
  • Is there lamb underneath the frosting?

  • The internet used to come through the phone, now the phone goes through the internet.
  • Messages used to be carried by passenger pigeon. Then they didn't need them anymore and they went extinct. So either the terminator or the matrix is our future.

  • The Bidens want back in
  • Hey! It's a step up from holding a sign at least.

  • Donald Trump suggests US could join British Commonwealth
  • Dementia is a hell of a drug

  • The Bidens want back in
  • Biden should have deported Trump to El Salvador when he had the chance. Now any one of us could be sent there. I got my Anarchy tshirt out and I'm not afraid to use it.

  • The watchlist cannae hold any more, cap'n!
  • If I leave it in my YT watch later list, eventually it will get deleted years down the road and I'll have saved the time by not watching it.

  • What are the things you think of when you hear the word "China"? (Or in other words: What are you first impressions of China?)
  • I lived there for 2 years. I'm familiar with the propaganda. It was easy for me to ignore since I wasn't going to be a permanent resident.

    I see the same propaganda here. its gotten us in multiple unwinnable wars and is now stripping away our democracy. It's why we have terrible, expensive healthcare and why gun related deaths are the #1 killer of children. Neither place is utopia. But now I get to worry about my country deporting naturalized citizens which is a thing I never thought I needed to worry about.

  • What are the things you think of when you hear the word "China"? (Or in other words: What are you first impressions of China?)
  • Well I can't speak from a Chinese/Uyghur perspective, only from what I know and have seen. I doubt you will find many Chinese residents that would say China is more dangerous than the US. A more divided opinion here for sure. The data proves it, in total murders and per capita. I've been all over their cities at all times of night and would not do that here, especially in the city I live in now. The things you are saying that is bad about China I think is worse here. I don't think any Chinese resident is worried about getting shot while driving down the highway and I've lived thru those periods here, in the places it was happening. Just doing a direct comparison. If you've visited China I would find it hard to believe you would find it more dangerous.

  • What are the things you think of when you hear the word "China"? (Or in other words: What are you first impressions of China?)
  • Dude that is the USA. They do have knife guys occasionally but nothing is as terrifying as being a US grade student with an active shooter warning on campus. Besides Japan I've never felt safer that over there.

  • What are the things you think of when you hear the word "China"? (Or in other words: What are you first impressions of China?)
  • Massive cities with LED buildings, beautiful mountains with paved hiking trails all the way to the top and gondolas to get down, Long queues that are still orderly and move quickly, families eating large meals outside, friendly and very curious people.

    I've spent a lot of time there. Compared to the west the cost of living is super cheap especially for all the options and amenities you get. Even in the hippest part of Chongqing I could rent an apartment 2x the size of my house for half the mortgage. If the US is headed towards a permanent authoritarian regime I would trade life here for over there. At least their dictator appreciates science and education.

  • Commerce secretary urges Fox News viewers to buy Tesla stock: ‘Elon Musk is probably the best person to bet on!’
  • As he was saying it they showed the Vegas video of Teslas on fire. Delicious irony.

  • Google is now forcing gemini in their gmail app

    I have an enterprise account and they added this button today. Guess what used to be there? The profile image where you could so conveniently swipe up or down to switch between gmail accounts. This is the kind of UI garbage that makes you want to move your entire company to another service just because you can.

    Missing cat, found!

    My 19yr old immortal kitty Orion was just found, nearly a week after he wandered off. He's old and his vision/hearing isn't the best. While I kept looking and giving all the neighbors flyers I was prepared for the worst. Nothing has ever loved me so unconditionally and I am so grateful for his return.

    The older I get the more movies just blur together

    I still don't understand why they didn't take a European Swallow to Mt Doom but what do I know :|

    Last days of summer

    Orion, 19/M, single When he was young he snuck into my engine bay (older wrangler with plenty of space), went all the way to work (1.5hr commute), waited all day (luckily in covered parking), and then popped out when I got home.
