What's your "weird flex"?
  • I can perform almost any activity in adidas slides, and have for the last 20 years of my life and have yet to twist my ankle. Hiking? No problem. Running? Totally cool!

  • Joe 3:16
  • So Don Jr is rubbing coke publicly on his gums at a SpaceX launch, yet nobody is coming for him? He is a gun owner.

  • Here is a fun fact, if every church housed 2 homeless people, there would be no homeless in America.

  • I live in the green part (obesity map)
  • A good way to sample is a hospital or Dr office waiting room.

  • Benches have been removed for your inconvenience
  • Yeah, and some people want or need to sit.

  • Binary search
  • In what ways do you use it in your daily life? Genuinely curious.

  • Biden Issues a ‘Full and Unconditional Pardon’ of His Son Hunter Biden
  • Because Republicans will always just move the goal posts. Surprised he didn't pardon all crimes he did, including that messy diaper at 18 months old... Republicans will stoop to anything

  • Biden Issues a ‘Full and Unconditional Pardon’ of His Son Hunter Biden
  • Selective enforcement is one of the justifications for jury nullification, so it seems that it should apply for pardons too.

    It took them 8 years to find something with Hunter to be charged with. It was maybe the biggest political witch hunt ever. If you conduct a witch hunt, you're going to find "witches". Is this really what conservatives are scratching at? Because I would love for them to look at the last 5 year of dispensary ID logs and compare them to FID forms.

  • No need to boil the ocean
  • I have a family member that converted to some weird Christian Judaism (don't ask me), has always been super into oils, and more recently became an anti-Vax and raw milk person. So that scene is more diverse... haven't spoken to her since she went cray, but I would bet most of my money that she is MAGA too now.

  • Is this common on social media? I have only ever seen it on Tiktok... but I only use Lemmy and tiktok.

  • Journalists flock to Bluesky as X becomes increasingly 'toxic'
  • You may be right, but I think it's more likely than say deporting 10 million immigrants, or cutting spending by more than discretionary spending, or a number of things that people think are likely to happen. It's not like conservative rags are actually going to tell their readers the truth anyway.

  • Journalists flock to Bluesky as X becomes increasingly 'toxic'
  • It wouldn't surprise me. He just partners with Truth Social and says that TS and Xitter will be the new government communication method and should be funded by the government. Probably will say it's more efficient or something.

    This is going to be a corruption free for all.

  • Brrrr
  • I liked the individualized superpower aspect, I just wish there was more world building. I have definitely read worse books.

  • Anyone have experience with using a trailer with ebikes?
  • This has been incredibly helpful, thank you. I might just get a seat on the rear rack for now until I can gauge how much she enjoys it, I didn't realize how comparably affordable they are.

  • Anyone have experience with using a trailer with ebikes?
  • I don't have the trailer yet, wanted to make sure I figure out the hitch situation first.

    Here is the back of the bike

  • Journalists flock to Bluesky as X becomes increasingly 'toxic'
  • Can it implode? Leon can just keep burning money to keep it alive. It's going to probably be funded by the government soon anyway.

  • President Biden pardons his son Hunter Biden
  • I don't think it's that simple, if the only reason your family members were persecuted was for political reasons to begin with. Let's not pretend that conservatives actually care about this law, if they did then most of their influencers and celebrities would be in prison for this. You could start with Joe Rogan who talks all the time about his drug use and hunting past times.

  • Crypto entrepreneur eats banana art he bought for $6.2m
  • It's wasteful not to eat a free banana. It's just money laundering

  • India banned a Chinese app four years ago. Government agencies are still using it
  • Is there an easy list of recommded foss alternatives to apps someone has put together? It would be awesome if someone simply made something where you type in the name of an existing app on your phone and it listed the best rated foss alternative/gave a brief summary of its pros.

    I have an Aipas Ebike and want a trailer for my child, but I am not sure they are compatible?

    Anyone have experience with this and recommendations or products or modifications needed?

    Did something about mass produced ice cream change like 10 years ago?

    Maybe I am going crazy, but I have noticed a difference about ice cream and its only been Maybe the last 8-10 years was when I first noticed it.

    Ice cream from the supermarket doesn't seem to melt properly, and is also way too soft. This seems most noticeable in novelties now, but also most hard ice cream as well.

    Did they add some component to make it softer or less likely to freezer burn? Am I just going crazy?

    (US, but I assume anywhere else where the same brands are sold have had the same issue.)

    Best first person shooters for PS5?

    I am looking for first person shooter type games (that preferably have an active multi player base) for PS5. My preference is for more type RPG games with a lot of permanent upgrades for the weapon, character, skill, etc. The more focused on upgrade and specialization the better.

    Excluding suggestions COD, Borderlands and Xdefiant.

    If you could only have 1GB of entertainment data, what would it be?

    You are going away, to some place isolated... in space, of course. You will only be around one other person. You can take an allotment if 1GB of personal media with you (text, video, music, games, pics, etc.) that you will be able to access in your free time indefinitely at will.

    The other person will also take 1GB with them, but you won't be able to talk to them until you're on the journey.

    You will have access to any knowledge resources to perform your function and keep you alive. You will never return to a point where you can get new external media. Any additional media you ever access would have to be created by you and or your travel partner with what you have access to.

    You will also not know the sex of your partner, but they have willingly taken the same risks to embark on the journey as yourself, and will have a similar mission.

    Do deaf people play media with sound on?

    I was wondering if deaf people commonly watch movies or TV with the sound on to feel the sound/music? Or is there not a sense of enjoyment if it can't be heard?

    What do I need to trouble shoot second hand desktop computer? And how?

    [Resolved!]

    I traded my cousin some really expensive RAM that I happened accross for his old desktop, that he put his graphics card into that he swapped from his newer computer. If I plug the desktop into the wall and try to turn it on nothing happens. If I open it up I can see that the where the wire from the power supply plugs into the graphics card there Is a little light on. So clearly some power is getting somewhere...

    How do I go about trouble shooting this, and what tools do I need? I assume at minimum a multi meter? Not really sure what to do, it's been decades the last time I built a computer.

    Board says "Asrock H110M-HDS"

    Edit: Attached a Pic and noticed the light is actually on the graphics card, not motherboard. Added addtl info.

    Update: So now all of the sudden the fan spins. I am at a loss as to why it spins now, as I haven't actually really done anything. I ordered a speaker for the mobo, so waiting for that.

    Final update: It works! I apparently had either a bad monitor or bad display port cable. But using another monitor with DVI I was able to finally get it to fully boot!

    I am not sure what got the fans to eventually work, maybe just a cable was jostled.

    I really appreciate all the advice! I definitely know a lot more and feel better equipped to do things with it now.
