no. fucking. way. what a good Wednesday.
All I want to say is that Amtrak is definitely investing in maintaining current routes and expanding new ones. If you have an Amtrak station near you, expect it to be updated in the next 2-10 years if it wasn't recently. Also, more metro areas are in talks about expanding their connection to the system.
So are we experiencing a public rail renaissance in the US? No, but the ball is rolling.
In the meantime I have my bet on electric busses gaining more traction in California, and therefore the rest of the country.
Small world, I worked on some of the design on this. Pleased that its getting used.
Actually a decent read with some thought behind each statement.
Im a border Zillenial so I get to see both sides of this.
I recognize the older way of thinking, and I'm willing to go above and beyond because I personally love my job, but my younger cousins and siblings aren't so lucky. But the article is right they don't put up with any bullshit.
Rude manager trying to power trip? They gone.
Horrible inconsistent part time hours that won't provide stability? They gone and aren't willing to go through the system, work for years, only to get a promotion to AM and limit themselves that way.
Boss putting new responsibility's and expectations without performance acknowledgment or a raise? They gone, they didn't sign up for that without being paid for it.
They don't want to waste their life strggling and hating employment.
Life is worth living.
This might be a good move, but as someone who does construction design and is pretty consistently in the IBC, I'm hesistant to call it okay. The phrase "these building codes are written in blood" gets tossed around in my office, meaning that these safety codes are probably in place because of accidental deaths that happened.
Edit: I thought about it a bit more, and assuming that this has been properly reconsidered, this really could be a net win. The paranoid in me still likes more points of egress, but I can absolutely see this change happening.
Thats immediately how I played it; with my deck and the built in controller.
Wish the game kept me interested a little longer tho!
This is a very neat site, thanks for linking.
Anywhere my pets are. Without my dog I wouldnt have made it through college. The off leash dog park was our stress free zone.
Sorry things feel overwhelming right now. Especially when you're doing the right thing, reaching out. You got this.
AWWWWWWW GOOD NEWS YAY
Mama is so cute the way she's cleaning him then immediately he goes and rolls around on the ground.
I expect late night fast food ads are going to get pretty saucey
I don't use apple products, but this is pretty awesome. Im sure there's going to thousands of people this makes a difference for.
I like to heal and have a pet to help with soloing, so Warden is my main, but that's another thing I really really like about the progression is that all classes can tank, heal, or DPS with so many different abilities based on the weapons you use.
Obviously there's more meta picks, like a Templar was for tanking (might be out of meta by now), etc. But for real, the systems are very accomodating to build variety IMO (again people will probably disagree, but im not playing the game hardcore. Just for funzies)
Thats the main way I play tbh.
The voice acting is nice, but I won't lie questing is a bit shallower than with Skyrim. Lots of collectables, horizontal progression. Its a nice package!
It has options for group dungeons and I quite enjoyed the PvP for when you get that multiplayer itch.
Also world chat keeps things interesting lmao.
Great to hear. Im over my MMO grinding days, but ESO is still fun to hop in an for an hour and do some quests.
Mods this comment is inciting violence /s
I read the post rules and didn't see any other announcements of the Neopets TTRPG lmao. Remove if I broke the rules!
Anyways, this actually sounds like a lot of fun. Might lead to some creative scenarios, especially if your GM knows the deep and complex Neopets lore.
Hi there,
It seems that my midwest.social account has stopped showing the upvote count on posts and comments sometime over the last few days. My Lemmy.world and lemm.ee accounts show them fine still.
Ive tried logging out and back in and still no dice.
Anyone else having this bug?
Samsung Galaxy S24, latest play store build.
So I had a $50 burning a whole in my pocket after a week of my ears being particularly sore after wearing my earbuds while working. Ive seen some reviews and looked into a few sets on Amazon, so I was aware there were different styles and such.
But during a stoned Walmart trip I saw the title product on the shelf and said fuck it.
Spent all day doing house projects with them on. The little bone conducting bits sit just in front of your tiny inner ear flap and the band kind of just floats behind your head? I have long hair currently so this was mitigated by throwing a ponytail on, but also didn't seem too uncomfrtable when my hair was down. Running would be a problem with them if your longer hair was down, to give an idea of the stability.
Bass from music was lacking, and above like 80% volume they still get louder, but you can also hear the vibration motor working overtime lol. I knew this going in so it isn't a dealbreaker for me, I want to primarily use these for audiobooks and podcasts.
Would love to hear some thoughts on the tech in general if you don't have any on these specifics ones!
Hey there.
Im working on a project for some software I want in the world. But I'm such a hobbyist that I've never thought of publishing any of my projects, but after doing so much work in it I kind of want other to have access to it after I feel its ready.
Whats the process of distribution? I guess I typically use github when interacting with FOSS community, but its still confusing for me to navigate as an end user sometimes, let alone being an uploader.
FWIW its simply a few python modules and other supporting txt and jsons. Targeting mostly Windows because that's what I use.
Thanks! (If this isn't the right place to ask please let me know!)
Edit: there are a bunch of great comments here! To clarify, I want to get it functional and somewhat bug free then fully upload everything so someone can see my idea and do it better. So I think I'm going to go with unlicense, because I don't really care about getting credit or getting contributions necessarily. Thanks all!
I just sent this email over to elegoo official, so either way I'll update this post with their response for a community reference point:
"Hello, I'm having issues with my Elegoo Neptune Pro 4. I've tried following the official documentation and other resources to help fix my issue to no avail, so I am reaching out as a last ditch effort.
My issue mainly pertains to PLA prints consistently being ruined partway during printing after a few months of use and operation.
Specifically, my print will successfully complete the first few layers. Then, at some point, the print will somehow 'grab' or 'catch' the print base and drag it around the print bed, ruining the print and causing a large build up of filament at my hotend. This then requires cleaning.
From what I have seen, this can be caused by issues with the print bed not being clean or the temperature of the bed in relation to the fan speed. For example, having a low fan utilization at the beginning, then ramping up later in the print is supposed to help this issue. However any fixes I tried returned null results.
Some background info, I purchased the printer on preorder and received it in September 2023. I have kept up with maintenance. Namely, keeping stepper motor tracks cleaned and greased properly, belts tightened, the print bed is wiped down with 90% ISO alcohol between prints. I have replaced the hot-end when I first started experiencing print issues, and again during the troubleshooting process to further diagnose the problem. My Z offset seemingly is "correct". I followed the mfg instructions closely, and before this issue, my prints were coming out beautifully.
Print Settings: Using Elegoo brand PLA 1kg filament rolls. Default Elegoo Cura print settings applied for temperature, speed, fan speed, nozzle size, etc. Supports or No supports didn't make a difference during my troubleshooting. Brim printing mode is my default.
For the 4-5 months that I've had the Neptune Pro 4 has been absolutely amazing. Fantastic quality, consistent, very easy to use and maintain. The issues I'm experiencing are beyond annoying and I can't seem to figure it out myself.
Is this issue known? What are the recommended solutions?"
- Let me know if any of you have experienced something similar to this and how you addressed it!
EDIT: This is likely solved. There are many issues that can contribute to this issue but TLDR quadrouple check your z offsets. Read the thread for other good info.

I may be preaching to the choir , but I just wanted to say THANK YOU to the instance moderators and owners.
I really appreciate the welcoming attitude that a lot of our threads hold. I really like the freedom of expression we can have, as well as the disagrements that have helped broaden my worldview. I love that this is slightly more currated to our location in the world, it really helps connect local news with the people that might miss it if you're only scrolling the large social media networks or countrywide news outlets.
I am definitely biased and might be unaware of some problems, but to me the content and members here actually make me want to participate in the conversation.
So uh... yeah. Thank you.
I can try to answer any questions, but it doesn't seem like the 8bitdo Ultimate software is availible for download yet. Im not big into mechanical keyboards, this is actually my first, so I don't have much direct comparison experience to other keyboards.
but the buttons are big and f u n.
The north metro suburb gained legislative approval to pilot the program, which starts Wednesday and runs through Oct. 7.
Sounds fun.
A mostly brown and white dog sitting on a boat with the river, trees, and bright blue skies behind him. Mostly husky features with hints of lab.
So freaking adorable. Its been a little over a month, and she finally feels comfortable enough to come to my old man and pass out. Of course he's THRILLED about having a new bff. His face everytime she rubs against him is pure cheese.
