Q: “Are we doomed?” A: “We would be, if not for the amazing developments in renewable energy.” ( powering-the-planet.ghost.io )

I wasn't aware just how good the news is on the green energy front until reading this. We still have a tough road in the short/medium term, but we are more or less irreversibly headed in the right direction.

I'm the King of Dragon Pass. Without using a guide...

Favourite patient modern game?

A bit of a weird title, but basically what’s a game that’s more than a year old but still considered “modern” that you love? There’s no real strict definition for modern, I’d just like to see some discussion around great games that aren’t quite classics yet (but probably will be one day)....

If you don't rock and stone, you ain't goin' home.

Your efforts would be more sincere if you used complete sentences.

Yes, their evil plot finally laid bare. Copy what Mastercard and Visa have been doing since the 80s.

[US] I'm hesitating launching my own business because I'd lose health insurance for my family. What are my options?

I have everything pretty much ready to launch full time. Time, skills, customers, support from family. But I'd leave my current job behind and with it my family's health insurance for the foreseeable future. I can't afford any of the options I've seen. It's the one thing holding me back. Any ideas for affordable health insurance...

Depending on the state, you may be able to get access via the health insurance marketplace.

Western Maryland has tried several times to secede to West Virginia. They could never afford it, and West Virginia can't either. I imagine it is the same situation here.

Some leaf blowers are also leaf suckers but it can get a bit messy since they usually mulch the leaves, too.

Oh, I get it. It's because they don't have any phones on their heads.

The petroleum industry as it stands today wouldn't exist without human rights abuses. It's almost a prerequisite for large scale success in the capitalist reality in which we live.

What is an American law that's equivalent to this?

Tikiporch ,

You're naive if you think it won't work.

Tikiporch ,

No, not that at all. What they did is unlawful in the US as well.

Impact to tourism notwithstanding, Turks and Caicos imports 75% of its goods from the US, which also supplies 99% of its petrol. They're not putting anyone in jail for 12 years because the person accidentally had two pistol rounds in their carry-on, let alone a citizen of their biggest trade partner.

The US, and certainly it's government, is not a monolith.

The 90s only looked like that on film sets and at rich people's homes.

Time to spin it off into a subsidiary operating company with no climate goals to meet.

No, the university gets to license it and squeeze all the cash out first. Try again in 15 years.

Obscure screw added so appliance cannot be disassembled ( lemmy.world )

Basic blender went bad (motor ran but spindle wasn't rotating). I wanted to disassemble to see if it could be repaired. Three of the four screws were Phillips head. I had to cut the casing open in order to discover why I couldn't unscrew the fourth. It was a slotted spanner.

Must be your eyesight, my friend. Looks normal to me...

More like Great Horny Owl, am I right people?

The fascination is that you have an audience.

They spelled Iraq with a K, it's probably safe to assume you're tilting at a windmill but nonetheless it's good to oppose straight up stupidity.

Personally, only three, but they're not hard for English speakers to learn. Most Americans only speak English though.

When you refer to America when typing in English, do you say États-Unis or Estados Unidos?

I like his short hair and whiskers. I think I'll go shave my cat entirely so he matches and see if YouTube has instructions how to declaw cats at home while I'm at it.

Just kidding, only trying to provoke the concern trolls in here.

Tikiporch ,

Looks like an AI crafted response to me.

Tikiporch ,

I've had Amazon delay refunding items I have returned for months for no reason. I have had to show them the tracking number shows delivered before customer service will issue the refund.

I think because on other manufacturer android phones, like Samsung, you'd have to de-Google and also de-Samsung.
