Yet another refugee who washed up on the shore after the great Reddit disaster of 2023

  • I posted this below, but I used to be able to whistle in a way to make a modem or fax handshake and connect. Couldn't do any data, but I could make it connect.

    Jump

  • My parlor trick back in the day was that when a call came in from a modem or fax, I could whistle in a way that it would connect. Couldn't do anything past that, but it was fun.

  • World of Warcraft players are convinced Blizzard is dropping hints about a major update to a 9-year-old class

    Jump

  • I'm enjoying it on the public server. I have a couple chars that I only play with family, and a shadow priest that I just got to 60 recently and decided to join a guild (had been 100% solo prior). The guild experience is nice - good, helpful people who don't have ridiculous expectations of casual players.

  • Wouldn't be surprising.

    Meanwhile, I'm back to playing classic - same game I started 20 years ago.

  • Oh, right, I forgot about that aspect.

  • smart bed

    Jump

  • Waterbeds suck, honestly. They're great for people who have a very consistent body temp and don't have a partner. Get warm or cold in the middle of the night? Tough, it takes ages to change the temp of a huge mass of water. Partner with a different comfort zone? Too bad.

  • Notice how so many christians will say that the problem with the world is a lack of emphasis on god (which is why we need prayer in school, etc.), but the vast majority of these murderers are conservative christians?

  • The No Kings protests was paid by Walmart

    Jump

  • Christy Walton has been outspoken and supportive of the movement, but I haven't seen evidence that she's bankrolling it. She for sure doesn't speak for the company, which is more conservative.

  • South Carolina Republican Rep. RJ May distributed hundreds of child porn files under username ‘joebidennnn69’: feds

    Jump

  • Is that what Republicans mean when they say "Think of the children?"

  • I went to my first protest! 😊

    Jump

  • I couldn't join the local protest (southern California) because I had something I couldn't avoid for the first half and had to be reachable by phone for the second half, but I did drive through it. It was much as you described yours. Really an incredible turnout - I was really taken aback by the number of people. Lots of supportive honking. My buddy who went felt just like you did and said some of the same things.

  • Photos of anti-Trump 'No Kings' demonstrations across the US

    Jump

  • One interesting thing at my local one in southern California: several people were waving large state flags. Lots of American flags as well, but I thought the state flags were interesting.

  • Photos of anti-Trump ‘No Kings’ demonstrations across the US

    Jump

  • I couldn't be available for the first half of out local one (SoCal), and had to stay phone accessible for the second half, but I drive through it. Honestly, the turnout was insane. I saw the huge crowd at the intersection where it was supposed to be, and thought it was really impressive. Then I drove through it and the crowd was just thicker and thicker as I went - it went for blocks. My friend went and he said it was a great experience - everyone was peaceful. Lots of cops, but just being present they way they should be when there are thousands of people on the street.

    Hopefully this time there's more news coverage. This AP story is a good start.

  • Judge issues a temporary ruling against Trump using the National Guard in LA

    Jump

  • Article updated to say that an appeals court has overturned that ruling, so Trump ca still control them for now, unfortunately.

  • Well, that's bullshit. There are several groups of white, European immigrants that have non-trivial illegal populations, but none of those have been raided. Only black and Latino.

  • Plus it's a horrible job. My dad was also a general contractor, and where we live is very hot and dry in the summer. I remember, as a kid, seeing roofers on top of a house in 100+ F heat, mopping hot tar; I thought that must be the worst job there was. When I got older and started working in aerospace, when my boss would say he needed someone to do some unfun task, I'd always volunteer because I'd be thinking, "this is so much better than mopping tar on a hot roof."
