It's not just that she doesn't understand electricity demand, or recycling, or that everything we burn for fuel once it is used up goes into her lungs, it's also that she thinks solar farms appear on people's land with our anyone talking to them or compensating them first.

Dog was being rambunctious, so I asked if she needed to do something, she jumped and looked at the door, asked it she needed to go for a bicycle ride, she ran to the door then back to me. Brought her out to the garage and she jumped in the trailer behind the acoustic bike.
We all know calling the president doesn't move any needle in any direction. What exactly do you plan to bribe the president with? How many Minnesotan children be sent to the Epstein ballroom to appease the Whitehouse? How much of the BWCA will you feed to Trump's ego so he does the things?

Imagine if drinking birds disappeared tomorrow, could you still get through your day with out a drinking bird or any other mouse jiggler? Imagine drinking birds were suddenly banned. Would you be able to give them up?

The posting for my position won't go up for at least 6 months. It's not that my org loves me, it's that they hate paying anyone a salary, and make it hard to do that. Empty positions take a year or more to fill because of dozens of consecutive approvals (could be parallel but that'd be faster).
Mark Kelly@markjkelly.bsky.social · yesterdayI have attended too many meetings about crafting a mission statement for organizations I have worked for. Always remember the posting to fill your position will be up before your obituary! I put in an honest effort for my paycheque but my family comes before my employer.
I'd have an extra day every week from the time I didn't have to spend talking the people down after they got pages of confidently wrong information from AI. course I'd have to gives those people the correct information instead of them going to AI from the start, but that would be easier*.

You can make this ok by removing 1 flag or adding the 1893 flag AND the 1957 flag. Though the 1893 flag has to be double sided and you have to display it in a way that shows off both sides.
Brandon Kennedy@bicycleidiot.bsky.social · 24h agoWent outside to visit with the neighbors. One guy had both Minnesota state flags displayed in his garage. This is some problematic shit. You gotta pick a side.

Interesting to learn that creating new federal laws is a function of the DoJ, wonder if the Senate is ok with being usurped like this ... Guess we'll know for sure when they confirm him and disband the Senate as government waste.

So, is McConnell dead yet? Do we not get the announcement until tomorrow?
If Biden had imagined video tapes that don't exist and then forgot the word "video" people would have demanded his resignation... Specifically the people that still support the "moving cameras" guy.

We've know what he thinks is beautiful... And frankly I'm glad that blue cities don't look like 13 year old girls.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTrump: "Look at the blue cities. What do they have in common? They're all dirty. They're filthy dirty. Their streets are dirty. Their streets smell. Their storefronts are broken. Their trees are all gross. Everything about the place is dirty. It's really all of them."

Hell Gate *subscribe today!*@hellgatenyc.com · 2d agoThis past weekend, former Mayor Eric Adams was in Wisconsin Rapids—population 18,654—trying to convince residents that they should allow a real estate developer to build a data center in the heart of their town.

We could send trump to negotiate the peace treaty in person. Maybe they put him in trial for war crimes, maybe they murder him straight out, maybe they sit down and listen to him talk... The worst case scenario is that they send him back, and we end up at the status quo.

Dug maybe ½-¾ of the weed elms coming up in the front grass out... Normally they'd just get mowed over, but I also don't mow brown grass... So now that the rooms are gone the grass is a more consistent color, sure it would be nice if that color was green, but 🤷♂️
Clearance rate for property crime is what? 15% Now that's the number where a cop managed to point his finger at someone and say "That's the guy" to the satisfaction of OTHER COPS. It's not property recovered or returned; certainly not a conviction, those numbers are LOWER than 15%.
Em, midly@lefttheprairie.bsky.social · 4d agoIt’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.

I own a tool similar to this, it's great. I want is the same thing in a 3/8" drive (below is 1/4"). I can find them EXCEPT none of them will function as an extension (no spot of the back to plug the ratchet into) Every year or two I think about it and search, and tool companies are let me down.
I feel like we hardly have the excess staff to correct all the "AI work" being done now, wider adoption will surely lead to "AI work" going uncorrected and millions of dollars in real world loses because of it. I guess this is to say, either the AI bubble bursts or EVERYTHING bursts.

Realizing the umbrella I've been carrying in my backpack for a while now has a logo/ad on it... It's is not an ad for big and tall men's clothing, which seems like a waste cause to see the top of an umbrella in carrying you'd need to be 7'+ tall.
100 years ago my grandparents would have been being born. (Give or take) One of my great grandparents was a factory worker... I can say for certain that May 11-July 20 1894 he was building rail cars*, and he later worked for Ford in a factory Wikipedia tells me opened in 1924.
