Bats eat their weight in mosquitoes every night, unlike your typical hoa board member

Here's a $120usd FLIR - how does it compare with a cheap plug in USB phone module?

Guess it's just missing a mounting case?

Sentence him to community service, picking up trash on the side of the highway in an orange jumpsuit. 40 hours per count.

He wants to be jailed for his fundraising wet dream, so don't give him that.

Ed: looks like it's getting some traction! (gift link)

20240520 UPDATE: I just ran winupdate on an ancient win10 surface and after the same 643 error two more times, and running through all the available updates, it's now reporting I'm up to date. yippee.
I guess the latest update finally fixed it, at least on the Surface.

Anyone tried and succeeded? Not too awful plodding through the resizing? Tips to avoid destroying a partition and having to reinstall the os?

My pixel phone has meager storage. Could I use an old phone with bountiful SD space to serve up media via Bluetooth?

Any ideas if this would work practically speaking?

Edit: Looking for a functional equivalent of on-device storage space, i.e., for offline media consumption

USB phone jack is often used for power, so it's unlikely available for OTG storage

Battery life in the server phone should be ok since it will be running in airplane mode with only Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth, and display off mostly

Let's hope they can find a way to smoothly transition to a non-growth economy. The planet needs to downsize and someone needs to show the way.

Worse than that, she asked and was told by an election official it was ok to vote. Then was arrested and imprisoned.

I believe she was recently released thankfully but damage done.

It goes right to the point that there is a well oiled Biden machine team that makes things run and the contrast is stark.

Orange shitstain's team of racist Christo-fashists is hard at work too and out to destroy democracy.

Fuck you CDC. Long Covid is real.

Just leave 5 days as a recommendation. What's the harm in that? fuckers.

Ed: CDC could do better to protect people, but instead bend to capitalist (mostly GQP) forces to ignore that edict and get sick people back out working.

This could really hurt his other legal cases. Lawyers will be less enthused to represent him if he might go bankrupt on them and not pay the bill.

And they will be more likely to demand retainer at onset. One recently demanded $3M retainer before starting.

When will we start to investigate politicians and media figures for ties to our adversaries?

It's a fundamental national security concern and needs to be part of the security clearance program.

That's why we don't talk about it

[-] Pretzilla@lemmy.world 80 points 10 months ago

Yea it's become highly enshittified and actively punishes users that don't subscribe. Fuckers.

Mob boss warns: “I just hope we get fair treatment,” Trump said at an Iowa rally Friday. “Because if we don’t, our country’s in big, big trouble. Does everybody understand what I’m saying?”

Trump also complained of Democrats casting doubt on the court because Trump appointed three of its justices, claiming that they are attempting to put undue political pressure on the court’s decisions.

“They’re saying, ‘Oh, Trump owns the Supreme Court, he owns it. He owns it. If they make a decision for him, it will be terrible. It’ll ruin their reputations,” he said. “‘He owns the Supreme Court. He put on three judges. He owns the Supreme Court. If they rule in his favor, it will be horrible for them. And we’ll protest at their houses.’”

“That puts pressure on people to do the wrong thing. What they’re doing is no different than Bobby Knight,” he continued, referring to the legendary college basketball coach famous for raucous arguments with referees.

91 but who's counting. And keep it in perspective - the average is two felony indictments each for all POTUSes
