What are some good uses for smart phones? (lemmy.world)

We have these amazing little computers in our hands. What are some beneficial things we can do with them? Websites, apps, tinkering... anything you can think of or things you already do. I'm tired of doom scrolling.

Is it possible for an neighbor's apartment to have mice but not mine? (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 week ago by raynethackery@lemmy.world to c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

I just found out that my neighbor that I share a wall with is moving out because of "the mouse issue." This is the first I've heard about it. I'm pretty sure I don't have mice. I haven't found any chewed food packaging or what looks like mouse droppings. I do have a cat but I'm not confident he would know how to kill a mouse. I've never seen him chase anything on the floor but I know he will chase flying insects. I also haven't been presented with any "presents." Could he really be keeping the mice from my apartment by just his scent?

If we survive this, we really should switch to a matriarchal society.

So, the L.A. Times, Washington Post and New York Times are now in conservative hands. Just like the takeover of the judiciary that the Heritage Foundation coordinated. If we can ever take back our government, we need to re-institute the Fairness Doctrine, ban foreign ownership of our media and strip citizenship from this guy, Elon Musk, and any naturalized citizen that works against the best interests of America.

This thing just started popping up and I hate it. Edit - added picture of offending box.

What is in those Delectable treats that is so addicting? (lemmy.world)

Meet Seamus.

I don't understand what is in those Hartz (I know) Delectables Bisque treats that make my cat crazy. At first I thought it might be the tuna, but I tried just the chicken recipe and he still scarfs them down. They are just so expensive. I tried pureeing a can of Fancy Feast Kitten Ocean Whitefish pate because I have about 15 cans left over from his tiny kitten days. Turned his nose up at it. I even warmed it in the microwave for a few seconds. All the package says is water, chicken, natural flavor, tapioca starch, guar gum, annatto extract color, carmine color. Obviously, the tuna ones have tuna instead of chicken. What could possibly be in there? Anyone have success with some other substitute? I know there are other brands but those are even more expensive. Thanks.

Good way to get banned from large corporations. I know my compliance department isn't going to trust language like that.

Are there any communities like r/Excel on Lemmy? I searched but all I saw were Linuxmemes and Technology.

Could this result in accreditation being pulled, which could make federal student financial assistance unavailable?

Everything just seems so out of control. The US seems to be tearing itself apart. The world is on fire. We seem to be going backwards when it comes to freedom and human rights. We've turned our backs on each other. How do you cope with all this without just giving up?

Childhood vaccine exemptions are at an all-time high. Doctors worry diseases like measles could return by raynethackery in c/news@lemmy.world
[-] raynethackery@lemmy.world 75 points 2 years ago

Only when enough of these ant-vaxxers lose children to these diseases will they reverse course. Then they will blame the experts again for not warning them. I have a 2 yo great-nephew and I shudder to think of him getting some disease that we were close to wiping out. Are there no people left alive that remember polio?

So, voter intimidation. They want people to be afraid to even show up.

The Secret Service needs to keep President Biden and VP Harris far apart from each other. We can't afford to have this man become President.
