I'm guessing some cheap demo/insurance fraud. I haven't seen much good come out of Fresno's leadership these past years.

I had issues with mine, nothing was sticking to it causing 100% failures. I forgot where I read it but I ended up scrubbing it good with one of those slightly abrasive green pads in warm dawn dish soap, drying it with a clean microfiber cloth and putting it on the bed with the heat set to 60c for a few minutes. It now works extremely well with pla or petg, I just wipe it down with a bit of 90% alcohol between prints. Never had any issues with the smooth and satin sheets.

Same type of people that would have a real doll. There is a mental health crisis unfolding before us but instead of spending money to address it and help, the wrong people are exploiting it to further enrich themselves.

The majority of the farms around me are cash crops, not providing food for survival. I'm in central California and all I see here is almonds, pistachios, tomatoes and cows. We need to get rid of these since it's just wasted space that's doomed to fail as it's using up valuable resources to profit the few that own them.

We have one acre and we grow a variety of different veggies, trying to grow with sustainable methods like regenerative farming practices. We trade with other like minded people and my wife donates excess to the local church to help feed the poor. We need more people doing this and less of the big corporate farmers lining their pockets while everyone else suffers.

Screw these bailouts

No debt but still have pile of unopened letters. It's a huge relief when I finally tackle them and realize it's mostly just junk mail. Only to find it was pile from last year and this year's pile was on the other side of the desk to be anxiously avoided until I have the willpower to do it again in a few months. Then I remember that's how I got badly in debt in the first place.

It gets easier. Then harder! Then I find sonething new to dive into and forget all about it again

Needs more Brawndo cuz it's what the plants crave!

I think it was Robin Williams that said something like that politicians should wear Nascar like suits so we can see who owns them. But ya, screw the corporate interests

Can't he just release the files himself? Enough with the theatrics, this is going to be one hell of a cover up

I'll chime in as someone who was on BBS scene back in the early 90s. Back then, the internet was a godsend for a nerd (unaware of being on the spectrum) like me since I was able to connect with like minded people around the globe, reading and sharing conversations that would not exist in real life since I was stuck in a small town. It was a place of learning and acceptance since in real life I couldn't connect with my peers in school and my awkward social gatherings. The majority of online interactions were positive and I was able to learn from those experiences, which looking back helped me grow as an individual.

Fast forward to today, the majority of internet is garbage. The bane of it is unhinged social media and it's AI moderated crap coupled with corporate interests to profit off of everything. Advertising is toxically being forced fed everywhere, as are unrealistic expectations for every aspect of life for young people to consume. There are very few places to go that offer those experiences like I had in those days past. Watching what today's kids and teens are subjected to break my heart as the majority are being exposed to the worst of humanity.

I think without some sort of internet revolution and regulation of the crap, it's only getting worse... Especially when reports like this have been more prominent lately. Sad to see the (d)evolution of something like the internet experience go on how it's been going. I really hope something changes or stories like this are going to be more mainstream and the situation will be taken out of context for the profiteering corporate class. Unfortunately the clowns running this country (USA) have no concept of what is really going on and only see profit in corrupt bribery. I'm thankful for communities like Lemmy but it's only a matter of time before this goes to shit like everything else before it.

The Bailey's were known to watch Kimmel from time to time.

Replace Harris with Democrats and then you're talking. Not sure why he's pointing fingers at Harris when he's already brought up the real issue: oligarchs.

Only for the office to call you and reschedule the follow up appointment

I remember reading articles about the people ending up with bad pneumonia from those black market weed vapes because they were vaping actual oil, which coating your lungs is deadly. I don't think anyone actually got popcorn lung, which was from the diacetyl in the custard flavored vapes. The history of that was from using that chemical in the fake butter popcorn factories, hence popcorn lung. It was a buzzword they loved throwing around to try and get people off the deadly vapes. Those days are behind me now, they helped me and countless friends off the real smokes.
