Sucks to suck I guess, market conditions change, time to get a car not built by a nazi and actively acting as a rolling surveillance system for a nazi?

but what acid would be unable to eat through a water balloon, but still strong enough to eat through automotive paint?

Paint strippers often come in plastic bottles, but destroys the bond between paint and metal.

Also even light acids like vinegar can be enough to etch and damage, but not remove paints - or in the case of the cybertruck, accelerate corrosion on the stainless.

It's probably made up bullshit to legitimize Moron's desire to call tesla vandalism "terrorism" and throw people in jail

Absolutely zero idea why something like this would catch on fire. None at all. A complete mystery.

Looks like I made the right choice pulling most of my 401k out of stock/blended funds and into stable bonds.

Here's the carrot on a stick to get the working class to shut up for a couple extra months, do not believe for a second that this will ever come to fruition

thanks I never want to hear real life described as "meat space" ever again

This seems a bit too nitpicky tbh.
The author is correct, Signal is not "perfect", because the weakest link is always the endpoint device and the end user. Which is kind of the whole point of this article; The issue is not that Signal was used, as it's reasonably secure, it's that the people using it are not secure at all.

Makes sense why Musk wanted X to become the "everything" app, including for mobile payments.

 

Context for the inexperienced: these are cone seat GM lugnuts, the cone portion is supposed to face IN towards the wheel as they are self centering, not OUT... guy didn't know wtf he was doin

Firefox latest on Android 14, web front-end

Images seem to work fine now after the 19.4 upgrade.
Except when posting images via direct upload. I've tried to post an image with body description a couple times now to another community and as soon as I hit submit, it just instantly removes the image and doesn't post anything, leaving me on the create post page.

Edit: Pretty sure this is a front end bug as I had to hit submit twice to make this post. When you hit submit it jumps to the top of the page first.

Legend: Candidate Name (party, %of vote)

Vote tallies current as of 12:30am PST, May 22nd 2024
(Due to lower voter turnout in primaries, most ballots are already counted by this time and these totals are unlikely to change significantly by the election certification date.)

Please see title link to the official Secretary of State page for complete and accurate election results.

Statewide Positions
Secretary of State: Tobias Read (D, 71%) will run against disgraced state senator (who is barred from running for senate) Dennis Linthicum (R, 65%)

State Treasurer: Elizabeth Steiner (D, 78%) will run against another disgraced state senator who is barred from running, Brian Boquist (R, uncontested)

Attorney General: Dan Rayfield (D, 76%) will run against Will Lathrop (R, 64%)

Other Notable Contested Races:
US Representative, 3rd Dist: Current State Rep Maxine Dexter (D, 50.7%) beats out former Multnomah county commissioner Susheela Jayapal (D, 28.5%)

State Representative, 12th Dist: Darin Harbick (R, 82%) beats out current representative Charlie Conrad (R, 18%) for the republican nomination. No other candidates filed for any other party, so Harbick is the de-facto winner of the position.
Conrad faced this primary challenge by Harbick due to his Yes vote on HB2002 that created legal protections for abortion rights and transgender care. Conrad was publicly censured and disowned by the state Republican Party due to his vote not toeing the party line. Read more here.

Personally Irksome:
State Senate District 28: Diane Linthicum (R, 59%), the wife and co-conspirator of disgraced senator Dennis Linthicum, beats out current Klamath County Commissioner Dave Henslee (R, 41%) for the republican nomination. No other candidates filed for any other party, so Linthicum is the de-facto winner of the position.
Mrs. Linthicum has no real world qualifications to be Senator beyond being the husband of the current disgraced Senator, and has all but openly said she is only running to be the mouth of her husband as to bypass the election restrictions.

Notable core gameplay changes:

  • you can now claim authorship of NPC ships after you hack them so that npc pcu limits are correct (and your ownership is also correct)
  • destroyed cargo containers now have a temporary storage item that drops with everything in it instead of puking out 750 thousand items and creating a lag bomb
  • there is now a communications block that can send chat messages
  • there is now ways to wirelessly send actions between grids, a HUGE advancement to automation

This is shaping up to be a fantastic core update. Looking forward to playing it.

As I'm graduating college in a few weeks, I'll be losing access to my university's free printers and filament. I'm going to build up a home lab with a couple printers where I can make goofy little mechanical projects as well as some components for my cars and stuff.

Who's your go-to for PLA and ABS/ASA filaments? Those will be my primary print jobs in any serious volume. I know our college's club has had hella problems with random chinese brand filaments not printing consistently but I also don't want to spend $30+ per kg for something like Prusament.

 

Conrad has secured a huge amount of aid for his district (HD12). But he also supported HB2002 (the abortion/gender care access bill) and the state party ditzes are mad about it.

Looking into his stances and voting history he seems super level headed. Since the district is likely to go Republican regardless, he should be supported over the other party-line man.

I've been having a bit of trouble loading the lemmy site today. It times out and takes ages to load quite often. I tested with other websites (Wikipedia, a school website, google) and while my mobile data is... not fast, it is not as slow as db0 is running.

I started thinking about it and I feel like loading performance has been slower than usual for a few days even...

Can anyone else confirm degraded performance today or am I trippin'?

Edit: using latest Firefox running uBlock origin on Android 14 if that matters. S21 Ultra.
