Look up the turbidity sensor

Which is how we've gotten here. Hundreds of thousands of additional people projected to die because of policies enacted by the current administration (usaid), the absolute silence from trump and his goons on gaza (yes I know Harris also supports Israel, but she seemed like she'd at least attempt to listen to us, and isn't literally buddy buddy with bibi)

This has been the argument for literally 30 years.

Yes, I totally get this, but Harris would have been better than Trump. And if the public put the same effort and pressure on her that they're putting on trump, it might have actually made some difference. Everything is conjecture though, because it didn't happen that way.

I hope there's enough socialist party support in the 2028 primaries to make a difference. If there's a good candidate, and they get enough of the vote, I'll probably swing that way. Things are so bad right now, that it may end up swinging public sentiment enough.

Inkscape it's amazing

They don't though.

Ahh, seven samurai. So damn long but so damn good.

It's also possible they were aware of both individual titles, and conflated them purposefully to elicit the response it got. Given the OCs responses to some of the comments, I'm inclined to lean into this explanation.

Which is also fascinating in its own right.

My perspective is, I'm happy the tool is being used to harm the financial interests of these awful companies. Adobe is who kicked off the whole subscription craze that swept through every other industry. These greedy assholes even steal all your personal works to feed to their AI machine as a prerequisite for using their tools.

I never understood when people say gimp is an alternative to Photoshop. Gimp is closer to MS paint than Photoshop.

Ahh yes, a third party with absolutely no support in the house. They'd get so much done, even in the 5% chance they actually get elected because the system is rigged for two parties.

Don't get me wrong. Would love a mamdani or even El sayed (sorry if it's misspelled, going off of memory) to be placed all over every part of our government. More AOC's and Sanders'. But we need to make the best short term option, not just help guarantee the win of the fascists by withholding votes or put them on a third party with no chance of winning. We're not ending this shit hole situation in a single election, so better to make progressive change than let the atrocities continue with full support from the entire government.

If it somehow becomes this asshat vs vance or something, then I'll still be voting for newsom. I'll be holding my nose as it happens, but self-serving greed and nastiness wins against outright treason and intent for public harm.

[–] nieminen@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

You'd be surprised. I thought the same thing about trump 2024. A lot of people only see newsom as a charismatic anti-trump, And don't actually see or care about his individual decisions or policies. Which, come to think of it, is very similar to how trump made it in.

 

Title sums it up. The 4-wheeler at the non-profit I'm affiliated with hadn't had an oil change in at least 2 years, they use it frequently. We'd really like an affordable option that I can do to fix.

Sound is new after changing the oil (with official Polaris kit specifically for the vehicle). Instructions from Polaris were followed exactly.

I've uploaded a video that hopefully makes the sound audible. It seems to me to be coming more from the cylinder area than anywhere else. I have another video here showing that the sound increases with engine speed, and it's obnoxiously loud.

Please let me know if there are any additional details I can provide.

Everyone involved is fully aware that at least 2 years is too damn long, so if we can skip any admonishments, that would be appreciated.

Unique goose (lemmy.world)

Hey all! There's no "whatisthisbird" that I can find, so hopefully this is welcome here.

Saw this unique fellow on my walk this morning, hanging out with all the other geese in my area. I was pretty zoomed in so the quality sucks, the video looks better, but wasn't able to upload one here.

Anywho was mostly wondering if this was a different breed or perhaps a hybrid, or just a genetic difference. If anyone knows that would be awesome! It appears physically identical to the other geese (to my untrained eye), just with different colored feathers on the head and tail.

For location info, this was taken in northern KY (USA)

 

Internal 82nd Airborne Division communications reviewed by Military.com reveal a tightly orchestrated effort to curate the optics of Trump's recent visit, including handpicking soldiers for the audience based on political leanings and physical appearance. The troops ultimately selected to be behind Trump and visible to the cameras were almost exclusively male.

One unit-level message bluntly said "no fat soldiers."

"If soldiers have political views that are in opposition to the current administration and they don't want to be in the audience then they need to speak with their leadership and get swapped out," another note to troops said.

 

Car was running fine, parked for a week or so and now dies immediately after start (doesn't stop like it's low on fuel, stops like if I were to turn the ignition to off). No amount of throttle changes this behavior. I did some Internet research and found that disconnecting the MAF sensor might lead me to the cause if it runs after disconnect. Exact same behavior when disconnected. While in the engine bay I found that if I disconnected the Boost Pressure Solenoid, it started up and ran (idle was a little high, but seems to run okay). The fact it's running when that solenoid is disconnected leads me to believe it's not (at least entirely) a fuel delivery issue. Would you expect that the solenoid itself is the issue, or does that lead you to expect it's some other issue.

Some background history that MIGHT be helpful. Radiator cracked sometime last year (saw low coolant light and stopped before engine got hot), finally got it replaced in Jan or Feb. Took for a test drive and was running fine, then stalled on us right as we left the neighborhood. (Threw a fuel delivery code, but only once, and I didn't take a pic. Didn't show in history or active codes) Would not start. If it did start, would die shortly after (felt and seemed like fuel delivery issues, with a sputter stop). Let it sit a few minutes, and then was able to drive it home without issue. Have since driven it far and at freeway speeds without issues.

Car shows 2 engine codes, will provide images in comments.

P0140 P0141

Stored codes P0036 P0140 P0141

None of these are NEW codes, it was running "fine" with them.

 

I've been trying to get more veggies, for a multitude of reasons, but no matter how I cook broccoli, it stinks up the whole house. Steamed, baked, pan fried. If it were just me I'd probably deal with it, but my partner has a sensitive nose. Any ideas? I don't love it raw, but it's still pretty good.

There's no ads, JavaScript, or tracking analytics, just a straight up html page. My hope is to simply have a place that shares facts.

It's by no means complete. I'd happily welcome anyone who has references to help me complete this page. I just found out the site I was using for his executive orders gets them after about 10 days, and the Whitehouse website has all the up to date one (almost 80 when I checked last night). I'll try to parse through them and update the list as I have time.

If you have any suggested edits or additional items I should add, I'm happy to do so given a reference.

I hope to keep it up to date as much as I can, but their whole plan right now is to flood the area with nonstop shit so that we can't really dial in on any one thing.

I've created an account and repo to outsource the work a little bit. Please feel free to interact and help out:

~~For some reason this is throwing a 404 when you go to it. Hopefully this goes away soon, likely because I only just created the account.~~

Problem has been resolved

Mods, please let me know if this breaks rule 1, it's technically my site but I get nothing from it. There's no ads, JavaScript, or tracking analytics, just a straight up html page. My hope is to simply have a place that shares facts.

Repebble is starting up from the original creators and a small team. I think we can get some awesome watches coming with modern components and maybe a couple cool new features.

 
 

Dunno what they are, now they're taking over my trash can. Have one more picture in the comments.

 

Tiniest little bug. I only saw 4 legs, but it probably has more. Adding more pics in the comments, can only upload one. Phone wouldn't really focus on it.
