I was sincere about the congratulations but only offered them because I thought you were complaining that the news shouldn’t use fancy words. lol.

I’m glad we were all able to talk this out.

One anecdote: Trans people do exist in rural Canada. The woman who sold me tires outside Saskatoon was I’m-pretty-sure-maybe-definitely trans and gave every appearance of getting along fine with her coworkers.

I can’t speak to her quality of life generally but anyway nobody has chased her off to Vancouver yet. I would imagine tire shops are probably on the worse end for harassment so if Saskatoon was hell on earth for trans people she probably wouldn’t pick a tire shop to work at.

Why 😐?

Congratulations on learning a new word.

I figure they have AI chatbots making the decisions and it can’t ~~term~~ tell the difference between talking about violence and advocating for violence

How does the construction app know what needs to be constructed and how?

How does the waiter app know which table ordered what, needs attention, etc?

How does the IT app know on which port every device is connected?

These things are all real hard to know. Having glasses that display the knowledge could be really nice but for all these magic future apps, having a display is only part of the need.

Are people with $20K lenses excited about kildeer?

I spent a couple weeks at a Southwest Pennsylvania RV park that had kildeer running around all through the greensward in the middle of it. Was I seeing something more remarkable than the usual run of things?

The thing about the more affluent areas is they generally don’t shoot people there very much.

Not sure how to add multiple pictures to a Lemmy post. I have close-ups of the alternator housing and I think maybe the throttle body, melted 80% into the asphalt.

Contrary to my own misleading title, this picture was taken in Death Valley National Park up on top of a mountain where the air is crisp and cool.

This was very cool to learn

 

I think I'm about to buy a Velotric T1 ST Plus which would be my first ebike.

The manual says to store it indoors at a temperature of 50°F to 77°F (10°C to 25°C). However the location I actually have to store it in is in an uninsulated shed that will probably reach 120ºF (50ºC) in the summer in baking sun, and below freezing in the winter.

Is this going to kill the bike or its battery?

 

I have a U.S. Sailing basic keelboat cert and a couple hundred hours’ experience day sailing 22’ Capri and dinghies in protected water.

With that level of experience, who will rent me a boat to noodle around in San Diego bay?

 

I have an off-grid setup with a few devices on a local network that is not connected to the internet. I can tell my iPhone to use the non-internet wireless LAN to talk to those devices, OR I can tell it to use cellular data to talk to the Internet, but there’s no config on the iPhone side to let them be both live at the same time.

Is there any magic config on a wireless router e.g. certain DHCP settings or just disable DHCP, that will let the iPhone route to static 10.x IPs on the WLAN while the cellular internet is still active?

Any “advanced network settings” on the iPhone to manage multiple NICs?

I find after this election that I have an unexpectedly pressing need to wave large obnoxious flags from my sensible fuel-efficient subcompact while I drive.

Has anybody got models, templates, suggestions for how to mount a stout pole to a hatchback? I’m thinking of some kind of tube on a short arm that I could close the rear passenger door or the cargo door on to hold it in place.

 

I have some little black ants in my motorhome. I’m pretty sure I picked them up at my last stop in upstate New York but I’ve since driven far away from there. Wikipedia says little black ants nest in the soil so presumably I didn’t take their queen with me.

What’s going to happen to this group that hitched a ride? Are they likely to elect a new queen and go looking for a good nesting spot, or curl up and die, or what?
