There’s also this company that caters to this sort of thing. I’ve been considering moving to this someday, maybe when my current phone dies. I’m the kind of person that needs a genuinely dumbed down phone to limit access since I’d just get the key out of the drawer and ‘cheat’ eventually.

This is a weird hill to die on

That would explain why my weekend sucked, never had much of a seasonal allergy problem before. Good to know

It do be like that

Back in the big union days, this was called “work to rule”, as in you worked exactly to the letter of your job and not an inch more.

It was a union tactic to fight back if the company wasn’t playing fair or wasn’t playing ball at the negotiating table

Well, there’s folks like me that don’t want EVs but want hybrids. I’m sure that plays into it in some small way. Definitely dwarfed by all your reasons though

I always assumed the reason was to get more tendrils into your phone for that sweet sweet data $$$ and allowing themselves more control over shoving notifications in your face.

Do I sound bitter?

Excellent news. Let them tear each other apart. Fuck him and FRJ too

Do we know who is setting the price higher? Is it more like it’s 6% higher but so is everything else or more of the manufacturer selling to the storefronts at a higher cost thus forcing grocery stores to set the price higher by 6%?

Because it informs who we should be mad at

I’m excited to see this on my frontpage this morning because I used to listen to a community driven station from a game I used to play and it was legit one of my favorite ways to discover new music. That radio station shut down a few years ago but previous to that Radio KoL(Kingdom of Loathing) had been running for over a decade.

Here’s hoping this is the replacement!

Copied for the lazy

Hours after Seattle’s new law against public drug use and drug possession took effect Friday, police officers swept through two neighborhoods and made about two dozen arrests, police Chief Adrian Diaz said.

Police handed out flyers Friday morning in an effort to educate people about the controversial new law, then returned Friday afternoon to enforce the gross misdemeanor offenses, Diaz said in a news conference at the Seattle Police Department headquarters.

The operations targeted the vicinity of 12th Avenue South and South Jackson Street in the Chinatown International District’s Little Saigon neighborhood and Third Avenue and Pine Street in downtown. Both areas have seen prominent public drug use for years.

Ten people were put into jail, mostly on outstanding felony warrants for offenses that included rape, domestic violence and assault, Diaz said. Two of the 10 were jailed on new offenses, including possession of drugs with intent to deliver and possession of a stolen firearm, the chief said. Police “might not have come into contact” with the suspects if not for the new drug law, he said.

An additional 15 people who were arrested were almost immediately referred to case workers, and 13 accepted those referrals, Diaz said. Some people were released directly from an SPD precinct, without going to jail, he said.

Deputy Mayor Tim Burgess later described the arrest and referral numbers that Diaz shared as preliminary and subject to change.

Right? News headlines are all Faster Than Expected these days.

We’re already seeing crop failure in bits

Nice try.

Comcast is sad that it can’t fuck us in hidden fees anymore. I feel terrible…just terrible for them.

Man you have no idea how annoying it is to dredge up enough effort to post comments and shit. Take it from me, a former 100% lurker on reddit

Good should not be the enemy of perfect.

Your concerns are valid, but there are only so many economically viable ways to produce energy and nuclear is plainly better than burning more fossil fuels despite the downsides.

Yes, we need to transition to 100% renewables(that dont take more energy in producing the equipment than its lifetime output) but until that comes to pass any option that isn’t actively killing us globally, eg, fossil fuels, should be on the table.

Phoenix AZ created the same position, the podcast The Daily did an episode about him.

I found it something of a letdown to listen to because this new department they created to address a growing threat is clearly low on the totem pole and has significant hurdles on getting anything basic done like simply planting a corridor of trees. You’d think they’d have taken heat mitigation more seriously in a city that hot.

I’m pulling for Miami and hope they can do more than just talk about doing something.

So we have finally come to where Supply Side Jesus is no longer ironic
