The Biden administration is working on improving train infrastructure but if you look at the map of what they’re adding, it’s limited to a very small section of the country. I mean, it’s like cross country but it’s such a massive country that it’s still super limited.

It’s derived from Hebrew.

Oh no please anything but starting questions with Lemmings of Lemmy!

So I went hiking by myself on an old abandoned logging road once and got a little bit up there, pretty far away from the main road. I hadn’t noticed anything like bear poo but you have to always be on guard. Well eventually I got to a point where an animal didn’t like me being up there and started huffing and snorting at me. I turned and left because whatever it was, it was not happy. I never saw the animal but given the location and the noises I’m pretty sure it was a moose, and you definitely don’t want to get into it with an angry moose.

The issue here is that your wife bought this thinking it’s an ac when it’s an evaporative cooler aka swamp cooler. They do work if you have low humidity. If you are in a humid area this definitely won’t work. Since the unit is small it won’t cool the entire room but she should feel nice and cool about 3 to 5 feet in front of it. She will need to make sure the wicking action is working to get the pads nice and wet, otherwise she will have to manually remove them to wet them.

Edit: I wanted to add that I have had a similar small unit before which is why I know that she needs to be 3 to 5 feet in front of it to hit the little target cool zone.

Bunnies. I know it sounds a little dumb but yep, bunnies.

I’m sure it’s great but the thumbnail made me think it would be some kind of creamy blueberry with egg lol

You are correct about Tildes. They are very intentionally cultivating a different atmosphere and don’t want Reddit’s huddled masses. There is a subset of reddit users who fit there but it’s not the shitposting crowd.

Well, it might not be a 100% effective solution then but it does save users the trouble of accidentally interacting with content on Threads. If it doesn’t show up in my feed, I don’t click on it without noticing where it came from.

Many instances have proactively signed a pact to defederate from them but I don’t think lemmy.world did, and if they don’t I’ll be looking for another instance that does.

There is an anti meta pact. Encourage your instances to sign and follow through. https://fedipact.online/

As far as I could tell they haven’t signed the anti meta pact so probably not.

My cat didn’t get any love over on insert community name here. I hope you guys updoot me more than they did.

Yeah, you could be right that it is just for the feel good press to make them look good. Look at clothes donations. It tanks local textile industries and they’re sometimes stuck with piles upon piles of used clothes that don’t even look nice. Maybe there’s something similar happening here.

Yummy, glad to be using some rando’s used soap. But on a more serious note as long as it’s being done in a way that is sanitary and doesn’t risk spreading any diseases then this is much better than producing all that waste.

So many people are saying Duck Duck Go so I’m just throwing a comment out there to make sure everyone is aware that it’s literally Bing without the personal data. People joke about how bag Bing is, and Microsoft is a bit of a monster so I think people need to be aware of what they’re actually using. That said, if it works for you then cool, since Google is garbage now and there are not a lot of great alternatives.

Duck Duck Go is literally just Bing without the personal data. If it works for you then it works for you, but it’s good to know what you’re really using.

A. Heck yes the game is called Garden Paws and you can’t die and get to tame adorable kitties and bunnies, pick flowers, etc. It’s going to be a nice vacation. B. No way, I’ll take the $20 million vacation. C. I’m still going with the first option.

I was curious about Beehaw after hearing about them defederating and looked to see what was over there and what their content looked like. They have a stickied post at the very top that goes over the numbers if you’re curious what they’re saying it costs to run that instance. I feel like numbers could be totally variable based on a number of factors but that might give you a good idea. A smaller instance might be less and a larger one with the best hardware might be more but they’re probably all playing in the same general ballpark.
