Wave race was legit. I still think about that game and I’m an old gamer

ChildIDFile. Creates a secure file of your kid’s information that lives only on your personal device but can be shared with police quickly. Hopefully you never need it

I have washed shoes on gentle before with success. Technique, I put them in a pillowcase that closes first to keep laces from tangling

It is a bummer that you are feeling financially stressed, but the price of things won’t get better by electing a felon. His stated policies will make things worse

Meh, it works for me. I like it here more than reddit. Sorry that you haven’t found your groove. It toom me a while of finding the right things to subscribe and right folks to follow before my feed felt fun and interesting. I use Lemmy as a jumping off point for rabbit holes that are interesting to me

Awesome!

This is a truly amazing post. Really inspired writing. Thank you for making me actually lol and forcing my wife to listen to me read it out loud

Love this game. Its such a good experience

Well shit

You should still set airplane mode when airborne for other reasons besides interference with the aircraft. For one, you’ll save your battery. It takes a lot of “juice” for your device to search for cell towers that are likely out of reach. You may also want to avoid connecting to a tower outside where you have coverage. E.g. for a flight from Anchorage to Minneapolis, maybe you don’t want to connect to Canadian cell towers and potentially receive charges in another country. Obviously this depends on your plan limits. But, yeah, it’s not really about protecting the airplane, in most cases

This reply is meant to generate discussion. It is not sarcasm or meant to be taken negatively at all:

What is the purpose of any rules? Why have them? Is it possible to make a “perfect” rule or policy or public intervention whereby all affected persons are serviced fairly? Probably not. If you conclude we need rules, how do we balance their benefits with the disenfranchisement of some of the persons affected negatively?

In your specific case, how do you make the rules minimize negative outcomes without excessively sacrificing the potential positive outcomes?

I’m genuinely interested in your perspective from your age and place in time.

These are good and valid questions. If you’re passionate about them, you may consider studying political science and/or law in the future. One day, if you’re still passionate about this topic, you may be in a position to change the rules.

Seems like a softball question. Answer=“Slavery”. Boom, home run. More voters gained than lost

I had to “break up” with my best friend over this stuff. His could not let go of his “but both sides” crap. It sucks, but it had to be done. Maybe we’ll get back together as friends one day, hopefully

Sorry, I missed the scummy part. I’ll check it out

Travel for work all over and don’t have a car or other reasonable transportation in random cities. It costs less for delivery than 2 taxi/Uber rides and I dont have to risk getting lost in a weird place I don’t know. Hotel room service is not good in most places

Grossly oversimplified. Dumb meme that adds nothing substantive

Dont friggin touch it

Also the demographic statistics in the journal article are information but not informative. They’re not meant by the journal article’s authors to support the gross conclusion Musa extrapolated from it.

So, I read the CNN article and the CNN-linked journal paper it was based on and I don’t understand how the CNN aithor, Amanda Musa, was able to read the journal article and jump to her conclusions except through overwhelming prejudice and bias. Holy cow, this is irresponsible reporting. From the journal article itself, here is a relevantbsummary:

Overall, these findings stress the critical public health message concerning the secure storage of firearms, especially in households with adolescents. Our study suggests that initiatives limiting adolescent access to firearms, such as child access prevention laws or efforts to decrease illegal gun trafficking, might effectively prevent school shooting incidents.23,24 Furthermore, hospital-based initiatives centered on screening for firearm accessibility and exposure for inpatients could be fruitful in preventing gun violence, both inside and outside schools.25

Yes, yes, don’t use, always have avoided anyway. I also touch grass more often, which is nice
