Could this jacketed "hacker" be behind it?

This candidate's skills seem to be in communication and I'm glad they are using it for good.

I hope this inspires a new generation of politician candidates that put action ahead of the politics in their messaging, because I admit that action alone without messaging means no one hears the good work you are doing and gives free reign to culture war misinformation and billionaire funded hate campaigns.

It has worked. Here in Vancouver, we got a city councillor whose day job is a dishwasher, because of their progressive vision and their concrete action over rhetoric to help people in our communities. He and an anti-automobile candidate beat out the incumbent party's cop candidate and the NIMBY candidates by a wide margin.

I have a limit I can tolerate, one emoji every other sentence.

I don't use them in emails myself, but react emojis to internal work messages are fairly commonplace. A 👍 next to a message is often just a good way to know someone has confirmed reading something rather than needing to write "okay" which is ambiguous (what are you saying okay to?) and takes up space.

But I use a different range of emojis with different people when I do use them, to taste. With colleagues it's one of 😁😆😅😕😯❤️👍👆, with friends it's probably one of 🤣🤩😍🤔💀🧐😭🤯🥴😔😏😗💨 or 👀.

Serious answer: Many stores have their price end in 6 or 8 to indicate items that are final sale. So it is clearance as in they don't want it back, but really the price didn't nominally change.

Points for the creative title...

However this unidentified new account acting as a rumour mill is suspicious. I don't doubt feddit is removing posts liberally that could get investigated under German law whether those posts may or may not be breaking it, if the first half of the post was the drama I'd be okay with it. However, trying to tie a bunch of other speculation to the drama makes this post weird imo.

In Japan they have two types of dates, which map to "Use by" and "Best before", but they don't use them interchangeably or some vague middle-of-the-road term like "expiry date". One is operative, the other is a recommendation.

消費期限 (shouhi-kigen) literally means "consumption time limit" and 賞味期限 (shoumi-kigen) literally means "guarantee of taste time limit".

Lol, an expected move by Premier Buckabir.

Pretty much the reality is that a new election immediately is not in the NDP's interest. They don't have to be in lock-step for anything other than confidence motions and Liberals can support shop between any of the parties for at least 2 votes.

Solution: put a facebook, amazon, google logo on it so courts block their dns?

My microwave does that... in online chats my friends heard the beeping through my microphone, and still have had to remind me to take it out before too.

If the company could stop making new Coke flavours then killing off popular ones more often than Netflix series or Google chat apps, it would be appreciated.

Okay I see. I wasn't sure if they were passing leased cars as new, but it sounds like they didn't do that and instead were just removing artificial paywalls when they took it back to extract more cash.

Since the server went off of OVH, lemmy.ca has felt super snappy overall. Tonight I'm noticing lagspikes, and the status graph shows it too...

I'll check back in the morning, site's still usable so not an urgent matter. It'd be interesting for me to know what might be happening.

Morning edit: seems like a one off.

I'm planning to start a new Satisfactory world with a number of friends and acquaintances of mine, some from different friend groups.

In a game like Minecraft, the world is limitless and people can set their base up anywhere, obtain resources wherever they please and just trying not to impede on others too much. In Satisfactory I worry a bit about competing over the resources or ideal space, or someone decides to take down another person's hourslong work to make a more efficient factory, etc.

What would be ways that I could fairly share the world with many people? I'd think most of the people would get along and the objective is shared, but I'd want to reduce areas of frustration where possible and would appreciate any advice to that end.

Ihave a unique opportunity to add a node at the Tower LNB ring. However I'm struggling to source a Meshtastic gateway that meets the requirements I'v been given. Any help would be appreciated.

  1. Power will be provided over 48v POE ONLY
  2. Remote management is a must, consider both internet provided over ethernet and 4G/LTE as backup (fw updates)
  3. Maximum 5db gain antenna can be used positioned on the LNB ring facing N-NW, must not exceed 1400mm in length
  4. Must be tuned for exactly 915mhz (l'm thinking cavity filter) to help with Rx.
  5. Enclosure and antenna must be pole mounted
  6. Absolutely no wifi 2.4 or 5ghz
  7. 500CND budget 'd like a set it and forget it approach. ls it even worth it?
