I agree with her sentiment but she chose to use ticketmaster. WTH did she expect?

It sure looks hypocritical to me to voluntarily use them and then complain about it. Put your money where your mouth is, etc etc.

Basically don’t shop for anything noncritical from yesterday until 02 Dec (Tuesday).

And try not to use credit cards for anything you do have to purchase.
(I think debit cards are ok)

One year later…

I’m in the same boat. Did you have any luck?

Love the mounting method btw. I’m gonna copy it. :-)

So if you don’t lie to make the numbers look good, you’re fired.

Just great. And to think I was skeptical of the government’s economic reporting before this bs.

Yeah, I don’t get the “trumpf will fire Powell” thing. He has no authority over the Fed, right?

Yes, I get he can apply pressure indirectly, but that’s not the same as having the power to fire anyone at the Fed. So this sounds like the media trying to grant trump the appearance of more authority than he has, which is a bad thing.

I’m hopeful Powell will stick out his term and continue to do make the best decisions he can.

Fewer? Locally, friends have been commenting in the past week or so how nice it has been that there are so many more this year. (Western NY) And more bees, ticks, and mosquitos.

I get that we’re in a massive crash but at the moment, locally, there seems to be at least a momentary uptick.

Sounds good to me!

NY was the eleventh state in the US. We’d become the eleventh province of Canada, nice!

This is definitely worrisome.

But is it the end of the Constitution quite yet?

The Supreme Court hasn’t weighed in on the executive order trying to negate birthright citizenship, they said that lower courts couldn’t block EO’s at a national level.

Implicitly, their not commenting on the EO feels like they’ll let it stand when the case arrives, if they choose to hear it. Then I’d say the US Constitution is toast.

I’m an engineer, not a lawyer. I’d love to hear what someone more knowledgeable about this thinks.

Let’s try again.

Think carefully, surely you can see that two and two is five.

Don’t you agree?

Huh, well never thought I’d agree with this nutcase but that would be a good move.

What’s the catch?

Mastodon but not nearly as much as Lemmy.

Bookwyrm but not nearly as much as Mastodon.

I really wanted Bookwyrm to be more useful for me. But it’s really not geared towards what I want in keeping track of books. ymmv

Few people can focus enough to read.

I work in a technical field. In the past few years I’ve learned that interacting by email usually requires one-line sentences or bullet points, with any questions being numbered. No fluff, no secondary thoughts or possibilities. Keep it as minimal as possible.

It still fails to elicit a coherent response about half the time, but it’s the best I’ve found so far.

It didn’t use to be like this. But what’s to blame; screen addiction, microplastics, covid, increased stress, … ?

I’d be glad to:

Pack his bags tonight preflight…

Really? Only 13%?

Maybe it’s a lagging indicator? Maybe sales in China picked up? Maybe the numbers have been finessed?

Obligatory, #NotTheOnion

And the Dems are, mostly, still too safe. They need to start fighting while they still have a chance of stopping the insanity.

Step 1: Schumer needs to step down.

Reconsidering 4 (second nose)… Maybe you could cause a second nose to grow on others…? And if a few of us choose this, then we could form an unstoppable team, horribly disfiguring war criminals, oligarchs, and mimes everywhere!

But… no container is truly empty.
Usually they contain air, but even in space there’d be one or two molecules banging around inside.
You’d never see anything.

This.
Free gravel for life is OP! (probly gets nerfed in the next update)

I too assume it’s 7" from center of mass. So not even beyond the boundary of my body.
