I think the bigger problem is that there are at least 50 trays of tomatoes there and it’ll take a bunch of kitchen space and time to process all of them, all of which has to be done on next-to-no notice. It’ll also take a lot of time and supplies to can them all - though at least whatever they have the time and space to process will be shelf-stable in the end.

This is really cool - thank you for sharing!

Well then maybe the AI industry deserves to die.

I’ve seen them parking in spots labeled Compacts Only and making it so the person next to them has to get in on the passenger’s side.

Good!

[I am now on a list.]

We prefer to think of it as ‘nicely trim’, tyvm!

Here you go! :

I’ve blocked like five of their accounts. I wish there was a setting that would block PMs/chats. Anyone who wants to talk to me can do it in public.

I’d call the local Fire Marshal.

How pretty!

How do you handle banking? So many places no longer allow Americans to have bank accounts because of the reporting requirements, or did that change when I wasn’t looking?

It means that’s a serious answer, and a serious recommendation. And I agree that you should read that book.

It takes a lot of time to design a new, official US coin. I’m sure this is a “commemorative” “coin”, worth about the metal it’s printed on, being sold for excessive amounts to rubes. The only thing I’m uncertain about is whether the money goes to the shithead in the White House or some random grifter trying to cash in.

Oh, I found it interesting - there were a number of things I’d just never really considered about having (or trying to control) large bird populations in cities. I find it very informative!

I’m sorry about your snow, though :)

Well, the Democrats don’t have an entire media echo-system in place - multiple tv ‘news’ channels, a coast-to-coast network of local conservative radio propagandists, an entire chain of ever-so-slightly-increasingly-radicalized YouTube “hosts” leading from self-improvement and self-appreciation through to denigration and hatred of others - turns out, the easiest way for the alt-right to make someone feel better about themselves is for them to tell their acolytes that they’re great and that someone else is beneath them - doesn’t matter if the ‘other’ are blacks or women or Jews or Muslims or LGBTQ or Hispanics or immigrants or whatever. Just know that “those people” are beneath you, it’s okay to physically, legally, emotionally, and socially attack them whenever you feel like it to ‘remind them of their place’ (especially if you think they might be inclined to overstep it), and everything will be fine …

I had a doctor’s appointment on Halloween a few years ago. I was getting ready to go out, I put out a bowl of candy (nice mix of different chocolates) and went back inside to grab my purse and my test results for the doctor. I was inside for maybe 45 seconds? During which time I heard a couple kids come up to the porch, say something like “What do you think?”, and a slight scuffling sound. When I exited the house about 20 seconds later, they’d scooped the entire bowl clean and disappeared.

Not being very immersed in pop culture, I just assume they’re dressed as someone from a show I don’t watch.

I try to figure out what’s causing it, then treat. I get headaches from eyestrain (so I take addition and focus on something else), allergies (antihistamine/decongestant), sunglare (eyerest), overexertion/dehydration (drink water and take it easy), caffeine withdrawal (drink cola), etc.

Depending on what I want to do, I used a combination of Unified Remote and LocalSend, both of which are available for Linux. With Unified Remote, I can control my PC on my home network. So if I want to copy over a URL, for example, I could open notepad and paste it remotely from my phone’s clipboard (or type it manually), or I could open a new tab on my PC’s browser and paste the URL so it’s open and ready for me the next time I’m at my PC. I can sit downstairs on the couch and check the status of a project upstairs, open and run new programs upstairs, etc.

My only two complaints are that I need to be at the PC to handle admin messages like “Are you sure you want to install this program?”, which I guess is a safety feature but it’s still annoying. And secondly, I really wish they had an easier way to toggle between left- and right-mouse-click, it gets annoying.

To send images, actual files or even folders, I use LocalSend. It does require that you click Accept on the device you’re sending to, but I can use Unified Remote to do that, and then save the files to wherever I want to (or accept the default).

This may be less streamlined than other options, but what I really like about it is that I can complete a task and then not have to think about it again. I don’t have to go back to my desktop and download or save anything, I’ve already done it, the job’s complete. The only exception is when I’ve put a new URL into my browser, but that’s generally because I wanted to look at it on my (much larger than my phone’s) desktop screen.

Anyway, it works nicely for me; I hope you find a solution that works for you!
