I don’t have any experience with it, but would fiver be along the lines of what you’re looking for?

I had been feeling the same thing in Eastern Pennsylvania. Used to see lots of both, but last few years the lightning bugs were hardly noticeable and I hadn’t seen a rabbit in quite a bit when they used to be a regular sight in the neighborhood. But the last week or 2 there have been some nice lightning bug shows, though not as great as when I was a kid, and I’ve notices some bunnies grazing by the entrance to my road again.

Thanks for the links. I hadn’t gotten around to really learning anything about this guy yet.

Most things sounded like basic things a government should do for people. The real “controversy” seems to be that he wants rich people and businesses to chip in more and not get quite as many special privileges at the sale of other people

The city owned grocery stores sound interesting. The one article said other cities have recently started testing the same idea. In Pennsylvania we have state owned liquor stores that have gotten better now that rules have been loosened to create some competition. They’ve traditionally been looked at as a monopoly, limiting selection and keeping prices high.

With it being just city owned stores, they’d seem to still have all the same competition that exists now, but the city could get volume pricing and not have to include massive real estate expenses into the operating costs. If it continues to be run for the benefit of the people and doesn’t line anyone’s pockets, it sounds like it could be a great benefit.

With the low cost housing, one thing I thought while reading is how do you keep those units from being scooped up by investors?

He’s really got a lot of lofty goals, and it seems like a very intense and complicated job if he gets to be mayor. I wish him luck!

I don’t think he’d want the job, but he would do it were he asked and give it 110%. He’s no nonsense, a facts-based decision maker, and he listens to people’s issues and makes fair decisions if it’s what you want to hear or not. He’s also not too full of himself to admit when he’s been wrong. He seeks out experts on matters outside of his experience and respects their opinions. He loves his country and looks to do right by those that entrust him with a job.

He would also probably be unfortunately remembered as a terrible president a la Jimmy Carter, as he’d likely trust a number of people he shouldn’t to keep their word, he’d be too compromising for a lot of people, and I don’t think people would like his “lack of personality” they’d get from his public persona. I think Hank would be a top-notch cabinet member though! I would totally support him for any of a number of different ones.

I’ve gone to a Coldstone (ice cream shop) and the guy working there was just giving out free ice cream to everyone because he hated to store so much.

Another time I was at the conveyer belt sushi chain, and you’re supposed to get a gacha egg out of the machine after so many plates go into the return, but it was jammed up. Told the girl at the counter and she just plopped up the bucket of eggs on the counter and told me to help myself as she doesn’t get paid enough to deal with the machine, so I grabbed a few Spy x Family trinkets.

Even in my job at a pharma campus, most of us are contract workers who don’t get the benefits the actual big company employees get, and a lot of my equipment i need is broken. I keep equipment running with my role, but I have to ask for favors or supplies from other contractors at times so I can actually get stuff done. From being old enough to see the last glimmers of old school places that rewarded long term employees to seeing how every place seems to be run today, I don’t blame the kids for bringing some anarchy to the workplace. At least I get paid a decent wage to be miserable. They don’t, and having worked those retail and foodservice jobs myself, they probably work harder than I have to here.

It took me a lot of years to learn my jobs don’t give a damn about me, so while there is a twinge of sadness to seeing them that broken on jobs so early, I’m also glad they’re not under some false impression that working extra hard for free or putting the company first will get them somewhere.

It’s a good thing laws can’t arbitrarily be changed then, right?

Oh, wait. This kind of thing is exactly about letting people do that so they can punish whomever they wish.

I liked seeing my score in the beginning, as coming from being a long time lurker, it made it feel like I was contributing to building Lemmy.

Now my post and comment counts are higher than I ever would have thought, so I’m fine without it. As the score doesn’t count for anything, now I find it more satisfying to see my actual contribution.

Anyone have an easy migration tool they recommend if we want to move/backup our lists to somewhere else?

Is AniList the best similar tracker?

EDIT: All set up on AniList now. Thank you for the help.

Lovely comic! It touches on a number of final details like destruction of forests in remote places for the financial benefits of other countries and how tree farms are not a replacement for forests.

If you love animals, you have to love trees just as much! They’re not as cute and exciting maybe, but they are the homes and found sources for so many of those animals we love, and it takes decades or centuries of those trees being wild and left alone to become that support system of the ecosystem.

Much of it seems to be regular upkeep of existing facilities. They’re the 3rd largest pharma company in the world, so they have a sizeable presence almost everywhere already. This seems just like PR for things that have likely been planned long before now.

From Roche’s Press Release:

As part of this investment, Roche will increase its existing footprint of more than 25,000 employees in 24 sites across eight US states. The investment will include:

-Expanded and upgraded US manufacturing and distribution capabilities for its innovative medicines and diagnostics portfolio in Kentucky, Indiana, New Jersey, Oregon and California

-A state-of-the-art gene therapy manufacturing facility in Pennsylvania

-A new 900,000 square foot manufacturing centre to support Roche’s expanding portfolio of next generation weight loss medicines (location to be announced)

-A new manufacturing facility for continuous glucose monitoring in Indiana

-A new R&D centre in Massachusetts, conducting cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) research and serving as hub for our new cardiovascular, renal and metabolism research and development efforts

-Significant expansion and upgrading of our existing pharmaceuticals and diagnostics R&D centres in Arizona, Indiana and California

Roche is a Swiss company with a strong heritage in more than 130 countries globally.

We are proud of our 110 year legacy in the United States.

I decided not to block them, but I give them user tags for what type of BS they spread. Like if they’re just negative all the time, what type of propaganda they sling, if they troll.

It lets me know right away not to interact with them again, but it also lets me make sure I didn’t make a mistake if I catch them on a bad day or with a random bad take, but if they are up to no good, I can see what they’re trying to say to other users, and then I can try to bring things back in a more legit direction by providing a counterpoint. Or to enjoy watching others call them out too. I like seeing when everyone can call out their BS right away. Makes me feel we have a wise community.

They’re good. This is the second time I’ve had one. It’s like a regular pancake but a bit denser and it has a nice crisp to the outside. I mostly wanted to maple syrup (my brother is friends with the guy who made it) for my sore throat.

We’ve got the Aldi house brand ones. Good stuff!

A Ricola cough drop, or if that doesn’t count, a generic Kodiak Cake.

Love my marble mice! Flailing your arm around to move a cursor seems so excessive!.

From Thomas Jefferson

It’s not a long letter, and I’d recommend reading the whole thing, but the quote the other comment is referring to is in bold type near the end.

I enjoy this guy. 😝

It must be so exhilarating to find yourself in the perfect setup like this!

And if you zoom in all the way, some of the wing spots look like little hearts! 💕

Good owls come in all sizes!

“Yeah?! And just what do you think you’re gonna do about it from all the way down there?!”
