Big “Pokémon Go to the polls” energy there

Where are you seeing a model 3 for $38,000? They’re all over 65k on the website.

You need to tag Billie Eilish with her Lemmy username if you expect her to read this.

The version of this I heard growing up was:

A prostitute calls out to a man walking down the road “for $50 I’ll do anything you can say in 3 words”.

The man said “PAINT MY HOUSE”.

This joke didn’t age well. Partially because no one has a house anymore.

High col area means buildings are disappearing and being redeveloped as condos around me.

Gas stations are slowly dying as the land gets too expensive to justify a low traffic gas station, and increasing EV popularity is further shrinking their appeal.

Banks seem to be infiltrating stupid places now, like fucking indoor shopping malls.

There’s nothing like seeing a fucking BANK to make you not interested in visiting an area. If I don’t bank there I will never walk in. If I do bank there I will walk in once or twice a year. Such a shitty use of high visibility retail space.

One wing of my dying mall is entirely banks, dentists, and cell phone stores. Why would anyone want to stroll through that?

Pay your Nazis, people! Yeesh!

When I was in high school that episode of Nova was on where those guys built trebuchets in the English countryside for fun. I thought it was awesome and started planning to build a model version.

Unfortunately, my dad caught me and demanded to know what I was doing. Then made me watch the episode with him. Then took over the project and built his own goddamn trebuchet out of hardwood.

I mean, it’s a goddamn masterpiece. It comes up to my knees. It can easily lob a rock across the whole property and into the next yard.

Anyway that was a long, boring aside just to say my trebuchet aim is pretty good.

“What matters is not release of some subset of the Epstein files, but rather the prosecution of those who committed heinous crimes with Epstein,“ he wrote in an X post Saturday morning.  “When there is at least one arrest, some justice will have been done. If not, this is all performative. Nothing but a distraction,” he added.

A broken clock and all that…

Congrats Pierre, you won an election.

A quality poop knife holds its edge forever.

Don’t buy a sharpener and add chores to your life. Get a proper poop knife.

I’m sure this is a big, professional, intelligence operation, but I still can’t help but think it’s just a LAN party.

There’s so much bullshit out there about this “problem”. They’re mostly crap.

The one thing I found works well is to stop the eggs into an ice water bath and let them cool for at least 10 minutes before peeling. They really seem to hold together quite well almost all the time.

But nothings guaranteed. I remember some chef on Reddit years ago said you can be as good at peeling eggs as anybody - they aren’t all going to peel cleanly. That’s why when they are peeling tons of eggs in a restaurant (for deviled eggs or any dish where appearance matters), the rejects go into the bowl for making egg salad later.

IMO Bosch is the only company in the world that makes dishwashers.

My parents have a Miele that works really well, but I’m not a fan of the racks and the way they designed the tines - nothing seems to load efficiently.

Bosch Bosch Bosch.

Throw some in a soda stream and see how it goes!

I’d add on: depends if it’s emotional.

Sometimes people gotta process things and telling their story is what they actually needed.

Sometimes they’re giving me directions to the post office, and I can happily cut that shit short without anyone getting offended.

Yup, and they put those signs up in front of the emptied shelves.

Now they’ve moved on (at least at my store), and filled the shelves with other products and that big sign is shoved into the corner.

I would skip using words like “nazi” or “fascist”. If someone isn’t very politically involved and they see that, they’re going to immediately roll their eyes and dismiss you as an extremist.

It’s hard to hit on a message that sticks with people without offending them, and I think you want to remain on the side of keeping them as allies since you’re running more of a messaging campaign than anything.

These are all terrible, but they have the kind of vibe I’m thinking of:

Should you be shopping down there?

Crossing the border isn’t safe.

ICE doesn’t care if you’re just buying groceries.

Is your family really safe travelling to the US right now?

I’m seeing a lot of items that are now using “Packaged in Canada”. I assume that’s complete bullshit.
