Honestly asking: what other way would anyone suggest to bring back outsourced manufacturing jobs?
Probably with some sort of long term plan instead of randomly turning sweeping tariffs on and off.
- Comment on is telling an employee how he has to speak micromanaging? Is it toxic? 2 weeks ago:
The real problem is that the paper clips were on backwards.
- Comment on What keeps Americans from being mad about the state of their country? 3 weeks ago:
Most people won’t talk politics unless they know the other person’s opinions already. I’ve had discussions about every day with my friends and wife, but there is no way I’m going to get into a discussion with my parents or maga coworker. I don’t have the energy to debunk every stupid thing they say when they won’t change their mind.
- Comment on Anonymous: Trump is making America weaker and we’ll exploit it - News Cafe 3 weeks ago:
CISA actually monitored Internet traffic and would contact government entities (local, schools, universities, etc) when they were being attacked. I went to a talk once where they said they usually had response times in minutes, and it would take longer to figure out who they needed to alert and convince them that it was real. Now that CISA is gutted I would expect more and worse breaches in the future.
- Comment on imagine 4 weeks ago:
I don’t think they’ve successfully sued anyone for that. The few cases I saw last time I looked people were intentionally germinating or saving/selling seeds.

I searched “hot dog” over Chicago and clicked a random restaurant, they had green relish: maps.app.goo.gl/DUp5py5jVHQJBSGXA?g_st=ac

Can I talk to your parents? I got a sure thing here.
- Comment on #notaseagull 4 months ago:
Birds actually have scientific common names and it’s completely acceptable to refer to them with those names. They even have standardized bird abbreviations using those names, like Red-tailed Hawk is RTHA. They of course use the latin names too, and those have their own abbreviations (Buteo jamaicensis is BUTJAM) but the common names are handier.

Annoy naturalists with these other animal names too: Jellyfish, crawfish, starfish, Killer Whale, Canadian Geese, and American Buffalo.

I’ve been waiting for new bird names to drop for months!

- Comment on Audubon 5 months ago:
Speaking of Harris’s Hawks, what a stupid name. So awkward to say. I really want them to change them to Baywing Hawks, so much cooler and at least slightly descriptive.

Right, sometimes you need to be actively dying to receive care, not just at risk of dying.
- Comment on Some subreddits could be paywalled, hints Reddit CEO 6 months ago:
Reddit has over 1,000,000,000 active users per month. Lemmy has about 50,000. The API fiasco was a big deal for lemmy, but it was not a big deal for reddit. Lemmy is a rounding error to them.
I would also bet that a lot of lemmy users still visit reddit for their niche communities. I know I do, even though I host a server for my own niche hobby, but I’m the only one who’s ever posted anything to it.

- Comment on i loled 7 months ago:
One report has a cop surprising him too, and he pointed the gun at the cop. So it was turn around for cop > turn back around > aim > fire. I don’t think I’ve seen the time between the cop and firing but I think it was quick. Dude was probably shaking like crazy.

The Yellowstone volcano is about 8 times larger than the entirety of park that has Mt St Helens in it (~860,000 acres of volcano vs ~110,000 acres of park).

Sorry, I’m sure there are other features that you like for this, but just the ones in this thread; long life, always on display, shows the time, sits on a desk, no notifications. That’s a clock. Like, a clock clock. Put a clock on your desk.

- Comment on The Helldivers 2 bot faction has been eradicated. What do now? 10 months ago:
Go back to fighting bugs with rovers instead of bots with shield packs. I heckin love fighting bugs with the rover.
- Comment on mimic 11 months ago:
I used the wrong word and you had no idea what I was talking about, you got me. Debating a word over Greek vs Latin origin on what suffix to use in the English language, which is always consistent and true to its root words, is worthy of such pedantry. I concede.
- Comment on mimic 11 months ago:
Mountain lions have like 30 different names and no one gets into entomology fights about them. If there is no scientific standard name like birds have use whatever makes the most sense to you.
- Comment on mimic 11 months ago:
Right, when there is this much controversy over a plural there will never be a consensus, especially when it doesn’t actually matter. The truth is that as long as people understand what you mean it doesn’t matter what you use.

Octopuses, octopodes, and octopi are fine.
