  Remember how we’ve been punishing Cuba for 60 years by making sure they can’t buy stuff from other countries? That’s our new model for checks notes … improving the US economy.

  Due to flooding

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hrr hrr⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you wait a little while, the digital version can usually be found online for around $80 less than retail.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s my plan so far. I just use it for emulators anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that if you lose your Social Security Card (USA) more than 10 times, the Social Security Administration will have to, by law, refuse to issue anymore replacement cards, for the rest of your life.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  DNA already has blockchain vibes. We could unravel the … transactions if we understood all the code.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So, is the USA screwed?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Barry Goldwater, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Newt Gingerich, Mitch McConnell, and now Trump (and arguably many others along the way) have been choosing self over country and intentionally breaking safeguards for longer than most of us on Lemmy have been alive. It’s indirect violence. But it’s violence regardless. And they’ve gotten away with it so far.

  Neither are my parents

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone actually know what MAGA all agree they are getting out of all this?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My cousin said the exact same thing.

  They don’t know shit, but they still vote with such confidence. It’s maddening.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just a little guy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A fish about a foot long jumped out of the water within arm’s reach of me while swimming at a Florida beach. First thought was what might be hunting that fish. I got out for a while.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They're called leaves for a reason.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The layer of leaves kills that stuff too, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They're called leaves for a reason.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah that’s definitely the issue here. There’s still a layer of wet leaves by the time the grass wants to start growing in the spring.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They're called leaves for a reason.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That has not been my experience. The leaves wreck the ph of the soil and block light from letting grass grow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨McDonald’s posts biggest decline in global sales in four years⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Makes sense. The one by me is in a nice area without any other drive throughs within 5-10min of it. No need to discount there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨McDonald’s posts biggest decline in global sales in four years⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I tried the app. It offered “free medium fries” every now and then, but that was pretty much it. Wasn’t even worth installing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There is only 1 choice⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Damn bro. Start with mosquitoes. Always start with mosquitoes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that there's a better index than the BMI to measure obesity called the Body Roundness Index⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I found a website that said your waist is halfway between your bottom rib and the top of your hip. That was pretty close to my belly button. Got anywhere from 34" to 36" using a metal measuring tape, which could have been part of the issue. But 6’2" with 34" waist should be considered thin, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that there's a better index than the BMI to measure obesity called the Body Roundness Index⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wonder if I’m doing it wrong? I have an athletic build similar to a soccer player, surfer, etc.

  It puts me in the average range but close to obese. I have a six pack LOL.

  I’m interested in other people’s experience with the tool.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s how your first comment was phrased. It’s not 100% clear you are saying you wonder if Nintendo has taken down your videos.

  On first read it’s as if you wonder whether Nintendo haters will remove your videos. The benefit of the doubt is scarce on Lemmy, so people seem to have misunderstood your comment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nintendo is going after a lot of their biggest fans. It’s so obviously stupid, but they just keep doing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The two types of jobs⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like it’s just the opposite.

  Try designing something without instructions or a template. You’ll run into a thousand little issues you didn’t realize needed to be considered.

  That’s true of software, sure. But it’s also true if you want to make a wooden dresser without plans or build an rc airplane from scratch.

  In my experience, things are rarely as simple as they first seem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨English Ivy⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah the only kind of wallpaper I’ve encountered was old and did not peel away. You had to steam it, scrape it, burn it… I’m glad it’s easier to work with today.
