Haven’t RTFA yet, but I’m gonna go ahead out on a limb, and say this was one of those “if you have to ask the price, you can’t afford it” scenarios.

Kinda hard to ignore them running/ruining the federal government. RFK Jr’s idiotic war on vaccines will affect us all. Then there’s the fact pretty much my entire family are MAGAts, so I’ve had to cut contact with them all as the lesser of two evils regarding my sanity.

Before this year, I’d have agreed with you. It’s unbelievable how quickly shit has devolved since. I wouldn’t bet on being an ignorant asshole being a detriment anymore.

I’d just get an extension cable & get to soldering. Alternatively, install a converter so you can attach a USB cable.

- Comment on do you consider joking about dying and killing oneself a sign that the person saying it is troubled? 1 week ago:
Speaking from personal experience, that person is very likely depressed AF. Tthe bubbly person you see at work is her putting on a brave face to get through the day without making things worse by putting people off in showing her real self. The “jokes” are a subconscious attempt to see if anyone actually cares enough about her as a person to pick up on the hints she’s dropping. If you approach her about it directly, tho, she’ll put up a wall because she doesn’t know your true intent - do you actually care, or are you gonna make her life worse by doing something like trying to have her committed?
If you truly care enough to get involved, and try to help her then doing it well is going to require some commitment to subtle and supportive interactions. You can try to privately let her know that you’ve picked up on the hints, that you get it, and that she can come to you for support if and when she’s comfortable with doing so. You likely will have to give her space and time to figure out if she can really trust you while also occasionally (i.e. don’t push it or otherwise overdo it - let her be in control) reminding her that you care and were serious about the offer of support.
If that’s more than you’re up for, then maybe just let her know you’ve noticed so she doesn’t feel completely ignored, and offer to help her find mental health options to deal with her depression.
At least this is what I’d want as somebody who has lived through several decades of inadequately treated depression.
- Comment on No stuffing your hair in your hat to get an interview... 1 week ago:
Posts about employee shortages after years of AI-driven mass layoffs followed by Trump government mass layoffs, which are further followed by more job cuts as Trump’s tariffs. Kinda tone-deaf, doncha think?

Not really - they’re quite tiny, so she shops for them at Babies-R-Us.

- Comment on Google's plan to restrict sideloading on Android has a potential escape hatch for users 1 week ago:
Yeah, that’s why it’s still in the “considering” phase for me as well - especially considering Trump’s tariffs crap. It also seems a tad underpowered for the price, and they still don’t have the promised removable battery replacements in their store.
It’s worth remembering, though, that the cost covers the constant software updates, as well as their user support. As such, it’s much like the Apple model of business, except much more open, so in the end it’s probably worth it.
- Comment on Google's plan to restrict sideloading on Android has a potential escape hatch for users 1 week ago:
Taking Google at their word for a moment, it’s far too easy to scam the clueless masses into selecting the first one.

Thankfully, for those of us without the time for all that there are Linux phones such as this one I’m considering.

Except in Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and West Virginia. Only within so short a period that some don’t know they’re pregnant yet in Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Nebraska, North & South Carolina, and Utah.
Fucking control freak Republicans seriously need to DIAF.
- Comment on Chirp in Fahrenheit 1 week ago:
Yeah, I’m going to hunt I’ve down, and isolate it from all the others just so I can count its chirps without the count won’t be screwed up by being confused by other chirpers - all to avoid simply looking at all the other sources of said information that are much more readily available and convenient
Unless you’re doing some sort of environmental science experiment while living in a post-apocalyptic world where every pre-existing analog device for accomplishing this has somehow been destroyed, this is utterly useless.
- Comment on Under-16s to be banned from buying high-caffeine energy drinks including Monster 2 weeks ago:
“This sucks” were your words - why else would you say that? Your “personal freedom” argument doesn’t hold water if you’re fine with restrictions on other drugs.
The article says they’re restricting under 16s, so I’m not sure what you’re thinking with the end of your second paragraph - which kinda lens credence to my point that teens aren’t known for thinking things through.
Everyone is different, and that includes how they grow and mature. We all know worry-warts, and we all know boisterous jocks who are more likely not to be careful. If course some will think about it due to who they are, but many others won’t - or erroneously rank other things as more important considerations.
I don’t disagree the justification is flimsy, and as an American I’m not sure why they’re doing that - but I don’t think it’s an entirely misguided approach, either.
