It is probably just because it became an idea thing last month I think; After ingur fired mods, and started taking down posts about trump etc.
There’s nothing built up yet, thus the google forms is my thought.

Not here, we have had collusion and price fixing amongst competitors lawsuit already. One big chain owns the competition, and also owns land rights with no other stores allowed to open in a certain radius.

Yeah, if a company can deliver it for cheaper than your travel time and gas money, then yes delivery makes sense. Somebody gets to keep a job and you have better quality of life to spend it doing what you like.

Our stores have done both full self check out, plus higher prices, so it is lose-lose here
- Comment on 1 day ago:
It won’t be, the store will just make more profit. Our dollar stores have gone full self checkout and prices have gone up
- Comment on 1 day ago:
You are doing the useless job for free though. At our store items don’t scan so you have to wait while one person tries to help 10 people so it ends up taking longer that going through a checkout.

Top image looks like they had Kangaroo in mind

Yeah, and TRex always looked like a bird body with wing feathers missing missing. They say those scrawny things are arms but they look more like how bat wings are with claws sticking out.
- Comment on Not promoting hate speech but what happened to all the slights/slurs/vulgarity from like the 20s and 40s. There were so many. Now it seems well I can only think of three? 1 day ago:
A coworker got jipped/gyped by a gyp, and now he hates them with a passion. I told him it’s his own fault. He wanted cheaper exchange rate than bank or currency exchange offered, so agreed to buy currency at a discount in an alley. They put a good bill on top and bottom and rest was paper cut to size. LOL

Well the did, and they can flip a switch on chicken DNA and the chickens get tooth nubs again

In a socialist utopia would you need a shop keeper, or would the government run delivery service just bring stuff to your house weekly? I’m thinking back to my youth when the milkman (or woman) would drive their electric truck to each house and drop off milk, cream and orange juice every morning.
Then the sparrows or tits would come and Peck holes in the top of the cream and gobble the good stuff off the top.

That’s the same as any work cell job. Stamping press: load heavy part, hit your two buttons, take part out and stack it, repeat 8 hours.

Its a trap though. If they had employees at all the lanes there wouldn’t be a lineup either. Our store has about 16 lanes and maybe 10 self checkout, the lanes are all closed except 2, so you ate forced to wait or self checkout. They are training you yo do your own labour for free.

If you use mobile you can also install TrackerControl from F-Droid (not the playstore version, playstore version is tracker viewing only)
It creates an internal VPN so it can block blacklisted ad and tracker sites. It made browsing Imgur bearable.

Yeah maybe a year ago they changed the direct linking to bringing you to a landing page. The new owners are determined to drive it into the ground.
A bunch of people started this project imgcat.io - Comment on Sunlight special 2 days ago:
Yeah, I get it. I like well cooked stuff myself, but lots of people like it how it is in the photo… At least from what I saw growing up will full English
- Comment on Sunlight special 3 days ago:
I guess some call heating food cooking 😀
- Comment on Sunlight special 4 days ago:
Was that /s ? You can see the cooking marks on the meats, potatoes are crispy, egg is obviously cooked, the tomatoes may have started out a whole tomatoes; you typically roast them in the oven till they are ready to pop open. But may canned tomatoes in this image.

Yeah, he created an OS from scratch to avoid corporate greed of what they charged for Unix.
It is a lot of work, and the TempleOS guy building his system is a huge accomplishment also…as quirky as it is.
I guess I don’t see us being stuck with anything other than our own complacency.
To be honest nobody has given me a good view of what emacs actually does…so I’m all ears
- Comment on Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses 1 week ago:
If you want to get that deep into it even your tomato choices are controlled by a large company (hybrid seed, chemical starter, distribution, preestablished deals with vendors) but you can still grow your own.
Nothing stopping anyone from being the next Linus and deciding to start something new.
Nothing stopping anyone from forking an old kernel and doing something different with it and stripping out the big corp stuff you don’t like.
- Comment on Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses 1 week ago:
You can totally build your own. You don’t have to rely on packages given.
Free and OpenCode
And there are so many Linuxes (some like Redhat that gets influence from Intel, and some like (insert name here) that are peoples own projects) that corporate control cannot dominate it all.
Like nixOS has controversy at the moment because a steering board member is linked to US military. He could compromise the project by steering it toward the fascist regimes agenda, so you load Gentoo or VOID.
Choices are freedom
The claim that most of the work is bring done by big corps , skips a step. Corps have money and dedicate people to add to projects to suit their own needs, their commits to kernel may be high, but its not neccessry for a running system…there is a world wide open source community building their own stuff out of passion alone.
Like Facebook contributed a lot to btrfs, if you feel that somehow has shady backend, just don’t include it in your kernel modules.
Or if you are super paranoid run Haiku LOL

Well you can build Linux from scratch if you want to create your own. And RISC hardware is opensource, and gaining adoption.
But at least with Fairphone they have built it so that you don’t need google android or derivatives, you can install Ubuntu Touch OS.
- Comment on Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses 1 week ago:
Fairphone is independent and you can swap the default android to Ubuntu touch OS
- Comment on Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses 1 week ago:
Its why I have linux PC / laptops, and GrapheneOS on my phone (may get a fairphone next time)

Some of their models are super accurate for aviation etc, and have PC connection so you can feed bolt torqure values back to your inspection reports. The planetary gearing reduction seems to mean you don’t need to lug around giant bars and mutlipliers. But what needs 11000 ftlbs?? Ships maybe?
- Comment on If someone from a rich family chooses not to date a poor or middle-class people thats not "wrong" 1 week ago:
Being poor doesn’t mean messy finances, some really poor people are awesome at budgeting, while rich people can be reckless spenders. Your logic is flawed.
- Comment on Does anyone know how I'm suppose to open this? 1 week ago:
Wrench on one nub, or across two like a bar? Could be they have a tool that engages all 4 nubs at once so they don’t snap off, or thing was over tightened.
- Comment on Does anyone know how I'm suppose to open this? 1 week ago:
I assume if it is a solid material, then the standing nubs are for using a spanner bar across them and turning. I haven’t seen this specific one before. Sometimes they are depressions and you have a pin spanner wrench.
- Comment on Learn this one weird trick! 1 week ago:
They have a huge lineup of tools, some corded, some air, and then the battery lineup. Probably something for everyone.
I think at those torque levels the hit of impact doesn’t matter, because its not doing an impact to try to torque a resistive nut, there will be a bracket that touches the workpiece to resist the 11000 counter torque.
- Comment on kya 1 week ago:
Not sure if we are talking the same thing. I meant the lenses specifications, not the trucks aesthetics and lighting options available per market. I.e. legally you can’t run NA lighting on European streets, and vice versa because of the reflectivity and angles of light allowed.
