Cities don't want to pay for that. No one is backing logging equipment down a Paris side street.
But yeah, it's not an issue. I'm sure people planted trees knowing they get bigger. Lemmings just like to point to obvious issues as if no one thought about them.
Find me a poor person that can leverage an army of people, and I'll reconsider your hypothetical.
What is the price of your safety?
He put a target on their backs while preaching to a bunch of gun enthusiasts. That money is going to security detail for the rest of their lives.
Democracy died when citizens United was passed. It can be revived though.
No, don't be silly. It's a left to right timeline. They exploded that stack into existence. It's much quicker than building it brick by brick.
If it was a good deterrent, why does it keep happening?
I'm serious. I don't get it.
I dropped the argument about better because you don't care that it's better. You made that very clear.
It is better. Better than it would have been. Better than other countries did.
The Democrats are absolute shit. But they're still better than the other absolute shit. And in America you only get those two options.
So I'll say again. If your plan isn't to hold your nose and vote for the better of two shits, what is your plan?
You see that bridge over there? I built that with my own two hands. But do they call me Hans the bridge builder? No...
You see the town hall building on the hill? I laid every one of those bricks. But do they call me Hans the bricklayer? No....
But you shag one sheep...
Your purity makes you ineffective and useless.
There are fewer of them than there could have been. Regulations are written in the blood of our citizens.
And your recommended alternative to voting for Democrats is...?
Maybe sometimes.
Obesity is only a choice if mental health issues are a choice too.
ITT : people who think you can "man up" your way through compulsion.
Oh right. I forgot that leftists don't accept "better". They only accept "perfect".
That's stupid. Throw Clinton in prison. No one would care.
What are these wires?
I bought a house a few months ago and I'm still trying to figure out all the wiring. I found these coming out of a cabinet in the kitchen.
I think (?) the black one is a cut-off coax cable. There's a LOT of coax in this house, so that seems straightforward (but I would still love if someone can confirm!)
I'm not sure about the other ones. They don't look electric, as I'd expect electric to be black + white + copper, like the rest of the house.
There is supposedly a speaker system in the house (I see speakers) but I haven't figured it out yet. Could that be power for the speakers? I'm not familiar with speaker wire setup. If it's speakers, why would there be so many wires?
Label maker for home use
I'm looking for an inexpensive label maker that can print small labels. I need to label various things around my house for my sanity (outlet/breaker mapping, coax endpoint mapping, etc).
I was going to buy a NIIMBOT D110, but then I saw in their FAQ that they put an IC (chip) into their labels and the printer won't print if it can't sense it. I really don't want to support a company that DRMs their consumables, if I can help it.
Can anyone recommend a good, small, inexpensive label maker? Preferably one that doesn't have sketchy DRM embedded.
Un-wired Robotic lawn mower
I've got about 1/4 acre with some odd shapes and walkways. I'm looking to invest in a robotic mower, but the boundary wire ones don't seem to work with my layout. It doesn't need to have clean mow lines or anything, I just want my grass to be shorter.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a non-wired robot mower? Preferably one that integrates with HA, but that's not required.
If you do, what are the pros/cons of the unit?
Are avid 2A supporters angry because of the lead from bullets?
I was reading about how the EU is thinking of reducing the lead used in ammunition because it's polluting the environment. I wonder if regular lead exposure at the firing range is addling people's brains.
that'll fix it

exercise for us?
Exercise is hitting. My brain gives up way before my body does. Even when I try and listen to music or watch shows while exercising, I just can't keep at it.
Has anyone found an ADHD friendly way to exercise?
Meme or reality?
I know it was a thing on reddit, but how does everyone feel about peeing on your compost? Apparently it really helps, but I've never brought myself to do it.
lemmy and jerboa source
Has anyone created their own instance and modified it? How about the same for the Android client? There are some features I'm desperately missing and I'm not against DIY.
