Exactly. Let’s not let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Today’s congress would be needed for more sweeping reforms (not going to happen right now) and the judiciary on that side too (not going to happen for a long time). They’re doing what they can. It isn’t much, but it’s what they can do.

Good eye. Circle Center Mall. We were there for Indy ComicCon.

There were Dippin’ Dots vending machines in the mall… Like 4 of them. Do people really like Dippin’ Dots that much?

I’m not sure you know what dimensions are… but then neither did whoever made this mall attraction.

Also, come on, you show Pinhead but it isn’t Doug Bradley?

You can’t be a Christian and vote for Democrats, you can’t be a Jew and vote for Democrats… what are their feelings on Jains?

I hope that sketch wasn’t done by white people, because “black people love their fried chicken” is kind of racist…

I wasn’t offended.

There is no problem in the way you claim when it comes to limiting speech which is pro-Nazi or pro-Confederate. There is no question what such things are. Things like the march in Charlottesville or, as I mentioned, Stone Mountain, GA.

Trust me, you’re not the right person to tell me what the fuck is wrong with me considering I’m going to the Mayo Clinic on Monday.

Don’t worry about it. It’s not a big deal. I’m just talking about AA battery-powered devices in general.

Capitalism Can't Solve Climate Change (time.com)

And the IEA, for its part, expects China to continue to be the sole meaningful over-achiever. It recently revised upwards by 728 GW its forecast for total global renewables capacity additions in the period 2023–27. China’s share of this upward revision? Almost 90 percent. While China surges ahead, the rest of the world...

Capitalism solves nothing. It doesn’t even, in general, make people rich. It just makes rich people richer.

how can something be so courageous and yet so true (slrpnk.net)

Edit: Jesus Christ, people. If you buy a $150 Thinkpad made by slave labor instead of a $1,200 MacBook made by slave labor, you’re still supporting a capitalist economy based on slave labor. We all do. We have no choice. The number of smug liberals in the comments saying “well I buy a cheap used laptop” or “well I buy...

And I would wager that the vast majority of people have no idea how to upgrade RAM or change an SSD, and many would be afraid to even attempt it, so weight is of much bigger importance to them.

I read that Linux is a huge pain in the ass to put on a Macbook. Is it not?

Got a refurbished $200 Thinkpad T460 on eBay. It’s in really good condition. I installed Mint on it and it works great.

That is way beyond my abilities. I wish I knew enough to swap the speakers. They’re shit.

Why would someone pay to repair a computer they don’t think is broken? Just because you understand what more ram and a bigger drive mean doesn’t mean the average person does.

Good to know for possible future reference. Thanks.

Maybe it’s just the older Macbooks that have an issue with difficult installs. Or maybe Mint fixed whatever the problem was. Or this is just my bad memory again.

unroute all the wiring

And that’s where I would fuck it up. Or wiring it back up again rather.

Edit: Looks like it can be done but fuck if I’m going to try.

I edited my post above. Looks like you can replace the speakers, but it’s a lot more work and a lot more chance of fucking up than I’m willing to chance. Maybe I’ll just get a bluetooth speaker.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

It might be fun to tinker with someday, but for now, I found a $10 bluetooth speaker that will work. Thanks though!

They did. Originally, most of the house had fallen off a cliff. All I can think is that these are ‘before’ photos and they’re lying.
