Thanks for the heads up! I haven’t opened this one for a few weeks. Will have to check out the update.

Yep. We have a black and white Brother laser printer, and it’s lasted* for at least five years now. Toner is so much cheaper than those stupid, tiny cartridges with not-enough-cyan.

But circuit judges are appointed federally, by the president. They’re not voted on regionally, so they do not represent the will of the region they preside over.

US transportation head says no grounded Boeing 737 Max 9 planes will return to air ‘until it is safe’ (www.theguardian.com)

The US transportation secretary announced on Wednesday afternoon that no grounded Boeing 737 Max 9 would return to service “until it is safe”, after Alaska Airlines announced the cancellation of all flights on its 737 Max 9 planes at the direction of the Federal Aviation Administration....

This is what happens when you move your headquarters out of Seattle. Just saying…

Why Are American Drivers So Deadly? After decades of declining fatality rates, dangerous driving has surged again. (www.nytimes.com)

The cause was easy enough to identify: Data parsed by Kuhls and her colleagues showed that drivers were speeding more, on highways and on surface streets, and plowing through intersections with an alarming frequency. Conversely, seatbelt use was down, resulting in thousands of injuries to unrestrained drivers and passengers....

Hmm, they’re pretty synonymous, but I think you’re noticing this slight, occasional difference in use: Lethal is active, deadly is passive. A thing can actively be lethal when used by you, but when it’s something that happens to you, it’s deadly. An accident is something that’s considered to have happened to you, despite the fact that it’s typically your fault to some extent.

Yes, it’s the impeachment process. Same as for presidents.

A missing person with no memory: How investigators solved the cold case of Seven Doe (apnews.com)

Buried at the edge of a Chicago Catholic cemetery are an elderly person’s remains marked only by a cement cylinder deep in the ground labeled with the numbers 04985. The person died in 2015 at a nursing home not remembering much, including their own name....

Maybe states should start taxing political spending.

Wasps, definitely, and it does basically suffocate them. We use a water, dish soap, and peppermint mix on paper wasp nests that form in our eaves.

Fiber and water. Find yourself a nice, vegetable soup recipe.

This is spot on. This hadn’t even occurred to me.

Because Washington State has no jurisdiction over Texas. The vice versa is the whole point of this suit.

It just occurred to me that this ability to communicate with a search engine, that everyone used to call Google-fu, was exactly this! It didn’t already know (or think it knew) what you were getting at, and it’s took some practice to figure out how to finesse the results.

I think you have to do what’s best for your people. You have a very particular set of goals with Beehaw, and if the fediverse isn’t the right place for that then it’s fine to move on. I’ll be curious to see what you all decide to do, and, if you do leave, what you end up creating!

Different Americans think different things. There’s no way in hell I’d let my kid fly alone at six!

Carrots, not cookies! We leave cookies for Santa, carrots and celery for the reindeer.

That bit about suburban housewives is not correct. Swing voters are more likely to be young and male, and there isn’t much distinction between rural/suburban/urban. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/999e162f-3dfb-453c-9662-b1e87db84450.jpeg

Is there an artist so horrible that no matter how hard you try that you cannot separate their art from them?

Similar to the recent question about artists where you can successfully separate them from their art. Are there any artists who did something so horrible, so despicable, that it has instantly invalidated all art that they have had any part in?

Well, one’s alive and the other isn’t. As long as the inheritors of MJ’s estate are decent people, I think it’s fine at this point. Still skeeves me out to listen to his stuff, though. Two verses in and my brain is popping.

Not OP, but I’ve found that the older they get, the harder it gets. Schedules are all over the place, and they start advocating for things they want to do that don’t fit neatly into the family calendar (vs when you were able to choose everything for them).

Expectations for parents have also skyrocketed. Your “best” now is far different than what the 1990s parents were expected to deliver. And, of course, you love them and want to provide them everything they need, so you bend over backwards to make it happen. That’s what society demands, too.

I don’t have as many kids as OP, and I can’t fucking imagine wrangling five in the current world…😳

Um, I’m sitting here wondering where they spent the rest of their savings. (Parent here.)

No, it’s more like 25,000 bananas.
