If there’s a sizeable Jewish population, or probably non-Christian population, I bet they open on Mondays.

Because NYC is far more influential. We’re a soda fountain town.

WNY is a backwards, weird place.

As in, a family member would say “can you get me a coke from the fridge?” And you’d reply “what kind?” And they’d say “sprite!”?

Because that’s what this is referring to. I’ve never heard it anywhere outside of the south.

Not just any keyboard and display, looks like they are gutting old Blackberry Bolds and slapped a pi zero in it.

I think both those things are too extreme. Maybe not every season, especially with short seasons now, but certainly they’ve earned more than one based on execution for both.

The crossover episode was great and the musical was superb, I thought. I don’t want that every episode, but I could handle once a season, but one every other is probably better.

You’re also assuming there are no other shareholders…………

Sure, maybe those 106 are sharing 10% but I doubt it.

It will also keep the ambient temperature closer to the target temperature once the cast iron is fully preheated by absorbing heat while the element is on and radiating heat back into the oven when the element is off.

Yes, but that’s been slowing. They’re reaching limits until the next advance in HDDs.

Flash is still much more expensive per GB.

Power costs, server costs and Datacenter space are going up.

Hopefully with kids in private school you’d have more savings than that, but that’s an easy $15-50k/yr per kid.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the monthly cash burn for a truly middle class family was $5k.

The rule of thumb is 6 months of expenses.

It looks wildly different than what social interactions with any people I know in real life.

It’s a super small percentage of the population that is wildly over represented in lemmy.

It’s definitely not “regular” outside of Russia and China.

I think it’s one of those things where it has to match the rest of the home.

If you have a fairly standard modern home and just slap a turret on it, it looks ridiculous.

Not for nothing, but pork bun has been great for me.

The person I replied to answered a tactical question, which was rephrased “ok, it’s not enough, what do we need to do and why, and for who?” Ie “I am a man who lives with and loves a man who can’t get health insurance because the state doesn’t recognize our relationship.”

With something that basically said “see us, acknowledge our needs” without specifying who “us” are and what those needs are.

You can’t galvanize people to action when you can describe the problem or a solution, or how many people are impacted.

This whole thread is vagueposting about issues with no actual asks that anyone can help with.

You replied to one of my other comments that was the impetus for this. People saying nothing is being done - when clearly a lot is being done - without describing who it isn’t being done for, and what’s not being done.

I’m not suggesting we shouldn’t do more, I’m sure we should. But I do think we have to say more and be real about what is and isn’t working and what we need to do.

That it’s better to not have one than to have one.

Which chronic illness are we talking about? There’s a lot and have wildly different societal needs.

Everything about this post is vague. Everything about your post is vague. What disability? What help do they need right now?

We have TTY services for the deaf, you can text most places or email with them now instead of calling.

Everything constructed in the last 20 years has ramps, elevators and plenty of handicap parking.

NYC has been spending billions retrofitting elevators into 200 year old subway stations.

Things are being done - but mobility is an infrastructure problem that works on infrastructure timescales.

You can make gay marriage legal overnight, you can’t magically retrofit buildings overnight. You can’t hire 10 million more special needs teachers. You have to train them.

Which is another great area - look at how much more we do for special needs kids in school - they get aides in integrated classes, and far more 1x1 attention than any other kid in a public school.

I am not saying it’s enough, or that anyone is done, but this “no one sees us and no one is helping” thing doesn’t actually ring true to me.

That sounds pretty bitter, and a little misguided.

I’m sure it sucks, but I bet I could find plenty of marginalized groups that get less support per capita.

The ADA has changed construction across the US for decades. Any substantial renovation involves bringing preexisting structures up to code. That is not nothing. I’m sure it’s hundreds of billions of dollars nationally in accommodations.

The ADA has made you a protected class for decades longer than LGBTQ folks.

It might be slower than you want, and I’m sure it’s still not enough, but it is far more than you’re suggesting. And probably receives more money than any other marginalized group in terms of dollars spent on accommodations.

But who’s? And with what accommodations?

While that is true, the screen protectors are significantly less flexible than the glass screen.

If you hold something even a little firmly against your phone, you will crack the glass screen protector. Your phones screen would not and does not crack.

I’ve cracked quite a few screen protectors that way.

The real answer is stop buying expensive ones. Buy the $9 for 3 from Amazon and replace every couple of months when they crack.

The reason they crack is that screen protectors tout their scratch resistance, and hardness, which comes at the expense of flexibility. Being hard and being brittle tend to go hand in hand.

I wouldn’t care if they scratched more and cracked less, I’m happy to spend $3 every 2-3 months either way.

M.2 is just the connector form factor. Can be NVMe or SATA still.

Depends how they view their business evolving. Ask Apple if you can build a device that runs iOS. They have an App Store and make lots of money from it.

If they want to be in the hardware business, not just building proof of concept/proof of market devices, they very much may not want to share it with other manufacturing of competing devices.
