We have an RV and usually bring them with us, which generates its own set of issues, but at least we’re not missing them!
Of course that doesn’t work for trips abroad, so we hired a company to come in daily and take care of them while we were gone. They sent us pictures and updates!
Nah I’ve only been to Aldi’s about 3 times in my life (nothing against it, they just don’t have many locations near me). These are several different chains of stores in different parts of the US.
I swear this is a regional thing. Where I live now, it is extremely rare to see a cart outside the return. But I’ve lived in other places where it seemed like no one returned their cart, ever.
I think it’s a peer pressure thing - once it’s the norm, everyone just does it. But if people started breaking that, I’d suddenly start seeing carts all over the lot.
What censorship? I see someone posted the comic in the comments, and I can’t spot any differences. Maybe OP updated the original post.
We’re not in Fuck Cars, right?.. Okay.
I bought my first new car in 1999. A friend of mine commented that she had no idea what I was going to do for a midlife crisis car. I figured I’d keep it 10 years, then move on.
But here I am, approaching half a century old, and I’m still happy with my car and have zero plans to get rid of it, ever (it’s not a daily driver, so it doesn’t accumulate that many miles - we usually drive my wife’s car for most errands and driving to work).
I am drooling over a new bicycle though…
Yeah. Some of them are dumb. But all of them have been fed decades of bullshit “news” and are indoctrinated.
He knows better. It’s an act to make money. It’s all about the real god, Money.
Yeah they started putting ads on the dasher boards a few years ago. There are also ads digitally inserted on the ice.
The tech is pretty cool. When they first started doing it, it would sometimes cut off players, but they seemed to get it settled down within a few months.
I know the /r/hockey sub was really upset about it when it was first implemented, and I was annoyed at first because of the glitches. But now, it’s like…well, now I see these ads instead of those ads…what’s the difference?
and he’ll be equally crazy.
Equally? That seems optimistic. He’ll go even farther off the deep end. Even if he wins, he’ll contest it, because he clearly should have won by a larger margin.
Oh, that was me. I installed it on my desktop Linux computer the other day.
You’re welcome.
My dentist has a setup where you can watch the dental work he’s doing on your mouth, assuming you don’t need glasses and can see the monitor in the corner.
I’m not sure why anyone would want that. But he has it.
Lol I’m working on a MAME emulator system and saw the roms for Altered Beast yesterday, and I wondered if I should bother, because I remember playing it some in the arcade. Sounds like I should skip it!
Someone tell my cats!
Had a busy morning and evening, so I decided to try to take a nap for an hour this afternoon. One of our cats laid down on my legs and turned into a warm puddle, albeit after a few minutes of demanding scratches.
Then one of other ones got into “poor, unloved kitty” mode, meowing loudly for no particular reason. I’m told the third one was also making noise, but I didn’t hear that.
“People voting for their leaders? That’s socialism!”
Lemmy Explorer will do it…I think. “Newest publish time” sort is what you’re looking for, I think.
I don’t understand buying a car that’s physically uncomfortable to sit in.
It’s one thing if the seat is uncomfortable after a long drive; you’ll never get that from a test drive. But this would be bugging me from the minute I sat down, and I’d never buy a car with that issue - no matter how cheap it is, I have enough neck problems without them being exacerbated by my car.
Pretty sure my great great grandparents were German. I’d have to double check that. My grandmother’s maiden name is pretty German Jewish, but I can’t recall at the moment whether she was a first generation immigrant or not. I did some research on this a few years back, and I would have to look at my notes to confirm.
It’s a little confusing because there’s a actually some German heritage on both sides - the grandmother above was my father’s mother, but there’s some on my mother’s side, too.
Americans are obsessed with genealogy, and I spent some time on it during the pandemic, so I can tell you I’m some odd fraction German, which you usually can’t get to, like 5/8ths, because it comes from both families.
Yeah I saw that about Germany. Unfortunately, if even Germany is sliding that way, it’s hard to imagine anywhere else not doing the same…
Laws mean nothing any more. Both houses of Congress are Republican and the Supreme Court has several Trump supporters on it. No one with any power will stop him.
