$12 for a 1TB MicroSD card? Are you living in the future? :P

Yeah, as low as $61 on Amazon for 1TB. Pretty amazing if you’re old like me and remember diskettes.

A 1-terabyte MicroSD card

Dealing with 6 different media companies is exhausting. You have no idea. When they finally merge my staff will only need to pay one of them. More time for everyone to play golf. Win-win.

Companies use the same kind of systems to (poorly) automate the search for candidates, which is also spammy, inefficient, and wastes job-seekers time. This just levels the playing field.

My guess is it depends on the damage this attack will cause. If the missiles are all shot down or hit desert, it will be some punitive F-35 strike on an Iranian airfield somewhere. But if there’s significant damage and casualties it could escalate.

I don’t think Iran is going to risk all out war with Israel and the US. I suspect they expect most of their missiles (like the drones) to be shot down. Perhaps that’s wishful thinking though…

Who considers Patrick a trusted source of information? He’s basically doing comedy news with a focus on finance. Entertaining, interesting, but not like a full-on serious reporter.

It’s surprisingly calming to listen to Patrick cathartically vent, after what must’ve been a stressful education and career in finance.

Keep Lemmy small. Make the influence of conversation here uninteresting.

I’m doing my part!

I’m pretty sure that’s not how it works on Lemmy. For some reason “block” here is really what “mute” is everywhere else on fedi.

Not the onion indeed

I disagree on giving up on a political issue only because it wouldn’t pass right now. Politics is compromise. If you only take positions which are already on the line of compromise you’ve already lost.

No, they get it. And that is so much worse.

The same can be said for literally every issue.

“Oh if only the Democrats stopped talking about abortion, electoral reform, racial justice, the environment, education, etc. they’d be more appealing to certain voters!”

Capitulating on a widely supported issue just to possibly attract a minority group of voters is a show of weakness.

If it’s popular, why wouldn’t the Democrats keep fighting for it?

Whether it will realistically happen anytime soon, yeah I’d say the odds are very low.

But let’s not just give up as it can’t ever happen.

Also “political theater” is like half of actual politics, so don’t knock it too easily :P

This has been said about many issues in the past. Effecting change isn’t easy but giving up doesn’t help. Americans support gun control. Only our crappy political system stands in the way.

Yeah, counting only fatal shootings as “mass shootings” is strange. A gunshot wound can easily be a life-altering injury, and this should be reflected in the statistics.

Zebraman, by Takashi Miike.

Yup.

I hope instance admins can clean up their databases from this stuff, because I suspect these Reddit mirroring bots take up enormous amounts of database storage on popular instances once all those posts get pushed there.

Record yourself talking and taking notes (like on an iPad or drawing tablet or something)? This seems to be fairly common and uncontroversial.
