A kid just did it tonight at level 155 - Fractual161 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lN18RxSgDZ4&t=3363s I think that time stamp is right around when he did it, if not look around the middle of the video.

I retired in 2019 and spent months tracing accounts and reporting fake accounts to facebook and never had one account removed from my reports. I found the Dorr brothers alt accounts and exposed their astroturfing various gun groups and anti-quarantine groups that acted like local grassroots groups for a large number of locations. A Washington Post article (and several other news orgs picked up the story) was published after I contacted a reporter about what I found and handed over the evidence I found. Facebook didn't remove one single group or account linked to the Dorr Brothers.

The point I'm getting to is I just had a post of mine removed two days ago for "Cybersecurity" reasons. The post was made in August and was nothing more than me explaining Project 2025 and contained quotes from the Project 2025 manifesto. No links and in no way could be a threat to anyone's security. Facebook is anti-democracy and a threat.

Here's the AFL-CIO's take on right to work AFL-CIO

I used to be a union member in a right to work state and we had no union contract or protections until a democrat majority was voted in to the state government and passed a law allowing public safety unions to collectively bargain a contract with our employer.

Right to work states are anti union.

Yeah I do the same thing. Took the free cs50 classes from Harvard online because I was bored one night and wanted to learn Python for some reason.

Meal planner and shopping lists are a gateway drug. Next thing you know you're 30 topics deep with embedded webpages and items in a database, planning world domination one step at a time.

In all seriousness, I started using notion because I have ADHD and needed something to keep me on track then I really over did it and have lists and planning set up for most of my daily life and I share it all with my GF who uses it for all of her notes.

Obsidian and Notion are decent.

I've settled on using wsl2 on a windows machine. I run Ubuntu and kali in wsl as virtual machines on my main windows computer. I was an early user of linux and bsd but have found it's just plain easier to run day to day on windows.

I run both Ubuntu and kali simply because I haven't been able to make sound work correctly with Ubuntu on wsl but it works great in kali, plus kali has all the pentesting stuff so I can play around with that in my free time.

Congrats on the neat gift! Only thing I saw on the site was "fits books up to 15" tall". I'd assume the sides are around 1/2" thick and the over hang of the roof is around 1.5" - 2" on each side. The bottom is probably 1/2" thick also so subtract that from the outside dimensions given on the website and you should have a rough idea of what the inside is unless they have some additional support inside that we can't see from the pics on the website.

I have been wanting to put one up for quite a long time but live in an area where I'm afraid it would become a drug stash or an invitation for trouble. I still might do it someday because I think it could help someone and that would outweigh the downsides. I hope yours gets a lot of use!

I'm not sure if they would be classified as influencers but have you ever fallen into the rabbit hole of youtube reaction channels? I fell into it because of a band I like was being heavily reacted to on youtube but I quickly noticed there is a cycle of right wing propagandists like Tom McDonald and other music type people who get featured on these reaction channels. The majority of the reactors I watch are black but they sell their souls for the traffic they get from what I assume are mostly bots that watch and comment in support of the right wing propaganda.

The first time I watched one of those reaction videos I was awestruck by how the reactor was so agreeable to the theme of "I won't apologize for being white". I know it's only tangibly related to the topic here but I have been bothered by it and wanted to share and see what other people think.

I am convinced the reactors or paid to favorably review this stuff.

The other posters have given good info. I just wanted to add to try setting the fan to on instead of auto so it runs all of the time. This will help keep the air moving in the house and might help keep it cooler. Also make sure you check the filter and change it if you haven't yet. See if your energy company offers an energy audit. that will tell you if you have leaky windows, doors, or insulation problems. I have shitty insulation but with the ac fan running all of the time I can keep the house @ 70 - 72 on a 95 degree day.

I'd also consider getting a second opinion from another HVAC company, you could have undersized ductwork or another problem that the first company isn't acknowledging.

I never said anything about condoning criminality. I said valuing property higher than life isn't right. I said this in another post a few days ago but I'll say it again. I live in a high crime area and I am sick and tired of people stealing from not only me but my neighbors and from businesses that support the community's needs. That doesn't change the fact I think it's morally repugnant to want to kill someone for property theft.

If we invested more in community building and opportunities along with courts and police departments upholding the law we would have less of these types of crimes. Where I live the police stopped policing because they got mad after several officers were charged with the murder of a kid they arrested. In my eyes that makes them the same as the people stealing from the community. The courts here rarely convict juveniles so the kids know they can get away with just about anything.

While I say I live in a high crime area I also know that overall in the US crime rates have been declining over the years especially violent crime rates.

This is one of the most genius works of art I think I have ever seen. I've watched it several times and have noticed something different every time.

Ren has a ton of really great works that will blow your mind. I suggest this one first then The Hunger after The hunger you could listen to Money Game pt1 and pt2 or go down the rabbit hole of his Busking videos. Only thing is to make sure to listen to Jenny, Screech, and Violet In that order as they build on each other.
