People are much nicer as a whole here. I was on Reddit for years and I started to dread seeing I had replies to my comments. I'm actually excited when I get responses here.

It helps a ton. Facial massage and neti pots help me survive the worst congestion.

Oh shit, I didn't know about ESPhome. There goes my free time!

No kidding. I have a disability and was fired back in January for it (investigation and lawsuit pending). There are so few jobs I can do and it really sucks.

Seconded. Alligator Auschwitz is appropriate.

I'm surprised they haven't called for a recount on elections they've won.

You're not supposed to chew them?! I love oysters but I chew them up.

If only science could provide an answer. It must be a witch!

I'm a secret leftist amongst a bunch of low information MAGA voters (the ones that voted for Trump more because they're stupid and easily duped than being giant racists) in a few different circles. All they know is I own guns and answer "oh fuck no" when asked if I'm a liberal, so they assume I'm a non-MAGA conservative*. Hehehe.

Without exception, they adore Elno. They don't realize it but they're prosperity gospel types (because stupid), so they assume he must be a good and intelligent guy, otherwise Jebus wouldn't have made him successful.

*Side note: I have one all hot and bothered about seizing the means of production, just using different terms.

I'd amend that to already tiny intentional userbase. Google, Samsung, Microsoft, Apple, and others are gleefully shoving it down their users's throats, hoping they'll get hooked, so there's a massive userbase. I suspect this is exactly why only 3% are willing to pay - they're a portion of the tiny group who actually signed up.

I stopped trying to make sense of fascist's activities based on policy, morality, or even consistency, and now see them as doing or saying whatever is most advantageous at the time, even if it directly contradicts their previous assertions. Now their actions almost always make sense and are very predictable.

You can't reason with people like this, only maneuver them into a position where what you want is also most beneficial (or least detrimental) for them.

 

I couldn't find a more appropriate place to post this. It's a bar in Reykjavik. Cool place, would recommend.

 

Seriously people, use the fucking fan. It clears away odors and covers up the sounds of your dropping a deuce. If you want to stew in your shit smell and revel in the music of your magical poop plops, do so in the comfort of your own home. If you're a guest and the bathroom has a fan, turn it on. We don't want to share.

Sorry friends, that's at-will employment, *and you still can't be terminated for any reasons that are protected by law, but we're not here to discuss that. Right-to-work laws mean one thing: that non-union employees cannot be required to contribute to the cost of union representation.

The Taft-Hartley Act of 1947 prohibits "closed shops", where union membership is a condition of employment; however, union represented positions can still be required to contribute to the cost of that representation. Right-to-work laws prohibit that requirement, allowing employees in union represented positions who choose not to join the union to also choose whether or not they contribute to the union's costs, i.e., if they pay dues or not.

I see this mistake frequently and thought folks might want to know the correct information so they don't unintentionally perpetuate it.

Edit: updated to include link to info about at-will employment.

Halp! Calibrating touchscreen on Panasonic CF-30

Hey all! I've been having an issue I can't figure out. Suddenly, I realized I'm in the heart of Linux users! I can ask here! I'm a total noob, so please be gentle.

I installed Xubuntu and got everything but the touchscreen working properly. The touchscreen works but the cursor is consistently off a bit, with the least error in the center of the screen and increasing as it moves to the sides. I've tried running xinput_calibrator but it doesn't help. I attempted to run libinput.calibrate-touchscreen but keep getting a "is a Wayland compositor running?" error message.

Any suggestions?
