Know it's in the title, but in case anyone thought they named it after a certain war criminal:

Settler George Bush was a Black pioneer on the Oregon Trail. He aided Indigenous populations battling disease, saved fellow settlers during the famine of 1852 and helped develop what’s now the city of Tumwater, a recent Washington State University Insider story said.

Do the world a favor and punch your local Nazi.

No, it's not.

How much do you think a hamster MRI costs?

How often do I actually need my heat pump system tuned up?

I had a heat pump installed about a year ago. It came with one free service and the installing company has been calling me almost every week to come out and do the complimentary tune up. I know that I obviously should take a free tune up, but it made me wonder. How often do I actually need this done? What are they actually...

If you're 25+ and want to have a sexual relationship with someone that's 18 (or younger, which is actually what you're talking about), it means that you're an immature adult yes, and it also means that you're probably attracted to children. Don't be a pedo.

AmbiguousProps ,

Does this apply to heat pumps?

AmbiguousProps ,

This is news? He's been doing that the entire time.

Best way to backup files

I have about 500GB of data (photos, documents, videos etc.) that I have accumulated over the years. Currently, I keep them on my computer and rsync all additions / changes once a month or so to an external hard drive. Do I need to be worried about data loss (sectors going bad, bit rot, bit flip, whatever it is called)?...

AmbiguousProps ,

I like Duplicacy, which is $20 but worth it for something as important as backups.

The latest cuts come as the company enjoys its fastest growth rate since early 2022, alongside improving profit margins. Last week, Alphabet reported a 15% jump in first-quarter revenue from a year earlier and announced its first-ever dividend and a $70 billion buyback.

Pieces of shit.

Which therapists? Both therapist and my partner's are very open to it.

Funny, that's exactly how I'd describe her.

Does Floccus count? It syncs via caldev into the native bookmarks.

I deleted my Google account…

... And damm it feels good! Before starting this step, I had to migrate to a better browser that respects privacy (Brave, because🖕Firefox, I mean Mozilla at this point doesn’t even want you to be safe on the web anymore!) And a better “Google-style” ecosystem (Proton is the best they have an email service, a calendar, a...

If that's why you hate firefox, I've got bad news about Brave..

Yikes, that last paragraph.

:(

I'd bet it counts crop duster pilots, too, who fly very close to the ground in decaying aircraft.

"free gaza" is not "Jew hate", that's absolutely insane.

Trump Media and Technology Group, which owns Truth Social, says focus is ‘long-term product development’ rather than revenue

Cope.

Do you have an exhaust fan somewhere?

For real, Biden should not have been the candidate, and now we're stuck with him.

AmbiguousProps ,

Yes, but they're also trying to increase profitability, likely thanks to Microsoft.

It's a billionaire classic.

Just tried it out for a bit, and while the responses were faster, the amount of incorrect information and hallucinations seemed to be the same. Its memory might be even worse.

Dozens of stars show signs of hosting advanced alien civilisations ( www.newscientist.com )

Two surveys of millions of stars in our galaxy have revealed mysterious spikes in infrared heat coming from dozens of them. Astronomers say this could be evidence for alien civilisations harnessing energy from their stars by using a vast construction known as a Dyson sphere – although they can’t fully rule out more mundane...

AmbiguousProps ,

It's never aliens until it's aliens.

AmbiguousProps ,

You are very ignorant of the truth. Do you think we landed a probe on the moon that was able to take apart and bring back parts of Surveyor 3 in 1969? That would be way more unbelievable than humans doing it instead. What a incredibly stupid and moronic hill you've chosen to die on.

AmbiguousProps ,

Independent civilians picked up the live signals being beamed back from the positions of the landings. These signals were both video and audio. Multiple nations have independently imaged the landing sites with footprints visible. You can even see the shadows of the flags on the moon. That would be a whole lot of design and engineering nowadays, let alone in the 60's.
You can read about these and more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-party_evidence_for_Apollo_Moon_landings

But yeah, clearly the most logical conclusion is that we designed a probe to make fake human footprints, plant a flag, drive around a buggy, take lunar rock samples, plant mirrors on the surface, and obtain all of the scientific data that we have, all in the 1960's. Then, we just kept sending these probes (which somehow do not appear in any photographs, not even tracks from one) for decades. On top of that, no one involved has spilled the beans, not even on their deathbeds.

I wonder which of these scenarios is more likely. I don't think you're a troll or an idiot, I think you're a full-fledged dumbass.

AmbiguousProps , (edited )

You need to be on the moon to believe it then?

It came from the far reaches of your ass, maybe, but definitely not your mind.

AmbiguousProps ,

They react that way because its unbelievable how someone could actually be as stupid as to deny the moon landing in 2024. "You weren't there first hand" is not as good as a defense as you think, and you've used it over and over. Is that all you've got? I haven't been to the war in Ukraine, but I sure as hell know it's happening. Are you unable to know something is happening without it being in your face?

AmbiguousProps ,

How would you verify, since you're the one that doesn't believe the facts right in front of your nose?

I care because to deny something like the moon landing is to deny the blood, sweat, and tears that went into it, it's one of humanity's greatest achievements. To deny it is to deny all science and logic. You're seriously surprised that people would get pissed off at you when you basically call all of NASA liars? Not just NASA, but also basically all astronomers?

You're even more ignorant than I thought if you can't even comprehend why people would care.

AmbiguousProps ,

Yes, anyone that can't comprehend that we landed on the moon is stupid, like you. Correct! That is indeed how statistics work.

Hilarious that you'd link an article that says that it actually happened, too.

NASA has sent moon rock samples around the globe. They've been compared to rocks retrieved by probes and are the same (this was discussed at length in my previous Wikipedia link). But I guess that's suddenly not going to be good enough for you, you'll just come up with another reason to die on this hill. At least I can be happy knowing that we really did go to the moon, I'm sorry your brain will never be able to comprehend that amazing fact. It's sad, when it comes down to it. I feel bad for you.

AmbiguousProps ,

This is exactly what I did, after having a bad experience with one of those services. It's like night and day, honestly.

We need to go back!

Fuck Russia

Russia arrests more journalists in intensifying crackdown on dissent ( www.washingtonpost.com )

Russia has arrested two Russian journalists on “extremism” charges in recent days, the latest moves in a continuing crackdown targeting independent reporters and media outlets. A third Russian journalist, with Forbes Russia, was charged with publishing what authorities called “fake news.”...

Demonstrations roil US campuses ahead of graduations as protesters spar over Gaza conflict ( www.seattletimes.com )

Why is replacement for home device controls so complicated?

I recently learned about Home Assistant here on Lemmy. It looks like a replacement for Google Home, etc. However, it requires an entire hardware installation. Proprietary products just use a simple app to manage and control devices, so can someone explain why a pretty robust dedicated device is necessary as a replacement? The...

Bluetooth can do it locally, but yes, for things on ZigBee or Z-Wave, it's gotta have an antenna hub. WiFi switches and lights most likely do "phone-home" to the cloud in some way (usually for color or brightness control via app, Govee especially loves this). The down side, other than the obvious privacy implications, is that if your ISP has an outage, so do your switches.

Home Assistant attempts to mitigate both the privacy and offline issues, while putting all of the different brands and hubs into one place.

My ball python also weirdly likes to climb!

I can't wait to vote him out of office. He has done little for the state and district, and clearly doesn't give a shit.

I like how he said intimidation is the tactic they're using (while calling them fascists) and in the same breath says the protesters should be arrested. He's literally complaining about fascism while supporting it himself.

Amnesty: World seeing near breakdown of international law amid wars in Gaza and Ukraine ( apnews.com )

The world is seeing a near breakdown of international law amid flagrant rule-breaking in Gaza and Ukraine, multiplying armed conflicts, the rise of authoritarianism and huge rights violations in Sudan, Ethiopia and Myanmar, Amnesty International warned Wednesday as it published its annual report....

Constantly.

Does your bank not have autopay?

In fact, this seems to make the surface area for the contact wires to hit much larger, probably makes it an easier target.
