Made for it in what way? I'm not seeing a slot for it to sit in or anything to hold it in place. Regardless of whether it's the intended place or not, a flat panel TV just resting on its edge with nothing holding it in place is asking for trouble.

Oh! Was it the Liberian guy that Trump complimented on his good English when that's an English speaking country? Okay, I'm slow. Funny!

What does Liberia have against Trump?

Our Aussie for comparison

Looks like a dachshund/Australian shepherd mix. Or is it some particular breed?

Summary: Mostly because droughts in the places that raise beef have forced ranchers to sell off their herds (so supply is less than demand), but also because of grain prices and tariffs. Cattle are slow-growing so prices are expected to stay high for a few years.

Sounds stressful for you and for the folks around you.

I think you're going to find that most people don't have great advice for how to do it because it's not something they've struggled to overcome. There might be people here who have that issue or one similar enough, and overcome it, so they can tell you how they did. But your better bet is going to be to look into some kind of anger management techniques.

First, don’t tell me that the answer is just to “not bottle things up”, because that’s objectively incorrect too.

Well, no, it's not objectively incorrect. I get the sense that the main problem you have is communicating negative emotions without being overly confrontational or acerbic about it. My experience is that it's very possible to tell someone you're unhappy about something without making a major deal out of it.

Also, I'm curious about how often you find yourself in the situation we're taking about. Everybody had occasions where they have to vent frustrating, but if that's a super frequency occurrence, there might be something else going on. Sometimes it should be enough to take a deep breath, recognize that the issue is minor, and let it go.

That is both sad and likely accurate.

Maybe he's a vibe journalist.

That quote really is the problematic part. The part about switches is fine - it's an attempt to explain tech to a "normie." But for a tech writer to ever say it's not clear why they settled on 256 is worse than embarrassing. They had to be corrected by tweets.

Anyone whose ever had an intro to computers class has had a computing professional explain computers using simple language and analogies. That's the way this kind of thing should work. It sounds like this author has no more clue about computing than the target audience, which isn't going to work out well for the reader.

I wasn't a big fan of goat

 
 

I've mostly been a .world user, but have this alt account on .ca as a backup. I logged into it to make sure I didn't have anything in my inbox, and noticed that everything loads so much faster. In both cases I'm using the browser interface from my tablet, sorting by all. On .world, there's a pause before the text comes up, then the thumbnails and graphics slowly populate. On .ca, it all pretty much loads instantly.

Is it just the number of users being a lot bigger? More community activity? Hardware differences? Running different software versions? A combination of these? I'm curious.

 

Over the past several years, increasingly destructive hurricanes, wildfires, blizzards, and other extreme weather events have made it clear that the effects of climate change aren’t some future hypothetical, but our current reality. Not to be outdone, the summer of 2023 has been coming in hot — literally — with July shattering the record for the planet’s hottest month, and coming to a close with “numerous fires” breaking out in the Arctic circle. And while the recent high temperatures and debilitating humidity may not be responsible for as much property damage as a hurricane, it’s been disastrous for our mental health.
