The black cruiser from before the fall of the Hegemony in the Hyperion Cantos tends to be the one that appears in my dreams the most, even 30 years later. Also the fucking tree ships.

Android@lemmy.world•How does everyone feel about Oneplus phones?
1·3 years agoI had a OnePlus One, and a 5, and I’m currently rocking a 9Pro. Fantastic phone, great photos, I don’t mind OxygenOS. The only problem I have is because it’s not supported by carriers in Canada (had no problems in the US), VoWIFI can be flaky which sucks.

Politics@beehaw.org•Why is Kamala Harris disliked so much as VP?
2·3 years agoIf your child is missing 80 out of 180 days of school, you’re doing a bang up job as a parent.

4·3 years agoNew research also suggests that “truancy” is an arbitrary metric. The term refers to unexcused absences, but California gives individual schools substantial flexibility to determine what constitutes a valid excuse. (Certain reasons, like illnesses and religious observances, are always valid by law.)
And:
Shayla frequently missed school because she was in too much pain to leave the house or was hospitalized for long-term care. Her school was aware of these circumstances; it had records on file from the regional children’s hospital explaining that Shayla’s condition would necessitate unpredictable absences and special educational accommodations. Peoples and the school had worked together to set up some of those accommodations, which are required under federal disability law. At the time of her arrest, Peoples claims she was fighting with the school to get it to agree to additional accommodations under an Individualized Education Plan, which she said the school had rejected.
So basically, it’s the school at fault here. Right?

14·3 years agoI’m saddened by the amount of taxpayer money that was spent searching for 5 millionaires who went missing while on a joyride in a test vehicle.

1·3 years agoOr when CallerID was an additional $8/month. It’s fucking DNS for telephone numbers. Can you imagine if ISP’s had charged extra for DNS and everyone decided to just memorize IP addresses instead?

Technology@kbin.social•Reddit says it’s ‘not acceptable’ for communities to go NSFW in protest
8·3 years agoI left Reddit and deleted my accounts a few hours after the subs went dark and my feed dried up. I don’t use mobile apps, I have no horse in that race at all.
It just wasn’t an enjoyable place to be anymore, and that’s all because of spez.

11·3 years agoIs it though? It kind of feels like you broke up with someone but are still getting constant updates about who they’re currently fucking the minute you left.
I guess that’s some people’s kink.

Programming@kbin.social•Are there any IDEs or Extensions that emulate Visual Basic?
2·3 years agoYou can try RealBasic or TCL/TK, though I haven’t used either of them in over a decade.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada’s plastic ban has a big hole in it. What can we do about grocery stores?
1·3 years agoRight, but the volume of plastic entering landfills would have to be less now. While I appreciate that someone buying a half dozen peaches or tomatoes might need to double bag, the main purpose of those bags (at least in my mind) is to keep the contents separate from the other shopping items.
No one wants their lettuce brushing up against that box of laundry detergent, or their plastic wrapped chicken leaking all over a a loaf of bread.
The biggest problem with that approach is your team loses their roadmap, funding for new initiatives, and ambition while that’s happening. Your sprint backlog has nothing but minor tech deficit tickets in it, and overall it becomes a chore to get anything done.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada’s plastic ban has a big hole in it. What can we do about grocery stores?
3·3 years agoThose statements conflict though. If the store buys thinner plastic bags to reduce costs, and more plastic is ending up in landfills as a result, then the store would have to be spending more on plastic bags.

12·3 years agoIt’s pretty funny to see someone in the wild who actually thinks because those were Communist countries, the persons in charge must have been ‘Leftists’.
And damn those Leftists down in North Carolina, Kentucky, and Tennessee for growing all that tobacco using slave labor and then lobbying the government for the right to sell their product even though they knew it killed people!
115 comments and -320 karma. Stay woke guy, you’ll get em next time for sure.




Also, those statements appear to conflict. Why are they automatically excluding ‘sensitive professions’ yet stating ‘it depends on the seriousness of the crime’?
