I had a boss who wanted me to print the company website for him…gods, what a fossil, but he signed the paycheck so…

Who the hell still carries around paper checks? I think I’ve written a total of 3 checks in the past 4-5 years, all for home service like plumbers.

With Trump it’s hard to know with certainty what will happen, between flipflops and flat-out lying. I think the speed with which the various government agencies collapsed/capitulated before Musk & DOGE, and the capitulation of universities over Palestine protests and ICE, were not things anyone could predict. One could predict the rest of the Republicans would go along with all that stuff, but surprised the Democrats are not always fully unified against.

If you’re still in 2024 you should be a lot happier than the 2025 you. In 2024 we were saying damnit that idiot got voted in again, 2025 we are saying fuck, US democracy is being dismantled, the Republicans are all for it, and some stupid Democrats are helping, wtf!

You’ve saved us all! Hero!

Oh yes we’ll also colonize Saturn and end world poverty. College degrees for all! Easy to blather a bunch of nonsense goals with no regard for the attainability or necessity.

Certain types of Christian do not believe that. And some types of Christian believe that only the members of their little cult branch are going to go to heaven.

That’s an angry guy. Though to be fair a lot of the mugshots have them glaring up from under the brows (e.g. Eastman, Smith).

I gotta admit it’s a bit cathartic to see him booked, mugshotted and fingerprinted like a criminal deserves.

Especially his very best of girlfriends, Rudy Giuliani. Coming right through for him

It’s not about the voting method. These people want to invalidate votes they don’t like. Arizona Republicans went on a wild goose chase of looking for bamboo fibers in printed ballots which would “prove” they were printed in China.

Thanks. Not going near the springs. I’ve seen many posts where people want to replace them themselves and everyone advises against it. I’ve worked on the motor unit before - the gears (nylon I think) had gotten chewed up somehow and I replaced them.

I was thinking there would be a chance of that. In researching the replacement circuit board they seem big into backwards compatibility.

I guess my question was whether the stats, e.g. number of teeth per inch, width, thickness on garage door belts are standardized/universal. It’s good information that you were able to reuse the chain and replacing it isn’t that hard to do, thanks!

Yes, clearly the motor itself works fine. When I said motor unit I meant the entire box which includes the circuit board electronics that’s failed. If the radio in the motor unit isn’t working I’m not sure the Meross is going to solve that problem.

I got all excited when the cost of hard drives got down to $10/MB.

Rolling up on my 10th year (September). There are some subs where I haven’t been able to find an equivalent community anywhere else, so I have an RSS feed pulling in posts from those places, but Lemmy and Tildes are covering the bulk of it for me.
