This is a common misconception about what an extrovert and introvert is.

Extroverts are energized by being around others but can’t create their own energy.

Introverts create their own energy but need to be alone to recharge.

It’s not about whether you’re outgoing or not.

Don’t forget the courage to not support CarPlay/Android Auto … just stupid.

Oh 100% this is why. It always comes down to money and power. This bill threatened both, especially #4.

1. “The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the nation.”
2. “The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation.”
3. “The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living.”
4. “The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home and abroad.”
5. “The right of every family to a decent home.”
6. “The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health.”
7. “The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accidents, and unemployment.”
8. “The right to a good education.”

Such a great slow burn album. Absolutely builds.

Donald Trumps America is right. This isn’t my America.

Oh … this isn’t dadjokes

I’m in the trades, we’ve only increased hiring.

That last sentence, "And I’m fighting for the very working people that he ran a campaign to empower that he has since then betrayed,” is very true.

The conservative people I work with DO NOT like what Trump is doing right now. Hope it hits fever pitch where they actually start doing something about it and send a very clear message. Trump won’t listen because he’s too much up a psychopathic narcissist but it may change the people around him to stop empowering him.

I was thinking the same thing. It really does describe it well.

This is exactly what came to mind when I read the question. Unbelievably cinematic moment. Still one of my favorite strategy games.

I’m definitely not seeing that on the instances I’m following. Ex. Calls for murdering the rich are not okay regardless of how someone feels.

I think Lemmy just don’t tolerate that view point. I see plenty of hard leftism being tolerated by mods when they shouldn’t. But hey, none of them are my instance. It’s grossly lopsided.

Any talk of religion in a non-negative way and the pitchforks come out.

The irrationality and hyper emotional state of a lot of commenters. Not saying there isn’t due cause these days* but people GET. A. GRIP. and control yourself. You aren’t helping others or yourself with that behavior. It’s super immature.

*I’m not talking about being angry. I’m talking about how do I go on living emotional responses.

That’s what happened. It’s not the solution.

Every time my kids say they’re bored I tell them that being bored is a useful skill.

You should have at least 16” of insulation in your attic. Check for regional guidelines on this as it depends on where you live.

Insulation settles over time so the older the home the less your insulation has air gaps that do the work. This is the lowest cost form of improving your situation and the cost is mostly in labor since it’s hot work. Buy insulation yourself and do the work yourself to save a LOT. You can rent insulation blowers from big box hardware stores and they usually have deals where if you buy a certain amount of insulation the rental is free. Early morning is the best as it’ll be the coolest, drink lots of electrolytes when you start sweating. New insulation has rolled ends so it’s not the super itchy type of yore. It’s not terrible and you’ll be glad you did it once it’s over. Having a hand is not essential but makes it a lot easier.

We insulated our garage with paper backed rolled insulation for 2x4s for not much more than $300 over a few months (I did the labor) and it improved the temp swings by ~40°. Absolutely great investment and it was super easy to do. All I needed was a stapler, tape measure, utility knife, a ladder, and myself.

Buy a meat thermometer and put it in your floor or ceiling vents. You should have a 20°F+ drop from what the room is at to what is coming out of your vents. This is known as a delta T (temperature difference). If it’s lower you need to get your AC checked out by a reputable company with warranties and guarantees. Chuck and truck is always a waste of time and money, they’re lower cost up front but you will regret it most of the time. If your system is 15 years or older you may need to get it replaced as repairs are often more costly than it’s worth and all newer system are much more efficient, saving you $ in the long term.

Duct sealing is another thing that can improve your AC issues. Most ducts leak 40% due to holes in joints etc. The air you want to get to the furthest part of your house isn’t getting there at its full extent. Look for companies that Aeroseal. This will be cheaper than a mini split but can be as effective. You’re looking at a few thousand depending on the size of your situation.

They still work better than no AC. Your costs just go up more than with a dual hose.

This is a fact. It’s absolutely the highest priced time to buy any air conditioning. Everyone is buying so they have zero incentive for true sales.
