sawdustprophet@midwest.socialto News@lemmy.world•Why are US flags being flown at half-staff on Inauguration Day?English33·6 months agodoesn’t it usually only last a day or two?
From the article:
U.S. flag code dictates that flags remain lowered for the 30-day period from the death of a former president. But that code isn’t mandatory, so once he becomes president, Trump could technically override it.
So I gather the answer to your question is “yes, but also no”.

sawdustprophet@midwest.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are your plans to replace first past the post voting in your state after the election?English13·8 months agoParty A gets 40% of the vote
Party A wins because they get the majority
Just going to point out, 40% is not a majority. In this case they have a plurality.
sawdustprophet@midwest.socialto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do cell phones have a data limit but home internet doesn't?English9·9 months agoIn many US rural areas, home internet connections have a monthly cap
And suburban, and urban. I’ve never lived anywhere that didn’t have a cap.
sawdustprophet@midwest.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•“I am still alive”: Users say T-Mobile must pay for killing “lifetime” price lockEnglish6·9 months agoI still have the T-Mobile G1 phone plan.
Man that was a great phone.
My plan isn’t quite that old, but it’s getting up there. They recently increased my price by a few dollars per line. Then they tried to get me to move to a current plan, which turned out to be 20% higher price for less return. I had to try not to burst out laughing at the poor guy’s face.
I’ve been with TMo for more than 20 years–they’re the only carrier I’ve ever used–but if my price goes up again I’m jumping ship.

Sources say that Ubisoft was expecting The Lost Crown to sell similarly to the biggest Metroidvania’s in the market, with millions of units sold in a relatively short space of time. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has sold approximately one million units at the time of writing.

I don’t know if this was a typo, but it’s rather appropriate either way.
sawdustprophet@midwest.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Android malware steals payment card data using previously unseen techniqueEnglish7·11 months agoYou don’t actually give the card to the employees, do you?
Typically when I go through a drive thru, I hand my card to someone who then leans back inside to swipe/tap/whatever it, then they hand it back. So yes, commonly I do give my card to an employee for at least a few seconds.
During 2020-2022 more of them were in the habit of placing the PIN pad at the window so it could be reached by customers from their cars, but it wasn’t designed to be used that way and I’m sure it caused other issues.

Assuming this is in fact in Chernivtsi, as the post title says, it’s not too bad there. Mean temp falls below freezing for three months out of the year.
Still, probably not fun to climb when there is ice…

trump could make the compliment and he will back him
I’m guessing “compliment” was supposed to be “complaint”?
Did you also catch that he was identified as “R-Indiana” in the video?
