@MargaretSefton@writing.exchange @Lana@beige.party They need to stop inviting him to anything. Shut him out, stop giving him airtime. He’s only doing it to get more attention on himself. Same with the World Cup. He didn’t need to be there, and his behaviour tells you everything you need to know about why he was. He wanted the spot light on him. He had no interest in football. He just wants his name and/or his photo attached to as many things as possible. Except the files.

@peachfront@toot.community @bks@mastodon.social @kibcol1049@mstdn.social They're hoping that even when people do appeal they can drag it long enough that you will die before they have to pay out. Even worse in my mind are the ones that issue a prior approval (a requirement that should be illegal too), and then once they see the bill reverse their approval decision. That should not just be illegal but should result in the CEO going to jail for life.

Is the one power bank per person limit a Southwest thing, or is that now common to all airlines?

Amusingly, while I can only carry one power bank, I am allowed up to 20 spare batteries for my camera.

Flight booked for Portland on Thursday to collect the car & drive it back. Currently in Newberg, OR, just over 600 miles away.

Then I’m going to have to work out how to deal with DMV.

I must be crazy, but I bought a new car... well, not really a car, but a new vehicle.

Need to decide what to do with the Taycan (leaning towards keeping it for the moment).

Why are car dealers so hard to deal with... Interested in a car, been listed on their web page for a little while, so I ask for info. We missed each other yesterday, but today he calls me and amazingly the car is going to be picked up to go to auction in an hour or so if I don't get them a deposit soon. Do they really think I'm going to believe that?

He’s not building a ballroom. He’s building a fortified palace he can hide in when he starts a civil war. He clearly has no intention of leaving the White House before he dies.

There is a bridge on the way into Walnut Creek here that during 2024 was all pro-convict slogans. For the last few months it has had strongly anti-convict messages. The bridge has clearly turned against him.

Spent the weekend at an ultimate frisbee tournament in Fresno, early starts and I never looked at my email. This morning is a nightmare!

Sports commentators really do say stupid things… watching college softball & the woman commentating the game just told us that the pitcher “has been in this situation before, with a runner on 1st” - a division 1 college pitcher would have to be pretty damn amazing to have never had a runner on 1st before in her career (or terrible, so she gives up doubles or better on every hit, but then she’d never make it to D1)

Replying to @DaveRussell@stranger.social
@DaveRussell @heidilifeldman The list is much, much longer than that… pretty much every cabinet member, his horrendous press secretary with her oversized cross to hide behind while she lies to the world, and plenty of others. Then there are the ones just below that layer, the ones in charge of ICE, the FBI etc. And all the ICE agents who broke laws. They all need to face consequences for their actions (and “following orders” is no excuse).

@NorcalGma2 Thanks, I've been looking for local options (there are a couple very local, but with mixed reviews). Also one that seems larger which has mostly good reviews but appears more of a large company with operations statewide.

Replying to @Migueldeicaza@mastodon.social
@Migueldeicaza@mastodon.social @newsguyusa@flipboard.social It’s going to cost a fortune to remove his name from everything he’s illegally plastered it on. His companies and his family need to foot the bill for all of that (and the companies need to be dissolved as well when we’re done). His name needs to be so toxic it only appears in history books as a warning to future generations about letting narcissistic criminals into positions of power.

@NorcalGma2 Who do you use for grooming? I've been looking at options for here in Alameda, but not sure which of the many would work best!

@labria @holdenweb Yeah, but a $5000 box that can run the models locally and has no limit on tokens is probably even cheaper 😟

@cabel We are the odd generation that seems to be stuck between parents who need help with technology and kids who need help with technology. What happens once we're all gone? 🤣

@computer@facts.computer So, hand crafted assembler only? Modern compilers and interpreters couldn’t be used - too much optimization rearranging the code for it to be considered produced by human hands.

@Drwave@mastodon.social I’m still amazed at what I managed to achieve with just 32 KB of RAM… and 100 KB floppy discs to store programs and data on. The first hard drives I remember using at school were huge & held, if my memory serves me, just 5 MB - and that seemed like a lot at the time. We’ve come a very long way in the space of just a few decades.
