Oh god no. I'm wrong a whole bunch. Less than last year though. Much less than three years ago.

All of the time? Don't be daft.

Realists are simply people who, when they get things wrong, adjust their understanding of the world.

Optimists and pessimists just slip that second step.

It's more rare to find a pessimist than an optimist. To be a pessimist, you need to predict outcomes WORSE than reality.

Most people you think are pessimists are realists.

I believe that disunity among the left is the primary cause of suffering in the world. This IS the worst. This IS the cause.

I can't fix the fucknuts on the right. But I can hopefully fix us, and together we can fix the rest.

And if your claim is that he's doing the same with Bernie, I call bs because Bernie isn't on Lemmy to see the critique. Go post that shit on Twitter if you want to try and sway Bernie.

"Instant Pot Brands" (and others)

Noted. I have now stopped recommending these. It's a shame, the device itself is ok. But I'm sure there are alternatives.

Because the current intelligence says they're not close to one. Unless a report came out that I missed?

Cry at night.

That would imply that I care. I wouldn't recommend caring.

I'm here for the income, not the outcome. You want to pay me then disregard my advice? That's cool. Check still clears.

Your brain doesn't have real time traffic information.

Me: "you're bleeding profusely from the head"

Them:"I'm choosing to fix this hang nail instead of addressing an actual problem"

Me:"that's stupid. I think you don't really want to fix actual problems."

You:"whataboutism!!1!"

"I don't know how first past the post works"

Exactly. That's why you had to fill out all the KYC paperwork when you create your Bitcoin wallet.

Oh, you didn't?

Crypto is not hidden, but it can be anonymous. You can't hide that you got money from X account and spent it at Y account. But there's no name tied to the transaction.

 

Our town's water keeps failing to meet DEP standards, so I'm investing in a filtration system for our drinking water. What I think I'm looking for is:

  • Has a tank, since there are 5 of us
  • Filters out lead, PFAS, PFOA, etc. (Which is why I'm leaning towards RO)
  • Good warranty and customer service, for when something inevitably goes wrong
  • Remineralization (picky about water taste)
  • UV (maybe?)

Does anyone have recommendations for a quality brand, or one that they've had for years that they like? I'm not sure where to even start.

I bought a house a few months ago and I'm still trying to figure out all the wiring. I found these coming out of a cabinet in the kitchen.

I think (?) the black one is a cut-off coax cable. There's a LOT of coax in this house, so that seems straightforward (but I would still love if someone can confirm!)

I'm not sure about the other ones. They don't look electric, as I'd expect electric to be black + white + copper, like the rest of the house.

There is supposedly a speaker system in the house (I see speakers) but I haven't figured it out yet. Could that be power for the speakers? I'm not familiar with speaker wire setup. If it's speakers, why would there be so many wires?

 

I was reading about how the EU is thinking of reducing the lead used in ammunition because it's polluting the environment. I wonder if regular lead exposure at the firing range is addling people's brains.
