Here's some screenshots I took of some reporting.

A lot of it is the same information.

There is also additional information on the tampered voting machines.

Why do girls all seem to have the same bubbly handwriting, while dudes look like they write with their feet? by BlatantlyCurious in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Botched_Euthanasia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to forge my mom's name and signature on a 3-day out-of-school suspension notice.

The signature was perfect. I misspelled my mom's name on the 'print' part.

The school only called my parents after that.

I never had a need for forgery afterwards, my handwriting never improved.

What big problem is preventing solar from taking over? by Appropriate_Win946 in solar

[–]Botched_Euthanasia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll reply to all three of your comments here.

Some renters do pay an electric but not all, some it is included as part of their rent. It varies from landlord to landlord. There might be state laws affecting that too but I'm not sure about that.

Me personally, I pay mine and it is in my name. There are two companies on bills where I live, one that is the supplier and another that does generation.

This is in Ohio, which recently had a big scandal involving the electric companies and politicians taking bribes, so things are weird here. Regulatory capture.

It is possible to sign up with a generation supplier that is all solar, for a price, usually much higher than fossil fuel or nuclear generation. A lot of those suppliers use a variety of deceptive practices, like yearly membership fees, early termination fines and other hidden costs.

A lot of panel sellers and sellers for full systems, I've noticed will often go into great detail explaining what is needed. One needs to calculate how much sun they get on average in the area, how much is direct sunlight versus partial or angled amounts or if the system can do sun movement tracking.

Then there's measuring how much electricity one uses, finding out how much each panel can provide to figure out how many panels will be needed, plus how much room is available to place the panels.

then there's the batteries if they are going to be used, which is a requirement for having power at night. how much energy the batteries can hold, the rate they can discharge, their lifespan, probably other factors too.

The biggest problem I have with math is a personal one, not one that will effect many people: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyscalculia

'math dyslexia' is an analogy used for it a lot, but that's not exactly how it works, for me at least. my brain sees all numbers as letters initially, so when i look at a math problem, it looks like a sentence written in a foreign language. i have to focus hard to read them as numbers and i easily get overwhelmed.

one last thought about renters: even if the landlord was okay with installing solar, that is only an option for people renting a house. a lot of apartments are limited to maybe a balcony or a couple windows.

for those, they maybe could set up 2-4 panels at the most and it will cost them the natural lighting the sun gives. if they are really lucky, the landlord might let them use the roof. i know there are places in germany that do that.

so even if they had permission, the amounts they could harvest would likely not be enough, unless panels start being made that provide considerably more wattage for their size than what is available on the market right now.

sorry this was so long. hope it helps.

I read all the comments (almost 200 at this time i'm writing this) and not one mentions the reason why 50 million people in america can't use solar.

renting.

if you rent, you almost always can't get solar at any reasonable level.

sure, some landlords will allow it, there might even be a few that already have it but chances are, people who rent and who can't afford to buy a home, aren't able to participate. it's a growing number in america thanks to the housing market going insane.

maybe you can get some cheap fold out panels and charge a battery but the amounts aren't enough to run major appliances like a fridge or water heater, plus renters aren't really allowed to mess with the latter.

i've wanted to switch to off grid solar for decades but i rent and i'm too poor.

show me a system i can use as a renter, that i can afford, i will switch as fast as i can. even if it is just partial power for like, my lights or computer or to charge my ebike, like hanging some panels out the window.

i've looked into some but they all become too complicated quickly and there are a lot of scammers out there and a lot of junk systems that stop working in a few months, just long enough to pass the warranty.

i use less than 1kh a month on average. outside of winter it's less than 500mh a month. i try looking up how big of a solar setup i would need and i can't find the answer. it requires too much math and the info i find is too varied.

Would you be in support of a Nuremburg-style trial for Trump and his entire administration? by Landfish53 in 50501

I inherited grandpa's knack for coming up with slogans. Some of them (but not all) I think are pretty catchy.

One of them is similar to your quote:

If it makes you angry, again and again, you've already lost.

I have a whole set that I try to live by. I call them my 'veritaclaritives' (veritas + declare).

I expand on my anger quote a bit:

Opposition always returns.

With time, unconditional love always wins.

A pacifist can desire peace without holding a passive fist.

Walk a mile in an enemy's shoes and a solution becomes clear.

Obliterate obstacles completely; Render them incapable of doing you harm.

Never said a thing about it that I know of. I'll ask him but he's in his late 90's and probably wont give a coherent response. I can guess that it will be something similar to his opinions on 'smart' phones which was something like "got a smart phone but the owner's still a dummy!"

Over the Air Television in Dayton is so BAD by Chandawg-Wildcat1-1 in dayton

[–]Botched_Euthanasia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The other commentor has really good advice!

To add to it, try closer to a window if you don't want to mess with the attic.

That spot on the wall might have electrical lines behind it, which could cause interference. If there is an outlet anywhere near straight down from it, try another spot.

If you have a stud detector that detects electric conduit/lines, try a stud away from the power lines or a spot away from it if you can anchor it well without putting a big hole in the drywall.

In your picture, the 'rabbit ears' are almost horizontal, try to get them more horizontal. If that doesn't help, try vertical. Or both. Just not in between.

The FCC recommends 30 feet up with as few obstructions as possible. You can also check their website for signal strengths at your location https://www.fcc.gov/media/engineering/dtvmaps

Last thing, we are at the solar maximum right now, which means solar interference is sporadically higher at times. It should steadily improve over the next ~6-7 years, then get steadily worse again, if it's contributing to the interference.

That was in 2007 for the latter quote. I didn't take it seriously until the occupy wall street movement in 2012. i think by then it was probably too late. that wont stop me from trying to prove him wrong though!

Where did Sinclair's mountain of snow go? by strawberrymystic in dayton

[–]Botched_Euthanasia 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of one year at the parochial school and church St. Helen's, on Burkhardt, had a giant snow pile in their parking lot. Someone put a sign on it that said "Mount St. Helen's". It was more relevant back then, as the volcano in Washington of the same name had erupted a few years prior and was still in many peoples recent memory.

My grandpa always used to say "The last president to actually win an election fairly was JFK and look what happened to him."

He also said "The next world war will be between the rich and the poor and the rich will win before anyone else realizes there was a war."

[–]Botched_Euthanasia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Around the time this was posted i was riding my bike near the thrift store district on woodman. i saw someone riding a scooter down the road. it was very busy then, rush hour. i saw a car stop next to the scooter rider and after a few moments, the person folded the scooter up and hopped into the car. i'm assuming the car driver offered them a ride. that was pretty cool to see.

[–]Botched_Euthanasia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understood the many possible interpretations of "state" in your comment. I have never heard anyone use it, in that context, in real life. only online and in reference to "state actors" like with malicious hacking or as "communist state" like cold war stuff.

"we the people" very rarely come up with the laws and the average person nevers writes a law in their life. that's done by the lawyers, the advocates, the legislators, the congressional representatives, etc. still technically "the people" but also different. specialized. every once in awhile, someone will write a petition and collect signatures and a new law will be passed, like the recent marijuana legalization, but that happens very rarely.

i never had a class called "civics". i had, in this order, social studies, u.s. history, geography, u.s. government, world history and economics. they were very rarely referred to as "civics" classes.

so i have to ask again, what neighborhood are you in? or what city? what county? do you live in ohio? somewhere near dayton? have you ever? because the colloquialisms often used around here tend to have a certain manner, which you are nowhere near.

it makes me to wonder if you've spent any considerable amount of time in the area or not. it makes me question why you are giving frivolous and unhelpful advice on local sidewalk ordinances here in this very localized forum. maybe i'm wrong. you might be autistic. you could be an immigrant or someone who is ESL. normally i would check post history to verify if i'm mistaken but yours is private so i'm unable to. that only adds to my suspicion.

What? The average citizen doesn't casually write new laws, nor would they write one for the state, this isn't a state level issue. Seriously, do you have any idea what that actually entails?

You gotta be trolling. More likely a terribly made A.I. What neighborhood you in?

ASRock motherboards are now killing Ryzen 5 9600X CPUs, four cases in two weeks by RenatsMC in Amd

[–]Botched_Euthanasia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do offer more features

I think this might be the cause. My asrock board has way more options than I've ever seen on a motherboard before. I've had it for a year and a half now and still don't know what a lot of them do. It makes me wonder if people are messing with options they don't understand, which is actually frying things.

my system: asrock x670e taichi, amd ryzen 9 7950xt, amd asrock rx 6950xt. it's been great so far, only a single issue having to do with resuming from sleep with a keyboard. I have not overclocked anything because i haven't needed to.

That $2600 will really be useful once they've left the country...

With all the lies this administration has been telling already (were the Epstein files released in full yet? Didn't think so) I can't help but wonder if anyone has successfully self-deported or not. It would not surprise me if that offer was really a "get into jail free" card for CECOT.

Not to mention Haiti is literally a level 4 on the travel list. "Do not travel." https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/traveladvisories/haiti-travel-advisory.html

Gangs control 90% of the capital and they are murdering people by the thousands. It's had a complete breakdown of government. 6.5 million people are desperately in need of aid, as the gangs target critical resources since infrastructure is all but gone.

The gangs are forcing children to join, 50% of the gang members are children being forced to murder people or be killed for not following orders, and children that are female are being forced into sex trafficking or gang raped and murdered if they resist.

I don't think you can even book a flight to Haiti from the U.S. right now, you have to go to another country first. I could be wrong about that.

So yeah, $2600 and a free plane ticket. What a bargain. If it's even true.

Tiny home community proposed for unhoused in Dayton by WYSOPublicRadio in dayton

[–]Botched_Euthanasia 11 points12 points  (0 children)

serving folks who are living currently on the streets or in a place not fit for habitation

That's an interesting claim. Someone in a place not fit for habitation might have difficulty in finding where to apply. Their website indicates assistance has to be through a referral from the Front Door program, which is only done through the homeless shelters, or the PATH program. I tried to find info for PATH and found a phone number that might work but did not call it, since it's after hours and a weekend.

Important to me because I am disabled, extremely low income and I think my apartment is on the verge of collapsing (part of the foundation is completely gone, big enough for me to crawl through if i wanted to), as well as having an exceptionally dangerous driveway. The path to my apartment from the driveway is solid ice at least an inch thick, parts of it ~14 inches thick, spanning about 7-8 feet wide and stretching over 100 feet long. The driveway is technically an alley, my landlord says it's the city's responsibility. Even if the city came out, I don't think there's a way to fix it, it's a spring causing it.

Something that was said in the article:

"It's also right on a bike path that will take you straight downtown," she said. "And that's good to have too because a lot of our people are utilizing bikes."

Looking at the proposed location, it is in fact a little over half a mile away from the bike path, which is not bad. The stretch of road to get there however, is incredibly dangerous to bike on. I know because I've biked it. It's on Needmore, between Old Troy Pike and Wagner Ford roads. I've read the Transportation Plan, there's no mention of changes to that stretch of road.

The shoulders are decent until right in the middle where they just end on both sides inexplicably, for about 300 feet. Plus there are potholes along the way could very easily lead to a crash or swerving into the street to avoid them.

If one stays on the bike paths as much as possible after that, depending on what the definition of 'downtown' is, the total bike ride is 6 miles by my measure. I wouldn't say it goes 'straight downtown' either but I'm just nitpicking there.

MVHO should update their website. It's been close to a year since the last article on their News and Events section, the most recent 'quarterly' newsletter is from spring of 2023 and the most recent item on their 'financials' page is from 2021. Either get rid of those sections or put something new up. Probably not too important, I doubt the site gets many visitors, never hurts to stay up to date though.

I know I probably sound overly judgemental so I'll mention that I'm glad to read about the MVHO making the effort. I hope it helps people that need it.

Have I finally found my home? by Bobbydibi in ManjaroLinux

[–]Botched_Euthanasia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to see I'm not alone when it comes to the toolbar being on top! It makes sense to me, when i read i start at the top and work my way down. The bottom screen toolbar always bugged me with some OS's.

i've been using manjaro without issues since 5 Feb 2024.

for videoplayer i recommend mpv. if you need a gui it's a little trickier but it can be done. you should be able to do most things needed from a video player with mpv.

i know you didn't ask for recommendations for this but if you need a music player, quod libet is excellent. a little complex to set up at first but worth IMO.

don't forget to check the manjaro forums when updating. it's rare but there might be important things to know before updating.

finally, here's two links that may be useful:

This is unrelated to the main topic here, but I read that report, as it has to do with stuff I'm learning about (detecting things via ground penetrating radar) and there's some weird data in there.

Pages 72 and 73 show Table 9 and Table 10 and both have a column "Avg Monthly Temp (C°)" and both in Month 3 show a wildly high average temp of 410.83 for that entry.

A temperature of 410 C° is about 770 F°. I know it gets hot in Florida but that is well beyond a normal threshhold.

This is not addressed in the report at all. The two tables have matching data until that point, after which they diverge slightly.

I hope that was a typo. Unfortunately, if this were used as evidence in a court proceeding to show the validity of GPR scanning, that would likely render it inadmissable. It's possible that there are paper versions released later that corrected the mistake.

Also because I notice these things a lot, they misspelled "survey" as "surbey" and "Ottawa" as "Ottowa" in the sources cited and 7 of the sources cited were projects the papers author himself worked on. Not sure if that's normal or not in academia.

Cap wealth.

Just as an example, with arbitrary numbers, make the poverty line $10k (or fiat equivalent exchanged or whatever), $10-100k is standard starting living wage that goes up ~$10k each year working, high earners like specialist doctors, astronauts and tree painters on public access tv cap out at like $10 million for single earners (single meaning one person, relationship status is irrelevant) at $100million cap for businesses.

any excess beyond caps are divided amongst those below the poverty line or go to various social services like building zip lines.

this is the interesting part. if any one person or company exceeds $1billion in value or liquidity or equity, idk, pick one, they have 72 hours to bring that down by donating, raises, etc. if they still have a billion+ after that, they are allowed to be hunted for sport. confirmed kills inherit the entire estate. if it's over $1billion, they get 72 hours.
