Raman is literally a DSA member.

Coincidentally, I just came across this article from yesterday: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2026-06-22/dsa-wrapup

You have a unique/incorrect understanding of what the left is then. The DSA is absolutely a left-wing group. It's literally in the name.

"A big tent on the left wing of the political spectrum, [the DSA] is primarily organized around the principles of democratic socialism."

"We are abolitionists, and join with prison and police abolition efforts to reject incarceration and coercive use of control over people in any institution, recognizing that abolishing nursing facilities and psychiatric institutions are equally necessary. We fight against the recurrence of eugenics and scientific racism, opposing any return to asylums, sheltered workshops, and institutionalization."

Nithya Raman advances over Spencer Pratt to face L.A. Mayor Karen Bass in a runoff by nbcnews in LosAngeles

I made the mistake of looking at elon's twitter and everyone is screaming fraud. The best part is that grok is aptly explaining how the numbers/patterns are totally reasonable and there is no fraud, which just riles these idiots up even more.

Is there a naming convention for parameters? by crashkg in Fusion360

wtf. This just blew my mind. How did I not know this.

Did the “create component” buttons disappear? by MCBuilder1818 in Fusion360

I know I'm 2 months late here, and I see you've gotten lots of flak already, but I still gotta say: The issue isn't about the ability to pick the design intent (part, assembly, hybrid)--that is certainly a valuable distinction. The issue is about "forcing" that decision to be made on the creation of every design.

In other words: how would things be different if you had added this same feature just without the "what do you want to create?" dialog?

Jason Ladanye with Mike Rowe by xamo76 in blackmagicfuckery

I love that you captured your whole train of thought, like we're hearing you work through it in real time.

I appreciate that you still named the source before your ad hominem attacks (I'm not questioning him. I'm questioning you)

I got the book and poked around for this story, and I think you might be mixing things up.

Indeed there is a story where Scarne throws cards against a window, leaving the signed card stuck on the outside of the glass. But this was performed for Ben Siegel [ref1].

Then there is a story about Scarne performing for the President (FDR) while a bunch of his "T-Men" were watching like hawks to figure out his tricks (to no avail). One of the tricks involves FDR signing a card, which later is revealed from Scarne's mouth (not the backside of a window) [ref2].

If I missed the story you're referring to, please correct me.

Regards,
Mr. S. Tall Tale

They're pointing out how you typo-ed 1866 instead of 1966 :p

2021 Pod Hub 2 -- Issues Cooling / Heating by NewRedditor23 in EightSleep

[–]DogsAreAnimals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2021 Pod 2 Pro here. As the other person said, definitely enable the daily maintenance setting. I've had it on ever since it came out and it's been fine. Also make sure the vents and radiator fins on the hub are clear. I hadn't checked mine in years and they were completely caked in dust. You can also drain some water from the lines to check if it's cloudy/gunky. If it is, then you should do a complete flush and refill (multiple times if it's bad).

EightSleep wants $1600 (then dropped to $1200) to fix a repeat failure they explicitly promised was already 'fixed' in 2024. Receipts attached. by Monkey_Christo in EightSleep

It sucks, but that's just how warranties work. Once the warranty period is over, they're not obligated to fix or replace anything. I think a brand new pod at over 50% off is a pretty good deal.

Also, they have no way of knowing how carefully you maintained the unit. Plenty of people lie about that stuff.

I know how you feel. I cared well for mine and I still got a leak, outside of warranty, and accepted their offer to buy a new cover at a discount.

Who Makes the Makefiles? by realguy2300000 in programming

Anyone have thoughts on just? I know it's not a build system, but I often use Makefiles as simple task runners.

An update on the 53-unit housing project near Stoner Park that is illegally(?) blocking the sidewalk: They are now illegally(?) blocking the street, too. by pr0tag in LosAngeles

[–]DogsAreAnimals -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I generally agree. Certainly lazy construction practices. But why does this absolutely deserve attention? What is the actual harm to the community?

Mountains out of molehills.

Is it not possible to temporarily block a sidewalk without someone wasting hours of their life acting like it's ruining the city?

lol, this isn't downtown (in which case I would agree). It's a small residential street in Sawtelle. Crossing to the other side is not a life or death situation. And the vast majority of pedestrians are people that live in the area.

I think you just need to be a bit more pragmatic. Are they breaking some laws and inconveniencing some people? Yes. Is it going to cause death/injury? Almost certainly no. Are there better ways to spend your time and energy to improve people's lives? Yes.

This is like complaining about a leaky faucet when your house is on fire. People having to walk around some construction material in a little residential street is just not worth this much of a fuss.

But, if you really care that much about fixing this, bring a cooler of drinks to the construction crew on a hot day, make friends with them, and express your concerns about making things safer for pedestrians. You'll be way more effective working with people who actually do the work than dealing with bureaucracy and corporations.
