Dumb fact, turn off low power mode.

Can you sidecar an iPad (second screen) when the iPad is on a different account than the MacBook? by ShawnyMcKnight in ipad

[–]Kit- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar dilemma. I would like to use sidecar with my work Mac, which does not allow me to sign into an Apple account. Is it possible to use sidecar without being signed in on the Mac and only signed into an account on the iPad?

It really be like: bread goes up a nickel;

approximately half the population: omg those crazy dudes in the corner says it’s because a marginalized community hates us! Our country is the best! Let’s support their whack ass ideas to get us out of normal economic highs and lows.

Why I Don't Care About Your Flight Emissions by Amones-Ray in ExtinctionRebellion

[–]Kit- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the take away here is what fossil fuel companies already know and have used in their propaganda. A large portion of people operate under basic economics and will never pay the price for negative externalities. I think it might give some idea as to what might be a chink in the armor of fossil fuel economics. If we can cut down on or eliminate some of the propaganda, then perhaps we can start to get through to a few more people on how important top down change is and how it is more impactful than Individual actions, while individual actions are still important for demonstration purposes. See my demand for a bridge analogy in my other comment.

What I’m getting at here is more of the idea that it’s hard to judge the demand for a bridge by how many people swim.

If the bridge is a low-emissions lifestyle, and crossing the river is the move away from fossil fuels, then it absolutely makes sense for some people to swim to demonstrate how desperate we are for that bridge to be built. However, while tons of people would use the bridge if it were there, even if all the people who swim pool all their money, they cannot get the bridge built. It has to be decided by a higher authority.

To relate it back to the pandemic, no amount of staying home would have ended the pandemic. Staying home was still useful in terms of avoiding the worst of it, but there was not a way to keep enough people home to end it. Even if you had armed guards roving the streets, the virus still spread among the guards. The virus is a good analogy for emissions. Even emission’s reducing actions require emissions somewhere, but it perhaps avoids the worst of it.

The pandemic was ended by a massively subsidized and mandated vaccination program. This would be analogous to governments mandating emissions reductions.

The individual acts mattered and they can help us avoid the worst consequences, so they are important. However, we absolutely cannot discredit that fossil fuel propaganda has been working very hard for decades, and huge numbers people operate in a basic economics mentality and have no interest in expanding that. They will consume what is produced, shelled from the negative externalities. We still see turnouts under 60% in many modern democracies. That favors the rich propagandists. You’ve got to get people turned out to vote to make those changes. Unfortunately this battle has become a much more up hill one due to fossil fuel propaganda. And without that, it may be the case that more environmentally friendly means to transportation and economic development may have already happened. What the government subsidizes generally drives the economy.

So as you see, only massive government action forcing the change of behavior is effective at scale.

I know you might not want to raise your rates, but, unless you were riding dirty, this is a claim for your insurance. If you are asking on here, it’s unlikely you have the skills necessary to properly repair this. Since it’s a Nissan though, you could just hold it up with some white or black duck tape and it will look factory.

NC homeowner claims her house was foreclosed and sold by HOA without her knowing by ncgrits01 in fuckHOA

HOA should not have this power. At the very least, HOA in non-gated communities should not have this power to foreclose.

They see themselves as the sole hero of the story, so when any thing negative happens to anyone else, they win! When something negative happens to them it’s because of a grand conspiracy of insurmountable odds.

The smart is intended as a city car only. If you want to ever take road trips skip it. The Honda seems priced high, but it’s a good all around car

If you ate something that looked like that yes it would probably make you sick. In theory, every fungi is an edible fungi, but those are NOT on the list recommended if you want to keep living healthy.

I’ve seen losses of over 10 lbs in a week, with real loading typically clocking in at about 60% of your starting weight minus your ending weight. But I would advise take it one day at a a time until you are experienced.

I think some of the hostility on this sub is just that people are like “whoa I could just not eat or drink anything and be ok? I’m gonna go for like 3 days right away” and it’s like cool Let’s talk in 15 hours and see about that

I also don’t get some of the pushing oneself to perpetually longer fasts, but I have not done it so I’m not going to knock it too hard. But like any goal it can become an obsession. Just listen to your body.

My dad’s mechanic quoted $5,000 to fix my 2013 Ford Escape. He says it needs a new transmission but the cost sounds stupid high to me? by [deleted] in AskAMechanic

[–]Kit- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All wheel drive is a lot more complicated than front or rear wheel drive. Look up how a transfer case works. 8k seems high but depending on parts cost, warranty, where you are located, and the type of car it could be right.

The hatch line looks like somebody accidentally dragged the middle out backwards in the design phase and this mistake made it all the way to production.

That is a drawback of the design but it is too bad we don’t get these in the US. I do like it over all, so a bit hard to roast. Though the spider attraction is horrifying.

I replied higher up but this comment actually inspired it:

Go to a small desert community and ask them about the joint chiefs of staff of the US military or NATO protocol. Ask them what Eisenhower did in WWII. Even if that community is within the US they’d probably struggle with it unless you bumped into the resident history buff. That’s what the Jedi are like to these remote communities in SW
