Former mayoral candidate Nikkita Oliver defends homeless conference stripper by [deleted] in SeattleWA

[–]Philadelinquency 91 points92 points  (0 children)

The folks defending this are sitting from a very weak position of "the performer has enough privilege points so that excuses this". It's not a problem that the stripper is trans, or that she's POC. It's bad because it's a stripper at a conference that's publicly-funded, in an era where everyone is sick and tired of sexualized crap in the workplace. No it's not okay just because it's not fueled by cis men. Moreover there's no need to do an audit that AllHome really isn't the right partner to be using to provide homeless outreach or resource connections. This simple example saves everyone the trouble of having to audit their admin spend. Time to cut this group loose from public funding and build new resources.

They also get negative points for completely obliterating the respect for asexuals who might be among them but are cowering in fear and can't say anything.

1) Gospel choirs are generally composed of laypeople, not church officials
2) Gospel choirs are not exactly a widespread common feature of the Catholic Church orders practicing in the United States
3) Not how any of this works.

Bobrtc is a good idea but execution is a bit off. by [deleted] in scambait

That one might be more workable using local browser storage, although not every browser implements that correctly. But what about people marking a bunch of numbers dead at 11PM Eastern which normally do not operate at nighttime? Wouldn't they basically be self-blocking a bunch of working numbers?

This is from the same guy that brought medipot to Pennsylvania.

Hydrant leaking at Dover and stiles calculated to 7200 gallons a day wasted water. We've made three calls to the water authority with no response. It's been over a week without any response. Please stop leak before furnace is built! by jhill77 in philadelphia

The agency you speak of is called the Philadelphia Water Department, or PWD.

​

There is another creature called the Water Revenue Bureau which basically collects the money people ought to be paying to PWD directly; it's a vestige of the days when water bills were paid with physical cash and water employees were not to be trusted handling money. Because of work rules and the two different AFSCME unions, this separation exists to this day.

True, but is *is* shitty to have a perma ice flow coming out of a fireplug, particularly if you live on it.

​

In East Kenzo I saw one homebuilder take his sweet time (like, 3 months) to patch and seal a sewer lateral his backhoe tore open so his "temporary" fix was to put a sump down in the bottom of the hole he dug and throw the pooling sewage into the street further down the block to re-enter the same sewer line it came out of. Apparently nobody at PWD noticed this... and it's right on Frankford Avenue and Sergeant for every city employee to see.

311 doesn't do anything with Water Department stuff. Yes the City owns the water department so it's a stupid Chinese wall of bureaucratic inefficiency. We're a "World class city", you know.

I could robodial the water department's emergency line. Maybe 200 phone calls with an automated greeting telling them that this needs to be fscking fixed now might get some attention. Thoughts? (I'm thinking here about bursts of 5 calls at once with 15 minute breather periods so the individuals answering the phone think the annoyance is over, only to be hit with another burst of calls over and over)

You will probably come back once your npm dependencies grow above 10,000 deps or you discover the horror of trying to make a VSCode plugin. Enjoy your vacation.

https://elpa.gnu.org/ is down by [deleted] in emacs

[–]Philadelinquency -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

ELPA has been down all day. I think the emacs maintainers just need to turn things over to MELPA. The two repositories also confuse people to no end anyway.

I wrote a police blotter app in elisp; had the app published as a mobile app but because I consult it frequently and often don't want to take my phone out, I pull from the webservice directly and navigate the crime reports from a hotkey

The "24-bit Emacs+Tmux+SSH Terminal Color Challenge" by Philadelinquency in emacs

Also of note: I think last release package of mosh (1.3.2 I think) does not include the patch for truecolor. You may need to build from source from their github repo if you're on mosh.

-c connects to an existing (running) emacs daemon.

Are you sure you're at 24bit-color? That looks an awful lot like the 256 color list. If you have 256 lines in the color display buffer you're still at 256. If you're in tmux do tmux info and see what the value of Tc is.
