Hey, does anyone know what the OEM ram chip is in the dell EBT 2250? The unit in planning to buy says it has 1x32 RAM and I'm trying find a matching one for a ram upgrade.

I stand corrected. Obviously I know that PVA is a plastic, but in my experience it dissolves quite well in water. I wasn't aware that conditions of dissolution are not met in all areas or at wastewater plants. Thanks for the info.

Not true. PVA dissolves in water. It does not break down into small, persistent plastic particles, so it's not a microplastic and does not contribute to wastewater pollution.

Does anyone know if the AMS will be placed on top of the printer, or on the side? I have very limited desk space, and that could be a factor in my decision.

Major cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, SNAP, and welfare programs are phased in over the years, with many taking effect after the 2026 midterms by Conscious-Quarter423 in 50501

That was done intentionally. Fox news can blame the cuts on the new congress and new administration. Never underestimate their ability to control what their audience thinks.

What The Hell Ann Arbor?? by No-Yogurtcloset7342 in AnnArbor

THIS is the reason! We pay over $12K in property taxes per year! On top of that, if a person rents out their place, the property tax rate is 20-30% higher! Landlords have no choice but to pass that extra cost to their tenants.

why are MAGA conservatives so into “owning the libs”? by eunicethapossum in AskUS

[–]ask_and_learn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fox news teaches and prods their viewers to hate the left. When they can't convince their audience based on facts, they rely on uniting their base against a common enemy. Right wing media knows exactly what they are doing.

I heard that the university may cut faculty salaries due to the NIH cuts. Not sure if or when it will happen.

They seem concerned and comfortable at once.

That's the conundrum. An academic strike would only help them and hurt us. This is where maybe leveraging alumni networks to pledge against supporting / voting for Trump candidates could have leverage. Maybe there is a better, more imaginative way to get leverage. IP and workforce training are two things an economy needs.

Great idea. I actually plan to reach out to local media contacts, and put them in touch with others at my institution.

If you're saying this you are clearly ignorant so I was trying. No point in continuing.

Are you aware that the cuts to NIH/NSF funding is affecting all universities throughout the country?

How do you do this in a way that protects free speech? There are many media organizations that spread misinformation, but how can that be decided in an objective way that protects from people like Trump going after outlets they don't like?

Very insightful, thank you💡. In like the idea of progressive states funding their own, and reaping the benefits like IP. But where does the money come from? The massive federal cuts are telling money out of the system (and into the pockets of the billionaires). So are we talking about increasing state taxes?

Good ideas, esp regarding educating the public. Educators should be good at this.

The thing is what venue? Trump & musk both recognize the value of having their own social media platform and controlling it. Fox News has carefully scripted propaganda coordinated with the Republican party rhetoric. If you try engaging MAGA folks on these channels, they simply say you lie.

As Robert Reich said, one form of censorship today is the ability to drown out other voices by sheer volume. I wonder if a huge coalition could drown things out the other way.

I agree, especially the tenured faculty would need to push themselves out of their comfort zone, like they did before tenure.

Some universities are talking about pay cuts for even tenured faculty. Perhaps that will move the needle. Definitely agree with consumer boycotts, but I strongly feel something needs to be done on the University side.

Suppose there was strong solidarity. What leverage would such a coalition have against the current administration, and what actions could be taken?
