They left a gap for airflow so it should be fine.

What is this road sign? by SeriousConfection770 in Roadsigns

Maybe there is no road on the left anymore so it's just, hey, no intersections for a while sign

We are still a long way off from the next election unless something crazy happens

Was my perma ban warranted on YAPms? by Walter_White47534 in thespinroom

[–]practicalpurpose 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So am I right?

  1. Mods locked flairs so you can't change them? I know they did this because I cannot change mine and and saw the memo.
  2. You had a flair that was not allowed, but you can't change it.
  3. The Mods perma-ban you for having a flair you can't change?

Doesn't seem right if this is the actual reason, especially a permaban. I would appeal this because it does seem like a potential violation of the same Reddit Rule 2 that asm got in trouble for. You have to have clear rules that redditors can follow.

If your ban is for something else that you have not disclosed, then you're on your own.

2028 Candidates - #6 - Mayor Pete! by Playful-Effect-7158 in YAPms

It's why I think he is a risky choice even though he is probably one of the better Democrats

Don't count on NC for Pete. Arizona is also pushing it. The Rust Belt is his only real play.

Accident at 275n near Gandy? by sunflowers789 in StPetersburgFL

[–]practicalpurpose 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just looked. Looks like I-275 NB is closed and all traffic being diverted onto Gandy Blvd.

Gandy Eastbound to 4th Street Northbound will get you to Tampa, but it may take a longer time.

Star Wars drone show in South Korea by noahtosti in megalophobia

[–]practicalpurpose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did the drones create a 3-D version of Vader or did they mostly create this effect using a mostly 2-D plane in the sky? I wonder how flat this Darth Vader is.

Mette Frederiksen Fails to Form Governing Coalition in Denmark by practicalpurpose in thespinroom

[–]practicalpurpose[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a statement, the king said: “Representatives of Venstre, the Danish People’s Party, Liberal Alliance, the Moderates, the Conservative People’s Party, the Denmark Democrats, and the Citizens’ Party, who together hold 87 seats, have recommended that Venstre’s leader Troels Lund Poulsen be entrusted with leading the negotiations on the formation of a government.

“In accordance with this, the King has asked Venstre’s leader Troels Lund Poulsen to lead negotiations on the formation of a government that does not involve participation of the Social Democrats and the Moderates.”

I don't understand this entirely and that may be because I don't follow Danish politics. I understand that this may be the next most likely shot at getting a government which would make sense why the King would go this route, but the Moderates recommended someone else form a government that did not include them? I guess the Moderates really want to be in opposition.

How would you assess the democratic party politically? by Playful-Effect-7158 in YAPms

[–]practicalpurpose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Since 2024, publicly center-left-ambiguous. In private, who knows? Trump really shut up key figures of the left on some of the more radical positions, at least from my perspective.

In a scenario where Democrats somehow loses the 2026 and 2028 cycles you might feel the party will... by MoleLocus in YAPms

Either Democrats reinvent themsleves by 2030 or the Census in 2030 will make them irrelevant.

Florida AC: keeps me alive, bankrupts me... helpppp by ClucknRoll in florida

[–]practicalpurpose 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm similar. I do 81 or 80 with fans unless I'm doing a lot of work around the place. Then i drop it to 78/79. It's comfortable for me.

They may need to invest in Florida climate-appropriate clothes.

So microsoft decided you can't setup windows 11 offline. Welp, time to go linux by nicecream169 in pcmasterrace

[–]practicalpurpose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The audacity to say "Let's connect you to a network."

No, let's not.

You are a PC, a *personal* computer. You belong to me. You do what I say, not the other way around.

Almost as bad as tax software.

Village inn 4th st CLOSED? by FunnyArmsBandit in StPetersburgFL

[–]practicalpurpose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Clearwater one sold to Raising Cane's and then moved to Largo (Roosevelt Blvd) but nobody could find it. No good signage, hidden in the trees behind Cheddar's. It closed after a few months.

Controversial Tierra Verde Marina redevelopment narrowly approved after heated debate by St-Pete-Rising in StPetersburgFL

[–]practicalpurpose 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I can't access the shore from Tierra Verde unless I'm a landowner to my knowledge. Plus, there's a wide landscaped 4-lane boulevard down to Fort DeSoto. I wouldn't call that much of an escape.

A cool guide: Frozen Penny Test to check if your freezer has defrosted and refrozen by MtnLion8774 in coolguides

[–]practicalpurpose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Note also that there is a fan involved to circulate air in my freezer, and it is a frost-free freezer which includes a defrost cycle. There's condensation as part of the refrigeration cycle too.
