Both are meh compared to home. Dough is flour water yeast. Touch of corn meal for roll out. Add time. That’s it. Cheap and easy.

Reclaim the Pizza Hut crust of 30 years ago by preheating a #8 or larger iron skillet with oil in it, carefully dropping in your rolled out crust, making sure it has a nice edge, and building your pizza. And your crust won’t taste as sugary as subway bread.

You have money to spare, pizza oven for the thin crust.

Dominos is better these days if you have to choose.

No. Memmy + Apple. I can put up to 5 spaces between paragraphs and I’ll still get what looks like a 1.2 space between paragraphs every time.

Dealing with PC lemmy is work so I stick with the app on the phone.

Spaces between paragraphs don’t really show on Memmy and walls of text suck.

Whatever works, I’ll try it.

In the kids case, that’s a staffing issue. Most lockdown mental health facilities have a tech/CNA whose sole job it is to walk around and log the location and state of every patient every 9-15min, depending on policy. In addition to the techs/CNAs who herd everyone to group, meals, and all the rest. In addition to mental health staff that run the groups. In addition to nurses who do meds and assessments. In addition to “orderlies”, not big men in white like in movies, who tackle people these days, but people with intense training in deescalation.

.

In the elder case, that is often a staffing issue. If it’s day shift and you have more than 6 residents assigned to you, that’s a staffing and/or state level regulation issue. If it’s evening shift and you have more than 8 residents assigned to you, that’s a staffing and/or state regulation issue. But yes, declining mental health (dementia) and brain deterioration (Alzheimer’s) is part of elder care. Sometimes it’s the sole reason they’re placed in a home, because that decline in brain capacity requires 24h care.

.

A lot of health care jobs would be absolutely ok if they were actually safe for both patients and staff. But corporate greed often doesn’t allow for that.

Staffing matters. And it often will be ignored until the state mandates a law that requires the corporate owners to do better.

WIRE or Signal. Granted, convincing your people to move with you is like trying to get an act of Congress in play.

I think they’re shocked when people don’t believe the shit they’re trying to peddle. Trump more so because he thinks he’s the best salesman.

Signal or WIRE are the gold standards.

Facebook messenger records every word. Did a data request way back. More than a little creepy. Every word I ever typed was there. And yet that is what most people choose to use. Hauling your people over to a good text app, like Signal, takes a lot of effort and may not work at all in some cases.

It’s kinda like this. Say you lead the most boring, law abiding, square life, top 20% of the bell curve in that zone.

Would you want strangers in your house, even if they couldn’t technically touch or take anything? Would you want them in your spouse’s closet? Your kid’s room? Looking in your fridge?

Creepy and “hell no”, right?

That’s what privacy is about. The right to lock your door against strangers snooping.

It’s valid. I don’t check email unless I’m at work, fire me.

Just link off of the megathread if you have issues. As usual, subtitles are borked, but that’s it working as it usually does.

Working in corrections requires NDA signatures. You’re not going to get much.

Edit: referencing The States

Probably an intentional lead-in to EPA dismantle via the courts after Chevron was overturned by SCOTUS.

I recently had a conversation with a relative telling me they could not watch one of the recent Star Treks because they heard it was “woke”.

It’s Star Trek. It is ALWAYS woke. Star Trek (1966) was woke fifty years before “woke” was defined as a thing.

You can’t have Star Trek without “woke” because that’s what Star Trek is.

The real question is, where can I get that T-shirt?

Like the supply chain increases of 20-21 that haven’t gone away even though the supply chain is better now, I think we know the answer.

And yet, someone posted a management company letter over in r/Wisconsin where they said they were raising rents now to offset the 5% rent increase cap proposed by Harris Walz.

Even the thought of not even fixing it but easing the burden of it is triggering the overlords.

3 hrs is a lot. I think my top time was 30min. Still. It’s cheaper than therapy.

I can’t say that I see this a lot but I can tell you why I and others I’ve spoken to do it. I’ll leave you to ponder and extrapolate reasons.

.

It’s quiet.

.

No other humans are talking to or at you.

Quiet = bliss.

There’s a dive in over on r/Keep_Track that outlines Georgia. Wouldn’t count on a win there even if Kamala wins. They’re basically set up to not certify if Kamala wins. Some shenanigans in the SW as well.

Essentially, per Heather Cox Richardson, historian, if they fail to certify to the point of not reaching the magic 270, it can get kicked back to the states for a 1 vote per state via governors, which will swing Trump.

Don’t do the Roe thing. Don’t not believe because it’s unprecedented (it did happen once before in our history though) or simply because you don’t like the idea. I’m gonna pretend this isn’t happening even though it’s happening isn’t going to make things stop happening.

Mike Johnson led the surge to not certify back in 2020. He’s the speaker of the house now for a reason. The speaker is the lodestone on certification of the 2024 election, both new representatives and the president. He decides if they get certified or not.

Sure litigation can follow but in the meantime Trump is President. And then SCOTUS can seal the deal in their own corrupt way. Plus you know that guy is only leaving in a casket (of natural causes) if he ever gets in the White House again.

Feels paranoid just to type this but the news stories readily available out there do point to this.

Trump is damn quiet for Trump. Why? And why does the phrase “bloodless coup” keep coming up in far right circles?

People are already annoyed at base that they need any 2FA at all and don’t want to deal with more info. They just tune out.
