I agree, TM is crap but it sure looks like she’s just feeding the problem and complaining about it.

If she’s just about the money, fine, but to try to play the ethics card while raking it in…. is gross.

I agree with her sentiment but she chose to use ticketmaster. WTH did she expect?

It sure looks hypocritical to me to voluntarily use them and then complain about it. Put your money where your mouth is, etc etc.

Basically don’t shop for anything noncritical from yesterday until 02 Dec (Tuesday).

And try not to use credit cards for anything you do have to purchase.
(I think debit cards are ok)

I’m kinda wondering if that’s their primary intention even if these scumbags are probably pleased with such an outcome.

Maybe they sorted the list of degrees by repayment rate and labeled all the ones below a certain rate as ‘unprofessional’. Since women are still getting paid significantly less than men for the exact same work, they may have lower repayment rates which would show up like you’ve shown.

To be clear, either way, fuck these clowns.

I feel that part of the reason is the lack of any kind of 3rd-space. And that’s what churches are for some people. (I’m also not religious)

I’ve tried to find others that would want to open up a community makerspace but have had no luck.

“Trump says…” - there’s nothing that could follow those words that I’d believe.

The only Canadian wines I’ve ever had was when stopping at vineyards on the way to Toronto. They were quite nice.

Just because the chart missed the obvious comparison to more common countries that the US imports wine from…

2023 COUNTRY IMPORT VALUE (IN MILLION USD)

France 922.8

Italy 744.3

Germany 160.4

Spain 119.6

New Zealand 171

edit: list is acting weird

I’m clueless and would like to hear from someone knowledgeable.

We had a melon vine looking like that last year and it never recovered. Is this kind of thing always fatal or was there something that could be done to save it?

Off topic… I can’t help but note that Cool Britannia was the best Ben and Jerry’s ice cream flavor ever. :-)

That’s encouraging. I’m not expecting much. It would be nice just to get a couple of people checking in every once in a while. Or at least the occasional repeat passerby here in the sticks of western NY.

Yep, I’ll add lightning protection to the setup. Good idea.

One year later…

I’m in the same boat. Did you have any luck?

Love the mounting method btw. I’m gonna copy it. :-)

So if you don’t lie to make the numbers look good, you’re fired.

Just great. And to think I was skeptical of the government’s economic reporting before this bs.

Even two years on this one still hits hard.

Damnit.

Yeah, I don’t get the “trumpf will fire Powell” thing. He has no authority over the Fed, right?

Yes, I get he can apply pressure indirectly, but that’s not the same as having the power to fire anyone at the Fed. So this sounds like the media trying to grant trump the appearance of more authority than he has, which is a bad thing.

I’m hopeful Powell will stick out his term and continue to do make the best decisions he can.

Fewer? Locally, friends have been commenting in the past week or so how nice it has been that there are so many more this year. (Western NY) And more bees, ticks, and mosquitos.

I get that we’re in a massive crash but at the moment, locally, there seems to be at least a momentary uptick.

Sounds good to me!

NY was the eleventh state in the US. We’d become the eleventh province of Canada, nice!

This is definitely worrisome.

But is it the end of the Constitution quite yet?

The Supreme Court hasn’t weighed in on the executive order trying to negate birthright citizenship, they said that lower courts couldn’t block EO’s at a national level.

Implicitly, their not commenting on the EO feels like they’ll let it stand when the case arrives, if they choose to hear it. Then I’d say the US Constitution is toast.

I’m an engineer, not a lawyer. I’d love to hear what someone more knowledgeable about this thinks.

Let’s try again.

Think carefully, surely you can see that two and two is five.

Don’t you agree?

Huh, well never thought I’d agree with this nutcase but that would be a good move.

What’s the catch?

Mastodon but not nearly as much as Lemmy.

Bookwyrm but not nearly as much as Mastodon.

I really wanted Bookwyrm to be more useful for me. But it’s really not geared towards what I want in keeping track of books. ymmv
