When the rubber hits the road!

I wonder if this ever got posted to YouTubeClassics

I miss a lot of Reddit content, especially local and niche content. However, what I really miss is a proper app with which to consume said content.

Why are you closing the app when the file is in a bad state? Undo first… There’s so much to unpack here about the way you and your coworkers are using Word where you have so much chance of losing stuff.

In any case, I haven’t tried doing this, but usually there is an auto-save toggle so you can turn it off if it really doesn’t work for you.

I think I used connect for a bit and it didn’t stick for me.

And undo didn’t work?

How can it cause problems this often? It is the opposite for me - autosave saves my ass more often than not.

That’s a pretty cool little sim.

I used RiF (Reddit is Fun) in the before times. When that got shut down I switched to Lemmy and used Jerboa. I can’t remember why (maybe something broke) but I switched to Voyager and have been quite happy. I’ve found out “there’s an option for that” multiple times when there was a particular feature I didn’t like.

Fuck Spez

Fun fact: that’s why we call them icons.

They’re called ladybird, ladybird beatles, and lady beatles outside North America, and I think by entomologists in general.

She was the head of my class, if you know what I mean…

I rate this 4 🔑

I didn’t replace a light bulb rhat went out and it started working again a few days later.

Do some research about how the city water treatment works. Find out what the issues are. There may already be published studies about the water treatment and tap water quality. Or maybe your city just doesn’t have a good water source to begin with and they’re doing the best they can. Maybe the issue is specific to one area or even just your neighbourhood. Whatever you do, if you’re going to get involved make sure you educate yourself first, to avoid embarrassing yourself.

Write the mayor and city council about the issues, or go to town halls and present the issues to council.

If there isn’t a reasonable response, go to local social media, traditional media, write op eds, try to garner support from other like-minded people.

Go back to city council with more support behind you. March in the streets. With more people behind you, you might be able to get money for independent studies. Do petitions, and bring those to city Hall.

Rinse, repeat. Get more and more support until you have a big enough voice that the city council has to listen. At each repetition, your support should be growing. If it isn’t, you’re not successfully finding like-minded people - either because you’re doing it wrong or not enough people genuinely agree with you (which may mean you’ll never get change).

Ultimately you can run for council or mayor and do it yourself.

Also, check social media and media archives to see if anyone else has brought up the issue or similar issues. There might already be a grassroots group already working on it. Better to join them than to start from scratch.

One last thing: watch out for people with the more outlandish theories and behaviour (traditionally called “conspiracy nuts”, but I think that’s used too broadly, since sometimes there really is a conspiracy at play). They may try to glom onto you or may be the ones already actively doing stuff. They can take you down less-than-ideal paths. Keep yourself grounded in reality and facts.

Also, he has encouraged people in foreign countries to buy from anyone except the US, reducing US exports.

I don’t know why people are downvoting you. I stopped using my friend’s server when I realized he was watching everything we were doing. Really weirded me out.

OP just made an asp of himself.

I watched his video and I wasn’t totally convinced that it’s better than tree supports. One example he showed used more filament and still left significant marks. Maybe the design can get some refinement once more people get their hands on it.

I looked forward to trying it out when I get a chance though, and hearing what other people think.
