Having been surprised to see Tool twice in this thread, I think you hit the nail on the head.
Between Maynard’s voice, and the basslines OP mentioned, they definitely have a distinctive sound, and I could see how it could blur together as background / casual listening music. Especially if you listen to mostly mixes ot playlists.
Personally, I almost exclusively listen to music by album, and I think thats where Tool’s songs really become more distinct from each other.
I know you’re being somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but being an honest, trustworthy, and genuinely pleasant person to deal with will let you get away with at least a 10-25% premium in my opinion (depending on project size). More importantly, if you can deliver that service without charging too much of a premium, you’ll be the first, and maybe only, person I call or recommend for the next project.
I have not. But if they are on Lemmy, share their username and I’ll get some popcorn lol
Context maybe, and a bit of critical thinking?
Look at the subject of the thread, and look at what they said. It’s clearly not something a MAGA on Lemmy would post in response to a news article critical of Trump, but a parody of what a MAGA would have said that led to the situation being described by the article.
But shit, for whatever reason people on Lemmy see a few downvotes, immediately take that as evidence that it’s a serious comment, and don’t give it a second thought. It’s all over the place here.
I think you’re partially right, but only about everything having a separate app.
The reality is connected devices will be so ubiquitous and commonplace that the interface will become standarfized and totally tansparent. Connecting to any arbitrary device will be as simple as connecting to an arbitray web server through a browser.
Every device needing its own app is temporary and unsustainable.
I downvoted you because your blatant sarcasm wasn’t punctuated with a “/s”, so there was a 0.007% chance you were being sincere.
Shit, even at historic lows of 3% interest it only drops the monthly payment by about 25%, but increases the total cost of the loan by 80%.
Its absolutely a terrible idea.
Thanks, I didn’t realize the enterprise DASs could be locked down to certain drive models. That would definitely be a non-starter.

Legend has it the only person to ever truly understand the lyrics to this song was David Hasselhoff, but he forgot them halfway through eating that cheeseburger.
It’s not just Taylor Swift concerts, it’s virtually all concerts, and literally all concerts at the medium-large venue size.
A monopoly of a non-essential product/service is still a monopoly, and bad for consumers.
IANAL but the precedence means that federal laws supercede state laws in the case of a conflict or ambiguity. It doesn’t (legally) mean feds can just do whatever the fuck they want with no interference from state LE.
Now, maybe there’s a federal law that says certain federal vehicles don’t require license plates. In that case, the federal law could override state laws requiring them. I have no idea if that’s the case though.
I’ve got no dog in this fight, but you’re misrepresenting them.
Their original post says “all the neoliberals and conservatives who voted against Bernie”. It’s not that Bernie, being one man, would have made a difference. It’s that the bloc lining up behind him would have made a difference.
And the fact that he couldn’t beat a bunch of neoliberals and conservatives is OUR (the voting population’s) failure, not his.

The only thing to watch out for using a laptop that is plugged in 24x7 is the battery. Battery management systems are generally pretty good, but Li-ion batteries can fail catastrophically. As long as you make a point to check on it periodically it’s probably fine.
I’m using an old laptop as a local interface for my network setup, since its in my basement, and I actually pulled the battery out entirely since I have a beefy UPS powering everything. Paranoid, maybe, but a Li-ion battery sitting on top of my equipment rack could do a ton of damage if it were to fail someday.

Virtually every single thing the immigrant fear-mongerers bring up to justify cracking down on “illegal immigrants” is already against the law and has existing enforcement. And since being here illegally is, for all intents and purposes, an administrative issue, it makes zero sense at all to expend extra resources specifically to go after them. Especially since the data shows that they commit crimes at lower rates than US citizens.
If you arrest someone for DUI, and find they are not authorized to be in the US, then OK there’s at least a case for taking action on the immigration issue. Otherwise, the only point is giving hateful rubes someone to punch down on.
Yeah, its their online-only bank.
I have no idea why some banks can offer those CD-like rates while others offer virtually zero. Capital One 360 Savings and Ally have similar rates as well.
One that earns you more than the default 0.15% or so that you earn on most savings accounts.
You have to do a bit of hunting, but for example, I have an account with Citizens Access that earns 3.50% last time I checked. It’s not much, but it’s better than earning nothing on the emergency fund that I want to keep liquid and accessible.
I didn’t know KenM was on the Fediverse!
Cold air tends to be very dry, which can most definitely irritate your nose and throat (among other body parts). That irritation and drying out can make the thin skin and mucous membranes more vulnerable to attack from bacteria and viruses.
The only really unscientific part of your post is that the cold air itself is not the direct cause of illness.
People with a strong immune system might not see a big difference, but if you are already more susceptible to getting sick, then the link to cold air may be more obvious to you.
