As an individual, you're mostly just stuck with "symbolic solidarity".

Ideally you would have prepared beforehand and talked with your fellow employees. Hopefully, as a group, you all would decide to take part in the general strike with some prepared talking points and statements to be made to your employer/customers/local media.

Ideally, on such a large scale, the impact could be in the "All of them combined" category.

Your paid time off is your pay, its something you've earned and your employer owes you. Use it.

The Los Angeles Times reported that demonstrators hit the U-Haul and ripped off a sign attached to the vehicle that had a message in Arabic and another in English: "No Shah. No Regime. USA: Don’t Repeat 1953. No Mullah."

Anybody got any reasonably good ideas/sources on how to troubleshoot an intermittent issue where the rear running lights (and license plate light) don't light up while the headlights are turned on during times of day when it is cool/cold and damp? Which, coincidently is when it is dark outside making this issue very inconvienient.

Breaklights work, blinkers work, hazards work. Bulbs are okay.

Checked all the fuses and replaced the headlight control switch. Things worked yesterday afternoon when it was sunny and hot but not today in the early AM while its cool and damp.

I've never "tested the grounding" and haven't had the time to skim through every "how to" video to weed out all the ones that just say to check fuses/bulbs and then take it to a mechanic.

One of the rear light covers is cracked. Would there be a chance that condensation in there would be enough to short out the running light circuit but not all the other light circuits?

VPN Suggestions? (hexbear.net)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by D61@hexbear.net to c/askchapo@hexbear.net
 

My promotional plan NordVPN service is about due for renewal.

I was wondering if any tech support hexbears had any suggestions. The basic plan for Nord is going to run about 150$ US at its full price.

So far I've stumbled across some favorable mentions of Mullvad and the price seems better at about 60$ a year. I'm going to assume that all VPN services are going to make it difficult to seed anything, but if there still some around that dont block all the porta I would like to know more.

Mostly i just fart around on the hexbear at home or with my cell phone. I'm not serious about torrenting but there are things I'm interested in and I've notived are hard to find and don't have many seeds, wouldn't mind helping out without having to figure out how to set up a whole other server to do the thing.

Edit:

Survey says!

-AirVPN

So far its been okay. Bit of a slog getting it on my phone but seems to work okay.

Also a bit of a slog getting things set up to actually seed the occassional thing but that's just because I know about 25% of what I think I know.

Actually got one of those online coupon things to knock a few bucks off as well.

Thanks everbody, you're all swell. sankara-salute

Four people killed after starving Palestinians burst into UN food warehouse in Gaza

Hmm... who was killed? Oh... it was four Palestinians.

Why did they have to "burst" into a warehouse? Oh... the doors were closed and people with guns where trying to keep the Palestinians from being able to get something to eat as they are being intentionally starved by the Israeli government.

“Hordes of hungry people broke into WFP’s al-Ghafari warehouse..."

Hordes of Palestininans being intentionally starved

“Humanitarian needs have spiralled out of control after 80 days of complete blockade of all food assistance and other aid into Gaza,” the statement said. “Gaza needs an immediate scale-up of food assistance. This is the only way to reassure people that they will not starve.”

Incorrect, more food aid being sent isn't going to be able to get through the Israeli state's ability to restrict the flow for the purpses of genociding the Palestinians.

If nobody has money to buy land and build a house, doesn't this just mean well capitalized entities like Blackrock will just be able to put twice as many rental properties on a lot?

violent armed fringes of both the political far right and left who are members of registered U.S. domestic terrorist organizations, have been convicted for violent racial attacks, claimed to have sent Anthrax chemical warfare agents to the President of the United States, been sentenced to mental institutions for threatening to assassinate sitting U.S. presidents, and been imprisoned for plotting terrorist attacks on U.S soil.

Eh... do what you gotta do with whatever you've got to do it with.

Don't revise my revisionism.

You can either be a "who" or a "what", if the movies are made more by "what"s than "who"s they'll stop being made for "who"s and only "what"s.

  1. Its incredibly good.

  2. A chunk of the episodes in the two seasons are practically dead air.

I'm still flip flopping on whether the slow pacing of some of the episodes was intentional (whether to try to build suspense or to hammer home a Lenin attributed quote about "decades where nothing happens and there are weeks where decades happen") or some wonkyness with trying to figure out the proper 'fit' of story and dialogue in an episode.

There's something odd about wanting to find enjoyment in something that is less and less... human.

If you live long enough and interact with the world at large, you will eventually be a victim. You might have avoided 99 other scams or situations where somebody was trying to manipulate you but eventually, you'll fall "victim" to something.

Having a duty to try to keep yourself from being taken advantage of, doesn't mean that you should be denied help when you finally do get taken advantage of and that help be given without judgment.

...'There is no future in Palestine'

so-far "There is no future in Palestine, for Israel."

 

Why, the jock strap, of course.

Business in the front, party in the back.

 

Can anybody speak with confidence about the ending letters in a Manufacturer Part Number (MPN?)

The instrument cluster seems to have half way died in an old Jeep. I can find eBay listings for old instrument clusters for the same make and model. The pictures look the same as mine but there are differences in the MPNs listed and what my dead cluster has.

eBay examples:

  • 56009727AC
  • 56009727AD
  • 56009727L

Current borked cluster: 56009727J

Would these all be interchangeable? Does the letter mean anything important when it comes to finding a replacement?
