I was having trouble figuring this out as well. I unblocked Reddit from my firewall and had no trouble accessing it.
The business model is user data capture. Making people use an app just makes it more apparent.
Is anything important on Reddit anymore?
Oh that makes perfect sense. Iron pipes have a useful life span. They slightly corrode grab on to minerals than corrode a bit more.
I have had to replace my piping and heard that they have around a 40 year service life. The pipes in my house were 70 years old.
Copper is more expensive, but doesn’t need to be replaced every 50 years.
If you have the chance to replace sections of pipe while the walls are open it makes sense to, otherwise just know it’s on the horizon and wait until you aren’t happy with the water pressure. It could be decades more before you notice a supply side issue. That pipe look beefy even with with restriction.
I’m sad to see the employees get nabbed, but I am happy to see the employers get fined.
The fastest way to true reform is to make the people benefiting from undocumented labor pay the fines.
I think this is in part due to scarcity and the declining middle class. Opportunities for people to have a fairly comfortable life are fewer and harder to achieve then they were in the past. As there are less resources the criteria to dole them out gets stricter as a way to determine who gets more of the shrinking allotment.
Education is one of the few levers left people can effect that will improve life. It’s easy to see the effects ripple backwards.
My fifth grader has academic anxiety about grades and how it will affect college and job prospects. To me that’s crazy; at this point it’s about the fundamentals of life. How could you know what job you want at 11? Much less what extracurricular activities will universities look for when you apply to college.
Russia has the capacity to take control of the situation, but I think it completely unlikely that they would take the steps necessary. They can have Crimea or the territories, but not both at this point.
Frankly Ukraine is too big for an army the size of Russia to take. They simply don’t have enough troops or equipment for the size of the territory they are defending and attacking.
It’s going to become a stalemate soon. Neither side has the manpower to change the situation.
If Ukraine could concentrate on just Crimea they still be short handed to take over such a large piece of territory.
Russia is worth to much money to be left is disrepair. Some partner will Come along to profit from and rebuild the resources.
If they were getting rich from this they would have ice on speed dial.
The real quote " thanks to the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown and the shaky economy."
It's the shaky economy that is their problem. They didn't profit from the hollowing out of their community. They support the deportations. They got theirs. That's why support is flagging.
For her that would have worked out.
They expected to become rich. They was the sum total of the thought.
Hmmm… I’ll have to check in on binface lore.
Is there a nationality requirement for the position?
Count binface is not British, he is a space alien.
It seems a lot of what is going on in this thread needs to have some therapy and possibly medication.
It’s important to get that help when you needed it.
Sounds like the OP is getting to the right space , but could benefit from some guidance on how to deal with being treated so poorly.
Thanks everyone who chimed into my first help request.
I picked up a set of winsor newton acrylic paint and a paint pen. That was definitely the right advice.
The red could go straight onto the board, but all the other colors needed to be backed by white.
Does anyone have good tips on mixing skin colors for paints? Right now all of these on the board were solid colors ,
Thought this would be interesting. Anyone else see examples of historic art that inspired gaming ?
I have found Reddit misses much more than hits when I was on there pre-Lemmy.
On topics where I have deep knowledge, I was drown out by people with a wrong answer and more karma. Once on something I was literally the creator of.
I can only assume other topics I know less about were the same way. It really makes me doubt what I see on Reddit. I assume ai and bots did not improve that.
For niche information I am actually going back to targeted web boards. While Lemmy is less entertaining, I have gotten some good quality information as well as conversation.
