I had high hopes that Genna Bain would continue tb’s legacy. I can’t imagine losing someone so publicly.

I thought Trump signed a bill explicitly stating medical facilities needed to be transparent about costs? It surprised me as being one of the few human things he did so I made note of it.

Found, CNN unfortunately, but also appears to be hospital focused and executive order: https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/15/politics/hospital-insurer-rates-transparency-trump/index.html

This is deceiving though. In The US tipping is literally everywhere now.

If you are waited on, I. E. Sat at a table or served at a bar, tipping is expected. If you go to a counter and place an order and someone hands you something while you’re standing there, those workers aren’t making 2.13/hr.

Black box down was just canceled :(

So was Ship Hits the Fan. At least RedWeb is still kicking.

That’s helpful, thank you!

Something I haven’t been able to wrap my head around, do I need a username on each instance for federated instances? If not, how does one participate in communities in other instances? I’m with lemmy.ml, but if I want to interact with a post on beehaw, how do I do that?

In my opinion, theater movies are blurry. And I’m sure someone will come along and tell me why I’m wrong, but the 24 or 28 FPS thing needs to take a hike. Motion blur in movies is over-relied upon and looks bad on the big screen.

Peak was either Win2k or 7. XP was great, but only eventually. Most people forget what XP was like before SP2. And I was at the XP launch event lol

We don’t need a meeting for everything. It could have been an email.

I’m with you on this. Ebooks are super convenient, and I love them for that, but I do like a physical book.

Give me a PDF of a manual I’m rarely going to look at. Let me search that shit.

Nobody should be able to profit off boring industries. Utility (power, water, telephony (which includes internet), banking, insurance.

Cap the profits at an arbitrary number that keeps up with inflation and allows for expanding business basic needs like staffing and inventory. Large investments should be reviewed and approved by regulating bodies and monies allocated and investments must be met with progress goals that achieve the completion of the project in full. None of this “Thanks for the monies, lol bye” bullshit.

Once I wrap my head around how instances work, I’d love to get an instance up and running (or join an existing one)
