It’s probably an April Fool’s Day gag.

Civil suits do not work that way.

LOL. Based MBFC:

I noticed they similarly (and correctly) downgraded/tanked the credibility rating for cdc.gov as well.

It’s just there and under the same domain. Otherwise, it’s a completely separate system that instance users can sign up and use. Maybe in the future they can both use the same OIDC login, but I don’t think Lemmy supports that yet.

The UI we use as our default has Peertube integration, so any videos shared from this Peertube instance (or any other) will show as inline embeds within the Lemmy client.

• Curated, “normie friendly” default experience
• Default UI is not Lemmy UI
• PeerTube instance (though not fully integrated and requires a separate account)

Quite reliably, yeah. The only limitation is I can’t root my current device, so the mapped keys can only work when the screen is on. But the volume keys will wake the screen up, so I just hit it once normally then hold to mute or change tracks or whatever.

What happened in June 2022? Increased demand from returning to normal after COVID?

You can do that with KeyMapper, and I have a lot of custom actions set up with it.

I have double-press volume down set to toggle mute, though, since I’m already using long press of vol up and down to do next/prev track for my music player.

Regardless, I cannot recommend KeyMapper enough. It’s pretty fantastic.

Is anyone surprised?

Yeah, kinda. I assumed it was a $90 million ballroom with the remaining $210 million being funneled to cronies.

509 reviews as I write this and still 0 downloads and zero of those 509 reviews have any text; they just have ratings.

I’ve only been to a ski resort 3 times, and two of them were in the off-season lol. They’re popular for conferences and such and yeah, hiking/biking/ziplining are usual attractions in the summer. The one time I went during ski season, I lodged the whole time and regret nothing.

Trust me, I get it. I just get more frustrated when someone takes a small step in the right direction and then people chastise them for not taking a huge step. Like, you gotta start somewhere. Feels counterproductive to do that, but it’s so common on Lemmy for people to let perfect be the enemy of good that I figured I’d say something.

Anything besides addressing the real problem

Really could have done without that snark. Ski resorts aren’t carbon neutral, sure, but they’re also not anywhere close to a primary contributor of climate change. So I don’t see why the snarky comment is warranted when they’re literally doing something that will help them lower their emissions which is … addressing the real problem.

Snow farming is one of many sustainability measures ski resorts can take. The article didn’t go into detail if they’re taking any other measures, but to put them on blast for even taking just one step in the right direction is a bit disingenuous.

Nope. I’ve had ^Reddit as one of my regex community filters for some time now.

What I can totally switch to without skipping a beat is Beyond Meat “beef” patties

Maybe I’m just cooking them wrong. We didn’t raise cattle growing up, but we always bought a side of beef from a neighbor, so that’s my benchmark. Maybe I’m the same way as you with chickens.

Yeah, they’re definitely pricey. I tend to buy in bulk when they go on sale, and they freeze just fine.

The Beyond breakfast sausages are absolutely delicious. There’s two, maybe three, varieties available in my area. There’s the links, which are my favorite, and also the patties. I’m not sure if they stopped making them or my grocery store just stopped carrying them, but there used to be a maple sausage one that was beyond amazing.

Impossible makes a ground sausage that’s also really good. It comes in a sleeve like regular ground sausage and, IMO, tastes better than the real thing.

If you’re talking about the brats, then yeah, AFAIK there’s only one type of those.

The meatballs are kind-of sausage-y and also excellent.

What I do in my free time is not for you all to judge. 😆

A little bit high, yeah, but you don’t usually need to salt or season it in most cases. Not to mention regular chicken often gets heavily salted, so in my mind it’s more or less the same in the end.

The reasons for high dollar amount compensations are usually, at least, threefold:

1. Cover the plaintiff’s legal fees. Lawyers often get a percentage of the award or settlement and typically are the ones to set the dollar amount being sought. Even if they “just” bill hourly then the plaintiff still has to pay them (win or lose). Often, though not always, lawyers are expensive (especially good ones).
2. Actual compensation to the victim
3. A deterrent to future violations that led to the lawsuit / encouragement to do better

Edit: That’s against companies and large entities, though. I’ve never understood awards of millions of dollars from regular people who could never in 10 lifetimes pay that amount. Maybe it’s just symbolic? I’ve never really known what happens when Jim Bob who makes $1000/mo on social security gets sued for $10 million and loses.

Before I quit smoking ~11 years ago, I could eat literally anything because it all tasted like cardboard anyway. Don’t miss that one bit.
