They’re actually super easy to fix. Generally it’s just the solenoid needs to be swapped out. You can buy them cheap on Amazon for most fridges and install takes like 10 minutes.

I stay away from the OEM ones. While they do last longer, it’s cheaper to replace it every 3 years or so for like $30 than it is to pay for the OEM one.

You don’t have to have a smart washer and dryer to do this. If you get a smart outlet that monitors power usage, you can have it notify you when the usage dips. That’s how I do it.

I rarely use the bike these days but generally if you’re using a stationary bike for exercise, you shouldn’t be sitting the whole time.

The sincere answer is public chargers on the street. Similar to parking meters. They don’t have to be fast chargers, 240v or even 120v would do the trick.

I was in a meeting today that was supposed to only last 30 minutes, but ended up almost 1.5 hours because the PM spent 45 minutes complaining about a design, before they even read the design, then spent the next 30 minutes after being explained the design walking back their complaints without ever admitting fault or acknowledging they were wrong.

The worst part? Just an average Friday sync.

Didn’t you read the post? You’re bad and should feel bad.

I’m definitely down to try and find out.

I have nipples Greg, can you milk me?

While I agree with most of what you said, I think you are underestimating the huge cultural differences between NJ, CA, and TX. They very much feel like entirely different countries. Very big differences in culture, linguistics, religion, etc.

USA -> States is very similar to EU -> member countries. I understand that within the EU, member countries have their own concept of “states” that are very similar to the US, but I don’t believe most EU countries prioritize local regions over their country as much as the US does. Keep in mind, Europe as a whole is only slightly bigger than the USA (10m sq k vs 9m sq k)

For instance, someone from Texas self-identifies as a Texan first, and then an American second. It’s why one of the first things an American asks when meeting a new American is “where are you from”. The state they’re from will (usually but not always) tell you a lot about them, their priorities, what their culture is, etc.

Personally I think it’s stupid (I’m not a big fan of “states rights”), but I’m very much in the minority in that.

Oh no I used auto-complete to help write this message. Here comes the Lemmy police to remove my post.

Oh you got added to the top-level security clearance discord group as well?

She

Well that was an unexpected pronoun.

Rich people? I don’t think I follow what’s in common with all those people you mentioned.

Get out and talk to people. It’s 100% believable he won the popular vote, let alone the election.

I have some bad news about farmers for you…

Tell me you didn’t read the article without telling me you didn’t read the article.

This bill was introduced by two Democrats to highlight how all these policies are being enacted by Republicans that target women but not men.

I bet you could make the best proggies though.

Ok, but like, you know French toast and Texas toast are two entirely different things, right?

The issue is with cell phones and mobile networks. They don’t all support passing CNAM (caller name delivery) between them. I worked in telecom for over 15 years, dealt with only businesses, I never met a company that didn’t have CNAM set up.
