Because if we’ve learned anything from the Trump era, it’s that laws restricting candidacy for president apply evenly to everyone, so we should play by the rules.

I’m just a bit tired of the reactionary pressure to be outraged about everything on social media.

Have you tried… I dunno… just skipping the posts you don’t like? Others are clearly interested in this post and topic. You’re not the social media judge who decides what’s worthy of discussion. Just keep scrolling, friend.

They’ve been “upgrading” the hardware and software for their fingerprint scanner since they moved away from the only one that ever worked well: the dedicated sensor on the back of the 5. Bring that one back. Every single pixel since the 5 has had an absolutely garbage fingerprint scanner, including the 9.

That makes more sense than what I was thinking. My first thought was “How do all of those Chinese dudes land safely so they can get up and fight? Is it a numbers thing where half those fuckers will die in the fall, but the other half might not? Did they have ancient parachutes? Were they training in tactical rolling from a fall back then?”

I’m an idiot.

I get that horney lemmy folk are upvoting it, but it really isn’t ok. “Lol I tricked someone into thinking I was someone else and had sex with them” is pretty rapey, twins or otherwise.

There’s a really interesting Ted talk from about 13 years ago that talks about this exact issue. It’s all about how our brains respond to porn, how and why it kills our libido, and how it creates this spiral where we need more crazy porn and fetishes to get off. The good news is that it’s usually reversible. Check it out: https://youtu.be/wSF82AwSDiU

Dude saw the project of his life absolutely destroyed by Reddit. I can understand he just wants to move to the next chapter of his life.

Yeah, no. That doesn’t hold water when you’re actively accepting payments for an app on a new platform but not maintaining it for long periods of time.

He didn’t move on with his life. He ported sync to lemmy, dramatically increased the pricing model, and now seems to go AWOL for extended periods of time often resulting in broken functionality.

I see. Thanks, I didn’t realize that.

Same. This stuff is excellent and I’ve used it for years on cutting boards and butcher blocks I’ve made. It’s all natural, obviously food safe, super easy to apply with a paper towel or cloth, and the bottle lasts forever.

… As opposed to the superior Republican plan for increasing minimum wage?

You just accurately (and accidentally?) summarized all religions.

I have this exact model, and I wish I didn’t. It turns out there’s a flaw in the logic that controls the heating elements. When in “Energy Saver” mode (the default mode), the lower heating element won’t heat the water. So when you start to use the hot water, as the hot water goes out, the replacement cold water coming in isn’t getting heated at the bottom. This drops the temperature of the existing hot water in the tank, and it takes several hours of no hot water use for the tank to get to your desired temp. For my family it means we get about 1 1/2 showers (showers last about 7 or 8 minutes) before the water starts coming out lukewarm. You can see this happening on your unit by activating the diagnostic mode on the panel and watching the lower element water temp.

I went several rounds with Rheem’s customer support (including have two separate techs come to my house to inspect it) before someone finally acknowledged in writing that there’s a known defect in the logic of the controller board. They tagged my unit as defective, but so far have not been able to replace it since they haven’t engineered a fix and started producing a new version of the water heater with said fix.

My advice, stay away from Rheem hybrid water heaters for a while until they get it sorted out. Also, pro tip: Keep it on the “High Demand” mode so that it’s always using electricity + heat pump to heat the water. That gives you the most aggressive heating profile and does not contain the flaw where the lower heater element won’t activate. This was the advice their engineer gave me, and it’s allowed us to have hot water for more than a shower or two.
