It really does but in a funny way because I’m also dependent on a tense geopolitical relatioship with russia so my pirated content is still accessible from the US.

Not wrong. just concerned with the relevant, consequential definition. I simply don’t care about what you’re advocating if you’re not advocating for legal regulation and that’s when the legal definition matters.

Anecdotally speaking, I walk around town for exercise and I’ve crossed paths with a disproportionate number of Pit bulls/Pit mixes and the only dog to ever bite me while I was out was a goddamn Bichon Frisé.

"Despite the colloquial use of the term “pit bull” to encompass a whole category of dogs and the legal use of the term to include several breeds in legislation, some conservative professional breeders of the American Pit Bull Terrier as well as some experts and supporters claim that historically the APBT is the only true “pit bull” and the only breed that should be denominated as such

The categorical legal definition is what I’m referencing

Nothing stands out very far regarding the negatives. I could speculate to a few things, though. He’s not a Socialist. When the going got tough for him and his business he uprooted and moved out of NYC to Texas. I can’t really think of anything else objectionable. I actually like him, though so I may be biased.

For the positives, he’s helped drive a lot of the Right to Repair legislation in this country as he’s reported a lot of discussions he’s had with real legislators. He runs a website for mac product repair as a reference that also operates as a non-profit. He runs a daytime business repairing mac products that employs several other people. Generally he posts a lot to keep people up to date increasingly as an electronics-oriented influencer, but he used to post mac repair videos almost exclusively and he talked about having to navigate Apple’s influence on regulating the second-hand market. He has also given platform to a number of other mac & electronic repair people.

To me he seems to talk-the-talk and walk-the-walk when it comes to Right to Repair, but like I said, I might be biased.

Pitbull is not a breed. It’s just another term for mutt used to describe mixed breeds of dogs that were once used for animal fighting. So a Pitbull/Boxer mix could be 87.5% boxer and 1/8 English Bulldog for all anyone knows.

yep, 'been focused on my downloads a lot more as of late, and more storage solutions/expansions as well.

Read the instructions all the way through before making attempts to follow them. I was working on a soldering project with a vacuum tube-mount and the instructions said “Solder the coil and vacuum tube-mount… …the vacuum tube-mount can only go in one way so be sure to install it on the reverse side of the pcb”

I tore off 5 out of the 14 traces trying to desolder that one component.

5 stars

‘Feminist’ is one of those terms that seems to have different definitions based on who you ask. I don’t know what you call me but I’m a proponent of Equal Rights Amendment full-stop.

What are the odds that a Venezuelan court would recognize a cease & desist plus a lawsuit from a Japanese corporation over intellectual property?

Oh man I said the same thing. The topless dead woman nightmare scene is seared into my memory.

That movie scared the hell out of me when I was in High School. I crashed someone else’s date to see it.

Event Horizon. I saw the first half as part of the second half of a double feature at the drive-in theater with my family. I think Men in Black was the first feature. I was 9 when I saw that topless dead woman scene. It’s such an underrated movie.

You made the polite decision to say “hi” to an old acquaintance and subsequently found out there wasn’t much to talk about. I hope in similar future situations you choose to make the same decision. -Minus the initial walk-away.

Also, as far as awkward situations go for me, this one wouldn’t register because I often find myself in much cringier situations. Anyways, se la vie.

if the dough is unusable then there’s really not much choice about what to do with it. I suppose you could partially cook it before tossing it, but that’s a high cost option with regards to time, energy usage, and oven space.

I occasionally have a real conversation on Lemmy.

If you look up the company they have profiles of their leadership. I guess she’s the “Chief People Officer” and also the only part of the leadership team that happens to be a woman.

I’m pretty sure the “Car for programmers” is the 88’ Toyota Tercel, or something similar with zero electronics aside from the radio.
