Almost like we should focus on making the US better / competitive instead of trying to succeed by blocking others.

Don’t we get a ton of components and raw materials required for EVs from China already?

And as long as people keep subscribing to them, they’ll March right along collecting that sweet money.

Slightly less gouging

Disabling autocorrect showcased how bad I am at phone typing. But I have to be very mindful of what is actually corrected and corrected to. Especially in sms where there’s no easy edit

It was totally to give you content to share today on Lemmy /s

I have wondered for a while if both the predictive and spelling ‘help’ these keyboard provide are getting broken because they’re integrating “what most people do” to your phone.

autocorrect is like downright scary now. you have to double, triple check what you typed is what WAS typed.

Well humans are making them. Vine and other early adopter places (Lemmy) are nice until the “masses” find it.

It’s awful, but people eat it up. Add in profit margins and companies jump on smelling that sweet sweet profit.

Tik Tok is blocked in my house but unfortunately reels/yt shorts have no easy way to block without affecting the rest of the service.

why is incognito transmitting anything to anyone. Glad I switched to FF a while back.

I just, don’t visit reddit anymore.

Problem solved…

That’s crazy… And sad, however not surprising insurance doesn’t cover it…

Eggsactly!

Maybe not “average”, but an unfortunate growing number :(

If only there was some way to completely prevent this from happening…

I also think the guys that designed/Installed ours were not the best. I think they undersized us a bit and am guessing the loop field is also smaller than ideal.

If I knew then what I knew now I probably would have questioned them a bit, but I just had too much other stuff I was keeping up with at the time.

We’re finishing our basement now and had a different HVAC company come out to look at adding vents/returns and he basically said our system really isn’t large enough to support the basement 100% which burns me up because we told them all along it was going to be finished and should be sized accordingly.

Ours is 13yo, so not ancient but not new either. We have geothermal heat pump, so at least more efficient than a air/air heat pump. But when it has to run non-stop it really cools down the ground loop water and gets less efficient.

Ya, outside Cincinnati the forecast only has us making it to 32°f as the HI on Thursday. quite a few low’s in the single digits (was 3.6°f this morning) all week.

Our HVAC is working overtime since Saturday, and appears it’s going to be an expensive electricity month.

This year I’m trying to move away from Amazon, first letting our prime membership lapse in I believe a week. May replace it with Walmart+ or nothing.

But the reality is I was ok paying a fee for fast shipping, but this stupid crap with adding “free” perks that ultimately raise the price combined with the terrible review system, and just garbage products has me backing away. I don’t use/find enough value in all the extra perks above free shipping to justify the cost.

I’m ok with this

Ya, I get it… But now they’re actively participating in making the students education worse.

No doubt, it’s a lose/lose situation. But I find it quite sad for the innocent kids getting caught up in stupid adult stuff. And believe me… I use “adult” strictly to define age/authority position, not mental or maturity level.

It’s almost like essential services are just entirely too expensive. You know the simple things like housing, food, and health care.

On the bright side… Um, well… I’ll have to get back to you on that one.

Turns out it’s still humans visiting this shiny new site. Welcome to earth, enjoy your stay.
