I needed more existential dread so thanks for this. <3

The Biden administration is working on improving train infrastructure but if you look at the map of what they're adding, it's limited to a very small section of the country. I mean, it's like cross country but it's such a massive country that it's still super limited.

I wouldn't say no doubt. Some certainly would do that, others could have more integrity.

He's not smiling.

In the meantime there are some apps that "block" instances. Connect has it, but it doesn't fully block the instance, more like it shows up in the feed with a content warning that the message is from a blocked instance and you can choose to view it if you want. I also do think lemm.ee will defederate from hexbear pretty soon. The admin has had personally horrendous experiences with their users and that meta thread about it was a dumpster fire of hexbear users making unrelated political comments and blocking the actual instance users from having a discussion. It got locked at almost 2000 comments so I'm sure he's still digging through that toxic waste to make his decision.

The standard web UI also needs major improvements. Nobody logs in through an app for their first time and first impressions are critical. It needs to be easier to navigate and use without downloading an app so people will stick around long enough to get involved and have a good time.

It's derived from Hebrew.

Oh no please anything but starting questions with Lemmings of Lemmy!

So I went hiking by myself on an old abandoned logging road once and got a little bit up there, pretty far away from the main road. I hadn't noticed anything like bear poo but you have to always be on guard. Well eventually I got to a point where an animal didn't like me being up there and started huffing and snorting at me. I turned and left because whatever it was, it was not happy. I never saw the animal but given the location and the noises I'm pretty sure it was a moose, and you definitely don't want to get into it with an angry moose.

The issue here is that your wife bought this thinking it's an ac when it's an evaporative cooler aka swamp cooler. They do work if you have low humidity. If you are in a humid area this definitely won't work. Since the unit is small it won't cool the entire room but she should feel nice and cool about 3 to 5 feet in front of it. She will need to make sure the wicking action is working to get the pads nice and wet, otherwise she will have to manually remove them to wet them.

Edit: I wanted to add that I have had a similar small unit before which is why I know that she needs to be 3 to 5 feet in front of it to hit the little target cool zone.

Bunnies. I know it sounds a little dumb but yep, bunnies.

Well gee whiz, I have this little doggy avatar picture thing that I got... somehow? I assume that's what you mean. I had no idea those were NFTs or that they were actually selling them. I just thought it was some stupid achievement I accidentally got.

Someone in another thread somewhere said it was stated on mastodon.world that they would only block in if something happens. I don't remember what topic that was in so unfortunately I don't have a link for you. At any rate, silence also speaks volumes.
