@georgetakei I bought an #EV and now I don't care about the people who are paying out the wazoo to keep adding CO2 to the atmosphere.
“Wait. I thought we weren’t doing that anymore?” If you believed the U.S. ended the practice of adjusting the clocks twice a year, you’re not alone. In 2022, the Senate passed the bipartisan Sunshine Protection Act, which promised to make daylight saving time permanent once and for all. But Congress failed to pick it up, and attempts to revive the issue have fallen flat. Read more from NPR about where the legislation stands.
PS: Please resist the idea that we cannot change our healthcare system in the US. In fact we came extremely close to nominating a popular presidential candidate who ran a campaign on just that!
Keep hope alive!
@riversidebryan@hugs.lgbt This is a pretty naive approach. Office towers are not designed to have multiple independent residential units on each floor. In particular, plumbing and exiting tend to be centralized. Windows are limited in relation to floor space. You end up with dark apartments with little to no outside windows while everyone's kitchen restroom and front door fight for limited access to the center of the building.
About the best you can do in most high rise office space is create a kind of dormitory with private bedrooms along the outside and common kitchen and bathrooms in the middle.
@wellschmaltz "It's your actual time zone" is pushing it a bit. US timezones are East biased. For Eastern time that means the coastal Metro areas are probably pretty close to solar local time. Out west however its a different story. Seattle and Portland are closer to solar noon during daylight savings time, and even at San Francisco Longitudes Pacific time is not really that close to local solar time. It is way California has petition to go permanently to UCT-7 and if California goes Oregon and Washington are likely to follow.
@John I'm not so clear this is cut and dried. I examine real things, but produce only digital information about them. I the transfer these real things to a production line that does work in the work I recommend. I cannot do my job in a virtual way, I have to hold broken tools to understand why they broke. However, all I produce in the end are bit of information about what happened and how it should be repaired.
@realcaseyrollins The Hamas invasion was a complete intelligence failure on the part of the IDF. They were completely unable to infiltrate the terrorist organization as they have in the past. I don't know if this is actually true but I read somewhere that Hamas only recruited people for this mission who could show that the IDF had killed both their parents. What they are doing right now is not destroying the terrorists, it is radicalizing the ones who will attack Israel in the 2030's just as the ones who attacked this time were radicalized in the 2014 retaliations.
Israel needs to figure out how to defend itself without radicalizing more terrorist than it kills if it wants to shorten rather than lengthen this conflict.
@w7voa The question in my mind is not if he can take the nomination from a health Joe Biden, but if he could scoop up the nomination in the event Biden suffered a health crisis or died outright. Could he beat VP Harris for the nomination in that circumstance?
If Joe #Biden were to die or suffer a medical issue which prevent him from running for president before the #Democratic convention, who should the #Democrats nominate instead?
@WorkingFamilies I’ve had a gun pointed in my face exactly once… by a police officer. Solving the violence in our society will require a lot more than just laws to limit civilian access to guns.
In other news, 27 states have banded together to sue Dungeons & Dragons for promoting witchcraft, 35 states have banded together to sue "rock & roll" music for "promoting impure thoughts and glamorizing drug use", and Boston & Cleveland have banded together to sue "all sports" for "intentionally dividing the nation."
