Ask Lemmy

I have a wonderful senior dog and he’s my best friend. And I’m so scared of his aging. As he’s slowing down and I keep an eye out for medical issues I just can’t imagine how and when to make a call about his life.

I work all day away from home and live by myself, which was not the situation when I’d adopted him initially. I don’t have a community or friends or family around to help during the day if and when it comes to that. I can’t afford dog sitters especially not ones with training.

What if he could be fine with more support and money, should I give him back to animal rescue?

So I’m seeing this around a little bit lately. One of the things these articles claim is that “65% of the parts are sourced in the USA”. So my question is: Are these parts actually manufactured in the US? Or, are parts made in China, Korea, Mexico, Taiwan, etc…, then assembled in the US and claimed to be “sourced” in the US?

Not trying to make this an anti-musk thing or cybertruck-hate thing. I just want to dig into auto industry and Tesla corporate propaganda and see if there’s a hidden truth in it.

I've noticed some files I opened in a text editor have all kinds of crazy unrenderable chars

What do you think? Why Didn’t Facing a Common Enemy Bring Us Together?

Do you have a criteria for what qualifies as block-worthy offence or are you just doing it when you feel like it?

Bonus question: how long is your block list?

I have stumbled on video with Neil Oliver, where he opened theory of Great Sorting. What do you think? Could the whole 4 last years be just something like sorting people on left or right side?

You could call this a sequel to my last question, but I was genuinely curious. Question inspired by someone I know joking about being arrested for selling donuts to someone who died as a result because they didn't need junk food.

In recent events, I learned that some pagers only have receivers. How are discrete messages sent to these devices? How is it authenticated? How do they know the device got the message?

Please try your best to narrow it down to THREE! Can you recall which shows on TV feel synonymous with your youth? Can be your childhood phase, your adolescent phase, etc. - whatever you define as your youth!

For me: Jackie Chan Adventures, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Pokemon

I'm familiar with RSS, but I'm becoming increasingly passionate about JSON Feeds. This leads me to ask:

Besides NPR News, are there any other interesting JSON Feeds to follow?

Side Note: If this isn't the right community for this question, please guide me to a more appropriate one.

• doritos (nacho/cool ranch or nacho+cool ranch submix)
• Crispers (the wavy trapezoidy cracker)
• cheetos (crunchy and compact)
• ringolos (the potato rings)
• maybe some Lays of some variety
• pringles (pizza)
• cheese nips/cheesits
• flat pretzel crackers
• sunchips ...

What else Lemmings?

I’ve got wallet and lighter front right, phone and cigs front left, and keys on a carabiner tucked into back right. Back left is basically always empty.

I am looking for a self-improvement alternative to doom scrolling social media in my downtime. In the past, I have done mostly career oriented courses (tech/computer science), but I'm tired of those, want to branch out. Has anyone taken a MOOC class, not necessarily for any specific objectibe, that was especially good?

Tell us it all. We want details, especially regarding the best parts. Paint the story so we can live it. Let's overwhelm brains with happiness and gratitude 🫠

Hello,

Bought a spare super cheap used 3TB drive a year ago, and just figured out it's not a SATA but a SAS drive.

How fucked am I? What can I do more than using it as a paperweight?

Cheers!

Was thinking of this after a conversation I had on a thread about dreams. Someone joked “I was dreaming of the events of The Matrix, then I was woken up by someone worried my dream was infringing the Wachowski’s copyrights”, and it turned into a whole train of thought in my mind, like violating IP law because you stole fire from Zeus which was his intellectual property.
