I don’t usually recognize Lemmy users but I’ve run into your posts a lot these last few days. I assumed you were a bot but from interactions like these it’s clear you mean well. Love to see Lemmy growing from power users like yourself!

Have you ever realized just how broken you are? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I had a similar relationship with my father. He was an alcoholic. These days I don’t have much of a relationship with him. I recognize that he’s a better person now that he’s older, but I don’t really see him as “dad”. Just “father”.

My mom sometimes asks if I will regret not spending more time with him. Honestly, I’m not sure I would. I don’t have many fond memories with him at all. It’s weird saying this knowing that I have a father who loves me in his own way when others might not have one at all.

Why are weather apps so bad at telling you the current weather? in c/[email protected]

This is a really thoughtful and educational answer. I learned a lot from this. Thank you!

That’s what I already do. Which got me thinking about why apps are so bad at this considering they can do the same thing.

Sounds like the system is just stuck on old tech. If I can tell that rain will reach my area from a precipitation radar map then I’m fairly certain an ML based system can do this too.

I suppose there’s just no money in it.

This is exactly what I’m looking for! I also often check the weather to get a gauge on whether it’s clear to walk my dogs. 2-3 hours ahead is perfect.

Why are weather apps so bad at telling you the current weather? (lemmy.zip)
 

I understand that weather on TV can’t be hyperlocally accurate. But a weather app on my phone has my exact GPS coordinates. Why can’t it tell me exactly when a rain cloud will be passing over my location?

It’s gotten to the point where I just use precipitation maps to figure out my rain chances for the day.

The hourly forecast is mostly useless because it’s not a chance % but a % of the area that will be raining.

Any recommendations for iPhone screen protectors that do not take away from the display? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

🤷 I dropped my previous phone with no screen protector, screen cracked. I dropped my current phone, screen protector cracked, screen is perfectly fine.

n=2, but enough for me to just keep a screen protector on at all times.

I’m not sure I buy that. They’re like bumpers on a car. They’re meant to crack to take the pressure off the display. I’d rather crack a $20 screen protector than the $200 display.

I've noticed that most commercially available glass screen protectors are too reflective, or too noticeable. It really takes away from the gorgeous Apple display.

Has anyone used a brand that mirrors the quality of finish that comes on the iPhone displays?

Do you tip for takeout? (How much?) (lemmy.zip)
 

Just learned that a friend of mine always tips 10% on takeout. Ive never tipped on takeout unless they offered me a water/soda while I waited or something.

US biased, but I’m a little curious about other countries as well.

Charger: Weapon Attack… (lemmy.zip)
 

… is an extremely lackluster feat. I had originally read the skill description as being a main OR bonus attack and that felt really strong. After getting the feat I am now stuck with a meaningless skill that takes both actions for what is essentially just a walk + hit.

Am I missing something with this feat?

[Bug] Blank white screen when loading this post (lemmy.zip)
 

No way to reset or go back other than by resetting the app. Screen is completely blank and white. Only the system menu bar on the very top is visible (clock, cell signal, wifi signal, and battery).

[Texas Tribune] “We are dying”: Houston workers protest new state law removing water break requirements (www.texastribune.org)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/1628233

https://archive.is/2CsfM

House Bill 2127, which takes effect on Sept. 1, will do away with local rules that require water breaks for construction workers. The cities of Austin and Dallas, for example, require 10-minute breaks every four hours. San Antonio officials had been considering a similar ordinance.

“We are human beings who need respect,” Martínez said. “We really need to be allowed to work without problems, without any barriers … Believe me, we are dying inside those buildings when they take away our water and our [break] time.”

How do I see posts I've made on other instances? (lemmy.zip)
 

I had made a post on a Beehaw community. I see comments in my inbox, but when I click “Posts” in my profile nothing shows up. To be clear, the beehaw post is my only post ever on this account.
