For some people 3am is just before bed and time for final dinner. It is for me when I don’t have to work a schedule.

They take a cow, put it in a plastic bag, mush it around a bit, and then pull out the cow. Instant bagged milk.

I don’t think it would be that easy. Wishful thinking. Elons son did worse and he’s like 4.

Is this legit?

I think you mean should.

For me, tv,internet,phone, cellphone are all the same bill. There is broadcast tv near where I live, but it’s very limited and is duplicated by the cable company who does internet etc so it’s not used by many since it’s generally part of the bundle you have to get for the basics.

Not on my system. Unless you setup a pin, you can just click rent or buy and it goes on your next bill.

People use the Reddit app? That thing has always been really bad.

its really well designed and easy. with a smartphone, navigating the city is so easy I think a 10yo could do it. that said, my parents might have trouble, but only cause they get freaked out.

Untraceable airplanes (self.nostupidquestions)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by Willy to c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
 

Hi, I’ve just listened to about 10 aircraft go over my house. It’s not unusual that I have aircraft go over my house. I’ve sometimes even had fighters go over my house. I live in the most secure airspace in the United States (I’m not allowed to fly a $50 drone) and when I use apps to track what type of plane or helicopters are buzzing me, they never show up… they don’t show up on flight radar or adsbexchane even with government filters turned on where they used to intermittently show up. something just happened.

Gantt in linux (self.linux)
submitted 8 months ago by Willy to c/linux@lemmy.ml
 

i’m planning a road trip and wanted to plan it out using a Gantt chart. I searched the repositories and did not find anything. Does anyone have any recommendations? (I actually am fun at parties)

 

I'd like more instrumental music. those are my two favorites. who should I listen to it those are your favorites too?

 

Last night, I watched ‘The Conners’ (it's on after Jeopardy here, and it's not so bad now that Barr is gone), and I can't stop thinking about it. Hopefully, you saw it, too, but it was bothersome. It started with a 90+ YO woman getting her identity stolen. Fair enough. Then, the family thought that debit would be their issue and staged an “intervention.” This is where I think TV needs to be more educational and should have explained that no, they were not going to “be left with a mountain of debt.” Instead, they find out she wasn't being defrauded and had made the purchases herself. Here is where it jumped the shark. This gave them the idea, from experience with Rosanne's death, that credit card debt usually gets wiped when someone dies. They go on a fraudulent spending spree, and near the end of the episode, they find out the credit company will investigate the issue.

I guess my point for the conversation is that there are so many tucking crazy loopholes in this episode it was almost anti-educational and pushed an agenda with no reason. I understand a lot of scripted shows are like this, such as Law and Order (except the original, sort of), but this seemed over the top.
