I guess the next time California catches fire, you'll know where all the water is

Nah dawg it ain't #GOOD. I was just now able to till my garden today and I'm not near any of the flooded areas over here in western KY. Everything has been super saturated and with the dams (Kentucky and Barkley) having their spill gates still open there isn't going to be much reprieve for people living in the downstream river bottoms or those depending on lakes to lower enough for the upstream tributaries to drain enough.

I have a feeling most farmers around here will be making insurance claims this year which will raise rates for everyone else and in turn raise food prices.

In this case it was Interplay and Fallout did outlast them.

welcome to modern politics where if the other side is doing it, it must be bad.

In the USA taxes and titling cost different amounts depending on where you live. It's easier to calculate once you buy, especially if you are buying in another state than the one you reside in which is a big problem in my state where dealers don't stock EVs. I had to go to the nearest large city which is in another state from where I reside to get my Bolt EUV.

You can calculate before you buy and each state usually has at least a chart to ballpark what you'll pay. The easiest way to calculate these taxes would be to not levy them against people to begin with.

Advertising cars would never be feasible on nationally broadcast TV under your system.

They did figure out the problem though. Price set by the manufacture, show cost for delivery on the window sticker, then when you buy they car the title and tax are figured out for where you live. It's the fairest and easiest way of showing and figuring the price. If you can't figure out that window stickers are available online and the tax and title yourself before you buy, that's a you problem. It's not on the seller nor the manufacturer to post pricing for every state or municipality.

If you want cleaner pricing, demand an end to titling and car taxes.

Except that not every place is next to the car factory. Delivery to Portland, Maine is going to be a much different price in comparison to Austin, Texas. Do you also expect the cost of titling and taxes be included in the advertised price? Do you know that those vary from location to location as well?

I've heard enough other horror stories to know not to publish anything under the MIT license. Granted they are different, but what happened to BSD should be enough deterrent to not use those types of licenses.

bullshit fee

Do you think shipping and transportation of goods is free? Do you think truck drivers drive stuff around out of the goodness of their hearts?

That's my takeaway even after reading the article. MIT license bad.

Browns owner Jimmy Haslam said Monday that the team is “close” to finalizing extensions for Berry and Stefanski

We’re in the process of working through things so that Kevin and Andrew would be with us for an extended period of time

 

In response to this statement from FCC/MLS single entity:

https://www.fccincinnati.com/news/statement-from-fc-cincinnati

Out of professional decorum, we will not be sharing the details publicly

This statement is weak af. I expect nothing less from FCC/MLS single entity. Control the narrative, control the opposition, monopolize US soccer

Biggest takeaway from this quote from Garber

We financially have no involvement in it. We don’t control the brand. We don’t control the state of the facilities.

It confirms my suspicion that MLS wants to be the only name in US soccer and is really pushing for their monopoly. The other takeaway is MLS gaslighting us now in saying this is for the greater good.

I can't wait for MLS to get busted up in an antitrust lawsuit. Fuck single entity.

 

I found a massive quality of life improvement this morning with Mastodon Redirect and it makes interacting with Mastodon links found outside my Mastodon app so much more easier to interact with. I was wondering if there are any plans to implement this. I spoke with the dev of Lemmy Redirect and he said the reason Voyager isn't supported is because Voyager doesn’t have a way to send it links

Is the best place to submit feature requests here or the github?

 

I'm trying to find an android mastodon app that can handle links from outside the app and open them in the app. Tusky is not going to implement this feature request and I haven't seen anything from the official app nor Fedilab.

It really feels like not being able to open mastodon links in an app is what's holding me back from using Mastodon more. I don't always find Mastodon content from within and is like to be able to interact with them more.
