  • North Korea could have sent over 6 million artillery shells to Russia, Seoul says
  • that was my thought as well. I assume most of them to be duds. hell, the relabeled Chinese hand-me-downs the Russians are using don't work either.

  • True. That was my peak wrestling watching era.

  • You also have to consider the audience Trump is trying to please. Who is going to pull more people? Steve Mnuchin talking about Trump glowingly or a clown wrestler that Trump's fans remember as a childhood hero backing their pick?

  • Hey! Welcome. I understand the first year struggle since I have one of my own. Glad you decided to join and engage. If you want, join us on the Matrix channel. We have a lot of great fun talking there. Also, take we have a fatherverse community that might be fun for you as we all recount things about parenting.

  • Nice to have you here.

  • I am running Bazzite and Stellaris. I have no issues with stability or opening the game. Have you checked your hardware fundamentals and done things like disable steam overlay?

  • As an Ohioan, anything outside of the major metros is basically the south.

  • By endorsing Trump, Elon Musk is gambling with Tesla’s future
  • That's where I am at now. The whole "There is no such thing as ethical consumption under capitalism" thing really eats at you. But I still know I won't buy a Tesla for a host of reasons.

  • Gonna salt Squilliam's business
  • Really? I'll have to check again. Last time I looked it was a defunct Facebook page.

  • T-shirts of Donald Trump assassination attempt sold on Chinese e-commerce sites, listings swiftly taken down

  • If only the local IWW wasn't a defunct facebook page...

  • Lead free solder on microcontrollers
  • Lot of good points here. I work in electronics manufacturing so I'll add on a bit. Yes, much of what has been explained about solder and flux is correct. I will caution about trying something like conformal coating a board in this setting. It is hard to work through and can beat up your iron. Lead free is great but sucks for working it into the joints. It just doesn't heatt the same. Even IPC build standards have explicit instructions about visual inspections of non leaded joints looking like shit.

    If you are planning to coat the board, I would do outdoors as well. Extraction fans are great for general soldering but we use fume hoods for conformal coat. Just something to keep in mind.

    Anyone ever do the Rimworld room math for their place?

    I was just standing there, looking at my bathroom and figured out that my bathroom is 2x3 square room based on the Dubs Hygiene mod fixtures. I have over 900 hours in the game. Am I broken? lol

    Baby monitor recommendations

    My wife thinks I'm insane but, what experience do you have with baby monitors and what steps did you take with commercial products to make sure they weren't vulnerable like most IoT garbage out there?

    Cleveland city workers oppose the charter amendment proposal that would give residents direct say over a small portion of the city's budget.

    More than a dozen cars damaged on i480 west

    I got caught up in this nonsense. Hopefully, we can get ODOT to pay out for the damage.

    It is getting wild out there.

    So, I got curious and set my feed to all. Wow, there a lot of arguments about defederation due to the Beehaw decision. Many Many people positing on "the death of Reddit" and the refugee crisis. I get some of the concerns about moderation and ideology but the amount of navelgazing is unreal. Ill just stick to local for a bit until things settle down.

    So, how are you finding the big, wide fediverse outside of our pleasant little pocket? With all of the thinkpieces being posted about how Lemmy is never going to work, I wanted to see some fresh takes from the good folk at midwest.social.

    Feels like the old internet

    I'm really enjoying the switch to Lemmy. This feels more like the late 90s/early 00s when computers still required some work to use. I know it might seem gatekeeper-y but it's just nice to know the people here really care about how we interact and what we give up by using the intrusive commerical platforms. Thoughts?
