  • Aren't golf courses incredibly polluted with persistent use of pesticides that should probably be illegal? Maybe development would be better than trying to grow food in toxic soil?

  • How to vote?

    Jump

  • I think of votes as adding or decreasing visibility. Which is a little different than "I like this." An upvote means you think other people should see a post/comment.

    So unsavory but important things still deserve an upvote imo. That doesn't mean you like the thing being discussed.

  • Can anyone recommend a logging blood pressure cuff that doesn't require an app or account?

  • Mine also has 100 logged entries for 3 users. It can display a table or trend line of historical data, and it has a usb port that supposedly can be used to download the log. But if you need a specific driver or software to access the file then I don't know if that violates the "no app" requirement.

    I hadn't tried accessing the data externally before and this post got me curious enough to try. The program looks ancient and does not recognize the bp monitor as is. I don't feel like playing the driver hunting and compatibolity mode game. The monitor does not host a standard storage volume so I don't believe the files can be retrieved without the software. I would be tempted to speculate that this is representative of the type of experience to expect if OP doesn't want to go down the bluetooth connection to app route.

  • Is there a mechanism in the USA to undo presidential pardons years later if political corruption has been proven as motivation to give these pardons?

    Jump

  • Right, they would be subject to new prosecution for new crimes because of their recidivism. The pardoned crimes are no longer relevant to whether they end up incarcerated again. My point is that we have already seen high rates of recidivism in those pardoned by Trump, and a reformed Attorney General's office or states can prosecute crimes that haven't been pardoned. This doesn't provide justice for the corruption of bad pardons, but if the end result is incarceration just the same, then that might be close enough to justice.

    I think we are in agreement, I guess I didn't phrase my initial comment particularly well.

  • One of the most humane solutions is also the most economically efficient. Early intervention programs like rent/utility assistance are significantly cheaper in the long run than trying to rehabilitate people who have already lost everything and have a litany of health issues because of it. If conservatives really want to save money, they should be embracing "an ounce of prevention saves a pound of cure." Instead, they're stuck in wanting to SEE the desperation before even considering helping. Safety nets are major economic stimulus in the long run because it's much easier to attempt entrepeneurship if you aren't making a life and death gamble. But something tells me the currently wealthy know this and don't want competition popping up.

    Then of course we also need to fix affordability issues, because unaffordable necessities put everyone at risk.

    My point is that even if you mostly just care about efficient government and economic growth, you should still come to similar conclusions as "bleeding heart liberals." Conservatives don't come to those conclusions not by economic arguments, but because they fail to see the merit of collective problem solving. They want to have their own little castle with all their stuff that they can defend under penalty of death. We pretend the argument is about feasability and cost effectiveness, but the real issue is that they don't think that any proposal that would take anything from them or require giving is an option. That's why you see the economically destitute and ultra wealthy in an unholy alliance. Both of those groups are prone to wanting to circle the wagons and consider only the wellbeing of people in their little circle -- the poor out of desperation, and the wealthy out of possessiveness. Everyone not in their little circle is someone else's problem.

  • Unless that person has comitted more crimes they were not previously prosecuted for. Which is not entirely unlikely if they are emboldened by having avoided punishment thanks to the backing of a corrupt POTUS. I.E. multiple Jan 6'ers. I would expect high rates of recidivism for beneficiaries of Trumo pardons.

    Which prosecuting new crimes is not undoing a pardon, but it may achieve a measure of justice anyway.

  • Lina Kahn Khan losing her position in the FTC is one of the most underrated negative consequences of the 2024 election. Sometimes I wonder if fear of Kahn Khan is why so many companies backed Trump even though wallstreet knew the economy would be healthier under Harris.

  • Also, most in flight wifi and a lot of hotel wifi won't connect until you set dns back to automatic. It's easy enough to switch, but there's no error code to indicate that it's necessary so you have to just remember that might be the issue.

  • Gamer's Nexus has heard a lot of interest in their community about gaming on linux. So they've been working with Wendell from Level1Techs to put together a Linux benchmarking workflow. They chose Bazzite for those efforts.

    Gamer's Nexus likes to make frequent use of a clip from an Intel presentation where one of the presenters says "Thanks Steve," because the main personality on Gamers Nexus is Stephen Burke.
