  • Trump scraps tariffs on beef, coffee and tropical fruit in a push to lower grocery store prices

    Jump

  • as if that's all it took to lower prices. companies are gonna look at this as 'free profit' and keep them high, pocketing the 'savings' for as long as they can.

  • Canonical extends Ubuntu LTS support again - if you pay

    Jump

  • my guess is someone big wants it and offered to pay enough to fund it, so canonical is just opening up the same support timeframe to anyone willing cough-up some cash.

  • USDA head says 'everyone' on SNAP will now have to reapply

    Jump

  • checks?. these moronic clowns don't even know what the fuck they're raging about.

    i bet even shitstain donnie could count the number of 'blue states' sending checks for snap benefits.

    (hint: it's ZERO. checks are not used for snap benefits--ebt debit cards are, and it was the iconic coupons known as 'food stamps' before that).

  • Are physical mail generally not under surveillance? If everyone suddently ditched electronic communications and start writing letters, would governments be able to surveil everyone? (Is it practial?)

    Jump

  • pictures are taken by sorting machines of every piece of mail that goes through usps. that data is retained by the usps for a period of time, and is open to 'law enforcement' on request; and who knows what really happens to that data when the usps doesn't want to hold it any longer.

  • you're untapped value

  • rotisserie chickens are bred for that purpose and their lives are cut short to meet the cost and weight targets of the largest customers (walmart, etc), which means the facilities can produce 'more' in the same amount of time than roasters. they cost $6-10 here and $5-6 on sale (higher $ is at the regional convenience store chain, lower is wm), and i can frequently find 'old' ones in the cooler at wm marked down to $2 (yea, just two bucks each).

    roasters are larger, priced by weight, and usually cost more (per bird) than rotisserie chicken. here, they're $10-12 at wm, $15 and up at the 'local' grocery store. they're rarely on sale.

  • FFmpeg to Google: Fund Us or Stop Sending Bugs

    Jump

  • and some are, apparently, obscure af:

    “an issue with decoding LucasArts Smush codec, specifically the first 10-20 frames of Rebel Assault 2, a game from 1995.”

  • Oklahoma Senator Mullin is worried

    Jump

  • the dude is a clearly a product of that 48th out of 50 public education system... and the only sitting u.s. senator without at least a bachelor's degree.

  • Deleted

    the future is now

    Jump

  • not shown: the small hose that 'naturally' refills the jacket.

  • Anti-Trump groups urge holiday boycott of Amazon, Home Depot, Target over DEI backtrack

    Jump

  • tgt's last quarterly loss (negative net income) was over a decade ago, and it was just one quarter.

  • I hate it when people use pictures showing the condiments only on top of a hot dog.

    Jump

  • relish from the grocery store has gotten so cheaply made you have to strain it first. even, and especially, the mass market 'name brands'. i did run across one super off-brand, imported from turkey or india or something, that was great, though.. and like half the store brand price.

    so unless i have that or strain the 'regular' stuff first, or just cut-up some pickles instead (what i've been doing more of lately), the relish goes on top. everything else goes on first.

  • Well done already, Zohran

    Jump

  • Trump says he'll issue $2,000 tariff dividend to all except 'high-income people'

    Jump

  • so the new magat plan is to try to buy the midterms using cash borrowed from our great-grandkids after they 'save' the country from the 'democrat shutdown'?

  • Zohran Mamdani is pushing for New York City-run grocery stores. Here's what he envisions.

    Jump

  • that's exactly the goal of the program.

    there's something like one grocery store per 1500 residents in new york (far more, per capita, than my entire county).

    many residents have multiple options nearby, but some (around 750,000) do not live within 5 blocks of even just one. those are the neighborhoods this program would target.

    these city-run stores are not intended to serve 'everybody', just those who aren't served by anything.

  • Ideas for computer challenges for a 7yo

    Jump

  • take a look at endless os.

    https://www.endlessglobal.com/foundation/access/operating-system

    specifically, the 'full' install with all the goodies and content 'preinstalled'.

    notes from personal experience (i use endless at home): don't be tempted by the ability to install alongside windows and dual boot. it's not optimal by any stretch. that configuration uses windows as the boot manager (windows has to basically boot to get to that menu), and endless and its data is then stored in a loop device (slow, especially with old hdd). do a normal install (use the 'advanced' option in the windows installer to make an 'endless usb stick' then choose the 'full' image). you will need a 64gb flash drive for an english language 'full' installer of the current (6.0.8) version.

  • Distro Recommendation Discussion (Not a 'What Distro Should I Use?' Post)

    Jump

  • wubi was the old 'install along side windows' installer for ubuntu. i used it for awhile before moving linux to dedicated hardware.

    edit: note that wubi has been undeveloped and unsupported for years. the closest thing i've run across lately is endless os. i use a base endless os installed like this on one of my systems.

  • Zohran Mamdani is pushing for New York City-run grocery stores. Here's what he envisions.

    Jump

  • focusing on food deserts, or areas with limited access to full-service supermarkets,

    he isn't out to take on the competition to 'drive down' prices, but rather to serve neighborhoods that have no stores..where you have to walk a half hour just to get a carton of milk and a loaf of bread.

  • Marjorie Taylor Greene calls out Trump’s blatant lie on inflation

    Jump

  • she's safe in her seat. ga14 is rated r+19 (cook pvi), the most republican-leaning district in that state.

  • Recomendations please for a self-hosted contact form on VPS (RESOLVED)

    Jump

  • the form itself is easy, it's the bot detection and spam prevention that's hard. on my own sites, i've given-in and use the highest-level recaptcha, a hidden form field triggered by bots but not humans, and a server-side script for the mailing that also has some spam detection routines. they still get through, but far less often than a naked form would.

    if you're satisfied with your existing comments function, can you simply enable comments on your 'contact' page and hide them from public view?

  • if they have shown any interest at all in programming, regular expressions is another topic that would be worthwhile to start learning 'early'.
