Folding is the worst.

At least with my laundry when I take an article of clothing out of the basket to fold you can tell the volume in the basket is reducing. Each item is large enough that the difference is notable.

But when I take a piece of kids’ clothing out, it’s not noticeably less in the basket. It just feels like an endless amount of clothes.

This is a pretty silly mindset. I cook every day. I like to use high quality tools for my cooking. That includes high quality kitchen knives. Those shouldn’t be dishwashered. It ruins the handles and dulls the blade.

Same with my nice cast iron pans. And wooden cutting boards.

I also have several very large pots/bowls/etc that are just too large to fit in the dishwasher.

The dishwasher is an extremely useful tool, but it’s pretty ridiculous to limit what kitchen tools you’re willing to use simply because they aren’t compatible with another kitchen tool.

You do know the DNC doesn’t run presidential campaigns, right? They funnel money to the campaign, but the campaigns are run by campaign managers hired by the candidates.

If the fascists truly believed your votes don’t/won’t count in the future, they wouldn’t be working so hard to take away voting rights.

I think we’re dangerously close to a point where voting won’t matter, but we’re not there yet. Look at the Wisconsin Supreme Court race a few weeks ago. Elon Musk got involved and personally spent more than $25 million to try to buy the race. He was directly paying off voters to vote for the Republican. There was nearly $100 million spent on the race, an overwhelming majority of which was spent by/for the Republican.

Yet the Democrat won with like 10 percentage points more of the vote. She blew the Musk funded fascist out of the water. It wasn’t even close.

If voting really didn’t matter at all, do you really think that would have been the outcome?

If voting really didn’t matter at all, would they be actively trying to strip voting rights away from women right now?

Don’t fall for the fascist propaganda. Voting still matters. It’s not the only thing that matters. We should all be way more engaged in politics than merely voting. But voting still matters, too.

Only 20 minutes?!?! I do have a dishwasher, and I still spend well over 20 minutes hunched in front of the sink cleaning dishes that can’t go in the dishwasher every day.

Not OP, but I’m 6’6" (200 cm). I’m ALWAYS hunching over in the kitchen.

With kids it’s so much worse. I clean the entire kitchen at least 3 times a day, usually more.

Did you see him drop Ohio State’s trophy the other day?

Maybe he dropped the Pope?

Pat the bunny recently came out of retirement and released a new album called Friends in Real Life. It’s quite good, as is pretty much everything he’s ever done.

I haven’t noticed any moderation issues on lemmy.dbzer0.com

Mind if I ask what exactly you feel like is being censored?

I could go on a sub like NoStupidQuestions or AskElectricans, etc where someone would ask a question about some super obscure topic I happen to be knowledgeable on. I could write a long, in-depth response which would then get dozens of responses and further questions. I’d be engaged in the same conversation about this topic or that for days.

Here, it feels like 99% of conversations are about IT/programming, which is not my field, or about American politics.

If you wanna get into a really heady topic, see what happens when you put a piece of strut or gnd wire or another power wire in between parallel runs of power wire per phase on a three-phase AC system

I did a tenant fit-out in a new building where the base-building was still under construction by a different electrical contractor when we started our buildout. The building had a penthouse switchboard that was fed with 5 parallel sets. Except the other EC pulled it as 1 phase per conduit. So they had 1 conduit with 5x a-phase conductors. Another with 5x b-phase, etc. Even 1 conduit with just 5x EGCs.

I noticed it because we had to pull a new feed into their switchboard right before permanent power got turned on to the building. This was literally the day before the utility was supposed to turn on power, They were this close to turning on a 2000A feeder with a single phase per conduit. And it was all metal conduit. They’d have burned that whole damn building down.

I told them they did it wrong and were going to start a fire. They didn’t believe me at first, so I had to escalate it to my GC’s safety coordinator, who had to bring it to their safety coordinator. They refused to call the utility to cancel turning on permanent power, so my safety guy and I had to intercept the utility guys when they showed up on site to tell them not to turn on power. Man was that other EC’s foreman PISSED, but he eventually did have to pull it all out and repull it correctly.

this made me completely lose any sense of my place in reality

This is precisely why they used to (and still are sometimes, although not as often) be used for pilot and astronaut training. All the astronauts who went through the early Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo missions trained on one.

I went to Space Camp for a week when I was like 13. We all got to go in one for a bit. It makes you very dizzy.

Really just the quantity of people, especially on ask subs. Lemmy just feels incredibly empty. And the breadth of topics people discuss here is extremely small.

The censor specific words in comments rather than just deleting a whole comment? That’s some shit.

I was pretty active there, too! I had a long post about the differences between grounding and bonding that was stickied to the sidebar for a while. I think it’s still there…

Multiple accounts just gets exhausting

a semiliquid mixture of flour, egg, and milk or water used in cooking, especially for making cakes or for coating food before frying.

I trust, then, that you got out there to add yourself to the numbers? The next big day is May 3. What are you doing to increase these numbers so we can surpass the 5% mark?
