If you keep pushing it further open it has a detent that will hold it open far enough that even my big nose won't touch it... It's an amazing design, better than a screw cap in every way. Well, at least the properly designed ones.

Sounds like a great argument for getting more progressives deeply placed in the party. Too much of the power structure in the DNC is old libs, only way to change that is to get more of us in place.

Would Bernie be more effective if he was formally a member of the Democratic Party, like how AOC is? I'm not sure, but it is telling he ran in the Dem primary instead of as an independent.

It's a game of Would You Rather and your answer is "screw you guys, I'm going home."

You can join the Democratic Party and push them towards your beliefs or you can keep pushing them further right, but either way it's only D or R for the foreseeable future.

Sorry bud, you're straight up wrong. Aerospace and defense in the US very much still uses the inch-pound-second system of units.

I'm not a concrete guy, but I know that metals and composites have material properties certified for use in civil and commercial aviation are given in psi in MMPDS and CMH-17. I would be willing to bet that concrete specifications in the US are no different.

I could keep going. Our bolts are specified in ultimate tensile strength by psi. Structural steel standards use minimum yield strengths in psi. There is literally a type of steel called A36 because its minimum required yield strength is 36,000 psi.

We should be paying for the trucks to use the roads when we buy products transported on the roads. Just like how we pay for the ships, ports, trains, and railroads used to transport other goods. The cost of transport should be part of the total product cost. Trucks should be paying road tax in proportion to the damage they do to the roads, and those costs should be passed to their customers, then to us. This is how it works with most other forms of transport.

By moving the cost of the roads used by trucks to "everyone", it makes trucking artificially cheaper and turns the cost of roads into an externality. If shippers had to pay those costs directly, I bet there would be many more goods shipped in more efficient ways.

Planet Money has some really good episodes. Unfortunately, a lot of filler as well.

You all don't get it. In the story, the interviewer is the bad guy, he's wasting his time and the time of the interviewee just to understand how valuable his team is.

The lesson to take from it is to be in touch with your team so that you don't need someone else to show you how they are.

Timothee Chalamet is in a relationship with Kylie Jenner. The character Zendaya plays in Dune kisses Timothee's character.

 

Recently I started noticing that a lot of posts will mark as read for a second then go back to unread when viewing just the image or article. It's not all posts though and I haven't determined a pattern yet, but opening the comments seems to mark as read on refresh even though the post looks unread before refreshing.

I'm on version 122 of Sync on Android.

*** Solved: it was pointed out there is a Lemmy setting that enables showing read posts, rather than a Sync setting.

At some point I think I enabled a setting to hide read posts automatically, but now I can't seem to find a way to stop this behavior. There is also no method to unhide posts. So now once I've read a post, after I refresh it is gone forever in the app.

Tried resetting all settings back to default and erased user data in android but it seems stuck, maybe to my user account?
