Wait until you tell extremist, right-wing Christians that Jesus wasn’t a white guy! Oooohhh boyyy!

Also, I think it’s important to not forget that in the internet age, a very small minority of hateful asshats can appear to have a very large voice. They are still a very small, minority group of asshats.

I’m of the opinion that if a roof can’t support a few extra hundred pounds, the entire house is compromised.

Wet snow can add thousands of pounds of weight to a roof, so a solar panel (which can actually deflect a lot of heavy snow), really should be no problem at all.

That said, it’s incredibly disappointing that home insurance companies are causing difficulties for people who want to adopt greener tech.

Funny thing is, CAA (the company mentioned in the article) will insure e-bikes without any issues (a fire risk in any home), but state that the risks of these solar panels would be problematic? I think they’re just picking and choosing what they want to cover, without any evidence supporting their position.

I wish it came down to picking and choosing based on need.

These days, for far too many people, the only consideration is affordability.

Even if you can convince someone that a $3500 e-bike is going to serve them much, much better than an $800 model, it really wouldn’t matter if they can’t afford it.

This is why government incentives (i.e. heavy rebates) should be a thing in more places.

I’m totally fine with the red indicators. In fact, I prefer them as they seem logical. Red = stop/blocked/off.

I guess the other way to do it would to have green indicators when they are switched to on, but that would not be as aesthetically pleasing (vs black).

Q: What kinds of work could potentially be dropped to increase productivity?

A: Meetings.

LOL. Oh, oh, you just hit the Achilles heel of useless management, since they have no role if not for countless meetings!

Q: Why should organizations switch to a four-day workweek?

A: The bigger question is, why shouldn’t they?

Right? Why shouldn’t they? Governments should mandate that companies instate a 4-hour work week for the same pay, unless they can prove that they can’t.

Society should stop benefiting corporations and start valuing human beings.

It starts at 2011, so nowhere near compete. Probably 20% complete.

With this be a Pay Per View comedy special? 😂

Don’t post on social media, especially under your real name.

This includes posting when you’ll be out of the house (I.e. vacation), or the details/names of family members.

Run an adblocker with strict tracker protection on every device you use, and opt for the web version of a product, rather than an app.

Use aliases and throwaway email addresses to anything that requires an account. If they end up being something you use, and are required to provide real information, move forward with caution.

Really, though, the worst thing you can do is post on social media.

Yes, but I’m sure there’s some tax benefit to calling it a food bank. #RecordProfits

I wish my Shimano 105 shifted as reliably as my 30+ year old, low-end Shimano 7-speed grip shifter system… I can’t for the life of me get it to work well over the course of a long ride. I’ve even followed the dealer’s manual to the letter.

How about the fact that more people can get dental care? Or that daycare is affordable for more families?

Don’t let an algorithm undermine actual good things that have been happening.

Is it a coincidence that a guide to identifying Nazis was right below this post? LOL

Oh yeah, there is no right or wrong here. If it suits your needs, then it’s a perfect trailer! I use mine for the grandkids, and because I have a regular cargo trailer and a Burley Travoy, my needs are met for medium/largo cargo requirements without having to use the kid’s trailer.

But, I can see it being super useful and very cost-effective if you have kids, since you can use it with or without the kids.

We have a fairly robust (and not cheap!) child trailer. Yes, it can work, but there’s so much wasted space because of the seat.

If buying used, I think you do get the best value from a child trailer, though.

I would flash custom roms all the time years ago, then I just… lost interest since most of the features I liked came bundled with Samsung phones. But Samsung phones are now (apparently) hard to flash decent custom roms on, so I do guess you’re stuck with a pixel.

Pay raise means jack all for ordinary people. Our buying power went down a lot more than 24%.

If there’s a life-or-death situation that I absolutely cannot miss, I’ll set two alarms 15 minutes apart.

But in all honestly, you should be able to wake up fresh without even having an alarm. It requires that you practice good sleep habits, including a consistent sleep schedule.

All their bikes (and bike accessories) are a tremendous value. Good luck with your search!

That Sounds Great! But Will It Work on My Phone? Currently, GrapheneOS is supported on Google Pixel devices only…

Aaaaaand, you lost me.

I’ve got so many spare phones that I’d love to install this on. Not a single one is from Google. They screwed me once with their hardware (Pixelbook), and I don’t feel like giving them any more money.

The OS itself doesn’t serve ads, but rather the apps you install and the web pages you visit.

I don’t know what phone you use, but a stock Samsung phone absolutely serves ads and tracks like crazy. You can monitor the activity with something like Adguard. Not to mention the bloat like Facebook will call home even when you aren’t using it.

So yeah, it would be nice if the OS itself wasn’t an open door for this type of crap.
