And so the US sends a fuck tonne of planes and troops eastward just to make it a little easier to be “accidentally” dragged into WW3

• Check all the fluids in your car, and change em / top em up if it’s been a while.
• Pack an emergency car kit. I’m sure there are loads of recommendations online, but I usually have:
  • Flashlight
  • Battery bank + charging cable for phone
  • Spare tire and wrenches (if you’ve got a charged phone, you could instead call for a tow if needed)
  • Blanket (it can get surprisingly cold at night, even in the summer)
  • Spare oil / coolant (water works as well for coolant in a pinch)
• For misc stuff I like to bring on trips:
  • A pack of water. If there’s long stretches with no towns, water is always nice
  • Sunglasses
  • If you’re going to play stuff off your phone, I’d recommend downloading music and a variety of podcasts to go. Don’t just download 10 episodes from the same channel; mix it up. And mix up the genre too. I usually will have a mix of world news, tech news, stories, and self improvement stuff
  • Snacks & other drinks

Yes! Thats it!

You ok? Sounds like you’re having a bit of a stroke there…

Ah, I see now. I had a chance to go through Smorty’s comment / post history. New Lemmy lore discovered

Tabs over spaces, always

… wait, you’re asking in asklemmy, not programming…

Uhhh… that thing where people glue little strands of hair to their forehead in an arc

Added it to my todo list!

Being honest - it doesn’t sound like you love him, but rather want to stay in his nice house.

Regardless of if you love him or not, that trust that’s needed for a stable, long-term relationship has been obliterated. Every single thing you do will be questioned, outloud or at least subconsciously. That is not going to be good for a healthy relationship.

I’d suggest that if you want to be in a happy and healthy relationship, it’s probably a good idea to move on from this one. Take time to reflect and ask yourself why you cheated on this guy - obviously you were unhappy enough to seek someone else, but what made you unhappy in the first place? It could be something about them, but it could be something about yourself too - in which case, you might want to talk to a therapist

If you did want to get back with your ex, I’d suggest giving him space and letting him decide if he wants to come back to the table, and when he wants to. If you seriously like him, don’t see anyone else until he decides what he wants to do; but put a time limit on it for your own sanity. Then, after the time is up, give up on the relationship and move on. Tell a friend of yours about your plan so they can help keep you accountable in case you may not be in the right frame of mind

I am literally dumbfounded. What in the world is going on in the US? It’s traumatizing enough to miscarry; then the justice system wants to put you in prison?

I’ve been reading a lot on pregnancy recently and from what I understand, the feasibility of pregnancy ultimately comes down to genetics and statistics (assuming you’re doing what you can to maintain a healthy pregnancy). You could be in the 3rd trimester and your baby could strangle itself on the umbilical cord. What the fuck are you supposed to do then?

We’ve got an administration that is…

• Pro life, but go to prison if you try and fail.
• Pro health, but anti vax
• Pro justice, but anti due process
• Pro Innovation, but anti employment?

The list goes on, and on. I thought we were in the stupid timeline, but holy shit - this is well beyond that now

Pro tip: you can use the plastic tabs from bread bags as little wire tags

You got me…

Finger skateboarding ramp to do sick Ollie’s off of

Sec. 4.  Using National Security Assets for Law and Order.  (a)  … shall increase the provision of excess military and national security assets in local jurisdictions to assist State and local law enforcement

Correct me if I’m wrong, but is this implying they’re planning on using the military against civilians?

I’ve actually been curious about something similar, and unfortunately I don’t have an exact answer.

I’m currently self hosting ArchiveBox which saves a copy of the web page, but I find the UI to be pretty bloated. As an alternative, I’ve been curious about LinkWarden, but I have yet to set it up.

I know those two options aren’t ideal as they don’t directly integrate with NextCloud AFAIK, but they might support your other use cases?

Yeah, 100% a whole separate post on its own. If you ask the same question in a new post, you’ll get more visibility and more answers

What ever happened to Mike Lindel - the MyPillow guy?

Heating systems in Europe are unique and have a variety of hardware and software requirements that make it challenging to build for the diverse set of homes

AKA. Europe probably has hardware and software requirements that make it so Google can’t

Credit where credit is due - I really hope Trump starts seeing the light from this point forwards
