I just realized I can start a fight by editing this to be about tater tot hotdish. Could make for a fun evening.

At least Minnesota has a chance to replace her senate position with someone more progressive.

I hope so, but it’s far from a sure bet.

I fully agree with you about her and think we can do better, and she’s had quite a bit of luck, but there’s more than that.

Historically she’s been very popular in outstate MN for reasons I don’t fully understand but I’d be very curious about the percentage of business owners in rural MN (and people who think they’re business owners like victims of MLMs). In the polarized MAGA era that effect has declined significantly and she only outperformed down ballot Dems by a few percent. I’m not sure that matters anymore though.

Sadly, she’s indicated she’ll be picking her own replacement. It’ll probably be Angie Craig (ugh) but the MPR article I pulled up to check mentions that she could totally pick a “big city mayor” and Klob has the chance to do the funniest thing ever - Mayor Frey gets to be a weasel on the national stage for a bit only to get primaried out of politics entirely while Minneapolis can get anyone else as mayor.

A TeX Mex hot pocket would be interesting and probably not in a good way. They weren’t great when I went vegetarian fifteen years ago and given how everything has gone downhill I assume they’re nearly inedible now.

I sincerely hope all of those countries have ubiquitous bidets.

I bet Mamdani could talk him into signing something. Trump may have ordered a VETO hat, but did he remember why he got it when it arrived?

I used to know a librarian in her 20s who was legally deaf without her hearing aids, but her work insurance wouldn’t cover them so she’d have to go on Medicaid to have them covered and then she could work again. The whole situation is absolutely stupid and needs to be fixed.

It’s a satirical short story by Kurt Vonnegut where egalitarianism and fascism combine to handicap above average people. I had it assigned for reading in a gifted type class in the fifth grade, politically it’s a choice.

Harrison Bergeron but we improve the worst?

There are freshwater sharks, but sadly none in the Great Lakes.

I want Elizabeth Warren for the Senate. Bernie is out due to being an independent, and it’s a bad position for anyone with a future in politics because whoever is picked is going to get some mud on them, but Warren is never going to be president and she’s hit retirement age so if not now it’s never. The far left of the base justifiably hates her for not dropping out of the primary against Bernie but she’s legitimately progressive enough to be a good choice while still being able to wrangle the right wing of the Democratic party.

Someone dumped a CRT on the bike path I take to work, and I strongly considered strapping it on the back of my bike but a 60 lb TV is pushing the weight limit of my ebike and it seemed miserable to try to ride four miles with that thing.

It’s pretty much what it says on the tin, shit just works. There’s one admin I don’t like and I’m half assedly considering switching instances but it was a once off shitty transphobic take, and it doesn’t seem to affect his moderation, and it’s old drama I’d rather not rehash. I wouldn’t consider the entire instance transphobic though, and I haven’t seen any moderation issues along those lines.

I wonder if that’s the hot water heater for the whole house? Looks a bit small and it’s odd to mount that on the wall unless modern stuff is just that good.

Something about this seems like someone’s partially finished basement and it’s a Pittsburgh potty, which answers some of your questions at least.

Yeah I assume Pillsbury uses the same dough for whatever they can.

I’ve never tried it but a croissant crust pizza sounds tasty and probably a bit too rich to buy more than once.

DiGiorno probably doesn’t use the Pillsbury dough although that wouldn’t be weird if they were owned by the same company - they’re not though and unfortunately Digiorno is owned by Nestlé.

They changed the cans, there’s no spoon needed for the Pillsbury ones anymore (but store brand ones, at least Aldi, still do need the spoon). I baked a couple of tubes of the Pillsbury croissants yesterday, no spoon. They have the taste and texture of the biscuits which means they fail as croissants but they’re still pretty tasty.

Maybe there needs to be a third term where using the machine as a centaur changes the behavior and brain of the operator?

Over in the fuck cars communities we call it carbrain when driving does this to people but I’d be surprised if there wasn’t a more general term.

Lemmy World has a word filter. You could take it up with the instance admins but I wouldn’t bother. Not every instance has it enabled and some instances have it set more aggressively than LW. Maybe consider switching instances.

My instance doesn’t have a word filter but idk what happens if I post one in a community on an instance that does have one.

If this is a dead end and doesn’t lead to the all powerful AI, will all of the people supporting this false God “intelligence” be punished for wasting time and money that could have otherwise been spent on the one true God?

Osceola county is huge, parts of Disney are in Osceola county, it’s basically a suburb of Orlando.

And I’m fairly certain that I’ve been in the sheriff’s office in the thumbnail pic but at no point in time could I have told you what the local sheriff sounded like.
