“I think for a lot of people — and people that I probably would not call preppers — it is a first and only step,” Huddleston said. “They go and buy the Costco food bucket, and then a bag off Amazon, and they throw it in the closet, like, ‘Cool, we’re done.’”

I feel personally attacked by this article (although I do have more prepared than this).

Alright everyone…back in the pile.

Fun times.

Ugly Americans was pretty wild, but Drawn Together was a whole different level of wacky.

I’m excited. After owning an OG Pebble, a Pebble Time, and a Pebble 2 I still never found anything quite like the Pebble watches.

I’ve owned many smartwatches, most recently the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4, 5, and 6. They have improved a lot over the generations and are nice in their own way. I just like the notifications and alarms on the Pebble.

I pre-ordered the rePebble Core Time 2 (what a stupid name) and can’t wait. Couldn’t justify the lower Core 2 Duo (another stupid name) since I wanted a real upgrade from the Pebble 2.

That was a fun watch, thx for sharing.

The federally accredited testing lab, Pro V&V, that signed off on “significant” changes to ES&S voting machines—which are used in over 40 percent of U.S. counties—“vanished from public view” after the election, according to the Dissent in Bloom Substack.

Yep, that seems pretty serious.

Without knowing about the specific models you mentioned, I’ll provide my generic opinion on two of the brands.

Kef overall has a good sound profile (to me at least) for the money.

Klipsch tends to be very bright sounding with a focus on the higher frequencies (again, just a general opinion).

The honest answer is supposed to be that you should listen to each of the speakers, preferably with your own source material that you already know how it should sound. The problem with that is you probably don’t have access to all models.

Thank you. Plus his “best friend” (John Goodman) was a complete dick that did nothing of benefit for him the entire movie.

Haven’t watched it in years though, so I was planning to re-watch and see if my opinion changes.

Your link is from an event in 2022. Not sure if there is a newer situation with similar circumstances.

The man should’ve had a bullet hole in his forehead.

What is this, a crossover episode?

Seems like a strawman argument.

So you’re saying it’s not fixable?

Thanks for the reminder to flush the group head.

Just print this Lemmy thread as your proof of purchase, she’ll have to believe you.

Sold. No takesie backsies on your promise.

You drive a hard bargain. I’ll accept the offer if you also promise to never stop believing in yourself. Otherwise you end up selling broken flying carpets at blowout prices.

If you buy it and don’t want to bring it back to its former flying glory, that’s fine by me. It does look pretty sexy though.

I may have picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue.

I went over and tried to count, but lost track after I ran out of fingers and toes…so there are at least 20 threads.
