I looked up the flock cameras near me and they are all at home depot and lowe’s, like many of them covering the whole parking lot. We don’t have day labor here so i wonder why there specifically! Maybe those companies signed up for them at all of their stores? super creepy i’m glad i know where they are now im going to avoid them!
I use them after a POC friend said they thought it was cool when white folks use them and i’ve never heard anyone complain about it before this thread. It never occurred to me before that but i have many kinds of privilege so i’ll make any simple accommodation like that I can.
that’s what ‘not the front runner’ means, harris is the front runner. the runner at the front.
it’s not ‘protecting the people’ or it would be targeted at all the people. The point is to make the poor suffer, you can tell because it’s targeted at the poor. They want people to be miserable if they are poor so they can force them into shitty jobs with shitty conditions at shitty wages and extract more value from them.
if they really cared about the people they would raise the minimum wage and increase the social safety net and help people get good jobs. notice that they are doing the opposite of these things.
fuck yeah that’s good shit
they are talking about making fire without using lighter or matches or a fire starter, just wood on wood friction the way people had to make fire before any of those things existed. An oily rag won’t help you with the difficult part; making a small coal to light your tinder.
from the name??
this is going to mess with me when i make my next account 😂
have tried 3-4 times but never even got a whiff of smoke! The region i camp in is generally described as ‘rainforest’ and while i have to assume it’s possible I am missing some trick to it.
@Alxe has it, I am now a white woman :)
I tried to see where this went it looks like Sai’s lawsuit was dismissed in 2011 and he wanted to appeal but i can’t find why he didn’t
I absolutely adore keeping the fire going. I was a white man for decades so i’m not dodging the allegations. I have never been camping where i was not the last person awake and always keeping the fire just right until all the wood was gone.
It’s all about the air flow. Too much and everything burns too quickly in a roaring furnace, too little and you have no light and not enough heat. By constantly adjusting the logs you can maintain the proper air flow to keep everything just right. Rotating a log to present fresh wood to an eager flame here. Squeezing two logs a little closer to reduce the oxygen and trim things up there. A proper fire adjusting stick (and a backup) is crucial.
Give me a stack of seasoned wood, a k-bar, a magnesium fire starter and a comfy camp chair and i’m in heaven from the time the sun sets until the wood runs out.
the dystopia seems to get more dystopian every day
https://lemmy.ml/post/34477009 I made a post about it so we can see!
edit: oh you are already in there!
i attended numerous different schools in the 80’s and 90’s and never saw or heard of one, the teachers would use the office phone when they spoke to my parents. My own kids classrooms have never had one that I have seen and we live on the opposite coast but they have spoken to us on cellphones or more recently through an app.
i’m not doubting you just surprised to hear it’s a thing my parents were split and i was a ‘problem child’ so i ended up going to a different school almost every year and im surprised i never ran into one.
I have never seen or heard of a landline in a classroom!
context, I think?
https://flowingdata.com/2025/08/08/lowes-and-home-depot-are-sharing-customer-data-with-law-enforcement/ it seems to be a concerted effort from their ceos. Guess Ace Hardware is getting my business until i learn what a POS their ceo is.
