What?!!! My God, NO!!! Permanent standard time is what God intended. Enough of this daylight savings crap!! we only started daylight savings time because the government thought it was a good idea 🙄

@TaraHeyer96826 I generally agree, but I'm willing to accept permanent DST if it stops the semiannual time change.

@Politicalmom66 Your business and schools have the option of changing operating hours

Come on, Idaho! Do you want darkness until almost 9 am in the winter? Our kids out in ten degree weather in the dark? The country tried it once and it lasted less than a year!! Call our useless reps and tell them NO!
Save Standard Time@SaveStandard
🚨 US House Energy/Commerce Committee today amended the Sunshine Protection Act into the Motor Vehicle Modernization Act. If approved by Congress, it would mandate permanent Daylight Saving Time in all states that don’t self-exempt in advance, with no option for exemption after taking effect. 🧐 Permanent DST is a mandate to start work/school an hour earlier than Standard Time in unnatural darkness all winter. It would put sunrise in most states past 8am for 3+ months, and past 8:45am for 1+ weeks. It chronically deprives sleep, decreases productivity (by 5%), and increases illnesses and accidents (by 20%). It was last implemented in the US in 1974 and repealed the same year following deaths and disruptions to commerce. 👉 Tell your US House reps asap to amend MVMA (H.R.7389) to remove SPA (H.R.139) or to reword for nationwide restoration of permanent Standard Time with a clearer option for the minority of states to choose unhealthy/unsafe permanent DST by advancement of their own time zones if so strongly desired (though why DST proponents don’t simply start their own days an hour early remains boggling).

@ahouse4all Dude saved far more than $400 a year with his cheap lunches.
English
You do all this, and your landlord still raises your rent $400 a year for no reason, losing you any money you saved living on beans and rice.

@Marks_Tech Stand in lake water behind a pontoon boat and put a wrench on the positive terminal. For a little extra jolt, make sure your hand is wet. It may not electrocute you, but you won't forget it either.

Lol I blame the movies. A 12v battery isn't gonna shock you.
Kateregga Philemon@Philemonkats
We have men that fear touching car battery terminals because they think they could be electrocuted.

@BarbellFi If he wants to retire at 40, it's not the guac he should be worrying about, it's going any restaurant. It's not the ad free subscription, it's any subscription.
English
My buddy wants to retire by 40
But his wife is getting in the way
Told me she:
Adds guac at Chipotle
Takes long hot showers
Drinks bottled water only
Pays for Netflix without ads
Leaves lights on in the house
She gets mad when he brings it up
And they fight a lot about it 😬

@susansawesome @Demeter_Erinia Whoa whoa whoa, men used maps sometimes well, sometimes poorly, but we never asked for directions.

@Demeter_Erinia Women used maps, or asked directions. Men drove around lost, but wouldn’t admit it.

@BrookeAnnM24867 @jenniferzeng97 I guarantee he noticed, but he chose to roll with it. I'm sure Trump used the same technique in his business life.
English
@jenniferzeng97 Because jin needs to be the taller man. Power and control. :) Trump is too self absorbed to notice. :)
English
As far as I know, Trump is 12 cm (4.7 inches) taller than Xi Jinping.
Why does he look shorter when they sit down?
This is how “confident” Xi Jinping is.
English
@jenniferzeng97 It's a very common power move, common in many c-suite offices. You put the other person in a low, soft but uncomfortable chair. While you sit on a higher perch looking down on them. It's a jerk move on China's part and I'm sure Trump took notice.

@Robotbeat Even where there is plenty of water, it can take a couple of years to get water treatment built/expanded and pipes run many miles to a new industrial area. It's a very limiting factor on the speed of growth. Many aren't willing to wait that long, so dry cooling it is.
English
The problem with closed loop cooling is it’s less efficient so it makes the more-real problem of energy consumption worse just to make the mostly-fake problem of water consumption better. It’s performative.
Gatorsmom 🐭🔫@Beezerally
This. All day. Every fucking day. This. Closed loop cooling is (s/b) the standard for every new DC being built especially those housing AI. And they are. Period. End of story. Stop complaining from your devices whose entirety is stored within and run through DC’s. FFS

Man, I’m really worried about consumers.
Not everyone’s tech savvy enough to know this ad is completely AI, and they’re not actually showing the product they’re selling.
AI ads are going to really take advantage of people.

@MargoinWNC On the plus side, you should always pass. It's about time they stop requiring them for anyone. They don't do a real emissions check on cars anymore, no probes are stuffed up the tailpipe and measuring emissions. All they do is check onboard diagnostic codes.

NORTH CAROLINA literally makes me get an emissions test on my TESLA.

@Cryptoboyy_Aji Not his MO. You have $100,000 in other debt, sure, he'll say to use 19 of that 20 grand to pay that debt first. But the 3-6 month emergency fund is built before you pay down your mortgage early.
English
CALLER: i opened a High Yield Savings Account. my $20,000 emergency fund earns 4.5% interest. that’s $900 a year doing nothing.
DAVE RAMSEY: get rid of it. put that $20,000 toward your mortgage!
CALLER: but i’m earning $900 a year for free.
DAVE RAMSEY: debt is the enemy! pay off the house!
CALLER: my mortgage rate is 3%. i’m earning 4.5%.
DAVE RAMSEY: that’s not how you get rich!
in reality, if your savings rate beats your debt rate, keep the cash. that’s called arbitrage.
every dollar matters.

@Corbienest I was taught to do that on a hill, turn the tire into the curb so the car doesn't think about running.

@GigaBasedDad You make more money dealing with the 3 hours of traffic. You'll die young from the hectic lifestyle, but with more money.

serious question
what is the mechanism by which a data center makes tap water brown
Wall Street Apes@WallStreetApes
Residents in Cumberland County, New Jersey say they can’t even wash their clothes or drink their tap water because of the new META Data Centers - On resident messed up an entire load of white clothes because it came out stained because of the brown water - Multiple residents say they can no longer drink the water and must buy bottled water - 82 year old resident says she must move - 81 year old resistant also says she has to move - Another resident says “My electric and gas bill is more than my car payment” - One resident says the lights from the data center are so bright she doesn’t have to turn night lights on in her house at night - ER visits are being reported due to asthma linked to air quality Drastic increases in water pollution, air pollution, noise and light pollution

@ParkerKSmith @alexthechick They paint lines on the road showing you a lane, for your use. They shouldn't have to spell it out for you.
English
@alexthechick They need signs telling people to use both lanes, if that’s supposed to be the deal.
English
There is a zipper merge on my way to work every day - you know what happens? The people who have had two miles notice that the right lane ends fly up at 70 mph and then whip over like it is their right from God, even when people, like, say me, have left room to merge for a mile.
Frank フランク@richardrahl1086
Proof people don't understand the zipper merge.
