How do you all keep the area around the toilet paper dust-free? in c/[email protected]

Nah. I just do little twerk and it shakes all the dribbles off.

Even more unbelievable is that anyone would spend $10-$12 on one vending machine drink in the middle of a ten minute interview.

Michigan Lawmaker Josh Schriver introduces bill to classify abortion as homicide in c/[email protected]

Lol. Abortion rights are a part of the MI constitution. All this would do is establish that some “homicide” is legal. What a kumquat.

Fairphone 6 gets a 10/10 on repairability in c/[email protected]

Huh… didn’t expect it to be available in the US. Nice!

The 5 had been on my radar, but unfortunately, I had given up on it ever coming stateside and replaced my 7yo phone just a few months ago. I hope I get to try a fairphone in 7 years when this one dies!

Great post! Thank you for all that effort

I’ve had pickled watermelon rind before 👌.
I might have to keep some rind next time I have watermelon to make preserves.

They’ve got PB&J peanut butter m&ms out now. I forget where, but I got a carton a couple weeks ago.

Had to dig for it, but it seemed relevant.

Trump lashes out at Israel and Iran: 'They don't know what the f--- they're doing' in c/[email protected]

I don’t think pointing out that it took him 79 years figure that out is giving him credit for anything

Can’t access Fedia over cellular (fedia.io)
 

Over the past few days, I haven’t been able to access fedia.io over my cellular network, but it is fine over WIFI. I don’t know if the problem is on my end or Fedia’s. Its happening on every device and browser I’ve checked on or hotspotting through my phone.

I get a “SSL error”, “can’t securely connect to server”, “HTTP ERROR 408”, or “PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR” depending on the browser.

Someone on that one site fixed a similar issue by updating the site’s DNS IPv6 configuration. I don’t know if that helps.

There is a special place in hell for modern manufacturers of devices that have a USB-C port, but won’t charge from a modern USB-C charger. (fedia.io)
 

I just went to charge my kitchen scale and it wouldn’t work until I dug out a USB-A -> C cable and plugged it into my desktop…

It just reminded me of how many devices like that I have. This scale, my wife’s sound torc, some car jumperstarters, and I think a one or two more…

I assume it’s because they just slap a usbc port on a dumb 5v circuit that doesn’t have a power negotiation controller. So the cable and the charger cant figure out the power needs of the device are and just never send any.

Does measles effect allergies? (fedia.io)
 

DISCLAIMER: I am in no way advocating for the spreading of a highly contagious and deadly disease or the abstention from safe and highly effective vaccines. But, this is No Stupid Questions, so…

Measles is known for wiping out your immune system memory and re-endangering you to pathogens you had once successfully fought off.

Allergies are when your immune system misidentifies something harmless (like pollen or peanuts) as a harmful pathogen and triggers an immune response.

So, what happens to allergies in people who get measles? Does it wipe out the immune system’s memory of the allergen? Does it expose them to develop new allergies? Do we even know whether it does anything to allergies at all, or has it never been studied? What about other auto immune diseases?

Secondly, if it does do something, is there some way that it can be utilized to help allergy sufferers? Not in the “give people a deadly contagious disease” kind of way (I’ve heard of the tapeworm thing), but is there something there that could studied and developed into a targeted drug or treatment? Or is the mechanism just too broad and dangerous.
