Why not have a two stage torque process?

I know aerospace ≠ automotive but many years ago I worked in a shop and any time the wheels came off a vehicle the mechanic/tech torqued the lug nuts to spec, then a second person independently verified and re-torqued the lug nuts.

It seems like adding a network connection and all that goes with it also introduces additional points of failure, no?

Embrace the power of the pyramid.

Just use ankle for Americans, it’s less offensive to them and most of them are about three feet lower than a cunt anyways.

That would be nice weather for Christmas here in Minnesota if you moved the letter down the alphabet a bit.

As an American you have the right to be exploited, to serve and enrich the billionaire class, to fund pointless wars, to not be able to afford housing, education or really to live, but by God do you have “freedom”.

I’m amazed at how many Saturns and Pontiacs I still see on the road.

RAMs crash because they have someone driving drunk.

I agree with you in being ethically opposed to Threads but I can’t fault any instance that wants to wait for Threads to violate their policies before defederating.

I know some instances have chosen to preemptively defederate and that’s their perogative, I just don’t think all of the vitriol I’ve seen towards instances that haven’t is fair at this point.

Edit: I wanted to add that the only federate/defederate with Threads decision I would take issue with is any instance where the admin refuses to listen to the majority of its members or allows Threads to violate policy with impunity.

I’ve found for me it’s about getting out and enjoying it. Hiking with the dogs, skiing, snow shoeing, sledding, snowball fights and snowman building etc.

I found that viewing winter as a time when I’m stuck inside was super negative for me. Now I look forward to the things that winter brings and allows for.

The only tough part still is when it gets gray for long periods but I soak up the sun when it’s here.

Northern Canada wouldn’t benefit from a US rural internet subsidy.

I’m not familiar with the areas in Alaska you’re referring too but are they completely isolated outside of satellite internet? If they have electric from the grid or cellular telephone service then there are other options using existing infrastructure.

A study from 2019 found national estimates ranged from 180,000 households to 750,000 that are not connected to the electrical grid. That’s out of 131.2 million households in the US. That means adding internet to power line runs as the entire grid infrastructure is updated and buried, which it should be, would mean .006 % of households wouldn’t benefit.

I don’t know what the best solution is but I question the practicality of 100s of millions in subsidies to any private company, not just Starlink.

In my opinion it’s time for internet to become a utility and tie it into the existing infrastructure.

I’m a little torn on this because every time I’ve seen this posted on Lemmy there’re people who praise it and point out how it’s often the only viable option if you’re rural.

However, as someone pointed out, the infrastructure is not really sustainable long term, and may not be very sustainable short term it sounds like either.

We need to bury our electrical anyway, I say start in these rural areas and bury internet right along with it.

Probably 50/50. Mostly because I don’t care enough to get in an argument or have to defend what I say.

Simple throwaway comments, observations, generic opinion stuff I’ll just drop it and move on.

Anything I’m really knowledgeable in though, I’ll start and then cancel because there’s always someone who wants to challenge and argue and it’s just exhausting.
