  • The GrapheneOS developers are giving me concerns about the future of GrapheneOS

  • The drama can be so minor too

    "How can he run our department when his favorite color is INDIGO!? I can't BELIEVE that guy!"

  • People who don't wear earphones outside - why, and what do you do instead?

    Jump

  • I think the question is best answered by reversing it. Why do you choose to listen to music?

    Now don't get me wrong I listen to a ton of stuff. I have an mp3 player for air travel and I listen to all kinds of things in my car and for my whole shift at a manufacturing job I used to have.

    But out on the street, on a bike or on the trails I never have any music on. From a practical standpoint it's simply safer to be aware of what's going on, but that's not the point for me.

    I use that time to just let my mind wander and internalize info I learned that day or to look back on things that happened recently. That boredom is soon replaced with thoughts and daydreams and feelings and memories. And it's nice to see my part of the world as it is, without any filter and seeing how places and people change day by day.

  • There was an elective college class that I took that was about movies. There were some really meh movies but one that surprised me was called Smoke. This scene here stuck with me the most because it changed the way I look at the areas I see every day.

  • Evangelicals in the US vs Protestants in Europe?

    Jump

  • It's like anything else, for every annoying or pushy christian you hear about there's dozens of others doing their thing and not bothering anyone.

    And it varies church to church too, with some really wanting to get out into the community and others keeping to themselves but welcoming people who are curious when they come to them.

  • Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons?

    Jump

  • People downvote, but you're not wrong and it's probably the most common example in rural areas

  • Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons?

    Jump

  • Idk how common it was but it's a good example of a "third place". A spot that isn't work or home where you can meet and socialize

  • What are some good uses the new ballroom can have after the Trump regime is over?

  • You can have an epic bossfight!

  • YSK - the crazy questions all jobs on usajobs.gov now ask

    Jump

  • Yeah I just wanted to emphazise your point

    And I agree efficiency is about speeding things up without losing the quality of the end result. And I think anyone that has been to a BMV can see the need for that kind of change but that's not what they are after. They seem to just charge through the red tape and warning labels to do what they want

  • YSK - the crazy questions all jobs on usajobs.gov now ask

    Jump

  • imo the questions about efficiency and commitment to the constitution isn't that crazy to ask upfront. If I remember right all federal employees have to swear an oath when they are hired. It also matches the one military officers say.

    “I, ____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”

    But note that it makes no mention of loyalty to the President directly, unlike the oath of enlistment military enlisted members say (see below). That's what I find most odd about these questions on USAjobs and what I think is crossing a line leaning towards political loyalty over constitutional loyalty.

    I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."

  • Is there a way to listen to only the radio topics I actually care about?

    Jump

  • Bob Long's weather reports are peak

  • Is there a way to listen to only the radio topics I actually care about?

    Jump

  • Yep one of my favorites is out of Akron Ohio! TheSummit.FM

    It's the only station I know that takes time to actuall play local music. They also have shows like "Cruisin' the Decades" with music from the 30s to now. That is now played on a whole ton of other stations nationwide including shortwave. Then there's "The Ongoing History of New Music" which only aired in Canada until they discovered it and picked it up.

    Publicly funded, little to no ads and NO MORNING TALK SHOW!

  • That's what podcasts are for

    Unless you start running pirate radio or open a radio station of your own

  • Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?

    Jump

  • Oh man this made me dust off an old memory

    There was a PS2 game my dad had called Dirt to Daytona. It's a racing game where you're supposed to play the career mode going from driving dirt track beaters to modifieds, trucks and finally becoming a pro nascar racer. You can tweak the cars, paint them, and try to get sponsors to fund you before your money dries up.

    It was a cool game, but all I did was play the quick race mode. I would turn off all the caution flags and played it as a crash and pit manuver simulator lol

  • Topographic map apps for mobile

    Jump

  • For having a dedicated topo setup I would recommend OSMand. CoMaps/OrganicMaps does contour lines too but you can configure things way more in OSMand and it makes a huge difference. I have both apps so here are screenshots of the same place to compare

  • I love ones that make it seems like you're talking down to a kid

    Flapjack, doof, pipsqueak, piece (as in "you piece"), dingodile, jackwagon etc.

    Shit and fuck are just spicy filler words anymore so you gotta switch it up
