Yeah. It is. And I'm not convinced these are really intended for internment. I think people are being sent there with the expectation that they will all die.
I'm kind of surprised you thought internment camps were something you'd never see in America, considering it's only been 80 years since the last time we had them.
Muni also has a free fare program if you're over 65 and have less than 100% of the area median income, which is shockingly high, over $100k for one person. It's buried in the fares section of their website, but once you find it, the application process is very easy.
"I've heard people suggest that products that last slow economies. That isn't true. They change who gets to make money."
This right here is probably the real driver of disposability. If things last, rich parasites don't make excess profits from people continually replacing manufactured goods. Instead ordinary people keep the income from repairs in their circles. Can't allow working class people to thrive, or they won't be willing to be pawns any longer.
You're not that likely to see it unless you are a target of it (or you help run an instance), because most of it occurs in DMs or as replies to specific people. It's commonplace for different groups of people to have extremely different experiences on Mastodon, and for those experiences to be largely invisible to others, just because of the way the core systems work.
So absolutely believe people who tell you they've been subjected to racist harassment, even if you have never seen that.
Belated, I know, but thank you for sharing that with me! I tried it in some muffins and it works much better than the previous mixture I had used, which for some reason used salt where this one uses starch.
I didn't have any arrowroot so I substituted cassava and that worked.
They could be. But license plate readers make identification a whole lot easier and more accurate. So on the whole, I think you're harder to surveil outside of a car, so long as you don't allow your phone to broadcast your location.
Q6. Have you seen this dual-chain redundant drive system and would you want one? (If not, have you seen any ultra-reliable designs or other unconventional drivetrains)
Oddly enough, I can't make pancakes from scratch anymore, because it appears you can no longer buy baking powder that doesn't contain corn, and I'm allergic to corn.
I can use the gluten-free pancake mix from King Arthur, so at least I can make some pancakes.
