  • I agree that makes a lot of sense--to your original point of targeting policies to achieve very specific goals.

  • I read another comment suggesting their efforts would actually be better spent targeting purple or barely-red states, if the goal is to really hurt Trump's support. You can only realistically change the minds of a small percentage of MAGAs, then it makes sense to target the regions where that small percent translates to a flip in votes.

    I'm not sure I totally buy the analysis, since all this tariff bullshit is as much about messaging and dick-waving as anything else, but there's probably a nugget of truth to it.

  • For whatever reason, by the 3rd panel, I was 98% sure this was going to be a joke about biting your tongue.

  • Trump accused of ‘market manipulation’ with tariff pause

    Jump

  • According to my mom, this is a good thing because he's helping regular people make money in the stock market.

    The MAGAs are actually cheering this because they think they're being invited into the club, when he's just brushing some crumbs off the table for them to fight over in the alley.

  • How much more will it cost to build a factory in America now that tariffs are in place?

    Jump

  • Or we see feudalism, scrip, slavery, or some.combination thereof

    Which, from my admittedly limited understanding, is pretty much the explicit vision of the tech billionaires like Peter Thiel who are backing Trump and his goons.

  • What exactly are tariffs and how do they work?

    Jump

  • A tariff is a specific tax on imported goods.

    The tarrif is paid by the person or company doing the importing.

    The tarrif is paid to the government of the country the goods are coming into.

    So, say I am in the US, and I order $1000 worth of goods directly from a Chinese supplier. When those goods arrive in the US, I need to pay a tax (the tariff) to the US customs department in order to receive those goods. If the US has imposed a tariif of 34% on Chinese goods, I owe the US government $340 before I can receive my goods.

  • That is a hell of a read.

  • As a library, we're not here to judge, we're here to help

  • The internet is full of bullshit advice (ESPECIALLY around sex and health issues). Doctors and therapists cost money, and frankly aren't the best way to just get basic facts and education.

    My small local library has kiosks near the exits where you can check out a book completely unassisted. I could walk in, pick out the most embarrassing book, check it out, and nobody would ever have to know.

    Thanks to a sign like this, someone who didn't know the library had such resources, and/or was too embarrassed to ask, has a better chance of accessing that info. And they also know that the library staff WANTS them to be able to access that info, further reducing any stigma they might feel.

  • Appreciate the suggestions! I love the idea of a modular 1u panel that can swap in various small devices. I think if I had to, I could probably manage to model up something custom, but that is bordering on being not-dull... 😅

  • Dang, that sounds like a beast! I thought about trying to find something like that used, but i think my wife would have (rightfully) shot me down haha.

    Printing some inserts/mounts is a great idea!

  • My bad, I thought i had listed a UPS in my post.

    Yes, I do have one on the bottom. Got it used without batteries for cheap and filled it with new batteries.

  • Pro tip: if you're not super fussy, search for AV racks instead of server racks. Many come with handy shelves and they seem to cost less, despite having the same basic functionality.

  • UPS = Uninterruptable Power Supply

    Basically just a battery backup to help ensure that a short power outage doesn't wreak any havoc, and gives the media server a chance to shut down gracefully.

  • You've also just cemented the idea that the West is evil in the families and friends of those 52 innocent people, thereby ensuring a steady supply of fresh new "terrorists".

    I've got some disk space and bandwidth to spare. No idea what i personally would do with the data, but keeping it alive seems worthwhile!

  • What music streaming platform do you use?

    Jump

  • Trust me, I hear you on the algorithmic shit.

    I dont think i have a single playlist set up, and almost exclusivly listen to albums cover to cover. All I really want is for a service to occasionally say "Hey you spent 60 hours last month listening to these 3 bands... check out these guys if you want something fresh with a similar vibe"

    Spotify did a semi decent job of that, and it's how I've discovered a few new bands, but paying $18/mo just to discover a few per year is not a great value proposition. I'd rather torrent a random album and then pick up some merch or concert tickets if I end up liking them.

  • I have not personally got to the point of trying any yet, but I have heard several times about plugins for Jellyfin that add discoverability and recommendation features.

    You still have the issue of actually tracking down the music, which Jellyseer or similar can help with. But if one of those plug-ins were to interface with Spotify or YouTube for preview purposes, that would be pretty slick!
