It’s very clear where she got her name, but it’s the reason for the difference in spelling.

They’re not the same person, district of Columbia is named after the female personification of the United States, Columbia.

Outrage generates clicks, clicks generate revenue.
We’re both here because we’re disgusted by the headline so it obviously works.

Make sure you buy one with enough cooling power to cool the room it’s in. If it’s a small bedroom you’ll want 5,000-8,000 BTU and if it’s a larger area like a living room you’ll probably want 12,000-14,000 BTU.
I just put a 12,000 BTU unit in my living room because it’s open to the kitchen and it’s about 550ft².
A good rule of thumb is 20 BTU per Ft², so my 550ft² living room/kitchen area would require at least 11,000 BTU.

That sounds like something he would do on July 4th

USA, I usually take a day or two at a time, either when I’m sick or I have a doctor’s appointment.
I get 40 hours of PTO per year and both sick and vacation come from the same pool, sick days count as “points” though and you get 3 points in a 6 month period, exceeding that is termination.
Unpaid time off isn’t an option until you run out of PTO.

Add instant potatoes until it gets to the desired thickness and add ground beef and cheese.
In college we called it “poverty slop”

It’s probably set up by the utility company to monitor either electric or water usage.

Files: always a list. Photos: preferably a grid

Honestly I prefer it to Reddit because it’s smaller and more civil.
But I won’t lie, I’ve quit Lemmy for a few days when there’s a huge news story.
I’ll go over there because there’s more engagement and updates seem to happen more frequently.
But in general I prefer it here, and I’m happy most of the people stay over there, I don’t want most of them here anyway.

Every time I have taken a job that I hated and told myself that I would only stay for a few months, I ended up trapped in it for years.
Sometimes it’s not viable to wait for something that you like though, bills need paid and mouths need fed.

Chase routinely flags my phone bill that I’ve been paying to the same company for 5+ years as “potentially fraudulent” and doesn’t allow the purchase to go through.
However, they didn’t flag a $900 purchase on Chipotle gift cards on the other side of the country as potentially fraudulent and I had to file with them and wait for them to complete an investigation.

My Grandfather.
He was a drunk and a a wife beater.
One night starting at about 10 pm he beat my grandma to the brink of death with anything he could find.
He broke the walnut coat tree over her head, beat her with the radio, whipped her with his belt, broke her hands, tired her up behind his car and drug her up and down the gravel road, burned her clothes, and left her outside in February and kept dumping water on her trying to wake her up.
He finally stopped around 5 am when he called my mom because she wouldn’t wake up.
My mom and aunt took her to the hospital and sent the cops after him.
He tried to say she did it to herself and then charged his story to say that she ran off with “a bunch of n*ggers to do cocaine”.
She was in a coma and was pronounced brain dead 4 days after it happened.

There were belt marks on her back and stomach and you could clearly read his name from his belt buckle.
I vividly remember sitting though the court hearings and testifying at 12 years old.

He went to prison, we had to fight his parole every 5 years to keep him in, because he would have killed all of us for putting him in there, for 20 years.
In 2020 he died a slow and horrible death in the prison infirmary of Covid, he suffered for weeks and not one of his children or grandchildren went to visit him in his final days.

The only way we’re going to get our country back is if we get a sane Democrat in office that rules the same way Trump does.

So it’s never happening.

You can’t play by the rules while your opponent cheats and expect anything but to lose.

If you have room for it, buy some chickens.
Tractor supply Company sells them as chicks in the spring.
This pranks the factory farm industry by refusing to give them money to continue their cruel, unsanitary, and inhumane practices.

Games need to bring back locally hosted servers.
I remember back in the day I could play Warcraft II with a friend over dialup, I’d put his number in and that modem would call his house and he’d answer with his copy of Warcraft and we could play against each other over the phone line with no server.
Even as recently as the Xbox 360 you could system link games and play on multiple consoles without any connection to the internet.
I don’t see why it would be so hard to allow for a locally hosted server on most games. They would still be playable indefinitely without need of any kind of central server system.
And they don’t need to be mutually exclusive, Halo 2 allowed for you to play both on Xbox live and system link games

Ice storm of 2004, we didn’t have power for 13 days, 10 of those days the road conditions were so bad that we couldn’t get off the farm.
We had switched over to gas heat about 5 years before and didn’t have a wood burner anymore so we had to resort to boiling pots of snow on the gas stove to keep the house above freezing.
The whole family slept in the downstairs living room adjacent to the kitchen with the gas stove in our sleeping bags and camping gear to stay warm.
On day 10 when the roads were accessible again we went to town but most places were still closed in the ones that weren’t were picked pretty clean.
We we’re able to find kerosene for the kerosene heaters and kept the house a little warmer for the next three days until the power came back on.
