MelodiousFunk@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Yahoo lays off the leaders of EngadgetEnglish0·1 year agoI used to enjoy the old Joystiq site. Followed them to Engadget. Hell, I used the Joystiq url redirect bookmark until it stopped working. Might as well just delete the bookmark now, no sense it watching it slide further into irrelevancy.

No… but you probably just aroused a few dozen ammosexuals.
MelodiousFunk@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•These States Are Basically Begging You to Get a Heat PumpEnglish0·1 year agoGetting a heat pump has been on my want-to-do list for years. But even though my furnace is aging, it still works so it’s been hard to justify while there were other issues going on. Accelerating adoption is only going to make the process easier when the time comes.
MelodiousFunk@startrek.websiteto politics @lemmy.world•Tammy Murphy gets key placement on many NJ primary ballots, since Democratic bosses say so0·1 year agoYeah, this shit happens all the time in NJ. Related to someone powerful? Here, have a free political position!
Andy Kim is getting my vote in the primary but with Murphy getting anointed like this, the full weight of the machine is going to be behind her.
MelodiousFunk@startrek.websiteto politics @lemmy.world•Dem Lawmaker Rips GOP Reps To Their Faces: 'You Bend The Knee To The Orange Jesus'0·1 year agoIt’s almost as if political dynasties/neoptism/cronyism shouldn’t be a thing. Fuck Trump. And fuck Menendez. And Kennedy. Bush, Clinton, Cheney, Paul, Ashcroft, and probably dozens of others that aren’t coming immediately to mind.
Form the minute lil Robert declared he was running, the local media simply treated him as the heir to his dad’s old seat. Because it was true. He cruised on connections, many of them because his daddy is a crook. I’m hoping Andy Kim can primary senior if he wriggles free again, but Murphy’s wife is also running and would you look at that, now we’re right back at unqualified people pretending they can govern just because of who they’re related to.
Maybe one day junior will prove that he’s not just riding coattails as a golden boy. But it’s going to take more than an outburst to do it.

“Nepo baby of corrupt scumbag throws tantrum, makes good points; still nepo baby who had positions handed to him on silver platter”
MelodiousFunk@startrek.websiteto politics @lemmy.world•Trumps Throw Tantrum Over Court Monitor’s Financial Bombshell0·1 year agoHe tried blackjack already. Poor guy couldn’t figure out how to keep multiple casinos, an industry known for basically printing money, afloat. Truly baffling considering what a genius businessman he is.
Is it weird, as a tail end gen x/elder millennial, to really hope Lehrer was right about this one?

MelodiousFunk@startrek.websiteto Risa@startrek.website•Best character in the entire franchise (OC)English0·1 year agoWe just watched that one last night after a week and a half of dealing with heavy shit that still isn’t done yet. Not really the episode I would have chosen to dip the toes back in after trauma, but that’s what was up next. Still a great ep.
MelodiousFunk@startrek.websiteto Voyager@lemmy.world•I am on iOS. Sometime Voyager is fine to switch in and out of for multitasking. However other times, (like right now) it reloads my feed every time I switch apps.English5·1 year agoI’ve noticed that other apps reload more frequently when Voyager is open, as well.

Agreed. And in gif/video heavy communities, it really bogs things down.
