Second this, Pihole is great and protects every device on your network too - mobile phones, smart TVs, tablets, Nintendo Switches, etc.

It's wild how much telemetry is baked into stuff that you can just cut the nuts off of.

You've heard about how having more money helps you win in court? This is how.

Despite the ridiculous claim, the plaintiff will still have to spend money, resources, and time arguing against this.

Guaranteed the Disney legal team has dozens of additional cards they could play to stall the system and discourage the family.

Hopefully the case was assigned to a no-BS judge

Whack-a-mole. Once banned, a scammer will just sign up with someone else's ID.

I mean, that's kinda what they are pros at already, right?

Scientifically speaking, is interesting that the Japanese meteorological department can suggest there's a heightened risk at the moment. Maybe dangerous construction or nuclear facilities could enact some precautions or delay some activities?

But I don't understand how that information is actionable. It looks like some beaches were closed where tsunamis could be particularly deadly.

But what are the people supposed to do? And for how long?

The article mentions that a large quake follows a 7.x quake maybe one out of several hundred times.

So is Japan going to issue these warnings hundreds of times before there's any result? That is kind of the definition of a warning that people ignore.

The authors also assessed 14 lifestyle factors commonly associated with physical and mental health, including smoking, alcohol use, physical inactivity, poor nutrition and sleep, finding most were significantly associated with all three mental health measures.

It seems like we conclusively know now that physical health is crucial to support mental health. Exercise, nutrition, sleep, limited stimulants and depressants, and yes, maintaining a healthy weight are core factors to fight depression - perhaps more effective than any pharmaceutical available - and other mental health decline.

Does anyone remember the inside jokes in the early days of reddit?

When does the narwhal bacon? Orangered Chuck Testa!! Ridiculously photogenic guy And of course the long list of meme-level posts like broken arms, cumbox, celebrity AMAs

This type of community humor made a lot of people feel like they'd found their tribe on reddit in those early days.

I haven't seen much like this develop on Lemmy yet, possibly because there's so many disparate communities merging. I'm not really sure. Or maybe all those 20-something redditors are now pushing 40.

I think it will take a while for a lemmy culture to develop and the community won't attract outsiders much until it does.

This poster asked some questions in good faith, I don't understand the downvotes when there's a legitimate contribution to the conversation because that stifles other contributions.

The name "JD Vance" is already somehow moldy

 

Are you doing anything to protect yourself or your home from the risk of a fire?

 

This scooter features dual 4000 watt motors and can achieve 60+ mph speeds straight and level. But why?

This speed is surely deadly in the event of a crash and it's hard to image it would even be fun to ride at such a speed.

 

Has micromobility already changed your commuting habits? What about your selection of place to live?

I live in a huge city with gridlocked traffic, and an e-scooter enables selecting (much) cheaper condos further away from the public transportation.

 

Hopefully as micro-mobility takes hold, more and more cities will create spaces for parking and charging electric vehicles.

 

A new generation of e-scooters with solar panels means never needing to plug in. Is the trade off in weight and size worth the added flexibility?

 

Solid state ceramic batteries may greatly advance the future of micro-mobility. They promise higher energy density and less susceptibility to thermal runaway and can be used in a wider temperature range.

 

E-bikes are not bicycles

The article makes a strong assertion that e-bikes are something entirely different than regular bikes and should be regulated separately.

Do you think e-bikes should always be allowed to follow the same paths and rules as regular person-powered bicycles? Or should communities treat them as something different?

 

This creative way to increase the adoption of micro-mobility is similar to the tax credits offered by the US federal government around electric cars.

Is it likely to draw more interest from the community? Would you be more encouraged to purchase an e-bike if you could get a voucher?

 

The era of more regulation may be upon us - if New York enacts more rules, it's likely that other cities will follow and insurers may even begin to exclude liabilities from Lithium battery fires.

What can the industry do now to regulate itself? Is there some reasonable amount of safety regulation that can save lives without dramatically increasing costs?
