Trump vows to deport millions. Builders say it would drain their crews and drive up home costs.

    I worked with a construction firm that hired undocumented Hispanic laborers. The owner wrapped the semi he used for hauling his offshore race boat in a gaudy Trump themed canvas for the 2016 election.

    The dichotomy of man in two sentences.

    Hackers may have stolen the Social Security numbers of all Americans. Here's what to know.
  • mr_robot2938 mr_robot2938 2mo ago 100%

    I had to give it out loud to get a one day fishing license in the state of Ohio. After filling out a ton of info including my ssn on the Ohio dept of natural resources website, I found out the website credit card processor wasn’t working. I went to a local bait shop and had to give my SSN out loud to get a license.

    I was like well, I guess I’ll blindly trust this stranger not to fuck over my life now that he has my secret number. The United States habit of basing your identity off your SSN is so incredibly stupid.

    I hate Kai Wynn with a passion. The character is so well written and acted that I had a visceral reaction whenever she made an appearance. Wynn’s manipulation of religion for her own personal gain struck a special nerve with me.

    The same actress played an equally despicable character, Nurse Hatchett Ratched, in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.

    I just switched to Pop OS, any tips on what I should do next?
  • mr_robot2938 mr_robot2938 5mo ago 100%

    Click the windowing mode icon (far left of the icons in the top right) and switch that bad boy to tiled windowing mode. Tiled windows will feel odd for a couple of days, but once you switch back to free-floating windows you’ll realize why I’m recommending tiled.

    Look up the PopOS keyboard shortcuts for moving tiled windows around the desktop and workspaces. It’s a game-changing way to use your computer.

    PopOS has been my daily driver for a year. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

    The cultured wars: Why lab-grown meat is inspiring bipartisan hate
  • mr_robot2938 mr_robot2938 6mo ago 100%

    According to Nature, the products begin with a small sample of animal cells, typically muscle cells, which are cultured in a controlled environment like a bioreactor. Provided with nutrients and a scaffold for support, these cells multiply and differentiate into muscle tissue over the course of several weeks.

    Anyone know what the scaffold is made out of? The nature article is paywalled.

    Boeing forced to scrub first crewed Starliner launch to the space station

    As much as I’d love to pile on Boeing, the article states the launch was scrubbed due to an issue with ULA’s rocket not the Boeing capsule payload.

    Uvalde schoolchildren were massacred under a sheriff’s watch. He was still undefeated on Super Tuesday
  • mr_robot2938 mr_robot2938 8mo ago 100%

    Was there nobody else willing to stand up and do the job? Even someone in the same party, with the same principles should be able to look at an assessment of the Sheriff’s department’s actions and realize a leadership change is necessary for the general safety of the community.

    If you are a conservative living in Uvalde, Texas with a couple of kids, wouldn’t you want the peace of mind to know the local Sheriff’s office is under new management?

    I wouldn’t feel safe having my kid in school with that guy in charge.

  • It always wants to ride up the sides of my bed because elastic never wants to hold it in place. When I wash and dry my sheets it inevitably spirals up in the washer and dryer so it never washes or dries properly. Then it’s a pain in the ass to try and fold neatly. I feel like I’m failing adulthood after being bested by a bedsheet.
