    It's also good for keeping wasps from building nests for the same reason

    (Or after reading the wiki, maybe an indirect one relating to the use of lye in the paint)

    At one point, it was thought to be very safe because of its fire resistance, treated as a miracle material. many buildings throughout the world were made with asbestos, and many still exists.

    for the most part it is only harmful when disturbed, either when mining and processing, or when destroyed.

    Oh don't be so condescending, it was an attempt by all common definitions. And further, the FBI themselves is investigating the issue as an assassination attempt.

    Not only do I think you are confused, I think you're being a bully about it and should check yourself.

    It's one thing to think about, and even to write about it publicly (which he did)

    But this guy, also went and brought his gun, scope, and armor to the place trump was known to be, waited for 12 hours, and then was finally caught one hole before trump would've been in sight if the early reports are to be believed.

    If it is not an assassination attempt, what else could've it been? The guy made explicit public posts about assassinating trump, then went to where trump was with a gun, and then waited for trump to be in the sights of his gun. To me it sounds like the security agent interrupted his attempt at assassinating trump, not anything else.

    I think it would be easy to suggest that, had that agent not interrupted that guy, he would've tried shooting at trump.

    By no means do I support trump, but, my hate for him isn't so strong for it to deform reality I hope.

    This site is worse than a repost

    The source is a reddit post it seems and Hindustan times is just doing a highlight reel of that post without linking it. Hindustan times has a low credibility score from https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/hindustan-times and didn't add any journalism

    ~~Searching it's quote's (being forced to use Google, since they pay Reddit to index them ...) it comes from this article https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/1fb097q/where_would_you_report_this_kind_of_behaviour/~~

    And doing a quick skim of comments there was no additional clarity.

    So... Probably not real

    UPDATE: I found the source, from yelp, with the name uncensored: https://www.yelp.com/biz/maxines-sparta

    It's a small restaurant in Michigan, there's already people giving them flak and bad reviews, so please don't add to that

    I agree, I don't like all the self censorship that I think comes about from algorithms like tiktok - I'm not talking about ideas, but instead about literal words replacement censorship like "unalive" "seggs" and that like

    I want people to be bold enough to use the real word - at least in irl conversation.

    It feels way too much like Orwell's Newspeak

  • On average, at least 1 car crashes into a 7-Eleven every day, $91M settlement reveals

    Roughly 12,600 7/11's in the US, so a 0.01% chance of any individual 7/11 getting a car on a given day, or a 1 in a thousand chance.

    According to this https://slate.com/business/2022/06/car-crash-buildings-how-many.html about a 100 cars crash into buildings each day, so 7/11 makes up 1% of building crashes, but that tracks since a lot of people go to there for quick needs with distracted minds.

    I don't have much of a point, but the statistics don't paint a some scary point that I think the lawyers are trying to make.

    I think we're saying the same thing.

    We can't go into the 2028 general strike thinking about self preservation - we can't go into the 2028 general strike unprepared.

    We have less than 4 years to lay the ground work for a success that cannot be defeated by the capitalist class.

    In my mind, that means all the above:

    • Voting allied people into federal, state, and local governments who won't massacre us this time, including sheriffs and mayors and governors and judges

    • Gathering people together to understand each other and build rapport and trust

    • Building the list of goals and demands so we have a definition of success that can be capitulated

    • Organizing support networks to ensure we don't starve or get evicted and etc, while on strike

    The capitalist class will have an intelligence operation, they will know if they can simply wait us out or exploit weaknesses - if we prepare right, they will know that their best option is to give into our demands. The more prepared and united we are, the faster they'll surrender.

    Those that can save, should, so that they can help their neighbors and colleagues who can't.

    We are only powerful if we work together, and that means those that can save excess money, should, and also be bold enough to offer support, and those that can't should prepare in other ways like organizing and promoting, and be bold enough to seek support when they need it.

    We win this together, not individually.

    I enjoy NSFW when seeking it out, but I don't like being bombarded with every NSFW post in the lemmyverse at all times. In the settings I only see all on or all off. In the old sync I remember there being an option to hide NSFW on the main pages, but to show them when you go to a specific sub, I'd like that again.
