  • I make homemade raspberry jam. It's Certo's freezer jam recipe, and it's so easy: mash the fruit, add the sugar, stir. Add fresh lemon to the pectin, add to the fruit, stir. Leave on counter for 24 hours, put in containers and put in either fridge or freezer.

    Honestly, that's it, and it seems everyone loves raspberry jam. Or if other fruit is more within your budget, Certo has several other freezer jam recipes.

  • What is your "great I am an old person now" complaint?

  • all in the name of replacing human workers for maximum profits.

    The whole point of AI is to let the wealthy access the benefits of talent, without letting the talented access the benefits of wealth.

  • I'm also going to recommend Unified Remote Full, which lets you control your computer from your phone. Like if you're downstairs and want to quick-check something on your PC upstairs, you can just open it up and poke around for what you need.

    My only complaints are that it doesn't handle pop-up windows well, and sometimes when I use it in conjunction with Local Send, I can't complete the transfer. Edit - oh, and switching between left and right mouse buttons is a pain.

  • And this is why 22 states and DC have refused to turn over their voter rolls. And now four states [Arkansas, Indiana, Kansas and Wyoming] have agreed without the Memorandum Of Understanding, while two more [Colorado and Wisconsin] have rejected it. Eleven more states have expressed an interest: Alabama, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Tennessee, Utah and Virginia.

    The DoJ says that they need the info to "verify that only eligible people are voting" - except that the Constitution explicitly says that running elections is up to the states, and DoJ has already said they're going to share those lists with Homeland Security.

    And "Homeland Security" runs ICE, which has the ability to kidnap people out of their homes and off the streets, decide that you're not a citizen if you don't have proof with you [and claim that your valid papers are "fake" if they want to], then throw you into a "camp" before sending you to a foreign country you have no connection to.

  • Why is it always suspected trans women? Paxton probably uses ED pills, which are gender-affirming care, we can start there.

  • Also, even if you're carrying your ID with you, there are multiple cases of ICE deciding the papers are fake and arresting you anyway.

  • Florida man says his wife ‘wants a divorce’ after he lost $45,000 on an AI-generated Elon Musk car scam

  • Florida man says his wife ‘wants a divorce’ after he lost $45,000 on an AI-generated Elon Musk car scam

    Jump

  • I don't see where his wife is a gold digger. According to the article, he's fallen for repeated scams and, the way they work is that once you've fallen for one scam, they sell your information to other scammers as an easy mark. As her spouse, he probably has access to all her money; if they get divorced, she'll at least be able to protect her half of their assets.

    [Notice that it doesn't say his wife wants to leave him, just get divorced.]

  • MAGA Panics Over ‘Politically Motivated’ Brown Shooting

    Jump

  • As the investigation into the fatal shooting continued, MAGA conservatives pushed out unsubstantiated theories about the tragedy.

    Lol, they do that with every shooting, they're a bunch of paranoid conspiracy theorists and if you believe them, then every shooting is done by a trans person targeting conservatives. It's so predictable by now, you'd almost thing there were a bunch of robots just primed to spread anti-trans conspiracy and hatred at every opportunity ....

  • ‘I didn’t vote for this’: A revolt against DOGE cuts, deep in Trump country

    Jump

  • I'm holding my celebration until they actually (a) stop voting for Republicans, (b) express public contrition for their vote, (c) start actively and publicly working against the political party that brought this into being, and (d) continue until that political party is dismantled because it wasn't just "Trump" that brought this into being, it was the entire Republican party who deliberately stacked the federal and Supreme Court, who gerrymandered maps to keep their extremists in power, and who's "moderates" still toe the party line (except in a few cases where their votes don't matter, but only so they can have a couple things to point to, showing how "independent" and "Washington outsider" they are when they go home to campaign for yet another term).

  • He’s a rural Montanan whose way of life and livelihood depend on public lands.

    Translation: he depends on socialism to survive (not that he'll ever see it that way, of course).

    Hunting season had yet to open when we spoke, but Zink was already hearing from fellow hunters who had to cut their own way into trails to hunting camps after Forest Service trail crews were laid off en masse.

    Oh, no - work?!

    Ranchers and farmers use public lands for agriculture; outfitters and guides take guests into them; hunters access them regularly to put food in the family freezer; and forestry, timber and sawmill workers fulfill contracts on them for wildfire mitigation and lumber.

    Party of small government sure likes to suck the government teat.

    I spoke to people across Montana, from different professions and down the political range from independent to staunchly conservative

    Helluva range there, considering that (on a global scale) Democrats have right-wing views.

    A ranch this size, 700 private acres, could still operate without a public land allotment by leasing other private land, but that’s much more expensive — prohibitively so, for most ranchers. Down in the Southwest, he said, many ranches are a whopping 90 percent federal land allotments; it’s often much less than that in western Montana.

    Yeah, I don't care enough to finish the article.

    Edit typo.

  • Erika Kirk says 'everyone has a responsibility' to turn down political temperature in CBS town hall

    Jump

  • Weiss reiterated a question to [Erika] Kirk about whether political leaders are responsible for turning “the temperature down right now.”

    “Well, I think everyone has a responsibility to do that and I’m doing my part,” [Erika] Kirk answered.

    See, I'd have an easier time believing that if she hadn't vowed to continue Charlie Kirk's "legacy" and said:

    “If you thought that my husband’s mission was powerful before, you have no idea,” she continued. “You have no idea what you just have unleashed across this entire country and this world. You have no idea. You have no idea the fire that you have ignited within this wife. The cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry.” source

    how did you choose your career?

    Jump

  • I figured my first degree had to be something that could make me a living, so I looked where the decent-paying jobs were / were going to be at the time (and where the field wasn't saturated). I also wanted to maximize the amount of learning I was getting from college, so of the decent-paying / non-saturated majors they had, I deliberately chose a major I knew absolutely nothing about. At the time, that was programming.

    It gave me a degree to aim for and I figured if I hated it and changed my mind, it didn't really matter, since the first couple years you're mostly taking basic courses; if you change your major in the first couple years, you don't end up too far behind. And if you change it a bit later on, you can still declare your previous major as a minor, or do a double major.

    Turns out, I really liked it, was good at it, learned an awful lot, and got my major in it.

  • Dawson County, Nebraska voted for Trump. And now 1/3 of them lost their job

    Jump

  • I also read on another thread: many of the plant workers are immigrants and there's been increasing tension between the workers and the "native" townies. So there's a decent contingent of town folk who are happy the plant is closing, and think their communities will adjust to living without the plant workers spending their money locally.

  • Trump administration says sign language services 'intrude' on Trump's ability to control his image

    Jump

  • “would severely intrude on the President’s prerogative to control the image he presents to the public,” also writing that the president has “the prerogative to shape his Administration’s image and messaging as he sees fit.”

    You don't get to control your image, other people and organizations do that. You can try to shape your image, but again your image is how other people see you and you can't control that.

    I'll add that I can't imagine trying to be a sign language interpreter trying to make his word salad comprehensible on the fly.
