I'm a systems librarian in an academic library. I moved over the Lemmy after Rexxit 2023. I've had an account on sdf.org since 2009 (under a different username), and so I chose this instance out of a sense of nostalgia. I do all sorts of fiber arts (knitting, cross stitch, sewing) and love dogs.

  • Poll suggests GOP effort to smear Tim Walz didn’t work at all

  • I've definitely been going 10 mph in city, signaled to turn, tried to slow down, and just coasted past my turn because that's how fresh snow over ice behaves. That's with traction control and ABS.

  • USB hand warmers are your friend. Layers of clothing, so you can get less dressed once you get where you're going. If you drive in the snow, pretend your brakes have been cut and so you need much more stopping distance. Gloves that have capacitive finger tips so you can use your phone while wearing them are awesome. Walk like a penguin (shuffle feet, short steps center of balance always above your feet) on ice, so you don't slip and fall. Snow is reflective, like the ocean, so sunglasses are nice in winter.

  • It's 4-wheel drive, not 4-wheel stop. (Ok, technically brakes can be on each wheel, but that still won't help in sufficient lack-of-friction)

  • I've read that story, too. Still might be bullshit, but who would tell false story about sex on the Internet?

    Edit: found it, or at least an example

  • Ohio sheriff suggests residents keep a list of homes with Harris yard signs

  • I associate it with trying to bring Christ into politics. For example, see this group's mission statement.. I've not dug into it much more than that, just enough to know it's currently a right-wing whistle and I ought to avoid anyone currently enamored with it. My local church only started displaying it after Justice Alito's wife caused a stir by flying it.

  • A church near me has an Appeal to Heaven flag. It creeps me out.

  • Save the kid!

  • I was just as alert after the first 3 alerts as after the 8th. The additional alerts didn't tell me anything new, they just gave me alarm fatigue.

    And yes, it was bad. Roads were flooded. Buildings were flooded. People were evacuated. People died.

  • I finally went in and did this a couple weeks ago. We were under flash flood advisory and every time the end timestamp was updated, we got another "severe" alert. I didn't need 8 very loud alerts going off over the course of a quiet evening at home.

  • TIL there's such a thing as vegetarian Spam

    Jump

  • TBH, I'm not convinced regular Spam is trying to act like meat. Sometimes people just want a hunk of spiced protein.

  • Agreed, it's pretty great. And while the computer sometimes misunderstands what you swipe, it will show you potential alternatives you can tap on. Like in this screenshot:

  • You can also ask a librarian for help. We like finding things and might be able to get a copy through interlibrary loan or other connections. We also like girl scout cookies, especially the ones with coconut.
