  • Sewer line is sagging, so there's a 30ft section that is trapping anything that gets flushed or drained. I called them out to fix a backup, and they found why it backed up alright.

    He had to leave to get a better locator to see exactly where in the yard/street would need to be dug up, but it seems to be pretty close to the city connection, so probably in or near the street, which could make the cost that high if it involves excavating the road.

  • About 10 minutes ago my plumber said my problem may cost in the neighborhood of $30k to fix. Yay.

  • What is something that desperately needs to be standardized?

    Jump

  • There are 14 competing standards. We need to develop one universal standard that covers everyone's use cases.

  • Chief Justice John Roberts says that hostility toward judges has ‘got to stop’

    Jump

  • Anyone can be nominated, so it depends entirely on who is President at the time.

    Roberts himself was (briefly) a nominee for associate justice when William Rehnquist died, but Bush pulled that nomination and put his name in for chief instead. So it doesn't even have to be a current Supreme Court Justice who replaces him.

    For an appearance at South by Southwest in March, she wore a custom T-shirt that parodied one of Zuckerberg’s own design. Where his is emblazoned with the phrase “aut Zuck aut nihil,” a riff on the Latin “either a Caesar or nothing,” hers read “mundus sine caesaribus”—“a world without Caesars.” (The company started selling the shirts for forty dollars apiece and made more money in a day than it had in two years of selling domains.) In Bluesky’s founding documents, taking a lesson from Twitter’s history, Graber introduced a slogan: “The company is a future adversary.” In other words, they must design their platform today in such a way that, even if new leadership eventually jettisons their guiding principles, the thing they’ve created will remain impossible to abuse.

    I'm sure they can't sell t-shirts forever, but the idea behind the ATProto is that your data is portable, so even if some asshole billionaire buys it up, you can just move to another compatible service with minimal disruptions.

    Compatible services are limited, but there are options. https://help.eurosky.tech/article/9-migrating-to-eurosky

  • It's nearly a year and a half old, but this bsky blog post answers some of the future revenue questions:

    In addition, we will begin developing a subscription model for features like higher quality video uploads or profile customizations like colors and avatar frames. Bluesky will always be free to use — we believe that information and conversation should be easily accessible, not locked down. We won’t uprank accounts simply because they’re subscribing to a paid tier.

  • In a zombie apocalypse where do you hold up assuming you can secure any location you chose?

    Jump

  • You want someplace with the infrastructure to support lots of people (or a few people for a long time), but little local population to compete for those resources. National parks are generally well stocked, with water and lodging to support peak tourist season, but at least in the western US, most are pretty far from major metropolitan areas.

    Grand Canyon and Yellowstone have a lot to offer in a zombie apocalypse.

    Successful psychopaths are very good at imitating normal emotional responses, which they learn over decades of observing normal people. But when facing a novel situation, they have no such learning to rely on, and their jarringly cold responses reveal their hollow interiors.
