That was my dog's name. Named after the character from I love Lucy, though.

Sadly no. She's dropped her support for Medicare for all. We'll be closer than likely ever before, and we might get an option to buy in to Medicare or Medicaid, our two government run systems. If we ever got enough in Congress and Senate to push Medicare for all through, I'm pretty sure she'd sign it, and I don't think she's fight against it, but her focus is on Obamacare, because she's now so tied to the Obama admin through Biden.

I had forgotten about predecimal currency! God I'm glad the US never did that shit

Curious about something for years. Especially before metricization, when y'all bought things in shops, did it ever get confusing if someone was talking about weight or price? Like it's a pound a pound or a pound per half pound. "Give me a pound's worth" of ham. You 100 pence worth when you wanted 16 ounces. Not explaining myself well because it's 5am, but I hope you get what I mean. Lol

Duh, space walk with it and point it at the sun. That's just common sense.

Id say the design flaw is allowing it to function in that position at all. Put a gravity switch in there like space heaters have, so that it it tilts more than a few degrees it shuts off

I like to do this to irritate people because I have a steam deck.

This is why I still don't know more about computers. Lol. Switched to using Linux as my primary years ago, thinking "I'll learn more about how computers work, and become better at this by forcing myself to use Linux." Found Ubuntu, it worked well, then found mint, it worked so well I never needed to actually do anything, and switched to fedora when I realized how much I like Gnome, and still never needed to actually do anything, because shit just works. Once you've made the switch, Linux is super unobtrusive. It's just sorta there, in the background, doing everything for you while you play YouTube videos or watch porn. Lol. I still don't know much about computers, but I now recommend every switch, because seriously, almost no one is computer illiterate enough not to be able to use mint or Fedora.

Can you, or anyone, explain to me how tf to do the text overwriting thing? Like, is it even doable for someone who doesn't know the first thing about coding?

How viable would something like this be for powering a home? Solar panels+this?

The government already knew. Check out the documentary The Men Who Stare at Posts
