I'm just waiting for protests to be labeled "insurrection"

I need an option to automatically up vote anything I comment on, I'm terrible at voting, but at the same time I know several servers and apps don't even have votes...

Heck add an up vote to anything I open the comments section of, too.

The barycenter of the earth-sun orbit is within the surface of the sun, therefore the earth is understood to orbit the sun.

The JUPITER-Sun orbit barycenter, however, is outside the surface of the sun.

So I sent this to my parents, as they've spent hundreds, if not thousands on their Kindle books.

They don't really care. Zero interest in DRM-free backups that I can make them. They don't think it's an issue. They trust Amazon to not mess with their books, and that they'll always have access to wifi and kindles.

In one work report, I recorded the date as "1/13/25", "13/1/25" and "13JAN2025"

I have my preference, but please for the love of all that is fluffy in the universe, just stick to one format....

In fairness, my dogs are considered "property" and I value both of them far more than the human who put this on their vehicle.

My parents don't have flood insurance, but they live on a hill that's about 150ft above the surrounding fields, and roughly 200-250ft above the closest waterway. If their house floods, then society has effectively collapsed in their state.

My sister and in-laws, however, all live within eyesight of the closest river or stream, and maybe 25-50ft above water level inside valleys. My wife's sister's house has had water get up to about 10ft away from the house, and STILL nobody has flood insurance.

SOME people can get away with it. Most can't and don't even realize it.

I mean, I guess he gets a tiny fraction of that, since this won't ruin his company or him financially for the rest of his life if it doesn't work out, nor does he actually put in the work any further than a phone call that his assistant sets up. The rest is all done by various departments, all he does is wait for an email saying it's been recieved.

Exterior: El Sleezo Cafe. Man in a coat is being tossed out onto the street.

A green frog sees this, and suggests the man complains to the owner of the establishment.

The man then says to the frog "I AM the owner."

Yeah it could definitely be a little clearer with it's phraseology.

Would it be in poor taste to say "Hey, I've seen this one before!"?
