MrJameGumb@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•In the United States, what makes a 'libertarian' right wing?161·2 days agoLibertarians are an odd bunch these days. They claim to be against “big government” but they want to privatize everything which would essentially make giant corporations into a new authoritarian government.
The love to talk about being able to take your business elsewhere if you don’t like the service your getting, but that doesn’t do a lot of good if your house burns down because you were behind on your fire protection plan and no one will come to put it out.
It’s basically become an entire party that believes the idea that “survival of the
fittestwealthiest” should be the only law
That’s the point where you just accept defeat and don’t enter your calories for that day, telling yourself you’ll somehow make up for it by not eating anything for the next 72 hours
Her super power is a fervent belief that the free VIP Gold customer card she got in the mail somehow means that no one in the store is allowed to disagree with her
It actually only gives her 10% off and was sent to every household in a 50 mile radius, but her righteous indignation level is over 9000 and she will not be defeated
MrJameGumb@lemmy.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Trump's dream of building a ballroom at the White House is becoming a realityEnglish85·2 days agoAccording to the article the president offhandedly suggested that a ballroom be built by his company around 15 years ago, and whoever he suggested it to correctly ignored this idiotic idea. So basically he’s going to spend $200 million dollars of tax payer money building a ballroom where one already exists as an act of exceedingly petty revenge because someone hurt his precious delicate feelings over a decade ago.
Seems pretty on brand
MrJameGumb@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•If you put a "s" in front of the "sh" in chivalry, they turn into a "k" like in schism5·2 days agoWhy would you add an “s” to the word “chivalry” though?
MrJameGumb@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is it possible to make wireless charging broadcast electricity throught an entire house similar to how wifi can broadcast to the entire house?2·4 days agoI don’t think it sounds stupid at all! I looked up some info on this and it appears the technology already exists in that RF and Infrared chargers can charge a device across the distance of a room already. I would worry about the safety aspects of the average consumer having access to some kind of wireless charging “router” though. With wifi if someone sets something up incorrectly the worst that could happen is that they just don’t have good wifi, or they inadvertently give all the houses around them access to it, or someone hacks into it and steals their data. What would happen if someone manages to set up a charging router incorrectly? You could have overheating issues that could lead to battery degradation or even injuries. If some nefarious person gained access to it they could tell when Aunt Sally is using her rechargeable dildo, or they could make someone’s TV remote blow up in their hand, or set someone’s phone on fire in their pocket possibly?
I’ll be honest I’m no expert on such things so this is all speculation on my part. I’m just very paranoid about this kind of thing. I suppose such a router could be restricted to only emmit a safe level of charging power but wouldn’t that mean some items charge quickly while larger items take hours or even days to get a full charge?

MrJameGumb@lemmy.worldto Cross stitch and embroidery@sh.itjust.works•Does Thread have an expiration date? (Scored a curbside find!)4·8 days agoI don’t have a definitive answer for you, but I can tell you that I have a big box of floss and aida that my aunt gave me that’s all from the 80s and it all seems fine. It all feels a little different than new stuff either because it’s just old or because they made it different back then but it all works great!
I’m wondering what the hell he did at the gym to piss everyone off?
I got my first photo album in the early 90s when my parents gave me a Polaroid camera! Somehow I have now inherited my grandparents photo albums with pictures going back to the 1940s to the 80s when I was a kid and I love looking through them even though I don’t know who all of the people are. It’s a MUCH different experience than swiping through images on a phone and it makes me sad that younger people might never experience that
Well yeah, this is basically describing an obcessively jealous girlfriend with a complete lack of self confidence and no life of her own.
I’m sure if the post continued further we’d find that his mommy/child bride/servant is also terrified to ever leave the house without him.
When I was a kid we would connect a coat hanger to the TV to get the news from 2 towns over

MrJameGumb@lemmy.worldto Cross stitch and embroidery@sh.itjust.works•Store left over yarn1·23 days agoOh yeah I always get the plastic ones, I would destroy the paper ones by the time I got the floss on them lol
MrJameGumb@lemmy.worldto Cross stitch and embroidery@sh.itjust.works•Store left over yarn1·24 days agoIt was definitely a big improvement over my old system which was just a big plastic bag full of loose bobbins lol it really helps me keep track of inventory so I don’t end up buying more of colors I already had because I couldn’t find them or they weren’t labeled properly
MrJameGumb@lemmy.worldto Cross stitch and embroidery@sh.itjust.works•Store left over yarn4·24 days agoI use the little flat plastic bobbins. They don’t take up a lot of space, and you can write the DMC number on the top with a sharpie. I keep mine in a plastic thread storage box. I have a big double sided one now because my floss collection quickly outgrew the first one I got lol. It’s nice because even the big box doesn’t take up much room, it snaps shut so nothing falls out and it keeps things organized. I got all this stuff from JoAnn’s (rip) and Michaels, but any big craft store should have them or you can just order them on Amazon.
