Yep. I just heard about the liberal hell scape that is California and it’s EV’s that are destroying their highway system. Now California is charging 30 cents a mile in taxes to compensate for fuel tax losses. A non-idiot might take a few seconds to realize that’s the equivalent of $9 per gallon in taxes.
Another idiot complained about green energy destroying the country because “what do we do when the sun goes down or the wind stops?! Blackouts! We need coal energy!”
These people are dumb as rocks.
Double checked and all of the drives are basic. I’m very confused as to what is different between the disks that readable and the ones that aren’t.
I’ve even tried multiple distros. Same scenario.
It was a good theory, but no luck. I’m perplexed on this one.
How does Joplin hold up with larger files? I’ve just been using Google docs, which I don’t like for several reasons. One of which, is that it gets really choppy when you hit 100+ pages.
With the recent Microsoft garbage, I’m giving Linux another try. I’ve been running a laptop for a while, no issues. My main rig, however can’t read all of my um…?hard drives
A live USB of Mint 21 reads 2 of 5 drives fine. The rest are recognized from GParted, but can’t access them. It looks like NTFS-3G is installed.
I’ve duck duck go’d (which apparently is just Bing) for a solution, but haven’t succeeded. Long term, I can probably pick up another drive, copy, and reformat everything to something Linux friendly. For now, I just want access.
I’m lazy and burned out. I don’t want to use the terminal- which I did try. I just want to make a few clicks and have access to all of my files.
If it matters, the drives (roughly) show up as: 500 gb, 4 TB NTFS (readable) 3, 12, 16 TB unknown (not readable)
Windows says they’re all NTFS.
Is there an easy way to easily mount my drives?
This was a sad read. A gambling addict would have at least had a chance to make money. This guy just kept throwing money away other peoples money and never saw any returns.
I can’t believe someone at the bank didn’t question the strange wire transfers. Or that the guy who told him he was being scammed didn’t immediately reach out to the authorities.
Question: Wouldn’t the FDIC reimburse most of these people’s money?
Every time I read a quote from this idiot it hurts my brain. I could go on about how stop and frisk is a horrible, racist policy that is a violation of basic rights, but just reading anything he says is painful. His speech is so jarring, erratic, and logically flawed. I’ve listened to average second graders express their thoughts more eloquently than this piece of garbage.
He wants to win. His fragile little ego needs it. He’s just too dumb to change strategy.
His backup plan is to overthrow the government.
Looks like that storm is going to fuck up that coast
There’s been debate about changing the size of the supreme court for a long time. The problem is that if one party does it, the next one can do the same to stack in their favor. That said, just 9 members that are permanent installed with no oversight makes them arguably the most powerful body in the nation. Just one crooked member can be devastating.
I don’t have a perfect solution, but I’d start with something more like 21 members, strict oversight into their finances, a third party that mandates recusal, and a shelf life.
The damage of these 6-3 decisions could last decades or worse. They certainly don’t represent the people that are much closer to 50/50 conservative/liberal than 2/3 extremely conservative.
It doesn’t matter. It will be too late. She’s just trying to delay.
Ah yes. Louisiana, the beacon of education, progress, and economic success. Let us follow their lead to prosperity and health.
I was trying to find active users since he took over. But the only numbers I can find are numbers provided by Musk, who is a well known liar.
I know Lemmy and Mastodon are niche communities, and that people put up with a lot of garbage from Big Tech, but I have to believe that a lot of users have left Twitter, or least that usage is down. I also assume bots are way up, because Musk wants his numbers to be up regardless of the source (save for people with an opposing opinion).
Hopefully Musk’s shitty little empire crumbles…soon.
350,000 people in the U.S. died of COVID in 2020. For reference, 25,000 died of the flu in 2019. Out of nowhere, Covid became the third leading cause of death.
Any respectable news source tends to report on things like that.
Those saying that Covid was “just the flu,” or “not a big deal,” is delusional.
It’s been raining more than average here… So yeah. Same difference?
Blame Reagan. Turns out that getting rid of that pesky government oversight did allow corporations to thrive… At the cost of consumers. It’s been a long slide, but the pandemic showed companies just how much they can get away with.
There’s like 3 major airlines, 3 cell providers, and 10 companies that make most of your groceries. Profits are up, and so are prices. Competition is all but dead. To quote Highlander, “There can be only one.”
Randy Savage “Macho Man”
Gee, it’s almost like we shouldn’t let our telecoms slowly merge into one greedy entity with no competition.
Health insurance is nearly a trillion dollar industry. There is no way to have a middle man that big and somehow save money.
Their goals are 100% opposed to ours. By denying care and charging more, they profit.
We can’t even shop around for a better provider because it’s tied to our jobs. The entire system is broken.
Abolish health insurance.
