    Unless I missed something about how Kamala Harris is running for President of Israel, then no.

    Though it would mean anybody who votes for Harris, should she be elected, shares responsibility for her policies, including any enacted around Israel.

    We have this program through Xcel and you correctly describe how theirs works. During peak periods our hold temp at the thermostat might go up a couple degrees for a few hours during peak usage

    We’ve never noticed it due to any discomfort from the adjusted temp.

    polling shows most republican voters are *not* in favor of extreme abortion restrictions. They want abortion up to a certain point and for certain reasons.

    So those polled voters indicate what they want in a poll.

    But when they're told the other side is murdering full-norn babies, they go for what seems to them like the lesser evil.

    Yet those same voters elect (choose) the politicians (their representatives who speak for them) who want something different.

    Again I ask why a distinction should be made, in regards to voters and politicians, when discussing party. Seems to me like both groups, voters and politicians, say one thing and do another.

    As Maya Angelou once said, “When someone tells you who they are, believe them.”

    I administer a tenant today that has given me plenty of understanding.

    You’d never be able to tell. If this is true your “understanding” doesn’t show but I’ve seen some very dysfunctional organizations so I wouldn’t be surprised.

    I am aware of telemetry, yes.

    Even if we ignore your continued conflation of Word and Microsoft 365, I suspect you have nothing to support your assertion that Word transmits the content of your document files to Microsoft.

    Realistically this whole exchange is moot. A medical providers use of patient data management software in no way constitutes a “release” of data to that software provider as the person I originally replied to seemed to think.

    Perhaps you’ll have an opportunity to administer a tenant someday and that’ll give you a better understanding.

    So I am not being willfully ignorant. I work with both daily.

    Then you’re just being ignorant.

    O365, which is actually Microsoft 365 now, is a suite of productivity software as well as collaboration and cloud-based services.

    Word is a word processing program. They are not the same and use of Word does not equate to O365.

    You should know this. Just like you should know that a business using a piece of software, such as a medical facility using Epic’s patient data management tools, does not equate to patient data being “released” to Epic.

    Since you seem to be struggling with the concept perhaps a different example would be easier for you?

    Just because you get an MRI doesn’t mean the data collected for the MRI is “released” to GE.

    The FDA implemented the PMTA (Premarket Tobacco product Application) process. This means that anything vaping related must get their approval before it can be sold in the US.

    I had to look up the PMTA as I’d never heard about it. Wasn’t this implemented back in the 2000s?

    Politicians are the elected representatives of the voters. If the politicians want something their voters don’t then why are they being elected.

    Yep. Specifically it’s because the flour is not generally sanitized/processed in any way that removes bacteria from the grain or the finished product.

    Flour is traditionally only used as an ingredient and will through the cooking process experience heat high enough to kill any bacteria.

    If you want to make safe cookie dough to eat raw at home just spread the flour on a sheet tray and toast it in the oven at ~200 degrees for something like 10 minutes. There’s specific directions online.

    there are people getting credit for blackness without being authentically black

    This, and really your whole comment, comes across like it’s okay for one person to decide another isn’t what they identify as because their experiences were not the same.

    Using the social construct argument who is Janet Jackson to say Kamala Harris or anybody else is not black.

    Getting some real Dwight Schrute vibes here. Shouldn’t Janet have called Kamala Caucasian?

    Dwight: You said the program is not open to Caucasians. Well... anthropologically, she is Indian. Indians migrated from the caucuses region of Europe. Therefore, technically, she is Caucasian. You're welcome, America.

    Yes, all are welcome in Minnesota, even in those rural areas. There are some backwards people but, as a lifelong Minnesotan, I choose to believe its just because they haven’t met or known any trans people themselves.

    What was surreal to me is the doctor is telling me this and I couldn’t wrap my brain around it. I wanted to argue. I’ve heard “diet and exercise” for so long it was like a conditioned response kicking on.

    Apparently overeating/obesity has been categorized as a chronic disease since 2013. I was just talking to a weight management doctor who was explaining that there’s actually hormonal responses that differ person to person that play a huge role.

    Your dogs might be chill but I bet all the other dogs find their unsolicited advice and wildly off base assumptions annoying.

    Using your logic they’re also probably pretty thin skinned when called out on it.

    Maybe, just maybe, two comments on Lemmy, one not even directly about our dogs, isn’t enough for your armchair analysis.

    Don’t worry, I don’t expect you to actually eat your hat, though that was a foolish thing to say.

    Firstly, nobody comes to our door “unexpectedly”. We’re alerted and have them on camera before they hit our front walk.

    Secondly, our dogs lose their minds barking when my wife comes home from work, when we have expected company, when we come back from running errands, when our neighbor comes home from work and slams his car door etc. etc. etc.

    It’s almost like they both have high amounts of guard dog breeds in them.

    I’m there with you.

    We have a camera on the driveway and the front walk. We have a sign at the start of the front walk that, in compliance with state/federal law requirements, says no politics (among others). Anybody who makes it to the door gets yelled at for not reading the sign and asked for their permit from the city to go door to door.

    We really don’t like people, outside of expected visitors/deliveries, coming to our door. Our dogs lose their minds barking and then are on high alert for a while going off at every little noise.

    Political texts, regardless of party or content, get an automatic delete and mark junk. Same with emails.

    Mailers don’t make it into the house and go right into the recycling.

    We don’t vote based on the best marketing campaign.

    I want to show some love to B&H Photo. They’re one of my go to’s specifically for tech stuff.

    I feel like people give up on in store if they can’t find it at a big box store and go to the online equivalent of a big box store (Amazon).

    Anybody who puts in a little effort should be able to find a specialty store either in person or online.

  • Pretty much the title. I’ve noticed lately that more independent and non-grocery roasters will have 12 ounce bags instead of one pound. Is there a special reason for this beyond, I assume, bringing the price of more gourmet-ish coffee to a price point comfortable for the average consumer? Also, shout out to King Bean in South Carolina, I love their Capers Blend.
