Fossil fuels are the future. Until they’re not.

“Near White House.”

That specific intersection has the Eisenhower Executive Office Building between it and the White House. Based on the details of the article:

Secret Service personnel later located the individual’s vehicle and spotted a person on foot who matched the description. “As officers approached, the individual brandished a firearm, …"

I’m willing to bet that the firearm which was brandished by the individual was a handgun. Even without the big office building in the way, the odds of a handgun being effective at that range are very low.

This sounds more like a “suicide by cop” situation than an actual threat.

Biting harder.

Accidental renaissance.

Dog was in the bathroom closet.

That’s not how free speech works, you knob.

Of note, Tesla “dealerships” are all corporate owned.

Notable points:

• Betsy likely died on or shortly after Feb 11.
• Gene’s pacemaker recorded last heart activity on Feb 18.
• Betsy died from hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, likely transmitted to her by a mouse. Hantavirus mortality rate in the US southwest is 38% to 50%.
• The pills in the bathroom were thyroid medication.
• Gene’s cause of death was heart related. He showed severe cardiac and pulmonary problems, had a history of heart attacks and related surgeries.
• Gene’s brain showed advanced Alzheimer’s.
• Gene did not have hantavirus. Neither had Covid, flu, or any other common respiratory disease. No effects of carbon monoxide were seen.
• No mention of the dog, but with the time frames involved, it’s not hard to speculate.

Sure, but you have to buy it in a bag.

Lucky by birth or lucky by happenstance or both.

Lemmy is a server application. Mastodon is a server application. Pixelfed is a server application.

I don’t use Lemmy. Never have. And yet here I am.

All efforts, great and small.

Yeah it’s even worse than that.

fedia.io is a specific “provider” in this context. fedia.io runs on mbin. Lemmy is analogous to mbin. Many “providers” run on lemmy: lemmy.world, lemmy.dbzer0.com, lemmy.wtf, etc.

What is being provided is fediverse access. “Fediverse” is not my mostest favorite term, but it’s the one that’s most accurate.

Do you want riots? Because that’s how you get riots.

Oh god no. That’s like “I chose Burger King as my McDonald’s provider.”

Since you’re on fedia.io, which runs mbin, I can answer some of that for you.

Under a post (or a comment for that matter) there is a “More” link. “Open original URL” will open a new tab of that post or comment at the instance the user the post or comment was from.

So if I Open original URL on this post, it will open a new tab at fedia.io for this post - because you posted it, and you posted it from your fedia.io account, at that instance.

However, if I Open original URL for the comment by @meldrik@lemmy.wtf a new tab will open of that comment in this post at lemmy.wtf.

That’s how that function works, but the reasons you’d actually want to do it are limited. Perhaps the instance you’re viewing the post through is defederated from some other instance, and so you wouldn’t see comments from users at that instance. Opening the post “somewhere else” that wasn’t defederated from the instance you wanted to see comments from would then let you see them - but not interact there, unless you also had an account at that instance.

So far as I know, fedia.io is only defederated from a very small number of tankie-heavy instances (lemmy.ml and hexbear/chapo.chat are the ones that come to mind). I don’t think the thing you are asking about doing really has a use case.

Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
