16·2 days agoI’ve always used wooden toothpicks because
- Common
- Made from cheap soft wood: more likely to deform or destruct against metal than most plastics
- Cut with the grain: especially soft to anything raking against the sides (like delicate pins)
- The uneven “splintery” sides happen to be pretty good at snagging tiny fibers of lint to pull them out as one big ball, requiring fewer swipes
More techniques:
- clean with port facing straight down to get gravity assist
- blow across the opening of the port: mild negative pressure + agitation inside cavity vs blowing directly into port (which is generally warned against explicitly)
- focus on “pinning” lint up against each of the two corners and holding gentle pressure during extraction: these corners of the port have no exposed pins, and happen to be where lint tends to accumulate anyway

The condensers are garbage
Guessing you meant compressors. If their condenser tubing is faulty, it’s a potential fire hazard.
1·2 months agoFounding CEOs and those working for small companies usually are at least not-far-removed from the life experiences of their employees. In many cases they draw a relatively low salary and have a meager lifestyle compared to their most skilled employees. The pop culture tropes of the callous fatcat, ruthless machiavel, nepotistic bungler, etc are informed mostly by career CEOs hired by much larger corporations.
The types of errors and the commenter’s reaction to correction would suggest that this is a native speaker who missed a good deal of primary and may or may not be high.
2·2 months ago🫡 I too am prone to being bubbled so I collect anti-talking-points like these in a dedicated note. A sort of grounding technique I guess.
To be clear, this is not only the best example I had off the top of my head, it appears to also be the best relevant answer from my note, and while Trump took credit for it after the fact, I am certain he would have accepted bribes to make the case “go away.”
Back in 2020 his DoJ filed the antitrust lawsuit against Google that concluded successfully a year ago.
Lol true. In fact, I guess always true for any historical use. At least, insofar as established power wants to keep playing the same game and under dog wants to play a different one. Shrug
While that truism might annoy lovers of !politicalcompassmemes@lemmy.world it isn’t invalid, historically-speaking.
Tell me more…
From their first use in 1789 (long-short: seating positions) the definitions for left and right were fluid, but generally referred to “change” versus “status quo.”
In Stalin’s era, left referred mostly to pro-worker policies, the economic change of the communist revolution. That convention was solidified in the US during the red scare, where left-wing came to mean “commie heresy.”
After that period, the definition was gradually blurred again, perhaps by conservatives carrying forth the McCarthyist tradition of lumping any non-conformist view into “commie heresy.” Regardless, the resulting confusion in public political discourse is the reason Wayne Brittenden made the Political Compass website in 2001.
By canonizing the economic-policy definition used by the Bolsheviks/McCarthyists as an actual X-axis spectrum, and the social-policy definitions of most other contexts as a Y-axis spectrum, one could easily map both dimensions as a cartesian coordinate. Quite handy.
Still, as elegant and illuminating as that solution is, it remains a convention.
threat intelligence teams, like the ones at Meta, are doing “amazing work,” in part by staying siloed and separate from the commercial arms of their wider organizations. “But the question is how long will that last?” said Deibert.
What would be the point of threat intelligence that isn’t siloed?
Yeah I guess Collective Shout are fans, but I’m not one to judge
Deliberate Anal Inebriation — a.k.a. “boofing,” “plugging,” “butt chugging,” “booty bumping,” And so forth — is a popular subgenre of concert-style praise music long enjoyed by American evangelicals.

Lowkey for real though.
One of the trigger issues expediting their antitrust case during the first administration was their lack of responsiveness to old yam tits’ demands re: their “biased” search index results (they included critical news articles) and while the major consequence of the case (breakup) was recently prevented (by the current administration) now, coincidentally, they’re happy to play ball.
