Meanwhile Americans, acting like the most powerful, intrusive, violent, and far reaching propaganda machine ever created in all of human history is doing absolutely nothing to their own beliefs:

I feel like people outside industry don’t appreciate this message as much as intended.

Industrial switchgears, often part of an electric apparatus that looks like a giant metal box, have lead times measured in years. The supply chain is completely fucked.

A literal CEO of a $20billion company couldn’t skip the line despite writing them a letter and begging for any price.

Companies are paying long haul truckers expedited rates to haul a 53 foot trailer with a switchgear inside, and the rest of the trailer completely empty. Just to get it 2-3 days sooner, after their 1 year wait. You cannot operate the facility without it.

It really is a huge shame when one of them gets damaged.

Yeah those “too good to be true” AI/mechanical Turk-type jobs are usually thinly veiled scams. Eventually they’ll stop paying or randomly terminate you, etc.

If you have some kind of circus trick (drawing, editing, copywriting, etc), you could try fiverr. It’s quickly evolved into low-cost creative gig work and some creators charge up to hundreds for more complex commissions or larger jobs.

If you don’t have a circus trick, the only other thing I know of is the “slave labour” (yes it’s really called that) community on Reddit. That one is fully peer to peer so be very cautious but people post more menial tasks there from time to time.

Finally you could farm Bing Rewards and survey websites. It would be a truly pitiful wage but it converts time into money (gift cards) using the internet. This is really cruel and unusual punishment but… it’s an option.

Edit: if you’re any good (like, top 1-5%) at multiplayer video games, kids will pay tons of money to boost their accounts on the competitive ladders. This is by far the most lucrative and easiest option but it requires you to already be good.

So if I run your cat over in the street, you would have no problem with it? Because you sure seem okay with letting your captive predator out to do the same to your entire neighborhood.

Your instance is defederated with the single largest trans community and support group on the Lemmy platform. Take a look at hexbear, take your mind off things. Get off hostile instances. .world is the second most likely to SWAT you for this post, only beaten by exploding heads.

It would halve it or worse. ASUS makes a few models with built in internal batteries which work quite well.

The type that latch onto your existing laptop display are really not great. They put a huge amount of extra force on the hinge where tons of sensitive ribbon cables live and you are severely limited in viewing angle. Not to mention you can’t move the monitor around in a tight work space or disconnect it easily to hit the field.

A standalone portable monitor is the best solution IMO. The nicer models come with adjustable stands, protective travel cases, and USB-C DP pass through functionality.

The actual climate scientists have been increasingly saying their models show there’s no point to even trying while capitalism still exists, and get continuously worse every time they add recent data to the model,

…but I support, commend, and unironically respect your commitment OP. One person can absolutely make a difference to their local ecosystem assuming they have enough money and land.

lol this is bait. You have land, a house, a family, and at minimum 4 weeks PTO per year spent on international destination vacations. Ok bro sure you’re bored

My dude $40 in a gacha gets you jack shit hahah welcome to modern gaming
