Used to have a special fabric-covered pad to put special fluid upon with a dropper bottle, then gently drag on the LP as it turned, to clean it. I think the fluid disabled the static.

@NewtonMark @ohir @newsguyusa BAUDOT.

Thank god you’re not the one running it because holy shit, these are some awful takes.

BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG

OMG the curlers and the cigarette. Just too brilliant. Such a fun movie.

@ai6yr seems legit. next they'll be blaming the errors in the Windows Event Viewer.

so many disputes between fedi instances seem to be some hatfields-versus-mccoys shit where e.g. the justification for a defederation is that an instance owner did something assholeish like a decade ago

@Dougfir @Laukidh Wow, another loss of situational awareness due to load...

p.12

"...Analysis: Chronic understaffing, a vacant Center Manager position, and a high proportion of trainee dispatchers left Grand Junction Interagency Dispatch Center reliant on acting personnel during an extraordinary surge in workload. Dispatchers imultaneously tracked up to 16 active aircraft, three emerging incidents, multiple new starts, county river evacuations, and non-stop media inquiries, leading to severe cognitive task saturation. Due to constant radio congestion and workload strain, dispatchers felt they were unable to transmit the mandatory scheduled 1000 Fire Weather Forecast broadcast across the zone...."

Therefore mods are elected by the users who generate the highest upvoted content in a community.

wow, that may be the worst idea for the direction of lemmy since the Tesseract guy. bravo

@SRLevine He _does_. It's not even the most extreme example I could pick, it's like they extend forward 2-3 _centimetres_ somehow xD

and! also his mouth and chin! he like projects his lips up and forward too and it's _legit scary_, you see him on the dojo and you _definitely are_ "oh shit, this guy's gonna fuck me up" (and he might! but only in a good sumo way 😁 )

Literally nothing is stopping you from creating communities or even an entire instance that follows that principle…

If you want to do it, then do it.

And if people want it, they’ll participate.

But even if they do, I don’t think you’ll get the result you expect and want

So your probelm with the platforms is not the platforms themselves, but people? Because the mods running communities here aren’t too different from the refit communities.

As for your second point, you want karma farmers to run the communities?

@newsguyusa it’s such a shame that a Republican House, Republican Senate, and Republican Executive were completely powerless for the past two years to do anything about this

@Dougfir @Laukidh Yeesh, here we are again.

"...Analysis: Aging Land Mobile Radio (LMR) infrastructure, unaddressed repeater outages, and dispatch console software crashes severely compromised official command channels during peak operations. Because the shared Black Ridge simplex channel lacked a transmission feedback audio signal, field personnel frequently stepped on one another's radio traffic without knowing their transmissions failed. To bypass these technical barriers, firefighters, helitack managers, and dispatchers defaulted to using personal cell phones, which allowed tactical tasks to proceed but created unrecorded information silos across the incident. ..."
