Maybe organized mass non-compliance. That doesn't mean just not voting as an individual though.

If you look at the image on the left you'll see that 5 of the smaller squares won't fit in the big one.

A highly trained phrenologist still cannot diagnose personality problems by feeling bumps on your head.

The FCC decided that all foreign-made consumer-grade Internet routers are prohibited from receiving FCC authorization and are therefore prohibited from being imported for use or sale in the US. in c/technology@lemmy.world

Yeah, Reagan was always talking about small government, and then he blew up the deficit with unchecked spending. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

All countries spy on each other.

I definitely agree about being more worried about the US spying than China though.

I'm too old for either but I think Billie Eilish is a bit more substantial?

We got a bigger car than I would like because my stepdaughter decided that she wanted to be a hockey goalie. 🙈

I lived in Amsterdam for 10 years and only got a car when I married someone who lived in the suburbs. Well, actually I still don't own a car but I can borrow one as needed!

It is symbolic of Trump's disregard for law. The name of the center is in a law, and changing it without passing a law is illegal.

No, it isn't important, but following laws is, at least laws that are not unjust.

This month's electrical horror show: tilted electrical box in the wall (feddit.nl)
 

I have been slowly replacing my light switches with these awesome dimmer switches:

https://eu.aqara.com/products/aqara-dimmer-switch-h2-eu

I really like them as they work fine on their own if the Zigbee network is down (for example if I have broken my Home Assistant server), and allow full control via Zigbee. So I can have things like lights which come on so my partner doesn't come home to a dark house, and set them to go on and off when we are on vacation.

I'm doing it slowly since they are kind of expensive, and also since every time I do any IoT home improvement project it goes wildly wrong.

Anyway, this is yesterday and today's surprise... the insets for this switch and the outlet next to it are tilted. Whoever installed the electrical stuff just sort of jammed it into place to level it out.

I feel a bit lame for just jamming in the new stuff too, but there is no way that I am going to re-drill the holes and redo everything.
