I think I’ve heard that the USA federal gov is bigger than in the past, as in controlling more of an American’s life than in its history. Is it like government revenue divided by gdp? What about minting?
I should clarify I wasn’t a upper level sys admin managing those servers, I just used them or maintained accounts being a rank and file technician...
Idk, when you look at the entire picture, does Trump not have the far easier path to 270 this year? He only has to win 2 states (PA & GA) and that’s it, he wins. Kamala has to win at the minimum 3, and if she loses PA, it becomes even harder for her. Trump could just spend all of his money campaigning in those 2 states and get...
I’m creating a Durable Power of Attorney, and I can choose whether to grant my Agent the power to deal with my taxes. My question is: does granting the Agent this power also make them responsible for my taxes? E.g., if I owed the IRS $100,000, would my Agent suddenly be responsible for paying the IRS $100,000 if I didn’t...
Seemingly the functionality for setting languages is never used, and a large portion of my new feed is from instances that are language specific (and not the language I speak)....

Just thinking about how I’ve read that humans are the only animals on the planet that can throw objects with a degree of accuracy. But could a dog or other animal be taught, and trained to throw things to hit a target? I mean, it’s not like a human can throw well without guidance and practice, either.
I thought I wanted to study piano, which means at least a bachelor. To this end I started saving and 6 months ago spent $40K on a small grand piano that I only play sometimes. I always relied on school and church pianos to play, but these are old, overplayed, cannot be properly tuned (old), the sound is awful and the mechanic...

I’m trying to lose weight and was told that hwo I eat about 800-1000 calories a day is too low and lowers my metobolism which will prevent weight loss. I’ve looked up some meal plans and can’t really afford stuff like chicken breast, steak, or salmon every week. So that is why I’m wondering how I can eat 1500 calories a...
What I am looking for specifically is, is there a community for like /ihadanidea? Like a shower thought but not, like a place where I can just go and post out into the void that I had a cool idea about something and it’s just free use for anyone to do with what they will, and then once corporate hears of it, they can make it...
People (including me) complain about monopolies all the time for various reasons. At the same time, I’ve noticed a ton of complaints about the existence of multiple streaming platforms. But isn’t that a good thing at the end of the day? If streaming platforms consolidated into 2-3 companies, there wouldn’t be much stopping...
I’ll be playing a game, and then one day it won’t work. After updating my graphics drivers, it works again. But the game didn’t receive an update, so why does it just break?
so title, as in if you had 50 acres and planted trees, fixed ponds and water ways, etc. would this allow more humidity, promote snow…? like a micro climate?
I know people can wear two video cameras to recreate a first person experience in virtual reality. I also know they make those mannequin head stereo mic sets that create interesting spacial audio, supposedly because they mimic the head’s shape and position of our ears....

I am asking for someone to see how many people from various online forums visit their website via redirects. In their analytics application, they do not see anything from Lemmy, so I am wondering if there might be another name Lemmy may go by that it could appear as on the list/page? Or has just no one visited their site from...
