laverabe@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Inside the U.S. Government-Bought Tool That Can Track Phones at Abortion ClinicsEnglish0·6 months agoOr just hit airplane mode / power off. Or just leave the phone at home, the procedure takes only 5-10 minutes.
People are way to attached to their phones. The world will not collapse in that hour, it is a survivable event, or so I hear from reputable sources.
laverabe@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Undecided voters say they now support Joe Biden after debateEnglish112·10 months agoFirst ten minutes were the worst, after that Biden started to make at least some reasonable points.
Just to clarify definitions that probably wouldn’t be considered deafness, it would be an audio processing disorder. Ability to hear music but inability to process the words.
Deafness is “binary” in that it just means ones ability to hear sound or not. If you can hear sound even slightly then you just have a hearing impairment and are not deaf.

laverabe@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Climate damages by 2050 will be 6 times the cost of limiting warming to 2°English51·1 year agoBecause you can very easily already calculate the increased cost of natural disasters; droughts, floods, severe storms with wind and hail damage, crop spoilage, etc that is occurring right now. The future disasters will be worse.
As explained in the article they take the cost of current disasters and multiply the known effects of global warming to calculate what costs will be. They can only calculate what they know.
The costs are probably more like 1000x anyway because there is no way to really apply an accounting system to a complete calamity that would happen if numerous very likely feedback loops happen, as they hint to in the article.
laverabe@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•A Huge Number of Homeowners Have Mortgage Rates Too Good to Give UpEnglish93·1 year agoPeople don’t live in rural areas primarily because of the distance to their jobs and a lack of infrastructure. Otherwise most people would choose rural living over living in a dense city if all other factors were equal.
Closeness to nature, lack of pollution/ city noise, free use of the earth and land, etc.

laverabe@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•The less you vote, the more you back TrumpEnglish11·1 year agoThe entire premise of the article is the exact opposite - that Trump did better when turnout was high.
A new poll suggests it’s Republicans who should be rooting for higher turnout.

laverabe@lemmy.worldto Lemmy.World Announcements@lemmy.world•Feedback from all moderatorsEnglish6·1 year agoAdmins, mods, users; we’re all human. I dunno if it’s some big secret but I use /c/asklemmy posts as informal posts, and just consider the highest comment as the most popular opinion. Imperfect but effective.
I asked what community Lemmy most needs, and the most up voted comment was ‘cranes trains and excavators and stuff like that’. I made the sub and it’s been pretty popular. Maybe you guys could take the same approach, just an informal asklemmy post asking for input before any site changes?
laverabe@lemmy.worldto Lemmy.World Announcements@lemmy.world•Feedback from all moderatorsEnglish373·1 year agoIs there an alternate survey site that could be used other than Microsoft? The site is pretty much impossible to see in dark browser mode as well (light grey text on white background).
Aside from that though, what is the difference between Lemmy and sublinks?
laverabe@lemmy.worldto The Onion@midwest.social•‘School Never Taught Us About Taxes,' Says Woman Who Wouldn’t Remember It Even If They HadEnglish8·1 year agoOurs had all of that. I think many of the bad things you hear about US education is mostly a concerted narrative to try to denigrate the importance of publicly funded schools. IE to reduce funding and line private schools pockets.
laverabe@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Unprecedented GPS jamming attack affects 1600 aircraft over EuropeEnglish1·1 year agoIt is highly likely that exactly zero Russias nukes work. Nuclear maintenance is extremely expensive, and there is a zero percent chance that corruption that we witnessed in tank maintenance and other areas of their military did not spread to their nuclear program. It has also been 34 years since they successful a launched a nuke.
Russia as a country has never launched a nuke (USSR did) so it’s seriously debatable if they even have the capability.
And I’m not advocating for war, but Russia needs to have consequences for their actions, and the world needs to respond resolutely and immediately before this gets any worse.
laverabe@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Joe Biden calls trans people “fabric of our nation” in Trans Day of Visibility proclamationEnglish6·1 year agoThat has nothing to do with elections and everything to do with the direction news media has taken. Outrage sells, reasonable politics not so much.
laverabe@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Joe Biden calls trans people “fabric of our nation” in Trans Day of Visibility proclamationEnglish14·1 year agoVoting 3rd part has the opposite effect. Republicans voted 3rd part in 92 to shift policy and lost the presidency for 8 years, and the appointment of 2 lifetime supreme court justices.
