It blows my mind that in my jurisdiction dogs need to be registered, up to date on shots, leashed, kept on your property. Cats are a free for all. They can be left outside and are free to trespass. They kill over 2 billion birds a year in the US alone. Cats piss on everything on my property, use my yard as a litter box. I had to take down my bird feeders because it was a death trap. And there is NOTHING I can do about it. Fuck cats. For good measure, fuck irresponsible dog owners, too.

Yeah, unfortunately the beastly impacts are M18 so different batteries than the smaller M12 tools. They do make an awesome M12 3/8" Stubby Impact. Anything bigger you need to bump up to the M18 line.

If you buy any EV besides a Tesla you are a fool.

1. buying a car is not an endorsement of the manufacturers CEO
2. Tesla charging network is unbeatable (such as the fact that it works)
3. every other EV is first-gen and unproven. Tesla battery degradation is known because there are 10+ year old cars on the road with hundreds of thousands of miles. There is no significant loss of range in the normal lifespan of an automobile
4. Tesla quality sucks but so does pretty much every manufacturer
5. the price is the price of a Tesla. You know exactly what you will pay before stepping foot in a "dealership". There are no market adjustments and shady BS.
6. since they are an ev only manufacturer I trust their service center 1000x more than a dealership whose techs work 99% on ice vehicles.
7. Elon musk might be a dumbass but he isn't going to intentionally compromise the safety of Tesla vehicles. It is bad business sense if it will lead to recalls, safety concerns, loss of mind share, etc

My opinion will change in a few years when Ford/gm/Hyundai/Kia/vw get another generation under their belt. I certainly wouldn't want to buy an EV now that doesn't have a "Tesla" nacs connector now that pretty much everyone has announced they are adopting it.

Milwaukee 12v is the bomb for most drill/driving/ratchet. Super compact, ergonomic, well built, and the same power as "20v" equivalent twice their size. It would be my number one choice for anything except larger impact wrenches.

Governments have been PAYING to inform the public via commercial services for... ever? And requiring citizens to do the same. Have you ever seen a public notice in a newspaper? At least posting on Twitter is free (for now).

It's called docker. Linuxserver.io offers very close to "mastodon in a box". https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/mastodon

I use Unraid as my host OS with a Windows 11 gaming vm. If you say at my computer you would never know it's not native. I can shutdown/reboot windows and it doesn't affect any of my home server applications, including a mastodon instance.

Someone on your instance needs to be following for it to get pulled into "all" on your instance. On a large instance that might be rather "all" encompassing, but it's an important distinction. On a fresh single-user instance "all" will contain zero posts.
