  • From the California Legislature’s document site:

    This bill would enact the Right to Repair Act. The bill would require, except as specified and regardless of whether any express warranty is made, the manufacturer of an above-described electronic or appliance product, in the above-described circumstances, and in those same circumstances but sold to others outside of direct retail sales, to make available, on fair and reasonable terms, to product owners, service and repair facilities, and service dealers, the means, as described, to effect the diagnosis, maintenance, or repair of the product, as provided. The bill would also require a service and repair facility or service dealer that is not an authorized repair provider, as defined, of a manufacturer to provide a written notice of that fact to any customer seeking repair of an electronic or appliance product before the repair facility or service dealer repairs the product, and to disclose if it uses replacement parts that are used or from a supplier that is not the manufacturer.

    SB 244 has been around since the start of this year, at least officially.

    If anyone is interested in seeing how legislation changes over time, I implore you to look at this service; I would go as far as to say that educational instruction would be aided by directing students here.

    There is a lot of content in here but becoming accustomed to reading the text of legislation allows you to be more independent from mass media.



  • Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin was on the passenger list of a jet which crashed killing all on board, Russia’s civil aviation authority has said.

    Earlier, Wagner-linked Telegram channel Grey Zone reported the Embraer aircraft was shot down by air defences in the Tver region, north of Moscow.

    The jet, which was flying from the capital to St Petersburg, was carrying seven passengers and three crew.

    They probably don’t mind losing the crew and Piggy might have been the target (assuming this was intentional) but who else got disappeared along with him?



  • Speaking with FedScoop, the officials expressed concern that USDS, led by Mina Hsiang, and GSA, led by Robin Carnahan, in the past year have focused on small, niche projects while deprioritizing big ticket items like redesigning government websites, setting tech policy standards and improving agency branding. One such niche project, cited by two officials, was a public benefits studio run by GSA’s Technology Transformation Services team, which is a pilot text notification system.

    It sounds like too much progress is being made for the sake of progress.

    We should be hearing about budget concerns rather than these agencies focusing on non-priotity issues.

    I don’t want to start saying that these agencies are bloated or are set up in a way to benefit political partners without any work being done but it seems that way.

    Perhaps it would be better to get people with real passion into the rosters rather than people interested in entertaining the public.



  • I got all four removed at the same time, my dentist put me on anti-inflammatory medication for a couple of days before the procedure and gave me a steroid to take the morning before the procedure.

    I was maybe 20 years old or something like that, roots were so messed up he asked if he could keep the teeth and show his colleagues how messed up they are.

    It doesn’t take long, there is no pain but it feels really uncomfortable, normally he would have just given me more anti-inflammatory medication but after seeing the roots, he gave me a small supply of Vicodin to get through the first few days.

    Afterwards, my mouth was pretty sore and I pretty much only had broth for a week.

    Popsicles are great, keeping your mouth cold will help with inflammation, and you might want to try to sleep on your back, rolling over and hitting a cheek won’t be fun.







  • This seems wasteful since I’d want to just include a summary in my posts, maybe if admins/moderators used bots to make regularly occurring posts or something but even then, most of the time the post content is written by a human.

    With that in mind, people who wish to create bots can label their accounts as bots and identify themselves through the user agent when not using an account at all.

    The bots don’t necessarily have to post/comment, getting rid of all bots doesn’t exactly seem productive.
