Google has to allow users to separate accounts on their services. It’s probably a popup that asks if you want to keep it all in one account or use a separate account for YouTube.

Hey I have been rooting for Bernie from the sidelines for decades.

Yes, that is how it works. Their electorate chose Biden so they run that candidate. And that also means circling the wagons around him.

I just hope all the disillusioned people still vote for him, as the rest of the world cannot handle another trump term. Trump exemplifies a lot of what is wrong with the world, and we don’t need another 4 years of a loudmouth, lying, traitorous wannabe dictator who will show the world how he can cozy up and embolden actual dictators and take the reigns of big corporations to continue to rape the planet for profit. That is just too bad of an example.

Company sued government for not adhering to contract.

The moral outrage should be at the people involved in the contract negotiations for the government and the fucker who ended up signing said contract. That group of persons and their entire genepool should be made to fill the vacant spots.

We had something a little similar here. Local government had a contract with an incineration company for trash. Then we started separating our trash more for recycling. And the local government is now BUYING trash from Italy and trucking it here to be incinerated because that is cheaper than the fines in the contract.

Cheap - fast - good… Pick 2

But for that you can also wear protective clothing, no?

You can also get a more comfortable softer riding saddle instead of a hard racing one. It really depends on the bike.

For rain and stuff in the Netherlands (we have some rain) you can get a rain suit I causing pants you can just wear over your normal clothes to work.

Make sure the rain suit has reflector strips or patches… your lighting and reflectors are key in Beiing seen.

Depending on the commute distance getting an Ebike helps keep your speed up without becoming massively sweaty. You can still exercise but you do it at a steady 25kph.

For groceries you can get cargo bags for on the back of the bike. Depending on the type you get they can store a lot.

Listening to music… put in one earbud only and have the volume low. But in the Netherlands we have mostly separate bike infra (protected bikebanes and such) so this might still be dangerous if there is no good bike infra.

Lastly, you can choose other routes that would normally not work by car. If you find a cut through somewhere, you maybe can avoid the dangerous stroads all together.

Wanted to reply to OP. Moving my post.

Hehehe… it should be tankies and indeed my dutch autocorrect did that… and it also works. So I’ll leave it.

I’d argue it is not really left wing. Or maybe not JUST left wing. Sure these people have some left ideas, but that is not all, and for sure is not the most important.

This is what the word “Tankie” refers to.

They (tankjes) go out of their way to argue for totalitarian governments and dictators. As it it is some kind of fetish.

They deny the wrong doing of countries like Iran, china, Russia and other totalitarian states as if all the wrongdoing by these countries actually are not real and just some big plot by the evil western propaganda machine.

They deny tainnamen square massacre, maidan is a cia coup, Iran is actually not that bad… the list is endless.

They are worshippers at the altar of totalitarianism, the trump supporters but then for people like Putin, khameini, xi. Tankjes cheer on countries like north Korea while it starves it’s citizens, deflect human rights issues in Iran with whatabout … Saudirabia, muricah, etc… Tankjes believe Hamas are fighters for the people, chant “from the river to the sea” while with the same breath saying it is all the wests own fault, Jews caused it all themselves… You know, the abusers credo… “Look what you made me do”.

Please don’t construe any of my above remarks as saying “west good, west blameless”.

But that is my opinion. Left wing is not a feature of what is going on on these instances. It is just noise between the vitriol.

My advice, block Hexbear, lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml on instance level. And if you come across one of their loons arguing the above point, block the user and move on. Nothing of value is gained by engaging these Trolls that spread misery across the internet.

Thank you for your posts. I love them in my feed.

First thing. If you stick your hand in the case, make sure the powercord is disconnected from the power supply, and then press the powerbutton. This discharges capacitors.

Don’t fret too mich, it’s like Lego, most stuff only first one way, and you don’t need much force to plug or remove stuff. If you need to use more force than you can apply with your finger, mostly you are missing a latch, hook or something else that is holding the thing in place… check again.

The machine has an onboard Videocard. So a good option is to remove the Videocard and test the system to see if it gives any sign of life without the graphics card.

Removing the graphics is a bit tricky as it usually has a little latch near the back of the connector it is in on the motherboard (check a quick YouTube video on removing a graphics card).

Then try if it starts.

Then check all the connectors if they are seated properly. Especially all the small cables in the motherboard, they listen really carefully and must be on the correct headers.

Check if it starts again.

Remove and re-seat the internal memory. I’d recommend quick YouTube video here too. It only fits one way.

Check start again.

Then disconnect all other devices like the harddisk etc. just pull the cable on the drive side and leave it dangling… it’s only for testing.

Of none of this works, I’d recommend getting the guy that traded it help you out.

And in the hottest day you run higher risk of sunburn as the hair is not there to protect :(

They idolize left authoritarians. And their talking points are summed up by if “the west” says it, the opposite is true. And they will argue with you.

So fascism is a term that is thrown around incorrectly a lot, blocking these people does help improve your Lemmy experience.

Every dictator exists on the courtesy of those around him and closest to him. How he keeps these strongmen in line differs, but a dictator can meet their end anytime any place by not balancing the needs of the people with the individual needs and wants of his strongmen enough. Needs and wants include threats of violence, food, money, anything you can think of.

Did we have every day of the week already?

Then in the first of each month…

How is this legal?

And then all visitors that where there for other reasons like delivering a package, making repairs etc are now also spammed by these whackjobs.

Jezus… this got a good chuckle out of me.
