Ask me anything.
I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks
Not sure if “CVS receipt layout” is a common term or not, but I’ve used it over the last 10 years or so.
It describes websites that have massive margins with the content displayed as a thin strip down the middle; everything on the side is just wasted space (or crammed with ads).
Receipts from the retailer CVS are a known joke where the smallest, single-item purchase will generate a receipt that’s 6 foot long because of all the ads, coupons, and other junk tacked on.
In the old days, it was a lazy way to make websites work on desktop and mobile. Now, it’s a lazy excuse for not doing responsive design and/or allocating massive amounts of space for ads. I hate it. lol.
Is Clarence Thomas okay, like upstairs? Does he just go around pointing at random things and screaming “Unconstitutional!” ? Is “unconstitutional” in the room with us right now?
Artist’s Rendition:
Yup. Same.
Though I only have 3x 1080p ones so I have to fudge it and size the browser window across multiple monitors lol.
I was thinking the Seinfeld theme, but CYE is definitely better.
Hey, I pay for those pixels along the sides, so I expect them to get used once in a while 😆
Are you being sarcastic? That looks terrible. I hate when websites go for the CVS receipt layout.
Or did you just zoom way, way out for the screenshot? I’m on mobile so it already looks CVS-receipty.
Edit: Oh, you did just zoom way out, so I take a lot of that back. Still don’t think it looks great though. Cluttered and just “too much”.
Definitely. But there’s also disproportionate representation at play.
Let’s say there’s a mass exodus from the shittiest of shithole states leaving only, say, 100 people. For sake of argument, that’s sufficient for the state to continue existing and with a state government.
That 100 person state still gets two US Senators and (at minimum) one House rep (technically, it retains as many reps as it had as of the last census up until the next census in 2030). It also qualifies to be one of the required 34/38 states to call for a constitutional convention as well as vote to ratify the proposed amendment.
So, the takeaway is that all elections matter. Get out and vote every opportunity, and vote for sane people who aren’t going to pull this kind of crap.
if voting wasn’t this important, why do you think they’re working so hard to disenfranchise so many people?
60% of the population disagrees, yes. However…
The Constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures
So, 34 red state legislatures can propose an amendment. To be ratified, it requires 3/4 of the states (38 out of 50) to ratify it.
For either of those steps, I’m not sure if the citizens of those states have any say in the matter or if the legislatures can do it all themselves (plus or minus any veto from the governor of those states or legislative overrides of those).
So, they need 34 states to propose an amendment and 38 to pass it. As some else in this thread said, they already have 28.
Yep. Dunno why I can let that one go but not the duty station line. lol

Second, yeah, all of the above plus some.
Should turn around and sue Nintendo for facilitating the facilitation of piracy by making the consoles in the first place.
Or she just really wanted us to know she wasn’t heading to the bar. lol
“We believe this deal is in the best interest of
the flying public, our airline customers, the employees of Spirit and Boeing,our shareholdersand the country more broadly,” Boeing President and CEO Dave Calhoun said in a statement late Sunday.
Fixed that for them.
It’s funny how mergers and acquisitions are always the cure all for every company’s woes, but every time one company gobbles up another, everything always gets worse (especially Boeing). Then the cure for that is to…buy another company. It’s like the corporate equivalent of “Of course having a baby would save our failing marriage”

Wish I could take credit for the term, lol, but I heard it elsewhere.
Yeah, I took it to a few local places, and none of them would do anything like that. I lived in the boonies at the time and didn’t want to tow it all around everywhere. I’d already driven it like that for 4-5 weeks, and the left spring was pressing against the underside of the bed. One good pothole and it would have likely punched through lol. Figured I’d pressed my luck long enough. I had a welder and could have probably fixed it up good enough for farm use, but no way would it have passed inspection.
Just parted it out since everything else was in great shape (especially the transmission that had been rebuilt not 4 months prior 😢)
Ended up just buying the hybrid I drive now since its main use was for my 110 mile daily commute.
Yeah, my 2004 not-quite beater truck came to its end that way. The frame rusted out where the leaf spring shackle attached, and there’s no real way to fix that. Surprised I was able to drive it as long as I did with it like that (it was my daily driver at the time lol).
For my OG beater truck, I got a lot of its body parts from a local salvage yard. Some of the parts I got were rusted in the same spots as mine, just less so (e.g. the quarter panels on S10s were notorious for rusting out).
Replacing the bed isn’t too bad if you have someone to help you lift it on/off and you can find a donor in good shape. I had to pull the bed off my old beater truck to replace the fuel pump, and did the work myself (plus an extra set of hands to lift the bed on/off, naturally) On that one, it was only like 6 bolts holding it down. Hardest part was that two were seized up and had to drill them out (and replace the bolts afterward).
