I'm just curious, for anyone who knows about cars. Mine needs to be inspected but it needs a right outter tire rod. I got quoted $225 to get that fixed and that includes the alignment that you're supposed to get after this kind of repair? Does that sound like a fair price to you? I don't know anything about this kind of stuff so I just don't want to be taken advantage of, although I didn't get that feeling from these guys.

When I was much younger (maybe 4th or 5th grade). I read a book, and for the life of me I can’t remember the name of it. The plot of the book is that it was the end of the world, and I remember there were a lot of natural disasters happening in the story. As well as the characters reading names of the deceased on a website in the book. I know this is a really vague description and is a huge long shot. I also remember a quote from the mother of the main character, telling the main character “we have enough Coca Cola to last a life time” they were buying supplies to try to wait out the apocalypse I believe. I know this is beyond a huge long shot, but if this rings any bells to anyone, I would really appreciate it ❤️

NATO's Stoltenberg again urges Turkey to let Sweden join - DW - 06/04/2023 Skip to content Skip to main menu Skip to more DW sites.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has urged Turkey to stop holding up Sweden's NATO entry bid, saying membership "Will make Sweden safer but also make NATO and Turkey stronger."
NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg on Sunday urged Ankara to drop its opposition to Sweden's bid to join the US-led defense alliance.
"Membership will make Sweden safe but also make NATO and Turkey stronger," Stoltenberg said in Istanbul.
"The organizers want to stop Sweden from joining NATO. They want to block Sweden's counterterrorism cooperation with Turkey, and they want to make NATO weaker. We should not allow them to succeed," he said.
Lawmakers in Turkey and Hungary - the same two countries that were last to approve Finland - are yet to hold votes on Sweden.

Hello everyone. The moderation team of whatisthisfish wants to share some serious concerns we have about recent changes to Reddit.
A recent Reddit policy change threatens to kill many beloved third-party mobile apps, making a great many quality-of-life features not seen in the official mobile app permanently inaccessible to users.
On May 31st, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third party app on Reddit, from Apollo, to Reddit is Fun, to Narwhal, to BaconReader.
Even if you're not a mobile user and don't use any of those apps, this is a step toward killing other ways of customizing Reddit, such as Reddit Enhancement Suite or the use of the old.reddit.com desktop interface (which is beloved by members of our modteam).
This isn't only a problem for users: many subreddit moderators depend on tools only available outside the official app to keep their communities on-topic and spam-free. It’d be wonderful if Reddit’s official apps supported these tools, but they do not, and are years behind what third party apps can do.
On top of everything else, for the visually impaired, iOS is a disaster.

Reddit to the Visually Impaired: "You no longer have a voice on this site."

"As one of the mods of blind I depend on third party apps. Once the apps are gone, I may be left with no choice but to step down and close my 17 year old account. I hope it wont’ come to that."
- u/fastfinge

What's the plan?

The moderation team of whatisthisfish is declaring its opposition (along with hundreds of other subreddits) to this API pricing change, and will be shutting down the subreddit in solidarity for 48 hours on June 12th through the 14th (and may even shut down indefinitely) until the tools to provide effective moderation are available once more. This isn't something any of us do lightly: we do what we do because we love Reddit, and we truly believe this change will make it impossible to keep doing what we love (this subreddit is honestly one of my pride and joys to work on).
The two-day blackout isn't the goal, and it isn't the end. Should things reach the 14th with no sign of Reddit choosing to fix what they've broken, we may use the community and buzz we've built between then and now as tools to take further action.

2. Spread the word. Rabble-rouse on related subreddits. Share your thoughts here at whatisthisfish, and in every Mod post like this you see. Suggest anyone you know who moderates a subreddit to join us at the sister sub ModCoord.
   
3. Boycott and spread the word...to Reddit's competition! Stay off Reddit entirely on June 12th through the 14th. Instead, take to your favorite non-Reddit platform of choice and make some noise in support!
   
4. Don't Be a Jerk - Be Respectful. Follow Reddit's rules and "reddiquette". As upsetting as this may be, threats, profanity and vandalism only serve to make things harder to get people on our side. Please make every effort to be as restrained, polite, reasonable and law-abiding as possible.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 72%. (I'm a bot)

British police say organized criminal gangs are sending machinery and equipment stolen from farms across the U.K. to Eastern Europe in rapidly-increasing quantities, and blame the crippling Western sanctions imposed on Russia for soaring demand.
"We know from where we've recovered equipment, where we are seeing equipment we have recovered but also that's being tracked before we can intercept it, it's heading to Eastern Europe, without a doubt," Superintendent Andrew Huddleston, who leads the U.K.'s National Rural Crime Unit, told POLITICO. Huddlestone has no conclusive evidence the equipment is ultimately destined for heavily sanctioned Russia, but says he and senior colleagues are in little doubt.
Rural crime in the U.K. - already a prevalent issue - has skyrocketed in 2023, with one farmer describing it as "The worst that I have ever known it." "It's literally like a pandemic; nothing is safe wherever you park it," said Eveey Hunter, who runs a farm in Hertfordshire.
"It may not necessarily lead to more crime in rural areas, but will lead to more crime in certain products or items that are in greater demand due to the sanctions," she said.
"Where it will lead to more crime in rural areas is looking at those specific types of machinery that are either not very prevalent in the major cities or easier to steal in rural areas."
David Exwood, vice president of the National Farmers' Union, said it was "Crucial" manufacturers "Install anti-theft devices in all GPS equipment." A Home Office spokesperson said rural crime presented "Particular challenges" and that police forces were being offered extra officers, CCTV and other improved technology to assist their efforts.

Hello readers of /CanadaPublicServants (bots and meatbags alike),
The mod team has some news to share with you.

What's going on?

On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third party app on Reddit. Apps such as Apollo, Reddit is Fun, Narwhal, BaconReader, etc. will have to pay exorbitant prices to remain functional starting on July 1, 2023. The app developers have already come out and said they will be unable to do so.
Even if you're not a mobile user and don't use any of those apps, this is a step toward killing other ways of customizing or accessing Reddit, such as Reddit Enhancement Suite, the use of the old.reddit.com browser interface, and folks with accessibility requirements such as those who are visually impaired.
This isn't only a problem on the user level: many subreddit moderators, including several of the mods of this subreddit, depend on tools only available outside the official app to keep their communities safe, on-topic, and spam-free.

What's the plan?

On June 12th, many subreddits will be going dark to protest this policy. Some will return after 48 hours: others will go away permanently unless the issue is adequately addressed, since many moderators aren't able to put in the work they do with the poor tools available through the official app. This isn't something any of us do lightly: we do what we do because we love Reddit, and we truly believe this change will make it impossible to keep doing what we love.
The two-day blackout isn't the goal, and it isn't the end. Should things reach the 14th with no sign of Reddit choosing to fix what they've broken, we'll use the community and buzz we've built between then and now as a tool for further action.

I just don't get it. After running the numbers on my card game (which was after getting multiple price quotes from different manufacturers) I figured in order for my card game to be self sustaining after its Kickstarter, I'd have to raise about $25,000. It's a 200 2.75x2.75 card set in a two piece rigid box. I figured I could sell it in retail for $25-$30. But after crowdfunding, in order to get enough money back to buy another wave in bulk, I'd have to buy enough copies that'd bring my total up to about $25,000. I could technically drop down to $20,000, its just really pinching pennies at that point and risking unforeseen costs as this is my first time. So I'm just not understanding how I can go to Kickstarter and see other card games with their goals set to less than $10,000, some even as low as $5,000. How are they able to fund their game with a quarter of what I'm asking for? I'm worried that if I can't figure out how to lower my own price, my funding will fail

I read the Wall Street Journal daily as it’s relevant to my work and I like their coverage of business and international news. No doubt it leans conservative but I like having various viewpoints.
Lately, they’ve had a lot of articles that seem aimed at millennial women and moms but they come across incredibly tone deaf. Articles on pumping on a business trip, why women are having fewer kids, cost of daycare, parental leave, etc. The comments are usually from old men and make me want to throw my phone across the room.
Today’s article takes the cake. Apparently women need to learn from men about taking “me time”, which means we just leave stuff undone and reclaim that time for ourselves. So easy!! Just walk out of the house and go to yoga. Literally not one mention of men stepping up more at home or that the reason for women having less me time is that they’re carrying the weight of the family.
Is everyone quoted in this article that fucking tone deaf in 2023? I’m guessing the woman who wrote the article is single or incredibly lacking in self awareness.

For the sub itself, the botting I do will remain under the treshhold.
The 3rd Party Apps are the bigger deal. This will impact our moderation across the team, and impact how users access the sub.
We will not be going dark or setting the sub to private. In past instances we've reinforced the sentiment that we place a premium on remaining Open to meet community needs.
That being said, I would encourage that if your post or comment can wait a day or two and not be posted during the 'protest' time (12 JUN), please do so.
We will be stickying this post for the next week or so, as we do believe this issue warrants attention from everyone using reddit.

This subreddit will be joining in on the June 12th-14th protest of Reddit's API changes that will essentially kill all 3rd party Reddit apps.

Even if you're not a mobile user and don't use any of those apps, this is a step toward killing other ways of customizing Reddit, such as Reddit Enhancement Suite or the use of the old.reddit.com desktop interface .
This isn't only a problem on the user level: many subreddit moderators depend on tools only available outside the official app to keep their communities on-topic and spam-free.
This is not only about moderators, either. This affects users, as well, including vulnerable communities like the visually impaired.

What's the plan?

On June 12th, many subreddits will be going dark to protest this policy. Some will return after 48 hours: others will go away permanently unless the issue is adequately addressed, since many moderators aren't able to put in the work they do with the poor tools available through the official app. This isn't something any of us do lightly: we do what we do because we love Reddit, and we truly believe this change will make it impossible to keep doing what we love.
The two-day blackout isn't the goal, and it isn't the end. Should things reach the 14th with no sign of Reddit choosing to fix what they've broken, we'll use the community and buzz we've built between then and now as a tool for further action.

What can you do?

1. Complain. Message the mods of reddit.com, who are the admins of the site: message reddit: submit a support request: comment in relevant threads on reddit, such as this one, leave a negative review on their official iOS or Android app- and sign your username in support to this post.
2. Spread the word. Rabble-rouse on related subreddits. Meme it up, make it spicy. Bitch about it to your cat. Suggest anyone you know who moderates a subreddit join us at our sister sub at ModCoord- but please don't pester mods you don't know by simply spamming their modmail.
3. Boycott and spread the word...to Reddit's competition! Stay off Reddit entirely on June 12th through the 13th- instead, take to your favorite non-Reddit platform of choice and make some noise in support!
4. Don't be a jerk. As upsetting this may be, threats, profanity and vandalism will be worse than useless in getting people on our side. Please make every effort to be as restrained, polite, reasonable and law-abiding as possible.
