  • I worked for the forestry service in Oregon planting Douglas Fir trees for a season. Most of the seasoned foresters didn't stick with the job because they loved timber, wooden chairs, and backbreaking work. They did it because they loved the natural beauty of Oregon, especially the trees.

    As a person who doesn't live in a swing state, why is it important for me to vote for Biden?
  • In a general sense of messaging, that totally makes sense. Biden has raised the capital gains tax and reclassified cannabis, while Trump is a criminal who committed election fraud. I want people who live in swing states to vote for Biden for the sake of us all.

    Specifically about the issue of voting though, am I missing something?

  • A cool guide to all Nsfw subreddits (zoom in)
  • It probably algorithmically categorizes them by crossposts and association of users across multiple subreddits. So the colors don't really mean anything in specific, the algorithm determined they're associated with each other and created a colorized "family" to show association.

  • News articles hidden behind a paywall shouldn't be allowed in news communities
  • I agree with that, but am also limited to being able to afford just a few news subscriptions. Assuming I'm not the exception, it just seems to be counterproductive towards generating discussion in a community for discussing news.

    People who can only view a clickbait headline also end up not knowing the context of what others are discussing that may have paid for the subscription, and could further be counterproductive in generating meaningful discussion.

  • Well, let's face it, the first Witcher game had more than its fair share of problems...
  • Listen, I'm working my way through a bottle of Jamison whiskey as we speak and can barely understand what you're getting at. I read something about amnesia though, which reminded me of my aunt's exorcism, which also reminded me I still have fries i.N my toaster oven from earlier, so thanks. Good name btw.

  • News articles hidden behind a paywall shouldn't be allowed in news communities
  • I hadn't considered the second part, but couldn't bundling the source with the bypass solve that issue?

    Being that news communities are there to facilitate discussion, it seems counterproductive to keep people from viewing the article in question. If someone just wanted to read the headlines and not have any discussion, an RSS feed would probably be better.

  • News articles hidden behind a paywall shouldn't be allowed in news communities

    Basically, if all I can read is a headline how can I consider it informative? A news headline has as much evidence as your average Tweet, and can be deeply incorrect through the use of clickbait.

    I do use methods to get around paywalls, but knowing that some/most people won't, it seems counter-informative to solely use the clickbait headline to keep people informed.

    Core Distance to TjMAX randomly spikes to 100°C in OCCT
  • Oh boy. I'm not 100% sure about Intel CPUs, but typically the sensors are inside of the metal casing with the silicon. You might've damaged the frame of the cooler so it's not making contact with the CPU and causing the CPU to spike in temp. I'd recommend reaching out to someone who has experience with building PCs and see if they can help you get the CPU cooler off properly, replace the thermal paste, and hopefully get it remounted properly.

    Don't stress your CPU for now because it will cause long-term damage that could fry the CPU/mobo.

  • ‘He checks in on me more than my friends and family’: can AI therapists do better than the real thing? | Counselling and therapy | The Guardian
  • I'm not sure why, but you seem to have posted this yesterday but it didn't show up until an hour ago. Your instance may be having some issues.

    I do get where you're coming from with all that, but the act of going to therapy itself is an achievement a patient can benefit from, and should be considered from the start. If that truly isn't possible for someone, voice calls from a real therapist are a reasonable next step.

    Also, the original question was, "Can AI replace therapists?". I can see some meaningful benefits coming from an AI assisting a therapist, but that's not what I was getting at. AI alone really just feels like a bandaid on a bullet wound, when applying pressure or a tourniquet is also available.

  • User "iExist" - nothing good is going to come from whatever they're doing
  • If you look at the communities themselves, it seems like they're trying to become mods of most religions, many political beliefs, and concepts related to India.

    They're also asking to become mods of already existing coms. I'm really not sure what they're up to.

    Edit: Even more interesting, it seems like there's been common requests for religious and Indian communities on !community_requests@lemmy.ml over the past 2 months. I'm not sure what to make of that either.

  • [Feature Request] change the color of tags for users

    I've been using tags on users who I've interacted with to help me realize if I've interacted with someone before. It would be nice to change the color from green to others, even if it's a prechosen color palette.

    Boise man arrested after gym rampage: Intimidates teens, breaks window, and attempts to bite deputy

    BOISE, Idaho (CBS2) — The Ada County Sheriff's Office reports that a 21-year-old Boise man caused quite a disturbance at a gym in Eagle after he intimidated two teens, knocked himself over with the front door, then broke a plate glass window with a large knife.

    The incident occurred Sunday afternoon at the northeast shopping center of Eagle Rd. and Highway 44. A man identified by police as Jacob Roberts, allegedly was seen intimidating two teen boys while they were exercising in the gym. An adult woman put herself between the two teens and Roberts, telling him to leave them alone.

    Reportedly the two teens and the adult woman barricaded themselves in a mat room using kettle bells to block the door. Witnesses told police that Roberts then became visibly more agitated by not being able to get in to the mat room. Roberts attempted to flee as bystanders called the police. He ran headlong into the front door, knocking himself backwards. Apparently frustrated by this, Roberts pulled out a large knife and used it to break a plate glass window, creating his own exit.

    A large police response led to a brief manhunt, identifying and locating Roberts roughly 30-minutes later. As the deputies pulled Roberts from the patrol car to book him into the Ada County Jail, he attempted to run. Roberts reportedly attempted to bite one of the deputies during the ensuing scuffle. He now faces felony charges for malicious property damage and assault with the intent to commit serious injury, and a misdemeanor charge of resisting arrest. !

    Fire danger prompts Stage II fire restrictions across North Idaho
    cdapress.com Fire danger prompts Stage II fire restrictions across North Idaho

    Beginning at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 9, Stage II Fire Restrictions will be in effect on lands managed or administered by the US Forest Service, Idaho Panhandle National Forests, the Bureau of Land Management, the Coeur d’Alene Tribe, the Idaho Department of Lands, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlif...

    Fire danger prompts Stage II fire restrictions across North Idaho

    A joint news release was issued by agencies that manage lands in North Idaho

    COEUR D’ALENE - Beginning at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 9, Stage II Fire Restrictions will be in effect on lands managed or administered by the US Forest Service, Idaho Panhandle National Forests, the Bureau of Land Management, the Coeur d’Alene Tribe, the Idaho Department of Lands, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Benewah, Bonner, Boundary, Kootenai, and Shoshone Counties.

    This also includes National Forest System lands in Washington and Montana that are administered by the Idaho Panhandle National Forests. Restrictions will remain in effect until further notice.

    Moderate to severe drought conditions coupled with persistent high temperatures have raised the fire danger rating to very high and extreme across northern Idaho. The local Coeur d’Alene dispatch area recently saw an increase to Preparedness Level 4 out of 5, and conditions nationally are Preparedness Level 3. This means multiple geographic areas are experiencing large wildfires, suppression resources are being carefully prioritized, and the majority of other firefighting personnel and equipment are committed to wildland fire incidents. These conditions have prompted Stage II fire restrictions to be implemented in accordance with the criteria established in the 2023 Idaho Fire Restrictions Plan for all lands within the Coeur d’Alene Dispatch area.

    Under Stage II fire restrictions, the following acts are prohibited on the restricted private, tribal, state and federally managed or protected lands, roads, and trails:

    1. Building, maintaining, attending, or using a fire, campfire, or stove fire.

    2. Smoking, except within an enclosed vehicle or building, a designated recreation site or while stopped in an area at least three feet in diameter that is barren or cleared of all flammable materials. 3. Operating motorized vehicles off designated roads and trails in accordance with existing travel management plans for non-commercial purposes, including ATVs, UTVs, and pickups. 4. The following acts are prohibited from 1:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.: (A patrol is required for one hour following cessation of all work as described in a, b, and c below.)

    a) Operating a chainsaw or other equipment powered by an internal combustion engine for felling, bucking, skidding, processing, log loading and hauling, road building and woodcutting or any

    other activity employing the use of an internal combustion engine or off-road activity associated with industrial operations or fire wood gathering.

    b) Blasting, welding, or other activities that generate flame or flammable material.

    c) Using an explosive.

    The following are exemptions to the Stage II Fire Restrictions:

    Persons with a written permit that specifically authorizes the otherwise prohibited act. Persons using a fire or stove fire fueled solely by liquid petroleum or LPG fuels. Such devices, including propane campfires, may be used only in an area cleared of flammable material. 3) Persons using a generator with an approved spark arrester on areas that are cleared of all flammable materials within three feet of the generator.

    1. Log loading and hauling only from landings and existing roads.

    2. Private landowners using charcoal (disposed of properly) or propane barbecues on their own lands.

    3. Normal operations on crop lands.

    4. Emergency repair of public utilities and railroads as per conditions in Stage II Exemptions for Public Utilities and Railroads.

    5. Any federal, state, or local officer, or member of an organized rescue or firefighting force, in the performance of an official duty.

    6. Persons conducting activities in those designated areas where the activity is specifically authorized by written posted notice.

    7. All land within a city boundary (unless otherwise restricted).

    With the extreme temperatures and drought the region is experiencing, fire managers are asking the public to be extra cautious when spending time outdoors. As a reminder, you should never use fireworks on state and private forestland and rangeland and on public lands, roads, and trails. Possession and/or use of fireworks is always prohibited on federal public lands.
