No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•why does celebrating violence or simply wishing for bad things to happen to certain people (like trump) get you banned from sites like Twitter and reddit?

6·10 days agoAs this question appears to be based on The Big Lebowski (great movie!) you’ll have to ask the writers if you want to know.
Identify a skill that is in demand and find a way to learn it. That’s the only secret to having an income.

3·15 days agoWell I don’t know what to tell you friend. I’m as bathed in the blood as they come and this has not been my experience. Consider Proverbs 11:27
“Whoever seeks good finds favor, but evil comes to one who searches for it.”

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If Sodom and Gomorrah were real. How bad were they that god had to come down and smite them? Are they any comparison to today's society?
8·21 days agoThe Bible doesn’t say and there is no consensus among Biblical scholars about what the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah were. Some believe it was simply arrogance and inhospitality.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is anyone else apprehensive to down voting even if you're being down voted?
3·23 days agoI get into these comment chains from time to time where really no matter what I post whoever I’m talking to downvotes…
I suggest avoiding such comment chains. If the person you are talking to is downvoting everything you write then you can be certain you are wasting your time.
oh the irony

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•I am someone who works out daily and sweats a lot. Just doing laundry doesn't seem to adequately clean the underarms of my shirts. What are some ways to clean these areas of my clothing better?
11·25 days agoMy advise is to wear undershirts. Even the tank top ones will make a big difference in keeping your shirts clean.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How has Apple tricked so many people into believing that they "just need to get another Apple product"?
151·26 days agoPersonally, I don’t get why the solution to many of the issues people experience with Apple devices is to buy another one.
I’m not really familiar with this. My wife uses a macbook. She’s had it for 6 years and I can’t recall any real issues with it.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why don't urban/suburban streets and roads use a center storm channel?
7·27 days agoStorm drains, aqueducts, and swimming pools are typically made out of concrete because it has the right properties to deal with lots of water. Roads are typically paved with asphalt. Unlike concrete, asphalt is far more subject to damage from water.
One of the main purposes of crowned roads is to ensure that water flows off the asphalt quickly in thin sheets that don’t cause erosion. A heavy flow of water on asphalt causes too much erosion. Also, pooling or standing water seeps into asphalt and causes damage and structural problems. Especially in areas where the temperature gets low enough to freeze.
There are also other problems with V shaped roads, but avoiding water damage from pooling and erosion is the big one.
Slightly V shaped roads are used where cars don’t go, like in pedestrian shopping centers with outside walkways.

1·28 days agoI use Windows Server because that’s what I know. Though I am curious to learn other OSes when I have more time. I don’t use docker so that’s really not a problem for now.

5·30 days agoI didn’t. I don’t need remote access. We don’t watch TV outside the house.
When you say a “limited number of devices” do you mean a closed system when you have provisioned all the devices or do you mean you also need to be able to receive calls from standard phones?
To replace a landline you can just use a service like Vonage Home for about $10/month. If you want to setup your own PBX (phone system) for calling your own managed set of devices, then you need more. In any case, you always need a SIP service if you want to make and receive calls with regular phone numbers.
