My regular carry right now when I step out of the house includes:

• A leather wallet my grandpa gave me (the circle imprints are from the quarters I use to get a shipping cart at aldi)
• A hankerchief I made with my freind when she taught me how to use a sewing machine for the first time
• My trusty Casio a700
• An old field notes notebook. We had a bunch left over from Geo-Caching when I was in scouts a kid
• A muji gel pen (I adore these pens 10/10)

And my keys with

• A keychain from when my friend took me to see a league of legends semifinals that was being played near us
• Two mini library cards
• And a medication container I keep melatonin and some ADHD meds in (Non-stimulant, not that I expect cops will care if I'm pulled over 😅)

This is from Durham NC, so the text is a silly "Durham" pun. And the local mascot is a bull, so a lot of Durham themed stuff features a bull

Forgive my very sleep deprived face and weird-ass glasses, I'm not normally awake during the day and the glasses help with my sleep disorder 😅

Feel free to post your voting pictures or "I voted" stickers in the comments; seeing them makes me happy!

An interesting old video on communication. It shaped a lot of my thoughts about communication from a young age and I recently watched it again and remembered how much I love it all over again

Also, yes it's by the guy who does the "true facts about" videos

Radiofreefedi.net is a super cool internet radio with a couple stations that plays music from fediverse artists, along with a "words" station that plays non-music stuff like podcasts or other kinds of spoken programming

I've really enjoyed it and only learned about it cause someone here on lemmy mentioned it in passing, I thought I'd share so other folks know about it as well :)

One of the biggest obstacles facing workers issues in the US is the disproportionate representation that corporate interests recieve, due to funding campaigns indirectly through citizens united. Bernie highlights the end of citizens' united, and public funding for political campaigns as key pathways to fix the outsized political impact of corporate interests

As long as corporate interests bankroll political campaigns, the people we can vote for will be elected partially at the behest of companies, and will have a conflict of interest in representing American workers

The LCS uploaded this today, it ended up being genuinely super fun. Was a really lovely way to start my day

Hello, I broke my laptop about a week ago and could use a hand figuring out the best approach for recovering the files when my new laptop arrives

The laptop was running fedora and would have used whatever encryption option is default in the fedora installer (The laptop required a password before it'd fininish booting so I'm pretty confident it was encrypted), which I believe would be LUKS?

If I understand correctly the ssd is a socketed sata drive, so I figured I'd buy a sata drive enclosure when I get my new laptop that'd let me plug it in via USB

I have the password I needed to boot when the device was working, if I get a sata enclosure can I access the files?

Any input, guidance, thoughts or suggestions are appreciated :)

I really enjoyed the well researched video Fortnine put together on how grille height is the greatest predictor of pedestrian collision fatality.

I don't totally belong in this community as I rather like cars & motorcycles (but not how dependent our society is on them), but I really enjoyed the well researched video Fortnine put together on how the height of the front bumper/grille is the greatest predictor of pedestrian collision fatality and I felt it'd be a good fit for the community :)

Even as more of a car enthusiast, it's very frustrating how regulations intended to improve emissions have inadvertently resulted in basically every car on the road being a towering murder-behemoth that isn't actually even practical for their "intended" purposes (Speaking about trucks and SUVs since in my mind at least they're supposed to be utility vehicles for getting stuff done. Truck beds are the same size, but far harder to reach/see into, and get stuff out off for really no benefit whatsoever, and also have crap visibility)

I'm sure the way he voices certain things will be frustrating to some folks in this community, and thats fair- I think there's still merit to the way he's trying to push for a single small change that'd make a really big impact on safety (assuming legislators are willing to bite the bullet and actually do something for once). I try to be an ally to the ideas of making society less car-dependent even coming from a different perspective, and I hope y'all can see the value of folks in the enthusiast world as allies to the cause even if we don't share perspectives on everything. (For context, Fortnine is a motorcycling YouTube channel, and is as such obviously run by folks who love and care about motorcycling)

Hopefully this knowledge being more commonplace and widely discussed can more quickly result in legislation that makes cars far safer for pedestrians and cyclists

Hope y'all have a good day :)

Edit: added some context regarding Fortnine that intended to include but initially forgot

A bowl of somewhat lazy tomato based curry made with stew beef and served with jasmine rice, some toasted naan with garlic honey butter, and garnished with some cilantro :)

(Somewhat lazy because I cheated making the "sauce", using a jar of curry sauce in addition to the aromatics I fried up, supplemented with a bunch of additional spices)

Thanks for your help, and happy to be a part of this community ☺️
