Uline, owned by the Unihleins. They contribute millions of dollars to the most extreme republicans in Illinois and other states. They funded Bruce Rauner and Daren Bailey. They were behind fake newspapers being mailed and fearmongering cashless bail.

They are also behind the scheme to have a downstate judge try to hold the governor in contempt over mask mandates.

They also help run "Illinois policy institute"

I think the proposed homes near the highway should be forested as a buffer.

It's a license plate camera. Operated by a private company called "flock safety" which provides the database to law enforcement agencies everywhere. Anyone with access to the database can look through it without a warrant.

Which project would be best for a local community hub? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Mastadon? Lemmy? It would probably have to be standalone so people would't be turned off from the content from the rest of the fediverse unless there's a way to prevent federated content from showing on the instance. Just a place to post local news and discussions, maybe a place to sell secondhand. I live near a huge college with a major cs program, so I should be able to get users.

Only getting video output from the motherboard. It did this with Budgie on top of stock Ubuntu and with the Budgie "flavor" freshly installed.

I have an Intel A310 in an HP prebuilt, so that's probobly the issue.

If you think a game should be higher or lower in ranking, then upvote or downvote it. If you don't see a game on the list that you think should be on the list then create a top level reply with the name and system.

The inside of a snowman could be warmer than the outside. (sh.itjust.works)
 

If you built a snowman during the day the snow only needs to be below freezing. It can get colder that night or the next day by quite a bit. The exterior of the snowman would be colder than the inside even though they're both frozen.

I Replaced the headlight bulbs on the car today. (sh.itjust.works)
 

We recently purchased a new (to us) family car and I've been addressing some of the neglected maintenance items. The low beam headlights were extremely dim, yet the high beams were very bright. Incandescent bulbs become dimmer over time. I purchased some which were recommended by the forum for my specific vehicle for only $15 on the rain forest site. They are quite a bit brighter now and I feel much safer driving at night.
