Yep, just now realizing my mistake. Thanks, I’ll edit!

More Doctors Smoke Camels Than Any Other Cigarette, September 2, 1946 in c/vintageads@sh.itjust.works

I remember my Dad telling me this was something that happened - these ads with smoking and doctors - and it blew my mind even in the 80’s when seatbelts weren’t really a thing yet.

The article itself says:

The same day Taylor Swift posted a message encouraging her followers to register to vote, over 35,000 people reportedly made a “Run (Taylor’s Version)” to do so on Vote.org

Edit: I had clicked the wrong link. OP’s headline is thankfully correct!

Now let’s recruit the K-Pop stans and only then will our victory be truly complete. We must unite these 2 forces for good.

Oh it gets better than that - sometimes it’s several times a year because often they just kick the can down the road for 3 or 5 months then have to revisit it again.

I read about enough as I could stomach, and I saw the thing about the fire. I had to nope out after that.

Do we know if the poor cat made it after all of this abuse? Was it possible someone rescued it? I want to believe :(

He said something to effect of ‘this country is being run by miserable childless cat ladies who want to make everyone else miserable just like them’.

A bidet.

But seriously - you and others already mentioned the quesadillas, so I’ll add pintos and cheese as a side.

It’s just beans and cheese and their sauce in a little bowl but it’s good.

Also, do they still have meximelts? Can’t remember if they did away with them or not. Oh and gorditas.

Yeah, I’ve watched some of his stuff before but I also like a variety of opinions and maybe some additional unexpected advice, as was the case here with another reply.

What a dumb fucking rule or clause or whatever regardless of the specific topic.

“We can’t talk about any topic that might make any 1 out of ~ 30 people sad or uncomfortable.”

That’s so subjective…any topic could do that. I guess that’s the point though.

iPhone 15 Pro keeps randomly dropping wifi (sh.itjust.works)
 

I upgraded from a 13 Pro to a 15 Pro. So far the only internet I’ve connected to since I got the phone is at home, but with 2 different networks (one is 5g but otherwise same router and everything).

I never updated the 13 Pro to iOS 17 because I knew I would be upgrading soon, but I never had this issue with any former phone and have been on this same internet setup since 2016.

I have an iPad Mini 6 that I did update to iOS 17, and it’s fine.

I’ve tried resetting network settings, turning off Wi-Fi assist, turning off networking and wireless in location services-> system services (saw that as a potential fix), and restarting multiple times, but it still randomly drops my WiFi signal on both home networks.

Everything else wrt network/connection on my previous phone is the same - VPN setup, etc.

My SO has a 14 pro & did update to 17 and does not have this problem.

Does anyone have any ideas? I’ve searched for answers and I see that this has been an issue off and on for the past few years, but one of the fixes I mentioned above usually seems to help I guess because I haven’t seen any other suggestions.

Could it be the phone itself? Is it worth exchanging it for another one before the 2 weeks runs out?

Thanks everyone.

New Orleans archbishop ignored board findings on clerics accused of abuse (www.theguardian.com)
 

A board which helps the Roman Catholic archbishop of New Orleans, Gregory Aymond, evaluate abuse allegations against priests and deacons in six cases found clergymen to be credibly accused only for Aymond to ignore the findings and conceal them from the public, a Guardian investigation has found.

Request: Option to change location of comment voting button(s) (sh.itjust.works)
 

Lemmios is my favorite iOS Lemmy app so far, but I find that when I go to upvote a comment using the voting button next to the commenter’s username (top), I inadvertently collapse the comment.

Would it be possible to have both voting buttons either on the right side like posts have, or at the bottom?

I understand gestures are an option, it’s just a personal preference with the voting buttons. Old habits die hard :)

And if this feature exists, I apologize for missing it. I have looked for it in the settings but did not see such an option. Thank you for such great work with Lemmios!
