Just so everyone knows. Child poverty went down because Dems had enough power to expand the child tax credit as part of Bidens American rescue plan. The expanded credit then expired and Republicans have blocked passage of the renewed expansion. This is another thing where Republicans will do anything to harm Democrats including voting against extremely popular programs. I agree that it sucks the poverty went back up, but Dems reduced it and Republicans increased it.

I can't find a solid confirmation but it looks like as part of the law killing the strike and enacting the recommendations of the emergency board, the attendance rules creating points was vacated without further agreements from the unions. So from what I can tell, your statement is incorrect. I looked up the emergency board's recommendations but I didn't do a deep dive into the law to confirm. Link to the recommendations below.

If they did nothing then why did the IBEW thank them for the effort? Yea they didn't get everything they asked for, that's how negotions work. The people that were effected thanked the Biden admin, why don't you believe them? Also according to Reuters, most get 5 paid sick days + 2 convertibles.

I agree with you for the most part. That being said I have tried to explain this point to multiple people and they don't care that the Biden admin got the rail workers what they asked for. They insist that stopping the strike means Biden was anti union full stop even after the IBEW put out releases thanking the Biden admin. they also said it was just propaganda. It's just as much about people not wanting to listen.

I tried the purple cushion and it wasn't worth it. But besides that I don't have a recommendation.

You can also find steelcase chairs on eBay for reasonable prices. They have all the adjustments and a wide variety of material options.

US Elections question: Bernie Sanders said that the Democrats abandoned the working class, and the working class abandoned them. How is this true? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Yep you're wrong on 1. "The Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes Division of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters had asked railroads for seven days paid sick leave following the rejection of its contract earlier this month. Another union, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, rejected its contract in September in respect of other unions negotiating for additional benefits, though eventually voted to ratify"

I get what you are saying but it still isn't the complete story. Yes he didn't let them shut down a major pillar of our economy and at that time forced them to take an agreement that was basically everything they wanted except for off time. But his admin spent the months after getting those concessions from the railroads. The IBEW even thanked the admin for their work. He supported many other labor unions right to strike without interference.

Hair care product in c/[email protected]

You might look into the "curly girl" method, don't worry about the name it's just what it started out being called in the 80-90s. It helps people with any texture besides stick straight hair tame the friz. It's been pretty helpful for me to allow my actual curls out without being a puff ball. There's a community driven Google doc that has the concepts and best products. It wouldn't surprise me if you actually have all wavy hair, many people find that once they stop using products that weigh down hair, their hair texture increases.

Small VPN Access Device? (lemmings.world)

I think this fits the rules but If this doesnt let me know and I'll delete. Hey all, Overall problem statement: I'm looking for a small device (SBC if available) that I can use as a tail scale access point for travel and I'm hoping someone has done something similar. Basically I would like to have something small enough that I can toss in my travel bag that I can hook into a hotel network and have access to my home services (mainly jellyfin) on my kindle/work laptop. Not all of my devices support VPN or tailscale and having them already on a known network with built in VPN makes it 10x easier to deal with when traveling (login into hotel WiFi with a kindle Paperwhite sucks!) Ideally it would have dual gig Ethernet and built in WiFi. If this works out well enough I would like to give a few of these to the family so they can access things as well, so cost is a bit important.

I found a banana pi R3-mini that I thought would work out of the box (wifi6 + dual gig + small) but it seems too new for full software support with tail scale and I don't currently have the skills to roll my own software for it. Is there anything out there that you all have used for this type of use case?

I know I can switch to wire guard but I'm not confident I can set that up securely and reliably but if that's my only option I think I did find a good guide.

So I'm at a crossroads of learning to build my own openwrt install with the correct packages, learning how to setup wire guard, or asking for recommendations.

Edit: Thanks for all the recommendations. Looks like openwrt has released a new build for the banana pi that I have so I'm going to try that again before trying to setup wire guard. The GL.inet devices look like they have an older version of openwrt, so they support tailscale via the openwrt package manager but it can be unstable. Some people have even called it alpha on those devices. So I'm hoping the newest version on the bpi-r3 will allow a more stable tailscale. I'll try to report back once I play around with it more.
