until you grow old

Really hope they mean “as you grow old”.

This would make traveling to Italy so much more convinient.

Let me know if I got this correct.

• Perry drives his car, through a red light, into a crowd of protesters.
• After the collision, Garret Foster approaches the vehicle while legally openly carrying an AK-47
• Perry shoots and kills Foster.
• Perry’s admits that the legal weapon was not being aimed at him. In his own words “I believe he was going to aim it at me … I didn’t want to give him a chance to aim at me, you know.”
• Perry has a history of “racist and inflammatory social media posts”
• Perry’s own defense team admits to him having “psychological issues, including complex post-traumatic stress disorder”

This is who Texas Governor Greg Abbott pushed to be pardoned? Is that correct?

Thought they might sell these specialty tools online, but 3 minutes of searching came up with nothing. Might be time to get creative.

Do you have the room to get a Dremel in there the cut it so a regular flathead will work?

If not, maybe try to use needle noise pliers as your screwdriver.

As a last resort, pick up a cheap screwdriver and cut it to make it slotted.

Edit: I love how quickly several people have commented with links to the needed tools. Thanks to all of you!

• he’s adamant that I don’t visit him
• He’s saying that we probably won’t see each other again for at least a year
• We had made plans to move closer to each other, but he recently decided to move in with a friend instead

These are all huge red flags. My guess, from these alone, is that he has moved on (or is ready to), but doesn’t have the courage to tell you directly and is hoping you will either do the breaking up for him or you will just drift away.

Folk is pretentious? It literally means common people, the opposite of pretentiousness. I am thinking that you don’t have much familiarity with the word nor the people that use it. It does not carry the meaning that you seem to think it does.

You are likely hearing /seeing it being used by people raised in an area where that is common vernacular to casually identify a group of people that share a culture.

Yeah, it’s this generation that is the problem and not a systemic issue of employers wanting slaves instead of employees.

Which generation exactly is supposed to be the “workshy” one?

Is each instance like another person with a server?

Yeah. I would assume that most, if not all, open instances are going through a 3rd party hosting service, but nothing stopping them from being hosted on hardware in somebodies home.

Could that person just shut it down whenever they wanted to?

Yup. Anytime and for any reason. It might cause a moment of disruption, but the beauty of federation is that you can always setup an account on a new instance or create your own.

Are there any companies that have invested in hosting Lemmy/ other fediverse servers?

Yes. The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Facebook federating their Threads services. I’m sure that there are others.
