In 2018 Wisconsin passed a new free speech on campus law to be better able to punish people who protested conservative speakers. This chancellor brought an adult film actress to campus as a speaker. He was admonished for it by the system president and had a pay increase withheld. So the "free speech" people responded exactly how you might expect.

Sad end of an era. My mother has been using the DVD service from pretty early on. Her internet isn't consistently fast enough to stream.

Random thoughts: Why are we heating tap water so hot if we almost never use tap water that hot? in c/green@lemmy.ml

Where I live, the ground water is cold enough that you need a heavy duty tankless if you want an electric one. The alternative is a gas version, but I don't really want to add a gas appliance to my house if I can avoid it.
