owning a hammer is not a crime, bashing in a car window with it is.
also, it is currently illegal for car owners to put custom firmware in their cars & there is no open standard to allow 3rd party software. all stolen cars should be refunded by the manufacturer for forcing us to use their shitty soft/firmware.
that picture hurts. “End Bike Lane” painted on the bike lane.
i have a regular appointment once a week that i ride ~1hr to get to (& an hr home), and i have had to memorize how to ride my bike because of these.
at one point, i get to cross 4 lanes of traffic unprotected just over the cusp of a hill (goes over the freeway) to get to the other side of the street’s path because that is the intended bike path over that bridge. i havent found a good alternative yet, its scary :/
my parents bought a house in 1988 for $125k.
over the years, they took out 3 HELOC’s on it.
they are currently paying off ~$125k.
the house is worth ~$1.6M.
i cant.
it can make them more brittle (eapecially alongside prolonged time in the elements outside), but in a controlled environment like this it should be fine for a while :)
the first “R” is silent in worcester. ye olde english strikes again!
i have been trying to understand what information i send to people and how i send it in an attempt to try and get as lottle data into msrecall as possible.
im not quite there yet (and probably wont be before the oct cutoff) because my mother still uses windows & emails me sometimes, and a few of my friends on discord use windows. its really difficult because i have no control over my data being scraped by products i do not use and have never accepted a eula for. its… aggravating :(
tell your friends.
there is a reaching hand that goes further than just using it for work.
lets say you open libreoffice writer and write a party invite. you send this party invite to a friend - they are invited to your party.
your friend opens it in MSWord, its uploaded to the cloud and scraped for all of your personal data to train their AI and to be sold to the lowest bidder.
you had and want nothing to do with microsoft, but they are still harvesting your data.
company ruins life of employee: stonk
employee ruin company: immediate imprisonment
edit:
Ultimately, Eaton Corp. bore substantial costs getting its network back online
actually, it did nothing to the company but cost it a few bucks. do not pass go/collect $200.
this person was not fired, he was laid off. he was not actively harming the company until the company ruined his life.
i had forgotten about this gem. also one of the greatest hits.
i have no idea how many times i had to tell my parents and grandparents that we have decided to not have children, but over the course of ~6-8ish years, it was consistently asked more than once every time we saw each other.
was not a big fan of having other people’s wants being thrust into my life as if they are more important than my own.
thankfully, still kid free at 41.
aaahhh, okay; thank you! i am on the west cost where all trains go as fast as heavy freight, heh.
tracks in the US usually have freight heavy rail on them, anyways, so you’ll probably get 4 minutes at that speed before travelling 40mph for the rest of the trip. :/
this kinda made me giggle:
…so that no hitches were sticking out into traffic
they are all sticking out into a pedestrian walkway.
$1400 is extremely cheap here. its honestly closer to double that and smaller than what one expects.

vote.
i selfhost gitlab for my own use. its similar to github, but is a bit of a resource hog and the project tracking is a bit wonky to use. i have heard gitea is really low resource usage, but has fewer features.
good point; i was thinking school bus. he could also have a stable job ensuring everyone has transportation in his community. still kinda hot
so he has a stable job that helps children (and by proxy their families) with daily life. that sounds pretty hot to me?
i know it seems like a minor thing, but dear news: please refer to those with no party preference as such. we are not all voting for the independent party.

edit: also acceptable is “Other” or “Third Party” for those aligned with a party that isnt D/R
