Cars might be the worst product category, full stop. They should reintroduce Truckasauruses to the wild so we can have walkable cities again. (Like when Yellowstone reintroduced wolves and everything got better.)

The FBI would never have anything to do with the word Hoover.

Seersucker suits and a good handkerchief. And you should say, “Heavens, it’s warm today.” and sup juleps.

I’m starting to think that ayatollah guy isn’t on the up and up. Been smoking those left-handed cigarettes if you ask me.

We should probably never underestimate some people’s addiction to clout.

If you’re just looking to learn something new, why not try an immutable OS like Fedora Silverblue? It’s an easier install than Arch, obviously, but there’s lots of differences from a standard distro. There’s security upsides but also consequences to work around.

I always thought the reason school days go from 7-3 or 8-4 (or whatever) is usually more about bus scheduling and logistics. And high schools historically start earliest (despite it being worse for teens) so older siblings will be home and can watch younger siblings after school.

Maybe that’s just what I was told growing up but if every school did 9-5, they would need more bus drivers.

I don’t think there should be blind hostility but it should be clear that any hint of embrace, extend, extinguish will result in hostile actions like defederation. I also don’t think targeted ad tech companies share the goals of the Fediverse. I wouldn’t be bothered if instances had sponsors (as in, “/Kbin is made possible by support from Cloudflare”) like all non-profit media. But any sort of targeted ads based on user activity/data should be ruled out as a way to fund the metaverse.
