The death of the public restroom is a tragedy.

About one week on:

Up $1. Just over a week ago it was ~$2.70.

We have the same problems reddit does. It’s just that it’s a smaller userbase and downvoted comments don’t disappear here like they get pushed down on reddit. So you don’t get downvoted as much, but your controversial or unpopular take remains visible for opposing opinions to attack. And yeah, there are mini-brigades here too. Make a comment about a subject that has importance to a particular instance and you get insta-downvoted multiple times, but your post will probably recover as the rest of the groups view the conversation.

Still can’t. Seems to come and go, anyway. Sometimes situationally. It can be crystal clear and the required reciprocal actions come easily. Other days it’s like looking at a book with blank pages.

That’s the one.

The OG one.

Jesus christ.

I think I win.

Not many cars are worth that.

Ugh. Cheaper to start with one half-fixed up than deal with that.

Aw, poor car. Probably cost too much to rebuild.

‘72 Bronco. Wish I still had it. They go for stupid money these days.

That’s the point. This is three on the tree. Not an automatic column shifter.

I’m old enough to have owned a car with one of these:

It’s kinda metal, every bit as metal as it is unusual.

Look at RFK. Shipped off to private schools and spent plenty of that time getting kicked out and transferred to other private schools because he was a dick and on drugs.

Right? He was a president who came out of the military during WW2. Not sure what people expected, a conscientious objector? The times got what the times were, no other kind of person would have been elected so soon postwar. Heck, he even advised that gunhappy ass MacArthur not to get involved in the Bonus Army debacle and pushed back against McCarthyism. Eisenhower, as much as he could, wanted to rein in the MIC in his “Chance for Peace” speech. Balanced against any modern president’s failings and with his social and public works programs I think the vast majority of people would find it a relief to have a president like him today.

Hardware rarely seems to be the issue with major distros. I have had zero trouble with hardware for years now with a big distro like Ubuntu. Some of the smaller or lightweight distros? Absolutely, a mixed bag of hammers not knowing what will work. Usually wireless internet, but sometimes it’s something weird like an NVMe not working or some USB driver.

Software OTOH is a really big problem. Software controlling hardware, for instance gaming gear like a joystick/throttle setup, RGB gear or pwm pumps for cooling, is nowhere near as comprehensive or user friendly, if it exists at all; and of course plenty of games and other windows/mac only software doesn’t exist for Linux or might work in something clunky like Wine.

Linux can’t do it all, but devs have little incentive to make things linux compatible. Why deal with the headache of trying to get their software to work on a bunch of different distros when Windoze and Mac are still working fine.

Took me a minute to remember AiGen of images makes this a possible thing.

10 seconds thought would have stopped you from making this comment.

These are some of my favorites I’m sharing, not yours. Ain’t nobody making you watch any of them.

Ouch
