Tell me you don’t understand a first past the post voting system without telling me.

For real though, you sound like an idealist, a perfectionist, who lets good be the enemy of perfect. I don’t think you actually want a conversation - you want others to hear your voice and opinion.

We don’t grow our crops in a desert. They grow in very specific regions of the world, often in areas that are suitable due to natural formations and easily obtainable water. Most of Canada is forested land that is uninhabited with no infrastructure such as roads, running water, or electricity - not to mention there has never been a large agricultural presence in those areas, so it would have to be started from scratch, if it is possible at all.

When you say we’ll huddle around the proverbial fires, it might be a very small human population. Our civilization (likely including both of us) probably won’t be around at that point.

Plants don’t grow without light. Plants can’t survive extreme heat and drought.

Once it gets too hot or too dry to grow crops, it won’t matter anymore. Call me a doomer, but we aren’t doing enough to stop that future from happening.

Looked down at my printer and realized it was a Brother. Didn’t have to do anything special, it just worked.

What in the actual fuck

I switched to Ubuntu 22.04 on 2023-12-31. I had used a bunch of other distros back in 2008-2012, then got tired of manually tweaking things constantly. Things have come a long way and there are way more options to make things work. I don’t have to spend hours on the CLI or reboot frequently.

So yeah, I’m going to stick with Ubuntu for a bit, then switch to something else.

Yeah, well it works for me.

Ubuntu 22.04 server. It works well enough for my purposes and until it doesn’t I don’t see a reason to switch distros.

I got a Chevy Bolt 1LT (cheapest I could find with federal/state tax credits) and it’s the lowest maintenance car I’ve ever owned. No oil changes - literally just rotate your tires every 7500 miles. Less than $4 per charge to 90% (about 200-260 miles depending on how much I use the climate control). Parallel parking is super easy. Infotainment kind of sucks, but Android Auto makes it way better.

I don’t understand why they want to kill these cars other than they aren’t making enough money.

If the way things are going is no one owns anything they buy, then the incentive to buy things drops significantly.

I have a similar model washer/dryer and refuse to put it on my wifi. I only want it to wash and dry.

Appreciate the tip! I have found that at my level (IC4 close to IC5) it’s not so much what you know but whether you are a good culture fit.

Indeed or LinkedIn, mostly

Network Engineer here and it has gotten much harder to get even a call back from a recruiter.

I’m sorry, a SWITCH being backdoored when they are 95% not exposed to the internet?

I always thought they were parallel universes or the same one on an endless time loop with infinite variations

Still using a super old wlan usb adapter and I’m like, it just works!

Walternate from Fringe. Absolutely beautifully acted and exactly what I’d expect from a man who had his child abducted from a parallel version of himself.

Damn I have to read that book again
