I mean this is sorta one of the things an autocracy does well. You might get substandard work and a lot of graft but when the order comes down no one gets to complain when they run a train line through your house.

Garlic is actually pretty easy to grow, the main issue you will have in an apartment is where you are going to hang it to store it for the rest of the year

There is a link to a live demo pretty close to the top.

I mean this is a false dichotomy. You can have a payment system that isn’t a shit show like crypto or a duopoly like Visa and Mastercard.

I think we need to take a bit of a step back and consider what kind of shed we might use to store this wheel…

All capacitors fail but items from around the time e machines were selling have capacitor plague and are thus more likely to fail.

I’m not sure that’s how I would describe his last 25 years. He was shuffling around on the Osbournes a quarter century ago looking a little worse for ware for someone in their early fifties.

My guess is this is for the oil fields in some way since you could get a crew into one vehicle.

Never the less the fact that they choose a pickup truck when they could have had a really sweet off road van is depressing. You can’t account for taste I guess.

Technically all fruits are vegetables since a vegetable is just a plant we eat.

You won’t get disappeared so long as you’re parent country is on good terms with China. If not you make a convenient pawn.

It would have to be millenials since Gen z exist almost entirely in the walled garden of a phone app.

Most people now a days don’t even use a desktop with a browser. I honestly expect that most of what they are “seeing” is just web scrapers for the LLM. Those are likely to “block” ads simply based on efficiency, since it shows down crawling.

What is it about flat warm soda that appeals to you?

No no, it is the algorithm. There was nothing they could do. Hands were tied and you can’t blame them because the algorithm did it.

The reality is more like there are just a few massive suppliers for restaurants. Sysco just offers paper straws and removes plastic ones and every establishment just orders a different SKU the next week.

Honestly I don’t give one shit about the paper straws. I wonder if the people who don’t like them let their drinks sit for hours and chew on the straw till they’re soggy. Every paper straw I’ve had has lasted the length of time it takes me to drink the drink.

Still banning those things but not fucking everything else in the supermarket that is packaged in plastic is such a massive and stupid waste of everyone’s time and effort. Such an imperceptible inch forward they almost deserve no praise at all.

I mean sure, but I’ve been stuck at lights that long too

Low tech users used to have cheap windows machines, now they have phones and tablets.
