That comes out to about 22 minutes per trip (or 44 minutes a day), assuming we’re talking about 5 days a week, not 7 days a week; that’s pretty wild to think about for only a 10km trip.

Block the communities hosting them.

Let’s say in your example, Lisa and John both have successful careers. They get married, have kids, and agree that they don’t both need to be working, so John keeps his job and Lisa takes care of the kids, takes care of the house, etc.

Twenty years later, they get divorced. Lisa now has a 20-year gap in her resume and her skillset is dated and she’s functionally unemployable in her previous career. John has built up 20 years of expertise and has a successful career ahead of him.

Equitable distribution of assets is only part of it - future prospects need to be considered, as well.

If there’s a fuel shortage, maybe using it on cremations isn’t the best use…

“this is not the technology of Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, or Rheinmetall”.

Well, it sure seems to be getting good results, and for a minuscule fraction of the cost, so maybe Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, and Rheinmetall should catch the fuck up.

And supreme court justices.

This was the biggest hurdle to me making the switch - I didn’t have a support network, and while I’m tech savvy enough to research my own solutions, it was scary to potentially be out a computer while doing so. In reality, it was a non-issue. Answers are easy to find and even CLI solutions usually just amounted to copying a command from a forum post and pasting it into the terminal. Obviously not the best security to be running terminal commands you don’t understand but it was a good way to learn (for me).

Point being, if it’s someone who isn’t completely helpless, teaching them “Just type ‘debian’ + ‘problem’ into Google” will probably solve 90% of issues a non-power-user is going to have.

Give it a lick…

Actually, maybe don’t do that. Definitely do not.

We were using one for game consoles and 2 TVs but it was a long time ago. The exact name of what you want is an ‘HDMI Matrix Switcher’ and what you’ll very quickly see when you search that up is that the prices range wildly and go up into the thousands - you don’t need something of that caliber (that’s professional AV equipment level), but you should expect to pay a few hundred for one that has enough outputs.

If it’s only displays being shared and not keyboards / mice / etc., there’s HDMI switchers that operate on a many-to-many basis (where you can have multiple inputs, multiple outputs, and route them as you please). You press the button for the output, then press the button for the input you want to route there, and they all work independently. Those definitely work with consoles. This isn’t exactly what OP is looking for, as the ones I’ve used don’t let you save ‘scenes’ like they’re describing, but they do let you switch displays around easily. Some of them are sketchy with PCs; whether OP wants one that lets the PCs think all of the monitors are always plugged in, or one that makes them think the monitors have been disconnected is kind of up to personal preference but that’s a consideration.

That looks pretty delicious, not going to lie.

Why does a general strike have to be organized?

Because we have like, 350 million people here, and if it’s not organized, you just have a tiny insignificant percentage buying less and the economy doesn’t even notice.

If “buy less stuff” was all it took, well… I’ve been doing that for years, so why isn’t the problem solved yet? It’s because the vast majority of people aren’t. It needs an organized effort to get the word out, and to make people who otherwise wouldn’t engage understand the potential impact, and how to realize that.

There’s also the problem where a prolonged general strike would mean a huge number of people would lose their health care and wouldn’t be able to pay rent or buy food and that’s simply not sustainable. I’m not sure how to overcome that problem, and so far nobody else seems to, either.

Wow, that sounds awesome. Will definitely check that out - thanks!

If we hadn’t let hour+ long commutes in places with no reasonable public transport become normalized, it’d be much less of a problem. Americans routinely drive distances that would make Europeans slackjawed and for no good reason.

You’re right, I did! In my defense, it’s been 20+ years since I’ve played it. Maybe I should change that.

God supports atrocities as long as they’re perpetrated by followers, rather than against them.

Until the other issue highlighted in that comment - that the majority of people can’t afford to take the time off work to do something disruptive - is solved, I’m not sure how we get from here to there, unfortunately.

Just search for ‘no kings march 2026’ and you’ll get pages of results.

They’re saying that if 90% of all games that exist were new each year, the number of games that would have to release each year to achieve it would be exponentially increasing and therefore unsustainable. The facts are simple math.
