I’m just this guy, you know. Except on Lemmy.
Can’t have pop up headlights or hood ornaments because they’re dangerous to pedestrians.
But you can have a hood that’s six feet tall because that’s totally safe for pedestrians.
White Sands Space Harbor
That is a really cool name
If they worked for democratic cooperatives and not dictatorial corporations they would have power to raise their pay and work less.
I think that was also around the time the timeline went from chronological to algorithm-based
This has always been the first stage of enshittification. Twitter back in 2007 was pretty nice. I made a lot of local friends because they’d post cat pictures and food pictures and we’d have meetups. Really great folks that I found because their posts showed up in a chronological feed alongside other ones I follow.
Then when they switched to an algorithmic feed all those posts by people with low follower counts got drowned out by ones with activity. My friends were still there, I just didn’t see them because The Algorithm decided I didn’t want to. I stopped using Twitter not long after that.
Or if you just want to inform management that more people won’t simply mean the work gets done much faster just give the example of “If takes 9 months for a woman to make a child, it doesn’t mean you can get 9 women and make a child in one month”
Management: “I don’t have time for theoretical discussions. Marketing says this releases in two weeks and you better get it done. Do you need more resources?”
The Prophecies have foretold it will be like Star Trek and it is our job to fulfill them.
The corned beef isn’t necessarily Irish, but putting it in a stew with cabbage and potatoes is the Irish bit
A traditional corned beef has potassium sulfate (saltpeter) which often had red dye in it, lending the meat a pink color. So it was also about making bad meat look better.
I remember folks at that other site bragging they were gonna use their stimmies to buy more stonks
My dad built two earth-sheltered, passive-solar houses that were always comfortable, required no cooling, and cost about $100 a month to heat over the winter. It’s absolutely do-able but you won’t get a house that looks like a “normal” house so people won’t be interested in buying them.
I’ve still got the plans and if I had my druthers I’d build a whole mess of them all over so people can see that sometimes weird is much better.
If cars got the same level of maintenance as planes and drivers got the same training as pilots I’d believe that.
The last time the climate changed this much it spelled the end of hereditary monarchies.
Maybe this one will end capitalism.
If goods get more volatile in price maybe crypto could actually be useful for commerce. “This box of pasta went up 30% before I got to checkout, but Bitcoin is up 50% in the same time frame so it’s okay.”
Something off topic about not wanting to live in a city. One of the reasons I’m big on urban renewal is maybe it will get more people to move into cities so there’s fewer of them in rural areas where I want to live.
Vermont has a program for remote workers to move there. I might take them up on it because there’s no amenities in a city that can beat the night sky in a place with little to no light pollution.

I was nervous before mine, but it wasn’t bad at all. The worst part was the slight pinch in my balls when they gave me the local anesthetic. It took about fifteen minutes, and I walked out just fine.
I sat on the couch all weekend and watched action movies which was awesome. Ibuprofen was more than enough for the pain, and I was able to do light house work in a couple days.
Get some reviews of doctors in your area, but I would definitely recommend getting one if you don’t want any kids.
