You don’t need a PDF editor to create PDF’s, you can print to PDF in any program that can print, including LibreOffice Writer.

My how our education system has utterly failed the last two or three generations. Personal finances used to be taught in High School economics, including how to track spending. With the tap, swipe and scan payments we have these days, few people even keep a record of their spending other than perhaps the account balance. I use a checkbook program and spreadsheet together to keep track of where my money goes, and reconcile it with my bank statement every month to be sure everything adds up. This does mean I have to get paper receipts when I can’t get a digital one, but living your life means you can’t just float around through life expecting the apps and electronics to keep you on track, you have to do some work.

You can’t simply go with the manufacturing emissions, you have to look at the entire life cycle of the vehicles in question.

I’m marinating a salmon steak in an Asian sauce mixture, and roasting that. I’ll make some fried rice and steam some broccoli, and pour the remaining sauce from the salmon over the broccoli. This is something I meant to do last night but didn’t get around to it, so it’s my christmas eave dinner tonight.

Maybe take it up with his boss? I really can’t see the restaurant caring one way or another, as long as the shift is covered by someone qualified to do the job.

BBSes were pre-public internet, not part of the internet. The connected ones were a separate network in and of themselves. I ran a WWIV BBS in the late 80s to early 90s that had its own networking system allowing communication, and even file sharing between instances. It was pretty sophisticated for the time, but hella slow over my 14.4k modem.

WWIV did migrate to using the internet for connection, and maybe others did as well. Perhaps that’s what you were considering with this comment?

I moved to Reddit when Digg destroyed itself. It wasn’t too hard to make the switch, although it did take a bit of getting used to. I imagine it’ll be the same this time, or maybe a bit easier, as the format of lemmy.ml is not too different in appearance from Reddit.
