What lies were people fed about Tuxcart?

Trump inherited a booming economy from Obama and it was starting to decline in 2019 even before COVID hit. Often the president’s policies have an indirect effect at best, but economists generally agree that Trump’s policies were accelerating the decline in 2019. Obviously, the pandemic muddled everything in 2020, but the short answer is “no:” Trump took a good economy and was slowly killing it.

80 years of economic data has shown that Republican economic policies simply don’t work:

Take him outside on a leash?

Contained? Sure. Letting them run wild in areas where they’re not native makes them have the same effect as an invasive species.

It’s not ethical to let your cats outside at all.

The original Dawn of the Dead, with Night of the Living Dead, Braindead, Fido, Reanimator, Black Sheep, and Cemetery Man all being close contenders.

Dpkg is the low level tool for Debian packages.

Apt-get is the original frontend for dpkg. It is a full featured tool that lets the user give commands to dpkg, along with apt-cache, which displays information to the user.

Apt is a high level tool for user friendliness. It combines some features from apt-get and apt-cache, as well as adds progress bars and other quality of life features. It also strips down some features the average user doesn’t use.

So neither is a wrapper for the other. They are two similar tools that do the same job. Apt-get is better for scripting due to being a more rigid tool while apt is nicer for end users.

Sure you can!

Get a coin, and flip it 100 times. Record each time it lands on heads/tails.

Now get a devout believer, and have the believer continuously say devout prayers petitioning God to make the coin read heads. Then, flip the coin 100 times, and record heads/tails.

Do statistical analysis to see whether there is a statistically significant difference between the control group and the prayer group. Pretty easy to verify if true.

Lemmy’s feed is 1000% better. No constant reposts, no ads, and ability to filter out read posts so it’s actually unique every day. I like it way better for news than reddit.

Reddit is better for browsing individual communities.

Jumanji 2-3, Super Mario, Borderlands: Jack Black is a sucker for silly video game roles.

Matt Berry…

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow

I’m kind of annoyed that their cover of Ecstasy of Gold didn’t make it onto Garage Inc.

An end of summer weekend getaway to a lake resort with the wife and kid. We’re planning to rent a speedboat and go hog wild.

Metallica - 2x4. It actually got me to stop my listen through of their albums one song into Load, and was a week or two before I pushed through to the rest of the album.

St. Anger has some boring songs, but this song I actively loathe.

I too am still using my hotmail from around 1997.

Similar premise but very different tone. The show is more of a survival drama while the movie is much more surrealist.

Decent TV show as well.

The Mexican president said earlier this week he would wait for Venezuela’s election results to be reported fully before he recognized a winner.

^^ This is a much more accurate description of the situation. Mexico isn’t explicitly backing Venezuela’s regime, it’s refusing to take sides.

The API got me interested. Now I use both. Lemmy has no ads, better news, and better apps (currently on Arctic.) Reddit has a better desktop experience (well, new.reddit, I hate old.reddit and new new reddit) and better niche subs. I’d love it if Lemmy grew enough so that the niche experience reddit offers became viable.
