That would be a cabin that dates to the mid-1800s now preserved as a museum.

Ubuntu is dead on the desktop.

The one that does what I need it to do on the device I’m running it on. I’ve currently got four different Linux distros on x86 PCs around my house at this moment.

Memes cant! I like it.

This is human smoke. Don’t breathe this.

under my brutal dictatorship, laptop power buttons may not be a key on the keyboard. It must be a separate button elsewhere on the chassis.

The motherboard header should be a standard pinout to make it possible to make a solid connector. That should be part of the ATX standard.

The cable from the case…the PC I just built has no reset switch, the power button light is controlled by the case’s built-in RGB controller, there’s no hard drive access light because it’s the distant space year 2024…turns out the only thing plugged into that header on my machine is the power switch itself.

Having an electronics hobby, having played with Raspberry Pis and Arduinos and such, building things like 3D printers, I’m used to dealing with those little 0.1 inch DuPont connectors, everyone else has a fit about them but they’re not that bad.

I’ve noticed this on zip top food packaging; it’s as if the zipper is a separate piece of plastic that is very weakly glued to the bag itself and it doesn’t extend to the outer lips where you pull it open, so you end up separating one side of the bag from the zipper.

Brian Brushwood once referred to the reverse of the USD $1 bill as “a ticket to the illuminati show.”

Fun fact: The Great Seal of the United States of America has a front and a back just like a coin. The eagle with the shield and the olive branch and the arrows is the front, the All Seeing Pyramid is the back. And while the Obverse of the Great Seal is used quite a lot, the only prominent use of the reverse is on the $1 bill.

Red/green colorblindness is a thing. I would suggest a flashing lamp for charging and a steady light for charged.

Keep the roof watertight, keep the toilet flushing, keep oil in the engines, keep gas in the tanks, keep at least a week of food in the pantry. Literally nothing else on this earth matters if you don’t have these five things done.

Sure. Whatever.

If you’ve got to lose weight, you cut out the fat, not the muscle.

If you care about the environment, target the worst, least necessary things first. You don’t genuinely care about the environment though.

Is that the drivers’ fault, or the highway engineers’ fault? Why isn’t the highway designed to handle anticipated traffic?

If I leave my car somewhere because a group of people gave me no choice but to do so, yes it is stolen.

Are you planning to do this? Do I need to contact the authorities?

So I ask again, did the protesters just steal a car?

I would say the very second passenger car traffic exceeds the environmental impact of the cruise industry. How much environmental damage does Carnival Cruise Lines do compared to all the highway traffic in the United States? We’re talking an entirely recreational industry here, if all cruise ships disappeared tomorrow society would keep right on rolling. Cases of norovirus would decrease.

You want passenger rail to increase in the United States? Great. Let’s start with Amtrak’s website. I live within walking distance of an active Amtrak station. Several times in my life I’ve had a want or need to travel cross country, and it occurred to me “I wonder if I could take the train.” The answer, inevitably, is no. I go to Amtrak’s website, pick a starting station and a destination station, and usually they outright can’t plan a trip between those locations. Not even capable of saying things like “take the Silver Star to Grand Central station in New York, wait 8 hours, then take the Lake Shore Limited to Chicago.” It proved to be less work on my part to drive, fly as a passenger on an airliner, and fly as pilot of a Cessna, than take the train in this country.

And what part of that is my personal fault?
