I missed that phase because I was using Netscape.

I own a lifted hatchback with gravel tires that I occasionally take down timber trails to camp or shoot. That’s maybe why I understood what you meant. But the way it came across, it just sounded like you need to go hiking more :P

MOST humans are not gonna ever be vegan/vegetarian unless forced.

Maybe. What about you, though?

weeee!!

Also this is a healthy maintence regime. In my experience most cyclists do nothing on that list except swapping flat tubes and their bikes still ride just fine, if not merely sub-optimally.

Like a mechanical version of hiking

I can’t wait to describe driving this way to a friend so that we can both share in the laughter I’m enjoying right now.

My brother in christ, the reason we got this spread out in the first place was a robust national network of passenger rail lines.

Vegan here. Sticking to the two questions you asked before you got lost in scope creep and logical fallacy: I get my food from the supermarket, mostly. And it scales way better than animal ag because farming plants requires radically less resources per calorie than farming animals.

Just like most other positive decisions in the world, it’s not revolutionary on it’s own. Nor is it aiming to be, nor does it need to be.

Traveling across the entirety of the US by car in the middle of winter sounds fucking miserable. That’s what trains are for.

My local bike coop is full of very dependable, freshly tuned bikes that average around $150, built with love and care by expiriend mechanics. If you have issues with your bike, those same mechanics will guide you through the process of fixing it and give you access to every tool you could possibly need to do so, all for free or suggested donation.

You ever see a lewd that gets you realize you have a specific, reliable turn-on? This image did that to me, twice.

I don’t think any of the proxies or frontends have a good way around it yet, and google is clearly using it as a way to fuck with said frontends. Best practice suggestion: Every time you get cockblocked by something like this, you must send at least one friendly DM or message to the content creator suggesting they at least put a second copy of their content on a decentralized platform.

Although, I think the answer to the barrier to entry is to be less concerned with making federated services feel like centralized apps, more concerned with rebranding server select as the advantage that it actually is. Educate those people.

It’s not gatekeeping, none of the opinions shared here by Linus are categorically leftist. The person retweeting him is erroneously putting him into a box, or knows more about his full ideology than he’s shared in the tweet.

Asking someone if they support violence is like asking if they support the coriolis effect. It’s a fact of life, not just for humans but every living thing, that we have to deal with sometimes. It’s a nonsensical question in most contexts.

Better to ask if someone supports self-defense against violence.

In this case, if they support self-defense against institutional violence.

Sounds like a great way to get the functionality of bike lanes destroyed piecemeal as they’re adapted first and foremost to the use of oversized North American emergency vehicles. In the end you get pulled over by an asshole cop on your bike for riding in “the ambulance lane” and you’ve gotta pay the fine as you can’t miss work to dispute it.

No. Stand your ground here. Keep pushing back against the use of nonsensically oversized, outrageously expensive emergency vehicles. Cut down their argument at the ankles by bringing North American emergency response vehicles in line with the standards used by the rest of the world.

Low-weaponization nuclear reactors already exist, industrial-scale grid storage doesn’t, but yes the answer to this dispute would be much more clear if it did!

Only one type of reactor, the old uranium design, produces anything weapons grade (Which then requires an additional step to purify). Don’t use that reactor design.

Appropriate username, you’ve got a goddess bod!

My friend they just explained why you have to go so far back. The US government went absolute psycho mode on leftists in the 1930s at the end of the propaganda-of-the-deed era, deporting and executing people willy nilly often on mere suspicion. Right wing assassins get tried by the book because they aren’t an existential threat to the system, left wing assassins get their entire social milieu extra-judicially murdered.
