Take a load for free 😎

I know someone with a decade old Leaf and that thing is still going strong with more than 300k on it.

Been so long since I've seen this meme format

This is a bit tangential, but a part of me is pleased that leftists and Marxists are adopting some of these basic chartalist monetary principles. When I dove into the MMT world for a brief period a few years ago, my basic takeaway was that their analysis of the state and money isn't far off the mark, but they have a severely underdeveloped class consciousness. The end call to action - at least from the liberal voices within that ideological space - was always "well if we educate people about all this, then they can go

Only because they sell bonds to make up the deficit. They don't have to do that.

Hmmm, I'd like to see Craig's list.

KDE Plasma on Arch on integrated Intel graphics here. I've been on it for a few years and I love it.

Ads in my notifications and my lock screen.

It also breaks down to CO2 after, right? A small amount but still.

I find I have that issue in Windows 10. There's not much consistency between applications in terms of which monitor or even desktop they'll launch in when I open them.

Not really a hilarious assumption, but it was only this year that I actually learned anything more than the names of a few STIs. It's good to familiarize yourself with the risk profiles and treatment options of the common ones, and get tested regularly if you're sexually active.

My responses to that are:

1. What counts as arable? Can you grow literally nothing on it, or is it just unusable for mass industrial mono-cropping at a scale that competes?
2. IIRC even if ruminant grazing is the most efficient way to produce food on this land, it's still be a severe environmental net negative as opposed to other non-food uses, namely rewilding. Of course this is true for cash crops as well, and I don't know how the payoff compares, but a lot of animal agriculture defenders like to use this argument to imply that grazers can just be slotted in on the margins with no downside.
3. Based on the map in the article, a substantial portion of land still goes to farmed livestock feed. Eliminate all of that first and then we can actually see how much of this beef is purely ranched.

Meat eaters do love to champion the most ethical and environmental corners of their supply chain, and I appreciate that, but everyone I know that buys a half cow for their deep freezer from a sustainable local farmer refuses to draw the hard line in the fast food drive-thru. "Conscious" meat exists to justify all meat consumption rather than replace it in the supply chain, from my experience growing up on a small hobby farm trying to produce it.

You know exactly what that picture is, and it's how I prefer to hang my toilet paper rolls because I'm in the small minority that finds it more aesthetically pleasing.

The only positive thing I got out of that place was some great albums from /mu/, but even there the toxicity was so incredibly rampant. I wouldn't shed a tear to see the whole site nuked.

I don't tell people. They infer both almost immediately from my physical stature and vocabulary.

I sometimes feel like the last person that managed to land a decent tech job without an undergraduate degree, but a good part of that was being able to play a normal, likeable person in the interview.

I think what you say might be true for any field that's new enough. There's high demand for labourers, very little skill around, and a low barrier for an autodidact to pick up the basics and outshine the competition.

Still a hot take probably but everyone I know hates JS.

I think this is accurate on a larger scale, but I'll often do things like breaking up a large chain of methods with an interim variable just for readability. A few lines of simple math is better than one line of bit shifting wizardry that does the same thing but doesn't show the semantic meaning of the operation.
