  • If you're out bike touring, KOAs almost always have spots set aside for cyclists to camp. Both KOAs and state parks are really useful for showers and clothes washing. Was genuinely surprised how many state parks had both when I toured across the U.S.

    If you're in Washington state, the state parks are legally required to find room for you to camp if you rolll up on a bike and they're otherwise full.

  • A clean poop? That runny mess looks more like she was marking her territory.

  • "…some of which they argue are undermining democratic norms."

    That there is known as a "load-bearing clause," and Newsweek should know better than to put it under such heavy strain. The entire article is likely to collapse—much like the media's collective spine—if it gives way.

  • The first time I played Super Mario on the N64 I can still recall how it made me slightly dizzy, which delighted me. That effect only lasted a short while, but it was a lot of fun to feel that disoriented by a video game, if but briefly.

  • This not-stop drama and incompetence bullshit is just so damn tiring. It really makes you appreciate even more how Democratic administrations just Get Shit Done™ compared to their fumbling Republican counterparts.

    Holy hell but do I miss government just working.

  • Good for them. It's clear that we (the U.S.) can no longer be trusted to act in good faith.

  • Looks like we're in for a science fiction double feature!

  • They did! And I weirdly kind of miss them for the entirely non-logical reason that they looked elegant.

    Don't get me wrong, I adapted in about 3 seconds when I made the switch to Mac OS X 25 years ago, but I irrationally kinda miss them just a tiny bit.

  • I don't get it. I mean, their free tier is a bit chintzy, but I give 'em a dollar a month and get 50GB. You can get 2TB for 3 bucks. This hardly seems a ripoff.

  • JFC NY Times, you're just noticing his decline now?. It's been self-evident for years.

  • Stuff like this has a real 'whistling past the graveyard' quality to it.

    I'm sure it's catnip to his base, but man, does it ever have the possibility of coming back to haunt him if she keeps building momentum at this rate.

  • News like this makes me wonder if David Bowie finally reincarnated somewhere on Earth. Everything went to shit in 2016 after he left for his home planet.

  • While I wouldn't say that's right, I also wouldn't come right out and call it wrong either. This very much engages with the "Selfish Gene", an heuristic model of thinking about evolution from the perspective of the gene itself instead of populations.

    As an added amusement, the book "The Selfish Gene" came out in 1976, and is the source of the word "meme," used somewhat differently than it is now, naturally.

  • Haha, I've been using old.lemmy.world for so long I'd forgotten I even had the Space Needle profile on my account. Was truly puzzled for a minute.

    "How do they know I'm in Seattle? Oh, yeah."

  • Generation X here.

  • You can predict the outcome of this court's decisions with two questions:
    A: Will it cause chaos?

    B: Is it cruel?

    They seem to feel it's bonus points if the answer to both is yes.

  • This really rises to one of 2023's oddest stories. I mean, I don't even have a square for "Indian-Canadian Cold War" on my 2023 bingo card.
