Absolutely. The short version: Chest freerzers are way more efficient because the cold air doesn't "fall out" as soon as you open them.

Going for the whole thing, eh?
Not even just the "symbol version". I don't like long nails but one has to appreciate the artistry here.

"The most sustainable phone is the one you already have". But if you need a new one anyway, go for it. I'm really happy with my FP4.

As we learned from trump during covid: If you don't look into a problem it does not exist.
It's a fact!

I agree with so much that has been said here. VLC, Linux as a whole (or GNU/Linux, of course) and many more. Obsidian is sadly not open source but its free and it's absolutely amazing!

What I haven't found yet is a FOSS (or even just "free as in beer") replacement for MS Project. I want to plan out a top level view of what we have to do as a team to reach some goal, assign multiple team members to one "task", allocate a set amount of their time and see at what times we might be over or under capacity. The FOSS planing tools I've seen mostly work in "shifts" or let you assign one task to one person. But we're in R&D and if I plan for 40 hours of "conceptual work" over the span of a month and assign Sarah and Steve to this with 20 hours each I don't want to babysit their shifts. They will do the work when it suits them.

The only one I've seen that could do what I need is ProjectLibre but the FOSS desktop version has been abandoned a while ago and is still very buggy.

Sorry for placing this here but maybe someone knows something...

Just shooting rich people into space (and letting them return) for no particular reason is dumb enough. We really don't need you to make it even dumber.

Was looking for this comment. Was not disappointed.

"Ceparoo" is indeed a great state!
Also I like that it settled the dumb "Gulf of Mexico" thing. I think we can all be happy with "Martnla".

Absolutely!

I love that he didn't even give a hint. The other person might have gone about teir day being happy to have helped.

And he wouldn't even fit into that dumpster to help the poor animal. =(

It's an old copy pasta but it holds up better than ever.

Wow that was quite an encyclopedic post. Thank you for the good read!

DEI is diversity, equity and inclusion. They are basically saying that the fires are so bad because they hired a bunch of women, black and gay people. If they had only hired MEN (TM) to the fire departements, they would have it under control by now!

This sounds like something the Bojack Horseman writers would come up with.

Oh wait, you're even the same person who made the mistake? That's even better then! And good on you for taking it with such humor. =)

Is this inspired by the "my son cooked me food" post from today? If so, well done crafting it into a joke!

It did in fact make me think and I thank you for that. You won't like the outcome of that thinking, though.

First of all, I'm far far away from being "mobilized". I do agree that you could call what the killer did "terrorism" though, as he seeks to influence behavior by mortal fear (terror). Wheter the end justifies the means (as some would argue for example for "eco-terrorism) I don't know. But I see how some people may feel like all other, more civil, avenues to change their life and the system for the better have been blocked off. But again, I'm far from being "mobilized" as in encouraging such behavior or even picking up a gun myself.

Now why did I laugh at the response? Simple: It's morbid and unexpected, which are two aspects that I often find humorous.

Do I feel bad about laughing? No. The reason and the main difference to the "hate speech" you refer to are twofold: First, this joke is punching up, not punching down, as hate speech usually is. Second, hate speech is usually about what people are (black, asian, transgender, gay). This guy in contrast was loathed for what he did. That's a major difference, since you can't change what you are but what you do is in your hands.

I would love to hear a response from you but the condescension and smugness in your tone of writing makes me think that this won't make you think.

Holy fuck. Not saying I agree (also not saying I don't) but I laught at that answer.

Never ever believe companies when they make promises like "we will have x by date y". Especially if date y is further away than maybe the end of the year. Shell also made big promises and then quietly dropped them. Of course the making of the promise came with a big PR budget. The dropping of the plans was silent. Weird how that works...
