If you were never a "fuck cars" person, hang out near a school

  • Depends on the car. Whopping big American Trump Trucks make people into trashy human beings, sure, but I'd like to think that putting around town in a classic mini doesn't make me the devil. Certainly people don't grin and point and wave when a Trump Truck goes past.

  • The European cab-over trucks are very common in Australia in urban areas, but out in the middle of the outback the American style are far more comfortable to live with.

  • The way I see it, unless we each conform, unless we obey orders, and unless we follow our leaders blindly, there is no possible way we can remain free.

    • Nothing is requiring employees to be in the office five days a week

  • Humans are social creatures. As much as I'm a massive friggin' introvert, if I stayed at home I wouldn't get anything done. I need to go to the office and see other people, in a work environment, in order to work myself.

    And at five o'clock, I need to get in my car and come home.

  • I read that "hello" in James May's voice, so given that scenario I'd say neither.

  • Yes, but you're still just picking the lesser of two evils.

    Would it be so much to ask for to have a candidate who's only redeeming quality is not that they're less shit than the opposition? The ham sandwich is less shit than Trump, but it's still not good. I'm not convinced the democratic party will be able to find someone brilliant in their own right to run for president. They'll only be able to put in someone who isn't Trump.

  • That's funny. I remember him saying the opposite.

    Am I mistaken? Just here in response to the question of whether Kamala would make a good president, he says "Look, I wouldn't have picked vice president Trump [Kamala] to be vice president. I think she's not qualified to be president. Let's start there."

    Hillary didn't lose because of Trump. She lost because she's Hillary.

    You may have a point there, I'll grant you, but I'm still not sure Kamala can come out on top. I'd very much like to be proven wrong, but we might have to wait for the next debate to gauge what direction we're heading in.

  • As much as I don't want it to happen, I'm convinced this was the final nail in the coffin for the democrats, and the Republicans will now be guaranteed the win.

    Trump was shot and is now a martyr, and the democratic party is in shambles with no nominee. If they pick Kamala, who (after mistaking her for Trump) Biden claimed was not fit to be president, Trump will just beat her into the ground like he did with Hillary. If they pick anyone else, the American population won't know who they are. Either way, the democrats are at their most fragmented while the republicans are at their most united.

    But then what do I know? I live on the other side of the planet.

  • Oh won't you please take me localhost??

    • Can I install linux on this?

    Jump

  • Sadly no, because while Android is based on Linux, it is so far removed that the kernel is wildly different. Some teams such as mobian, SFOS, postmarketOS, etc. have got fair dinkum Linux running on android devices though.

    • Finally coming around to using Linux. How's it on a tablet?

    Jump

  • I've been daily driving a Lenovo X230 tablet for the last four years. I use Xournal++ to take notes with the pen in classes and at work. Works great!

  • That's true, but usually they get their method right (or close to it) but fail on the simple addition. If you use it to help figure out what steps you need to take, you can then run through substituting the correct numbers in and make some real progress.

    I just completed a class on hydrology and water engineering with this method. Got a HD. That either says something about the school or something about GPT. Not sure which.

    It certainly says something about my willingness to complete water engineering coursework, I'll admit that.

    • Nuclear isn't perfect, but it is the best we have right now.

  • Fuck I wish the politicians would give this to us straight like that.

    Why is Albo's party spreading memes about three eyed fish instead of saying "yeah Dutton's nuclear plan is safe, but it maximises fossil fuel use in the short term and we'd prefer to focus on renewables"

    • Why don’t you like Apple?

  • My 2011 iPad 3rd gen.

    A lightweight Linux distribution would make that thing killer for word processing and document reading. Might even allow YouTube videos to be watched again.

    Any equivalent Android tablet would have custom ROMs etc. to get a bit more functionality out of it. I know it's not a tablet, but look at the Samsung galaxy SII - the amount of community development for that is incredible to this day.
