When I thru-hiked the Arizona Trail, there was one section that involved crossing under some high voltage transmission lines, my hair stood up and also because i wasn't anywhere near a water source there were no bird noises and the cracking the power lines was almost the only sound other than my footsteps that I heard that day.

The problem unique to car companies is that the Repubs are beholden to the car companies and the only unions big enough and worth a shit in the US is the UAW, and Democrats are beholden to anything they need.

Linux is based on unix, which was an operating system designed to run on computers like the PDP-11 of the 1970s.

The Mexica existed long before the Spanish arrived. They migrated to the Valley of Mexico from a land in the north they referred to as Aztlán when the Toltecs went into decline.
Nuevo Mexico was named by the Spanish in reference to this history, as they were following the Rio Grande north searching for the Cities of Gold referenced in these same Mexica (ie Aztec) legends.
The tankies on lemmy assure me it's a utopia. 😂
