I rented an electric car recently (Mach-E) and almost exclusively drove in single-pedal mode.

Thought a lot about this video as I was driving.

5/7 with rice. Thank you for the suggestion.

“Roe was legislating from the bench!”

…goes on to carve unlimited executive power out of thin air…

Dude have you seen an American public education?

America is the hero throughout all of history class.

There will no doubt be a line of the wealthiest people selling their sole for a profit.

I don’t think this is what was implied when we said to “eat the rich”, though. Or “bootlicker” and “ass kisser”.

Because we know he won’t. He knows he’s unwelcome by the majority of the people. That just makes his worshippers praise him even more.

What do you expect…Democrats ask him to step down because he’s a convicted felon? He’s gonna listen?

Republicans to have him step down…why? Because he said lies(that they believe) and sounded good saying them?

Biden we at least know is receptive. And he’s got an amazing career behind him. Losing the presidency, as an incumbent, to Trump (the incumbent he just barely defeated four years ago when he exuded much more confidence when he spoke against him) would be a terrible way to end it.

There’s nothing in the world more powerful than a good story.

I prefer “tit for tat”.

We’ve been getting tons of rain here, but we are still in an outdoor water ban.

Between 8-5, no lawn watering (except golf courses and businesses), no washing your car (except at a car wash), no watering your ornamental plants (except for farms and garden stores). No filling your pool (even a kiddie pool) or running through the sprinkler (except at the water park).

It’s not because of drought, but because one of our water sources is offline due to elevated PFAS, so they are blending water from other reservoirs, and those sources combined can’t make up the extra demand.

And also protecting businesses by making sure we can’t wash our own cars or lollygag through our own sprinklers. Gotta pay for that privilege.

We have to pay…for the privilege…of lollygagging through our sprinklers.

I get the lawn part. I hate lawns. But my yard is also a barren mud pit. I gotta put something down. Trying for mostly clover and other plants that don’t need a ton of water, but they still need to stay moist to germinate and start off, and that’s real tough to do if you can’t water it during the hottest parts of the day. I don’t really care what grows as long as it holds the dirt together and it’s comfortable to walk on barefoot.

They aren’t getting beaten up for their money. They are gleefully handing it over to the bully for protection from the real bullies…trans women playing highschool basketball.

NGL I kinda want to look into OG Xbox emulation, been waxing nostalgia for Fable.

Consider the difference between “would do” and “could do” to be the same as “will do” and “can do”, respectively.

One implies action, the other implies capability.

There’s also “should”, which implies permission.

Consider, also, the progress of learning Python (programming language):

1. Could I do this in Python?
2. I would do this in Python.
3. I shouldn’t do this in Python.

Edit to add: Would, could, and should are usually considered future-tense. But add “have” and it’s past-tense…“I would have done that”

Considering how “fuck you in particular” lightning can be…maybe.

I’m waiting for the day that Gemini shittymorphs me.

Ceci n’est pas une tonalité

Windows having tar.gz support is great.

I have scripts for generating log bundles on user computers and sending to a share. tar.gz is great for compressing ~2.5GB text to send over VPN, and then I can open the .tar.gz direct from the network drive with minimal additional delay opening a 500MB text file inside.

ONCE AND FOR ALL.

DDR. Would see scrolling arrows when I’d shut my eyes b

Back up…dude with a 10th grade level understanding of biology and chemistry coming through with a question…

So carbon-based life forms can, under the right circumstances, decompose into long chains of hydrocarbons like Petroleum.

Does that mean silicon-based life forms under the right circumstances would break down into hydrosilicates like caulk?

You wouldn’t download a serial killer.

But you could download countless murder-mystery audiobooks and ebooks from Libby, so that’s a close second.

My kids baseball (littlest league) got cancelled yesterday for rain.
