That’s crazy. We couldn’t even wear polo shirts then and before 9/11 we had to wear ties.

It’s common at the high school level. It’s a byproduct of pandemic lockdowns.

To me this falls more under the category of non profit independent news, primarily local news where all the corruption happens. Report for America, reportforamerica.org, assists these local newsrooms and has a spot on their site that you can search for sites local to you. These local papers are interesting because their individual sponsors are often influential people in your community who believe in democracy and are concerned about the power of corporate media. I just checked out our local online paper like this and see the same names that I recognize for people I know who support the arts.

Did your lecture get you laid?

A friend of mine moved to LA from Germany to work for his German company. German was an option for the test at the DMV. He said the test was gibberish so he turned it in for an English test.

George Lucas shouldn’t get so much shit for this. Disney should. John Boyega’s character Finn got sidelined in the sequel sequels partly because of the concern that the movie wouldn’t do well overseas. He was removed entirely from the movie posters for Force Awakens in China.

Well he certainly wouldn’t cheer anybody up at the party in either case. I’d put money on this case getting bounced as soon as a judge has anything to do with it.

ETA: I hope he’s okay.

I scrolled his IG and he hasn’t posted anything new in a while but he certainly doesn’t look like he was 360 in any of his photos. One could speculate it was a recent weight gain. He also hasn’t posted any new videos of his singing on YouTube in a couple years. I can personally empathize with how he might have felt being excluded but don’t have a lot of sympathy for his lawsuit. Servers at a party are expected to blend into the background but being both big and tall probably attracts too much attention.

I honestly think their version is not as good as Toto’s. Their cover closely matches the style of the original and they aren’t as good musicians. I was hoping they would make it a Weezer style cover. Toto’s version of Hash Pipe is better than Weezer’s too.

He thought Mike Patton was biting his style! I recently watched the video for Epic and I can kind of see what Kiedis is saying but honestly RHCP never had a hit like Epic before it was released. Mother’s Milk was released a few months later.

USA Light Truck definition: Firstly, the vehicle must have a gross vehicle weight–that’s the curb weight plus payload–of no more than 8,500 lbs. Secondly, it has to be designed to transport persons, property, or be fitted with special features allowing its  “off-street or off-highway operation and use”.

Then why are people tripping about saying “you’re welcome”?

I go to DMV. “You need a number to be in this line”. “My mistake. Where do I get this number?” “Over there.” “Oh, I see, thank you.” “You’re welcome.”

Earthquakes are mostly nonevents but tornados are devastating to whatever they hit.

I’ve noticed that people from tornado states are most afraid of earthquakes. Makes me think they believe that an earthquake is scarier than a tornado. The amount of fear I see suggests that tornado’s must be terrifying to live through.

It’s a nice reimagination of Albert Hammond’s ‘The Air That I Breathe’.

MacOS XNU Kernel is based upon Carnegie Mellon’s Mach Kernel which incorporated large portions of the 4.3BSD Kernel.

They say pioneers take the arrows and the settlers take the land, but in your case sounds like the pioneers get speaker support! Thanks for the update.

Are you running that natively? I didn’t know it was ready for daily driver use.

I am like you. I have a MacBook and when I needed more power I bought a Threadripper Pro running Linux. I recently bought a MacBook Pro with lots of RAM and disk space that is somewhat redundant to the workstation but mostly just wanted more power for when I happen to need it. I’ve had really good luck with AppleCare. I even got a free iMac to replace a very old iMac that a coworker gave me that had a hardware defect.
