Flatpak "containerizes" the program, which makes it more secure and less able to accidentally mess up other programs. Fuck if I know how it works.

Also you don't have to type in your password every time you want to update the program, so that's nice.

Open Roller Coaster Tycoon 2! You need to own an official version of the game in order to get the models and textures and whatnot, which are still under copyright. After that, you can play with ORCT2 and enjoy the expanded capabilities,

I'm pretty sure female bedbugs do have vaginas and it's just that the males don't care. Also it's somehow better if they stab them.

Maybe not to the same degree of specificity, but "do you want to have sex with me" is one of those things that's really high on the informed consent priority list.

Ugh I HATE it when my glass gets souped.

When you've inevitably barricaded yourself in city hall, just remember: we never met, this conversation didn't happen. Revan? Never heard of 'em.

For sure, I used to drive stick when I drove, but I also argued for town planning that would make driving optional. Personal choices to deal with the reality you're given, public policy activism for the reality you want.

I dunno, maybe take their conservative advice and violently overthrow your government?

Real talk, you'll have a hell of a time arguing for the upgrades, but even so, I only suggest switching to bricks when the road needs to be resurfaced anyway. The road works well enough as-is, this is just an improvement.

Life is too short to have to fucking drive everywhere.

If you're in an area where pedestrians may be crossing the road, traffic should be slow enough to use permeable brick pavers, which increase road noise, help with rainwater drainage, and add a little green to the road if find right.

The issue is that meteorites don't have hardly any aluminum, which is the metal of concern here. We're already seeing significant increases in the upper atmospheric concentration, and it's projected to get a lot worse.

Ignoring the confusion between caliber and platform, .556 out of an AR-15 is still a great choice for anything roughly cat-to-human sized. Prairie Dogs, antelope, goats, sheep, foxes, coyotes, that sort of thing.
