You know they aren’t forcing you to use the bundled stuff, right?

AP still hasn’t called her. And they have 212 RNC and 200 DNC. So if it’s 201, then republican need 6 to claim majority now.

I paid $830/month for a moderately priced car at only 2.9% for a few years. 1/3 my current yearly salary in full. It wasn’t smart, but I beat inflation at that rate. That car let me and my wife travel so much in our early marriage and it was so worth it. The car is more expensive now then when I bought it.

I love that car and it brought me joy. It’s paid off now.

Tomorrow is not promised. Save for the future but don’t neglect being happy today. Go live a little.

It is perfectly fine being anti-abortion for personal beliefs, but to be anti-choice for others is shocking.

Yep! I did it for a final project, called DANK WEB. We implemented an airhorn counter. We found out the day before that it just stored the value it saw +1 to the DB so a bad actor could reset the count. Then we easily figured out that we could just reference the DB so we fixed the bad actor part.

We got a 98 on the final. It was the most fun I had on a project in all of college.

Lunar eclipses are visible everywhere you can see the moon (roughly half of the earth)

Solar eclipses are only visible in the shadow of the moon, which is very tiny comparatively.

The cars used to have RADAR. But they got rid of that and even disabled it on older models when updating because they “only need cameras.”

Cameras and RADAR would have been good enough for most all conditions…

RCV is just slightly better than FTP. Let’s go with the bests and support STAR now. If we do all RCV now, we can rage the system in the next 40 years due to people saying “but we just changed it!”

I’m curious so let’s explore this. Say someone in a rural area needs to drive 10 mins down the road a day and 10 mins back. Let’s say you employ one person for just 12 hours at federal minimum wage. That’s $609/week PLUS maintenance and gas on the bus. If someone owned their car/truck and paid maybe $2.50/gal with a 15mpg car, that would only be like $1.70 a day for them. (30mph20min/15mpg$2.5/gal*7(days)=$11.67). That community would only need 60 people taking the exact same path as the bus to make it worth it for them.

I’m all for public transit. I take it to work a few times a week and even when doing leisure, but it’s not a replacement for extra-suburb transit.

I used to have my car commands (AC, location, seat heaters, etc) on a shortcut. It was stacked shortcuts calling APIs and passing tokens and storing these for later use to reuse the same token.

That’s why MMOs are fun because we don’t use voice comms for random people, just text.

Last time I went I wasn’t even asked my insurance. Safeway just covered it.
