The racism was always there. The automobile enables the racism to do more damage.

The supermarket can’t exist and ruin the small market without the automobile, no matter how racist society is.

I’d say it’s the automobile that ruined it all.

Racism comes in more with white flight and suburban sprawl. Then it all collapses.

That’s the US and supermarket dominance for ya.

Interesting! I’ve been a longtime Linux user mostly with debian-based systems (Debian, Ubuntu, Pop!) And it’s been interesting to me how one small thing or another will do that.

For me it is usually Kerberos / domain authentication things that are unnecessarily tough to set up in one distro or another.

What caused you to abandon Bazzite?

That’s already what class 2 e-bikes are.

• 1: 20 mph with assist
• 2: 20 mph with throttle
• 3: 28 mph with assist.

on average there are 2 AMPUTATIONS A WEEK IN THE US MEAT PACKAGING INDUSTRY.

That seems low, unless it’s per-state or per-company.

Edit: I don’t like to bitch about downvotes, but I’m confused as to why I’m getting downvoted. I’m not saying it should be higher, I’m just surprised that it wouldn’t be, given the horrific safety record of that industry. Possibly it is under-reported?

For 20 brave men all fishermen who…

I’ll keep that in mind in case I ever shower inside a boiler.

It’s actually because that’s the original pronunciation. It was SEQUEL, the sort-of successor to the QUEL QUEry Language. The shortening to SQL came later.

Username checks out

That’s not a very good poem.

Doin the work of the FSM.

Not one of those but XMPP (once upon a time called Jabber) is available worldwide.

So is Matrix.

Colby cheese, aka Colby Jack cheese

Colby is not the same thing as Colby Jack. Colby Jack is Colby cheese mixed with Monterey Jack cheese.

Colby is traditionally dyed yellow while Monterey Jack is not; hence the marbling when they’re mixed.

I was there, I bought it too. At release it was already dumbed down so much that it did not live up to the expectations from the tech demos.

Thrive is very much a spiritual successor to those tech demos.

It was supposed to be an evolution engine. That’s how they developed it and how the tech demos and marketing pushed it.

But then it ended up being simplified and gamified so much that it basically didn’t matter what you did, so the only fun part was making your creatures look like penises.

8 seconds to hit shift+delete? That’s pretty slow.
