If you only drive on weekends and holidays, level 1 charging is actually good enough. The cost of a level 2 charger is pretty insignificant to the price of a car, but every bit helps.

Even corporations that are cooperatives? Municipalities are corporations (in my country). Are they bastards? How about corporations that are wholly government owned? The USSR was full of those.

Altruistically? Rosneft, the largest oil company in Russia. Help climate change and cripple Putin’s war machine in one go.

For me? Central Square, purveyors of shitty enterprise software.

Mklinux. It was the only thing you could run on one of those jank-ass PowerPC/nubus Macs.

Not at all. The Conservative Party (like all parties) have regular party conventions. They can conduct a leadership review at the convention and start the process to replace the leader at that time.

A1 has a direct drive extruder. It does function as kind of a hybrid thing with the AMS though. Use of the AMS with TPU isn’t recommended, but there are a couple of harder TPU filaments that supposedly work.

If you remember navigating with a compass and map, GPS is goddamned magical.

I haven’t finished listening, but I assume everything went well for the privateers.

It’s not because people kept printing their emails 40" wide on the plotter? TIL.

Well first off, through God Linux, all things are possible. You can have multiple hard links to a file, where a given hard link is deleted, but you can still manipulate the file through any other other links. Alternately, you can open a file, and while you have a valid open file descriptor, delete the file. The file descriptor is still valid until you close the file though, so you can still save (thus move) it to a new location.

Windows locks files when you open them, preventing these kinds of shenanigans.

Was that voat? That one was initially promising, then almost immediately went to shit as all the worst people from reddit went there.

In addition, good elections have a couple more properties. They should be understandable by the average voter. Paper ballots work well for this (esp. in FFTP jurisdictions). Online voting makes it really hard for even experts to completely understand the system, and impossible outside of a tiny number of experts to verify.

Second, elections are a social activity, and should feel like it. Anything that make an election feel like we’re all getting together to select our leadership, rather than an adversarial process should be encouraged. Online anything these days seems to be optimizing for max animosity. A counterexample might be the Australian democracy sausages.

But then you get to mansplain mansplaining! That’s my hobby. My daughter loves it.

Anyone with less capabilities of a medium sized nation-state will not be able to “just smash” an AWS datacenter.

It’s a very traditional Japanese measurement. They use a 1982 Honda Trail 110.

Everything everywhere was surveyed in imperial measurements. As a surveyor in a previous career, metric was the best thing that could have happened. Maps in imperial scales are miserable.

Scribus has really good PDF support. It’s a full desktop publishing program (like InDesign), so it might not be the best for quick conversions. It does a really good job of PDF forms though.

And future me? What has that guy ever done for me? Fuck that guy too.

What about the unlabelled grey “dread zone” between the pacific and midwest areas? That’s accurate, right?

Postal banking is a thing in many countries. Canada Post did banking from its inception until 1968. The major benefits are that there is a post office in every community, even really tiny ones, and that a Canada Post bank system can offer basic banking services to people who otherwise wouldn’t be able to.

This is an advocacy piece, but it includes the history of postal banking in Canada: https://lindsayadvocate.ca/corporate-pressure-ended-postal-banking-in-1968-its-time-to-bring-it-back/
