I’ve always like this metaphor. Alexander Woolcott called striking coincidences “the universe caught in the veriest act of rhyming.”

Well she’s not a competent con artist, but that’s not what it’s supposed to be about.

Chalk it up to Citizens United and corporate media - the partnership to end democracy.

You can also just talk normally to your kids without being a snob about anything.

Actually I printed a few decent ones with my Ender 3. A couple tests on my new A1 came out really nice.

Proctologists need not reply.

If Bonespurs calls them rapists, drug dealers and murderers I hope they all class-action sue his ass.

Followed the link, the page I see does not have Personalized Shopping.

Not showing on my page either. I wonder if this is only happening in the app and not the website.

One of them is even running for President! It’s not dementia it’s The Weave.

Dunno how that’s relevant but thanks - LOLOL worth the watch.

FoxOS - coming soon?

Speaking of a chromebook experience, installing ChromeOS Flex on my wife’s slow, outdated Surface Pro made it sleek and fast again. Can you suggest a Linux distro that would be similar on old laptops?

As a retired software dev, for me Windows is simply a longtime habit enforced by past work environments. I did use Linux for over a year on my main PC but went back to Windows so I could keep using my old copy of Visual Studio. My deeply conditioned shortcut keystrokes didn’t work in VSCode - in fact, why did they change so much of the UI? But now that I’m used to VSCode, which I only use for hobby coding anyway, there’s no excuse and I intend to go back to Linux by year end.

Damn right-wing boomers. Oh wait.

Does it have to be a giant tree tho? There are floating machines cleaning plastics out of the ocean right now. One of them I’m pretty sure was conceived by a high school student for a science project, and it worked so well somebody built it. Good shower thought tho.

But petroleum isn’t just plants, it also includes organic matter from animal corpses. Think before you say these things, Mitch.

I always wonder how many people who think eating meat is murder, evil, etc. have actually watched animals die in the wild. If I had to choose between getting knocked out with a stunner or being chased down by a predator, struggling and screaming while being torn apart by teeth and claws until finally losing consciousness from blood loss and pain - which is how wild animals tend to die - I would absolutely pick the slaughterhouse any time. From that standpoint alone I would absolutely call eating meat the lesser evil.

Of course death is only one dimension - many domestic animals live in terrible conditions - but mistreatment isn’t necessary for vegans to condemn using animal products. Even eating honey is frowned on, simply because bees are animals. I don’t think that simple flat rule takes enough information into account.

LOL yes, even from here you can still smell the reddit. Say the sky is blue and somebody will object because it’s not always, and maybe even go down a rabbit hole because the sky includes outer space, which is black, and also glowing stars of many colors. And ur mom!

Since fossil fuel contains animal remains, wouldn’t veganism be inherently against all petro products, including plastics?
