I love those videos where people are caught trying to have a private conversation by someone who speaks an unexpected language! Also it’s shocking to me how many people loudly speak common dialects of Chinese and don’t expect anyone to follow… literally over a billion humans can understand Mandarin, someone is listening.

It looks teal and purple to me, which is probably for color blindness accessibility, but I understand what you mean.

That’s pretty common among cats and dogs. Sometimes the clever ones will hide a bite they decided against at the last second with a yawn, too.

I get the seriousness of this situation but dang that cow looks guilty!

We absolutely need a points system in this country. Dui, lose your license AND your car for a month. Hit a pedestrian, come see us in 5 years.

I know these harsh consequences can be even harder in the US than Europe, but as someone who has never been able to drive I know it’s not a life ender to lose the privilege for a short time. It’s worth the grief to get people taking it more seriously.

Not who you replied to, but I also had no interest due to excellent role models in my family for what NOT to do. I have had 1 alcoholic beverage my entire life, on my 21st birthday, and it was completely lackluster.

They’re good for a few years but not forever.

I’m not seeing them at Kbin but it could be that my account has it blocked by default over here.

They were never good. Dry, stale crackers. Tiny, slimy meat circles. Salty cheese cubes that taste more like a chemistry experiment than cured cow’s milk. As kids our palates are motivated to salty fatty food with much less regard for flavor.

Now, if you want Lunchables for grown-ups, get yourself one of those cheese and cracker platters from a nicer grocery store. Pastrami, salami, pepper jack, gouda, and sesame or butter crackers. Delicious.

I ordered mine directly from the manufacturer and it doesn’t install stuff. However, I also declined to agree to any of the Samsung ecosystem helper apps like the Store or Bixby.

Right, I can’t use my phone without it and I’m not buying into Apple. I also really like the user reviews on Maps, it’s like Yelp and TripAdvisor before they both fell to enshttification. I’ve also got a Voice number that I pay nothing for and I give it out when businesses demand a phone number. I don’t see myself switching to anything else for those.

That’s over $22000 in today’s money https://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl

They seem to sell for around $2000-5000 on eBay, so not a solid investment.

Just put Mending on it, you’ll be fine

I kinda like that system!

This valuable post here, apparently

Listen here, Kbin has been around for what, a couple weeks? Reddit is two DECADES old. We built it there and we can build it here.

I ordered some on Etsy in August, their usual harvest season. They were ok but not particularly flavorful.

I’m in a similar situation and the fallout from the pandemic has done amazing things for my family.

My spouse doesn’t have to drive two hours a day to sit in an office, we get to have lunch together, there’s time to run midday errands. And many things that I didn’t used to be able to do remotely, are suddenly accessible, like talking to my doctor or signing legal documents.

I lived in a city where they were building a residential district around light rail and built the entire area without parking spaces. I think there were a few spots for deliveries here and there, but we’re talking a dozen apartment high rises with no parking garages.

They just assumed that because there was light rail through the district, nobody would need a car there??

This is in the States, where stroads are the norm and nothing is walkable. So those people might be able to take the light rail to a small number of major employers on the other end of the light rail line… but their kids will have to be bussed to school, and their spouse will have to get a bicycle to go grocery shopping, and good luck going to the dentist across town.

What about having friends come to visit? They gotta park at the transit center and rail in?
