Good point; I already live here. Some places are more expensive than others, but you can expect San Fransisco-style prices for things, not Cleveland-style prices.

Funny thing is, I often find it’s people born after 1990 who are desperate for small talk, but just often don’t know how to do it.

It’s like talking to them lifts this huge weight off their shoulders, and yet at the same time leaves them feeling weird and confused.

Just a reminder that Canada just expanded citizenship; many Americans may already be dual citizens and not even realize it.

Lead poisoning.

I’m imagining an Obama-style poster now.

A lot of personal indie web uses CF because it’s free and manages usage spikes and your home server going offline for whatever reason.

Of course they are… that’s what CVEs are all about!

It took me the longest time to figure out whether they wanted strawberries or shrubberies.

I intentionally always use zed. Sure it doesn’t rhyme in American-created sayings and acronyms, but I’ll continue to say z instead.

QEMU 11.0’s VirtIO-GPU support now has the ability to handle native context drivers.

Many of the new features are very niche, but this one definitely isn’t.

. . . while also fighting the colonials on the other side of the war to control regional resource extraction.

My experience is that you have to do both. They reinforce each other.

Does it say why the bull came out of retirement?

I never understood with that one why they didn’t just put it up on blocks; it was reading the speedometer, not even GPS.

Guess it wouldn’t have made for as good a movie.

Reminder that this requires all vehicles be SOLD with the tech. It says nothing about what happens to it after purchase.

Or… leave the tech sitting at home reporting a pre-recorded route over and over.

I highly recommend reading Connie Willis’ The Domesday Book

There’s the sticking point (well, one of them): sometimes, servers are shut down because the developer wants players to buy a NEW game that they’ll make more money on. If gamers can just play the old game forever, they’re less likely to buy and play the new game whose servers have improved the rent seeking algorithms.

Half the size of a pickup truck… a Mazda compact, or a jacked up GMC Hemi half ton?

Even just saying Ford F150 gives a lot of leeway.

It’s a regional issue that’s been going on for thousands of years, with many sub-events.

Essentially, Israel has been stealing land from Palestine since it was first created as a nation. Separate from that, relations between Israel and Gaza, which is a Palestinian territory inside Israel, have been tense, and blew up when Hamas, which effectively governed Gaza, broke through the barricade keeping them hemmed in and killed/kidnapped a bunch of people in Israel proper.

Israel responded by flattening most of Gaza, and attacking people in many other parts of Palestine and taking more land.

Hamas is mostly backed/funded by the Iranian government.

Israel also attacked Syria and sent some settlers over the Syrian border, and attacked Lebanon, targeting Hezbolah-controlled border states; Hezbolah is also Iranian government-backed.

Israel then attacked Iran, and convinced the US to join them.

It’s worth noting that the current Israeli government is hard-right expansionist nationalist, and has been waiting for an excuse to do these things for a while now.
