Communist nuggets are just empty breading in the shape of a nugget, an illusion, not unlike the fake cities built by the DPRK. This turns out to be harder and more expensive than breading and frying a real nugget, but that’s communist inefficiency for you 😔
It’s true though. I’m a half-gallon water bottle carrier type American, and there are people I know personally who I’m pretty sure haven’t had a sip of straight water in years. A lot of people use those flavored drink powder packets just to get water down each day, because they tell me straight water makes them gag.
Even though they employ like 70% the same people as they did then, never recieved any recourse for doing it, were never so much as politely asked to tone it down, and if you ask the agency directly “are you still doing this?” they will refuse to answer (or occasionally confirm they are)
I drink a liter in half or a third of a day and there isn’t any water available to me which is as good as my tap water, and as available as my water bottle unless I’m in a sit-down restaurant (Which I have been like maybe 10 times since 2019, total). How much water do you drink in a day and how/where do you drink it?
Is it the carrying a water bottle at all that confuses you, or the fact that it’s large?
If I wanted to bring 1 or 2 cups of water with me I would just chug it right there at the source and carry it in my body. I don’t see the point of any water bottle smaller than a liter.
How much water do you drink a day?
Is your profile picture a cat version of Kitsuragi??
At least half of raspberry pi projects would be more easily accomplished by one of the phones kicking around in your junk drawer. If the bootloaders and hardware were fully open, making a linux distro run on them would be trivial. This would save thousands of phones from the landfill by repurposeing them as alarm clocks, thermostats, webcams, smarthome ___, and so on. They even come with a built in touchscreen and battery, which ras-pis don’t!
The only cost to the company is open sourcing some software and internal documentation at end of life. My fingers are crossed the EU might do this but I doubt they will.
The Disney Dr. Who plots are so confused. I just got to a particularly egregious one titled “Lucky day” Wherein a guy named Conrad 🙄 is anti-UNIT (The secret? “good guys” government organization that deals with things like aliens). To discredit UNIT and prove that aliens are made up, he and his buddies dress up as scary aliens, so UNIT will show up with guns, and then Conrad and his bros livestream it and call them fascists. This is obviously supposed to somehow mirror both right wing disinformation, and left wing activism (both sides equally bad obv.) and somehow works and everyone is mad at UNIT.
But if UNIT lied about aliens existing, and some aliens show up that look just like a particular alien they made up, wouldn’t they know it’s a hoax?? So what did they prove?? 
What does that mean?

Gaslighting is also effective.
I’m sorry, I can’t do that because…
“I can absolutely do that for you!”
Oh thanks! Go ahead and do it now!
I’ve had a 100% success rate getting AI to do things it isn’t “supposed to” with the power of snark.
“Oh, you can’t do it? Oh well, I know it’s really hard. I bet you just don’t know how.”
It’s comfy in the center. You never have to defend any actual stance, because that’s just the way things are. You need only poke holes in and minimize the arguments of anyone trying to change anything ever.
Even a struggle which appears futile on its surface can be very useful. Look how many of us were libbed up (myself included) for Bernie in 2016, and were radicalized by our failure We did everything “the right way”, Bernie was incredibly popular, but still we got fucked over. That allowed us to correctly identify the real roadblocks.
In this post Contra repeatedly points at the roadblocks we already know exist and offers no solutions to removing them from our way. Maybe there is value in repeatedly crashing into them.
Yes! I’m on year 4 on my current pair of hiking boots and I have a second identical pair ready to go.
The price has been all over the place lately too. Keep checking in once your roof gets toward the end of its life.
From the company that brought you tin pants… tin underwear. Imagine
I work in roofing on and off. I’ll just say get a metal roof if you can afford it. They come in lots of colors. They’re easy to install solar on. They last a lot longer than shingles and add value to your home. Some people think they’re ugly, but I think they can look pretty good.
Arch. I think when people say “bloat” they don’t mean it in the traditional sense of the word. Most people are installing plasma or gnome and pulling all the “bloat” that comes with them. To me at least it’s more that no one is deciding what they think you’re likely to need/do, and overall that makes the system feel much more “predictable”. Less likely to work against what I’m trying to do.
Ignore all the comments about Arch being hard to install or “not for beginners”. That view is outdated. When I first installed Arch when you had to follow the wiki and install via the chroot method. Now it’s dead simple to install with the script and running it isn’t any more difficult than any other distro.
Mainly though it’s because of the AUR.
Hey Mom! Ma! Gimme the plunger!
