Just an old retired guy who's still a leftist.

  • Low engagement and tends towards geeky grumpy right wing old men. Or Germans.

  • I see. So you can’t tell the difference between a shark and a boat.

  • This attitude mystifies me. When you’re swimming in shark infested waters, do you worry that the only viable boat around isn’t aimed exactly at the vacation destination you dream of?

    Or are you unable to tell a rowboat from a man-eating shark?

  • Shows how much I hate Google that it being unremovable on this car removes it from my consideration.

  • They’re ripe when they turn yellow.

    Got my first one this summer from a top I cut off a store bought pineapple maybe years ago. Home grown, from my single example, has a more subtle flavor with hints of vanilla and much less acid.

  • That’s not bright of you. You going to clutch your pearls as Trump is inaugurated?

    How about when he carries you off to a camp?

  • Bet she also “urges” withdrawing support from Ukraine.

  • I’m not talking about a long-ago problem. I’m talking about a current install of Ubuntu.

  • I’m a very casual Linux user and in my experience, I’ve NEVER had a problem with a documented solution that didn’t require going down a rabbit hole of other references.

    Something like this: “To get the trackpad to work with Ubuntu, make sure you’ve installed the hergelbergelXX package.” (No link, find it on your own!)

    Visit the HergelBergelXX page. To install Hergelbergel on Ubuntu, you must install the framisPortistan Package Manager. (No link!)

    On the FramisPortistan GitHub readme, we discover it requires the JUJU3 database system to be installed. “JUJU3 may cause conflicts with installed USB devices under Ubuntu” JUJU2, which shipped with Ubuntu, is no longer supported. Also we recommend Archie&Jughead Linux over other distributions.

    And this essentially never stops.

    All of this is comparatively a happy result—I actually DID post a question on linuxnoobs about getting my trackpad to work with Ubuntu… and have not had a single reply. I have no idea how to find out how to make it work.

  • I wish I could say this is great, but it’s an unreadable mess. Looks like EEDT.

  • That car is so ugly I thought this was some sort of old April Fool’s pic.

    Did they really make an “updated” car that looks 40 years old?

  • I wish the article mentioned any (or the lack of)V2H/G/L on the Buzz.

    Which goes to price as well--if the Buzz could take the place of home battery backup, that would be a big nod to some economy.

  • Also it’s spelled “D E M O C R A C Y”.

    Idiot.

  • You’re ridiculously naive. We go to war, or the polls, with what we have. And if you don’t make the best use of the best candidate to get closer to what you’re actually in favor of, you’re a fool.

  • But any actual result of you voting 3rd party is to end up with a fascist president who has plainly stated his intent is to make sure you will never vote again.

  • You have to vote strategically. That is: with an eye to what your vote will actually DO.

    Not voting, or voting third party in this election will directly contribute to the installation of a fascist dictator and the destruction of democracy.

    Voting is not dating. You're not trying to hook up with The ONE who is "perfect" for you.

    Voting is public transport. You grab the one that's going to get you closer to where you want to go.

  • She forgot to mention how it was all brought together in the first place by a white male dictator in Russia.

  • I could have gone and made it fit

    That woulda been ever so lit.

    But the effort was much

    And the payoff was such,

    I just didn't bother to try it.

  • You want to be a poet,

    And sought a place to show it.

    You picked a strange host

    And thread for your post,

    This URL would be more fit!
