A typical bike-riding leftist urbanite who also happens to be a hockey-crazy Western Canadian.

  • I don't know, but aiming for a short runway with a wall at the end doesn't seem to work.

  • The more it hurts the more it shows you really care, right?

  • Making the best bed of what you have.

  • Either way, the policy is working as intended; there are fewer superfluous car trips being made to lower manhattan. If people are deciding not to go over a $9 fee, I don't think they really needed to go that badly.

  • Remember when everyone thought putin was bluffing about Ukraine? Now would be an appropriate time to learn our lesson from that.

    Next thing we know, trump will be launching a special operation to 'defend' the culturally american regions of alberta. Although he won't have to do much, considering who's currently in charge of the province.

  • I do not understand where they are making a profit

    I think you're overestimating how much money it costs to produce this stuff. Economies of scale and certain other practices in this specific industry allow retailers to sell stuff at a significant markup even when it seems like they're giving customers a heavy discount.

    But even with relatively large markup percentages, the low price point means retailers have to move incredible volumes in order to make enough money to stay open. So they end up using aggressive marketing tactics to get people to come in the door and start impulsively buying stuff.

    My intuition is that those shirts are simply from last season and didn't sell well enough or they've gone out of fashion. The store is using it as an opportunity to put a big 80% off sign out front and whip potential customers into a frenzy. Could also be a scheme to recover costs from online returns. But I really doubt there is anything wrong or even different about those shirts.

  • Did cats domesticate humans, or did Toxoplasma gondii domesticate both of us?

  • It definitely could be a hardware failure, but if the system still boots fine, it's probably not that. Based on the symptoms, I think you might have clobbered your PATH variable. This can happen when you do something like PATH=/new/path/ because the variable gets overwritten. You have to remember to preserve the existing value with PATH=$PATH:/new/path/. Don't worry, this is reversible.

    The best thing to do would be to fix or temporarily remove the commands you used to set PATH in whatever profile or .rc file it's in. You can run whatever text editor you have installed by specifying the path to the executable. I don't know exactly where vim is on Fedora, but it's probably something similar to /sbin/vim or /usr/bin/vim. Keep trying locations until you find the right one. Then log out and back in and it should be fixed.

    You might also be able to login as root and use the shell normally to fix the problem, depending on which file contains the faulty command. Hopefully this helps.

  • A tumblrized reference to an ancient reddit in-joke. How quaint.

    Honestly kind of a bittersweet thing to see, it makes me think of all the good things we left behind. But then again, we did bring the best parts with us. Star Trek, Linux, and beans are all a Lemmizen needs.

  • Maybe pay a random stranger in cash to rent a bike for you

  • A handsome, charming, and mysterious figure suddenly has every villainous capitalist in the country checking over their shoulder, and racing to staff their facilities with enough stooges to hold this phantom off long enough for them to load their billions into their rocket ships and flee.

    Real life has become an ideology-bent spy thriller and I'm only slightly ashamed to be fully caught up in the intrigue.

  • It always amazes me that French politicians have the gall (pun not intended) to even attempt stuff like this, considering the last 250 years of political context in the region.

  • In case you're actually, seriously asking and not just trolling, having privilege and success under capitalism does not disqualify a person from being a leftist. You can't really criticize a person for participating in a system where if you don't participate, you starve.

    He's using his influence to organize the working class and advocate for collective action, which is the one tool workers have in the fight against their own exploitation. Even if you don't like him personally or don't think he's part of the working class, he is a very strong ally and has undeniably strengthened the movement.

  • Vulcan, Alberta.

    Famous because of a spaceship that landed there once, I think.

    Some people with pointed ears may have also been involved, but I would replicate that with a grain of salt. I haven't really looked into it.

  • If only people cared about workers getting trapped in cycles of desperation in literally every other industry even half as much as they pretend to care about sex workers.

  • I used what known as 2's compliment. Take the complement (flip all the bits - here that would give you 01110 which is 14) then add 1.

  • Did you only try F2? It's possible the graphical session is on tty2 - see if ctl+alt+F1/ 3 does anything

  • Not a myth. What's inside the fridge doesn't really matter when talking about efficiency. It pretty much only depends on the rate at which energy seeps into the fridge from outside. All else being equal, chest fridges allow significantly less heat transfer through an open door than regular fridges, and are therefore a more efficient design.

    You're completely right about the second part, though. It's just not practical, and the fact you would have to keep the door open longer while you rummage around for stuff renders the point moot anyway.
