Ironic.

I bet Big Bird would actually be a pretty solid leader.

That seems highly probable but let’s be real here: That’s a pretty low bar.

I use it for r/sysadmin and niche/hobby stuff still but am pretty happy that the fediverse is here: It’s only going to get better as time goes on at this point.

No way, really? How unexpected.

Hey, it’s my namesake!

I don’t think I’d drive an SUV at all if you were concerned with cost or handling, but IMO it depends on what you need: Modern traction control with good all terrain tires can handle extremely well in snow or rain - AWD isn’t necessary.

That said, my current daily driver is an AWD manual Subaru sedan and I have to admit: It corners better and is just a bit more resistant to losing control and a little faster in regaining control. If cost is not a concern, go with an AWD sedan especially if you drive in adverse conditions a lot.

If money is tight, stick with your FWD sedan and make sure you have quality all season tires as well as keeping your brakes and related systems in good condition - this would likely be more than adequate in any reasonable conditions especially if you are already a good driver (and if not, it’s never too late to learn).

That’s still a drop in the bucket compared to how much they owe and how much they have stolen via wage theft, subverting our government with paid for politicians/judges/officials and unfair laws favorable to them, and otherwise ripping off the public/betraying the social contract. Progress nonetheless though!

Mankind.

Glad they included “at least” because there’s no way it’s that low.

1. Probably the open source nature of Lemmy but also…

2. Are you an American? Based on US politics, much of the world would be “left wing” when much of it is really largely just moderates. Politics have been pushed so far to the right in the US that most politicians range from far right to moderate right, democrats included. Despite all the noise far right people are making about “the left”, there’s almost no far left representation in US government at all. Many of the people they’re talking about are just moderates and fellow conservatives that aren’t right wing enough in their view.

W is a smart guy who plays dumb, Trump is a dumb guy who thinks he’s smart. As long as Bush didn’t pull any punches so to speak, I don’t see how he would lose.

Not even a little bit surprised.

This is nothing new, pun intended.

I guess I’d keep doing my current job and enjoy the extra income by spending it on luxurious things like grounded electrical outlets and updated plumbing that isn’t falling apart.

…but, Betty is a woman’s name!

I eat it from the end opposite the stem: Just pop the nub off like a button and split from there. I have found it to be, by far, the easiest way to open a banana.

Wow, people still quote Silicon Valley?

There’s basically no way he would’ve made it to trial as the soviets took Berlin, but he would’ve been executed like the others.
