It’s gonna be emacs. You know it, we all fear it, but it’s gonna be emacs and some visicalc-mode shit.

Tesla has faced criticism in the past for the design of its manual release levers, which are considered poorly designed and unintuitively placed.

I like how the article delivered that fact in a way that focuses on their inadequacy while highlighting their existence. It’s like "we know they had a backup option, so shut up. They still weren’t good enough to be available for the emergency when they’re hidden behind shit.

If I put a half-wall up in my house in front of a visible window that can be used as emergency egress, I’m in shit. This hidden latch is no better.

Careful. The yaml cult will come after you in a long and formless column, and only self destruct when one of them is a step too far to the left.

It’s okay to still use a hyphen between ‘load’ and ‘balancing’. As a bonus, what you write would then be English, too.

Is that the same as prosody.im ?

That’s the one I’ve been looking at. It seems to be easy, but I haven’t had time to look into it fully.

Wonder who bankrolled this poll.

Well that comment aged like milk.

Gentle reminder: changing her stance on the Gaza genocide was the “damned if you do” side of the trap that she didn’t go for.

Gentle idea: maybe think a few moves ahead. Even the conservatives were.

Let hope this next one isn’t as close as ours was. I’d like to know that our rights are secure by something more than 9 votes in one riding.

Crop-dusting for justice.

How are the lawsuits against the church going?

No worries. 50-50 chance the anti-science guy is gonna get in and we don’t have to worry about funding for this any more.

There’ll BE none.

Public yes, but not nationalized. User fees and ends-means and run-to-fail has severely damaged the critical resource that is our bc highways ferry system, and removed any reliability from the transit systems which are our main evacuation system in emergencies. These are services classed as Emergency and Essential that can barely provide minimal service in optimal circumstances, let alone under stress.

We have failing boats, fairweather trains, ditched buses, etc. Why? Costs of doing it right is not borne out by user fees and gov proceeds are insufficient. A guy in castlegar shipping to Vancouver pays nothing extra for road access aside from fuel costs; shipping it further to Nanaimo or Victoria means massive cost increases hat he’d rather not pay in taxes OR user fees. So while he enjoys access to roads maintained by Transpo, he sneers at doing his part to maintain a ferry system and will consistently vote against smart money and seamless service because some fucking suit from Edmonton told him user-pay is better for ferries because then it’s the others’ problem. Screw those guys.

Buses. Paid mainly by the gov but with user fees to ensure the poorest can’t use them. And still the buses are in the ditch at the Markham turnoff in the winter for lack of winter tires. User fees do not support a decent tire budget, let alone an actual biz continuity plan.

There’s Government Service, and there’s Public Service Badly Managed for Profit. Hint: if our ferry system tries to bill itself as a tour operator, it’s in the latter group.

They want transit to support itself through user fees and local taxes. That’s about 90% taxes and 10% user fees.

Because user fees worked so well for them during COVID. Losing 10% meant service reduction and less user fees and then more service reduction, etc.

Yeah, honestly, kinda fuck off a bit.

I get your point, and validation is key always. But it’s a good little story and I like the idea of people leaving North Korea if it is really as bad as they claim (without independent validation).
