That’s one thing I’m putting some hope in. Tariffs and stupid shit like Worm Boy running our national health infrastructure into the ground benefit no one. Not big companies, not us little guys. I’d hope these big companies will lobby hard to mitigate the stupidity that is bearing down on us.

No, the wheels are made of aluminum, not plastic

Literal crosshairs.

Oh I understood. I agree with you.

I would argue that something that was once available at home that is then restricted to a single place that must be shared with lots of people isn’t freely accessible.

My local library is within walking distance, but it’s pretty small. The Internet is free but not awesome in terms of speed.

If it’s only available at one place, it’s not freely accessible.

Logistically, how would that work? Libraries would have to be everywhere and they’d have to be massive. The IT infrastructure to support that would be immense. How would privacy work? Where could I go to have a private telehealth appointment, for example?

You’re right about raising prices, but it will benefit consumers. If you’re making a recipe, you won’t have to buy 2 things instead of one and then figure out what you’re gonna do with a weird fraction of some ingredient.

It’ll be less wasteful in terms of packaging too. That’s better for the environment.

For those wondering, the Marburg virus has similar symptoms as Ebola.

I religion is shit, but mosquitoes (and the myriad of illnesses they transmit) have killed more humans than humans have.

Irregardless regardless

I’m right handed but I use my left hand to type and navigate my phone. I also have my number pad on the left hand side of the keyboard.

“Caaaarl! That kills people!”

Reddit does shitty stuff, but at least I’m able to find stuff on there. Why Discord took off as a medium to replace forums is beyond me. It’s not easily searchable, and search engines can’t index it. If people aren’t fastidious about replying to messages they’re responding to, it’s just a nonsense stream of consciousness from dozens of people.

That being said, I hate the formatting of most forums. Reddit and Lemmy’s comment nesting is excellent. It’s very easy to follow conversations.

I take a 30 to 40 minute walk (2 miles) every day at work. Sometimes it’s to clear my head. Sometimes it’s to think about work. Sometimes it’s to think about not work. No one cares, and if they did, I’d argue it’s time well spent for the company. I can’t get anything done if my brain is overflowing with crap.

Man, a work LAN party would be pretty cool.
