As a current one I concur.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•This is crazy. Why don't you just take their car ?English
2·5 days agoI suppose the older I get the more I can get behind this, similar to interlock devices for people that can’t control their drinking, I would imagine the offender would have to pay for it or lose their license. I know it seems crazy to force people to stay within the speed limit, but fining and tickets don’t work for some people.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL: The Median Age for FOX, CNN & MSNBC Viewers is Around 70 Years OldEnglish
2·5 days agoMy sincerest apologies friend, I have a few less years of formal education than most of the people on here. I believe my confusion was due to my utter lack of understanding, I was equating median with the physical barrier placed in between sides of a divided highway.
Once again though, my apologies and thank you for providing me with a bit of knowledge! Always happy to be part of the 10k.

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Elon Musk is digging a car tunnel under Nashville, Tennessee to reduce traffic jams. Local officials are worried.English
7·5 days agoI’m half with you; eminent domain it, but I wouldn’t trust his tunnels with humans in them. Maybe it could be repurposed as a way to redirect flood waters or something. His tunneling ability is right up there with his morality acumen.
Tell that to the untouched land behind me that when brought to the planning commission was hit with more complaints than they could handle and it was withdrawn. A new plan was slipped through avoiding the lot that touched homes so they didn’t have to notify anyone. It was approved and they immediately cleared the lot that wasn’t in the plan citing the need for an emergency exit. Then they added about 80 foot of elevation to the property (so much dirt and dust).

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL: The Median Age for FOX, CNN & MSNBC Viewers is Around 70 Years OldEnglish
11·6 days agoUmm… So assuming their youngest viewer is 0, who the fuck is the 140 year old still watching the news? I’m going to go out on a limb and reread that in my head as the “mean” age (average) instead of “median” (being the mid-point in a range).
I hate to be that guy, but words used to have meanings.
Thank you for not only the laughter this morning but also for perfectly explaining why I always go for nano.

Opensource@programming.dev•Mattermost say they will not clarify what license the project is under
4·7 days agoIt claims to be an open source alternative to Teams/Slack/etc. I thought Mattermost was pretty cool until I installed it, then I realized stuff like OIDC was locked behind a paywall and that is a requirement I rarely wave for things I run at home. After a bit of fighting I just abandoned it.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there a word or phrase in your language to describe the situation when you wanted to fart but shit yourself?
4·8 days agoYeah, some of us never forget and fondly remember every embarrassing moment we’ve witnessed, thankfully most of us know to not bring it up and just enjoy it to ourselves.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Steam Machine Hardware Has Me Worried About the PS5’s Long-Term FutureEnglish
3·8 days agoA lot of people forget stuff easily. Remeber PSTV? While not a crazy or amazing device PSTV was pretty awesome (to me) before they nuked it, just another in a long line of forgotten tech.
I’ve used both but really like jotty…

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you argue against "I have nothing to hide" in relation to privacy and security?
6·9 days agoIt is sadly something that some people will never understand. You could question why he does the things he does (closing curtains, using envelopes for letters instead of just using a postcard, having a password at all), but that would likely just make him feel attacked.
Everyone has their specific method, personally I tap the top and bottom on the counter, then roll it on the counter with a little bit of pressure. For me, this let’s the shell get all cracked up but still stick to the membrane and peels off super easily… It worked well enough that my wife asked me why I never mention it for the first decade of our marriage, I thought everyone knew and just did it their own way.
ITGuyLevi@programming.devtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•I would like to go to thereEnglish
6·10 days agoI rented a house for a while with Miele appliances in it (dishwasher, double oven, steam oven, microwave, and hob), they were amazing. They felt well built, never had an issue (I only lived there for five years though) and had features I would never dream of using, the oven had a sabbath mode or something that you could set up to turn on and cook your food for you a day in advance or something crazy like that.
After moving to my current house I looked into them, they are way too expensive for my blood.

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Social gatherings have been... different since I switched.
2·13 days agoWhat distro are you guys using to get errors like that? I’ve been a Debian guy as long as I can remember and was so happy when I gave up using Windows for games. Windows doesn’t seem to scale worth a shit, I have two twenty-seven inch monitors and one twenty-four inch monitor flipped portrait (it feels wrong but is so great for documentation); when I move a window halfway between two different size monitors the window is all fucked up, on Debian it is the same physical size across the displays and doesn’t look like someone is trying to zoom in on half of it.
All that being said, my son’s computer is close (he runs Arch… btw), but not perfect… I don’t know if that’s an Arch thing or he just doesn’t care about it as much as I do.

Leopards Ate My Face@lemmy.world•OP is shocked that an import tax is not paid by the exporterEnglish
13·14 days agoOh they announced it loudly that it would be passed down to consumers, but some people prefer to watch opinion channels that played it like tariff and import-tax were different.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is it possible to reverse pit a copcar before they pit you? Like if you know a cop is going to pit you on their right side, can you use your left back end to hit them first?
2·15 days agoHoly hell that was an amazing recovery a few times!
ITGuyLevi@programming.devtoAskHistorians@lemmy.world•Did the founding fathers get high on weed? Or did they actually use it as rope? Abe lincoln talks about smoking sweet hemp, and Jefferson kept journals on growing them?English
3·15 days agoI believe the ban was shortly after the invention of nylon. DuPont maybe.

World News@lemmy.world•Toyota Owner Didn’t Know His Car Was Talking To Insurers Until He Saw His RatesEnglish
1·18 days agoIf you just want it off that can be done too, but it depends on the vehicle as to where the modem is. For my Jeep its behind the head unit and seems to be a major pain to get to, but really its just a couple pieces of trim and a headunit in the way.
The only reason I haven’t is because I want to just get rid of it and get something more basic.




I don’t think I’ve played a Baulders Gate game in a long time, as long as they include Drizzt I’ll be happy. Well, maybe also Minsc (had to Google his name)… “Make way evil, I’m armed to the teeth and packing a hamster!” still randomly pops into my head
