It’s just a bad fuel in every way. This administration is trying to coerce us to use it

It has had trouble with some subtitles. That’s the biggest issue I’ve had

It is a little convoluted how it’s set up, but I have a debt of gratitude to the Calibre community for their various add-ons freeing my legally purchased books of their DRM! Which is what enabled me to have centralized library in the first place, since they were all on different services. But now I’ve quit Amazon and have everything accessible from KOreader on my Kobo, via Calibre-web

Searxng is fun for self hosted metasearch but has sadly been having trouble with Google lately

It’s handy to share media with my family! The Roku app works OK

The committee tried to appease Trump by offering it to a Venezuelan right winger. They learned the lesson so many have learned; that these people cannot be met halfway, if you give them an inch they WILL take a foot.

The secret is that being evil makes life pretty easy, compared to actually trying to contribute to the world. Being a ruthless and shameless thief, plus a lot of luck, has allowed him to gather absurd quantities of wealth. There’s no talent needed in this screwed up system

IIRC there is a whole industry that builds them custom, often out of fiberglass

Palo Alto has finally started to crack down on this nonsense. It’s been a wealthy area for decades, but the behavior of these ultra rich freaks is hard for anyone to tolerate.

Unlike Coca-cola, these traffickers reuse their containers

Popular doesn’t mean just.

It is awkward for a prof to be in world news for romantically chasing after a mentee, asking for advice from someone he knew was a convicted sex predator. Then he is expected to lead a lecture. Maybe you’ve never led a college lecture, but I can assure you from experience that would be a very difficult situation. Maintaining an environment of respect between professor and students is already difficult in normal circumstances

Ah yeah, Lawrence Krauss, very few are surprised about that one

They say the camera points down, but that makes me wonder…what about the reflections?? Oh god, the reflections

But the cleaning lady had some guts!

Corporations are only people when it benefits them. Speech is only free when it benefits them. The market is only free when it benefits them. Congress only holds power of the purse when it benefits them. Hypocrisy is a tool the oligarchs use to express their power. Hypocrisy is the point.

I think the ability to metabolize ethanol with alcohol dehydrogenase is a separate, more recent thing. But a lot of the tree of life gets buzzed in various ways! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recreational_drug_use_in_animals

Maybe in the area of Montana they were limited in choices, thought this place would do, but did not do a test run to ensure ventilation, leading to terrible results. Perhaps the unit was seldom used and poorly maintained (the fact that there were kittens in the same room as the incinerator seems crazy to me)

Yes, it just seems like a comedy of errors here, unfortunately the animals and staff suffered the price
