These exact reasons are why places like Buc-ees, Sheets, and Chick-fil-A are doing so damn well. People actually feel like they are getting something they want (good, fast, and/or cheap), when compared to McDs which somehow provides none of them.

Last time I went, waited 20 min for ‘fast food’, then got hit with a large bill. Yeah, no shit sales are down. Haven’t gone back in years.

You want to help people so they don’t feel murder is their best choice in life, and if they do, you need to stop the threat. Having a camera go ‘someone might have a gun, I promise this isn’t the 1000’th false positive’ right as they start murdering people isn’t helpful.

Vehicles & Fuel tanks is where all the action is now.

“Can’t kill a tank if we keep sending assaults on golf carts! Checkmate Ukrainians!”

Make a textfile you sync between your devices. Save the URL, book name, or whatever; each on a new line.

So tags and the option to filter them would be nice!

You can tag them at will. Put “#TagName” next to an entry and later you can ctrl-f “#TagName” (or anything else) in the file. Notepad++, grep, and other tools will even give you a list of everything that matched your search criteria if you want to see all items that match at once.

I like to keep things simple!

This is already a Commercial Driver’s License requirement. What is the specific issue here?

“Interpreters are prohibited during the administration of skills tests. Applicants must be able to understand and respond to verbal commands and instructions in English by a skills test examiner.” CDL Standards

It’s already part of the federal commercial driver regulations too

If it is already part of the rules, what makes this EO a bad thing? Sounds like it’s just enforcing a status-quo that nobody had an issue with.

Just keep participating. Other platforms will occasionally explode, people will look here, and if they see activity, many will stay.

If you look at active user charts for Lemmy, basically every time Reddit explodes, Lemmy picks up permanent users.

no distro is best

And the nice thing is this isn’t like MacOS vs Windows. Knowledge gained in one distro is transferable to other distros. Just pick one and get started, you can always change later if you wish.

Ok, he actually did a good job with the sponsor slot, writing a script for it complete with ascii art.

• This has been my yearly allotment of saying nice things about an ad.

Always love seeing popular people talking about/pushing it. The biggest thing desktop Linux was missing in the past was a critical mass of users. And, It seems to have gotten that critical mass now.

Picked it up, excited to try it out. :)

For linux people, if you are having troubles launching it, add the following environment variable to the game (if you are using the Heoric launcher, it’s in the game-specific settings menu under Advanced): WINEDLLOVERRIDES=ddraw=n,b;dinput=n,b

If by hypersonic missile they mean ‘the standard ballistic missiles everyone has had since the 60s’ then, sure.

This game looks pretty solid. Worth playing?

It is not hard to learn a few keywords so roadsigns can be understood.

Exactly. Ukraine gave up land for peace in 2014. Putin said thank you and came back for more.

No, the only solution is to assist Ukraine in stopping Russia.

No, it’s a small enough problem everywhere in the US that putting any real thought into “will people reject me because of my skin” (as OP asks) is overthinking it.

Categories most would recognize are ‘asian’, ‘black’, ‘white’, and sometimes ‘hispanic’ or ‘middle eastern’. Most people aren’t going to get much more specific than that.

The racism you see on the news certainly exists, but remember what you see on the news is news because it is rare. You don’t see every obituary and car crash, because such common occurrences aren’t news.

It is something I wouldn’t put too much thought into regardless of your race.

There are lots of places where the only impediment to additional usable water is simply building a facility to treat more water, facilities which these AI data center owners are themselves paying for (usually indirectly via a bill from the water utility). The article also doesn’t mention any reasons whatsoever why water usage is an issue. It isn’t like dehydrating crops in the Sahara will be impacted by water cooled data centers in Columbus, OH.
