Lynn, these are sex people.

The Wagner group logo looks like it is from a made-up enemy country in a video game.

If I had a billion dollars I would simply never drive myself, and I would not ride in a Tesla. It’s the same car that techbros drive and has a subpar safety record.

A lot of celebrities used to drive Priuses as the eco-friendly choice back when it was new, and I didn’t read anything about them dying in crashes. But Priuses don’t have the acceleration of a drag racer or quality control problems.

Thank you that’s awesome, what a good dog.

I would like to diminish the cat/dog skills gap. Cats could be bred to be much larger and their addiction to the scourge of catnip removed, allowing them to flourish. And make it so their natural predator instincts are only aimed at invasive species.

My idea is to create a breed of dog that can climb trees. I have no answer for why or how.

I’d be a Moogle that you deliever messages for and helps you save your game, kupo!

Men would literally rather maintain a seed ratio for private trackers and operate a seedbox than pay for movies.

One of the biggest cities in the USA, where the weather is perfect year round. That was designed and built up within the last 80 years around cars - it wasn’t designed for horses or walking and there should be plenty of room for bike lanes.

Why wouldn’t people want to ride bikes or commute via streetcar or bus? Hell, they could build one of those flat escalators that they have in airports and it would be usable 95% of the time.

Imagine if in the 40s the city planners of LA weren’t racist, there could be a sweet network of bike paths going under, over, and alongside roads linking every part of the city. Instead these losers want to cater a major metropolitan area to the operators of mechanical deathboxes.

Plenty of Angelinos want good urban transport, but they’re not backed by commercial real estate interests and aren’t whining loudly online about it every day.

That could have been the year that a critical mass of schools started mandatory school shooter “drills” involving the students.

Those have been shown to increase anxiety among the students that participate in them. The biggest company running these “drills” is for-profit and has no incentive to not scare children.

I use red potatoes in anything, except shredded because they’re too small.

They’re best roasted, but great any other way. A potato salad, creamy soup, potato pancakes, Irish farls (potato bread) etc would all work.

Edit: the best way to roast them is to find a good smashed potato recipe. The one from America’s Test Kitchen is good but behind a paywall now probably. You boil them, then smash them (the ATK recipe has you smash another pan on top to make it easy) and they bake up terrifically.

My prediction is that General Barhandle will be this Civil War’s General Burnsides and bring about the next mustache trend.

Ubisoft is master of Europe/Canada. Only the pirate fleet stands before them. Oceans Video game DRMs are now battlefields.

I’m always on a VPN usually on WiFi unless I’m driving. I get a day or so if I’m not working and not taking a lot of photos, and since my phone is usually plugged in while I’m driving around for work I don’t charge it at night except for weekends.

I should probably plug it in at night, does anyone know how the feature that does a slow charge until your alarm is scheduled to go off in the morning affects battery longevity?

I think Aldi is so successful in the US because they don’t do this. There is an aisle or two with random crap, and seasonal items in another spot, but I can be in and out with everything I went for in ten minutes. Trader Joe’s might do this too, I haven’t been to one in a long time. I wonder if Whole Foods or the other upscale stores fuck around with their shoppers like that.

Smaller grocery chains or independent grocers didnt change their store layouts from what I remember, but they went under or were bought out by the big chains that are already very profitable but still try to wring everything they can out of their captive audience.

What percentage of people on the island of Taiwan speak the language of the indigenous people?

Wikipedia says 2.3% of the people living there are indigenous, but only 1.4% speak a Formosan language due to “language shift” - but the article leads with the info on how during 40 years of martial law under a US-backed regime, speaking their native language was heavily suppressed. It took until the 2000s for any sort of promotion of these languages.
