Nah, I’m nostalgic for the time when a chat was just a chat, not a signal to be analyzed, monetized, advertised, and propagandized.

Guessing isn’t knowing.

It’s definitely an SUV/crossover/wagon. The rear window is almost vertical.

More likely because somebody wanted to evade copyright filters or something like that, but sure, could be obfuscating for the sake of obfuscating too.

How do you know it was FWD? Do you have encyclopedic knowledge of vehicle interiors by make/model or something?

I mean… logistically it would be more efficient if we all just recycled regardless, and then the polluters paid for the processing.

Logistically it would be more efficient if we went back to having bottle deposits (and expanded it to include other types of containers) so that the packaging would be picked up and reused, not recycled.

Leave it to Sony to come up with new and innovative ways to harass customers.

Very popular this time of year.

My city’s public pools close at the beginning of August for some stupid-ass reason.

Personally I actually think class has more to do with it than sexism in general. For example the first professional woman to play golf in slacks was in 1933, while the first black professional golfer was allowed in the PGA in 1967.

It’s weird that you keep saying only “class” when you mean both class and race. Yes, they’re correlated, but they’re not the same and both really are at play here.

Yep. When I say “I use Keepass” what I actually mean is “I use KeepassXC, Macpass, KeepassDX, etc. depending on which OS I’m on at the time” and AFAIK none of those are actually made by the original Keepass developer.

No, he shouldn’t have switched to Bitwarden. Why the fuck do people keep recommending cloud shit instead of Keepass?

I don’t know where this weird trope of thinking Keepass is somehow obsolete or inferior came from, because it isn’t.

However, not everyone believes that. It is not fair to claim a monopoly and ostracize team members who might disagree with you.

Karimov is definitely telling on himself there. If you think it’s “not fair” to ostracize racists, you’re a motherfucking racist!

1Password is now outed as a NAZI organization. Period.

Suing doesn’t matter; the voting will have been over and the disenfranchisement incurable.

They’re daring us to try and stop them by force, in order to invoke the exception in the law another commenter cited. They want to pretend that us trying to stop their coup makes us the “armed enemies of the United States” instead of them.

This is the consequence of failing to prosecute Trump for Jan 6.

The monster happened to be nearby and heard or felt the impact (does the monster have ears? We do not know).

Yes, plesiosaurs have inner ears similar to other aquatic reptiles.

I was thinking more in terms of replying to the comments within threads, rather than the posts themselves. But yeah, I guess you’ve got a point that the number of comments under a post might influence its position in some types of feeds.

Okay, it’s even more confusing than I realized.

I would’ve said that “O-Scale” in the US refers to both the 1:48 rolling stock and the 1.25" track used with it (but that you could also call the track “O gauge” if you want), while “O-Gauge” in the UK refers to both the 1.43.5 rolling stock and the 32 mm track used with it (which happens to be only 0.25 mm different to the US track).

Now that I’ve looked it up, though, apparently there’s a third European standard involving 1:45 stock on a 32 mm track. And of course, there’s 0-27 gauge (which is almost the same as O and mostly compatible with it but not quite), and apparently several other variants. It’s a real mess.

Happily, I think other scales like G, HO, and N don’t have nearly as much of that sort of problem.

Edit: never mind, I just read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_transport_modelling_scales#Scale_standards and it’s a clusterfuck everywhere.

At this point there’s only one step left.

I think the names for the sizes are mostly the same, but different sizes are common in different countries.

Also, IIRC there’s an “O-gauge” and an “O-scale” and they aren’t the same.

FYI, I never disagreed with you on the morality of it to begin with. In fact, that’s why I didn’t address that point: I had no objections to it.

Now, seriously, for the last fucking time, knock it off with your needlessly combative attitude! You’re the only one here acting in bad faith!
