The nightshade family also gives us a lot of important vegetables. Potatoes, tomatoes, and peppers being the most common but others as well.

Those fried eggs were premade and came from a case in the freezer. 100%.

Those people are wilfully ignoring the 3 trillion pumped into the market to prop it up when it crashed in 2020, which absolutely dwarfs the pittance handed out as stimulus.

Yeah, I bet. Did they? Reverse it?

grte,

I don’t know about any clients but if you block the lemmit.online bot and the zerobytes.monster bot the reposts will drop by like 90%.

grte,

You wanna know something else? The majority of the world economy is already centrally planned. Not on the national level, on the corporate level. Business is dominated by a relatively few giant corporations with internal economies the size of some nations. None of them run free markets internally. Sears experimented with it, to their demise. Central planning is already the primary way that our economic lives are driven. It’s just we let unaccountable billionaires do the planning instead of an elected body.

grte,

That was definitely sarcastic. OP posted a very anti-private industry meme, I doubt they are like, “except roads, though, I love toll roads.”

grte,

That’s exactly it, though. All that infrastructure got built when the government would directly build infrastructure. The Interstate System, the Transcontinental Railroad, these got built because the government got them done. It’s only since the birth of neoliberalism during Carter’s presidency, and supercharged during Reagan’s, where infrastructure only gets done through public private partnerships that things stopped being built.

I believe it was this guy, an LG Cosmos 2. I recall it being not great. But it was infinitely nicer to type on than any phone I’ve had since so there’s that.

grte,

Back in 1999 I came across a copy of this book. Not a great book, I wouldn’t recommend it even if it weren’t decades out of date at this point. But it came with a CD-ROM with Red Hat Linux 6.2 which I installed on the family computer and never really looked back. I haven’t had a Windows install since 2004ish.

I’ve never really been an evangelist about it, though. And I would say that I was obsessed at one point but that’s waned quite a bit in the last few years. I’m still Linux only but messing about with computers generally quite a lot less.

Wanting to improve my Linux skills after 17 months of daily driving Linux

I’ve been daily driving Linux for 17 months now (currently on Linux Mint). I have got very comfortable with basic commands and many just works distros (such as Linux Mint, or Pop!_OS) with apt as the package manager. I’ve tried Debian as a distro to try to challenge myself, but have always ran into issues. On my PC, I could...

Similar experience. My current install is not as old due to hardware failure but I’ve been using arch since 2007ish and it’s been stable enough through all that concurrent with sort of losing interest in being an admin for a hobby in the last few years that I’ve honestly got kind of bad at administrating the thing, haha. But it hardly matters because issues are rare.

grte,

Star Trek has been very political since the original series.

grte,

Why do you think a Levantine Trail of Tears is an acceptable solution rather than ethnic cleansing?

grte,

Ben Shapiro, Steven Crowder, Dinesh D’Souza, and Peter Hitchens among names you may have heard of.

As well as an endless supply of idiots on web forums throughout the last 30+ years.

This is the right’s favourite lie to distance themselves from the natural end result of their ideology.

grte,

I don’t agree. Arching your back is technique. Using your biomechanics to achieve a more efficient lift. This is like claiming utilizing the bounce out of the bottom of a squat is cheating.

grte,

Arched back is an issue when squatting or dead lifting or other movements with significant vertical load on the back. Not the case with bench pressing. Bouncing out of a squat is also perfectly safe.
