This actually doesn’t seem bad? I agree with the article that an execute order isn’t enough, congress needs to take action.

We spend more on health care per person and have worse outcomes than any country in the global north.

That has a lot to do with privatizing all our medical facilities and wasting a ton of money through private insurance.

One is a sci-fi and one is fantasy in space. Totally different genres.

In the early 2000s my hp printer had a paper jam and the error message from cups was “printer on fire!”

I burned some mix cds for a 90s themed birthday party a few months ago. Those CDRs had been sitting in a spindle in my attic for 20 years and still worked!

As someone who relies on media mail for my small business, rates have increased every 4 months for the last 5 years.

This is purposeful. The administration is not interested in a public post office and would love to see it privatized.

Agreed. I much prefer listening to full albums. Even stuff I bought a long time ago as a teenager for one song, I’ve enjoyed going back and listening to the complete album.

I burned a cd for niece a few months back. She was in awe. Surprisingly that spindle of CDRs that have been sitting in my attic for 20 something years still record just fine!

I also have ripped all my CDs as flacs and stream them with navidrome. Convenience is nice and beats syncing to an mp3 player.

I also have a raspberry pi hooked up to my stereo with an nfid reader and print out cards with album art. Just select the one you want, drop it on the reader, and the album plays.

Instead of disowning use exec or xdg-open

I thought it was Larry Ellison’s son that is about to own this?

That’s because it’s dystopian fantasy not dystopian sci-fi

Go to your local library. Many have a great selection on blu-ray and dvds. Having to select something from a shelf is way more enjoyable than the endless scroll of junk streaming services give you. I am now actually purposefully selecting movies and shows to watch and making time and effort to finish them instead of just streaming random stuff.

Plus you get commentaries and bonus features.

Yup. When I entered college in computer science in 2001, there was an all your base belong to us joke in it, which means it was at least a year old

Is this from the catwings children’s book?

You can’t do corn every year. Corn farmers need to rotate and the primary crop is soy since it replenishes the nutrients corn needs and it is easy and you can sell it (or could)

In early versions of Linux when manually setting up your sound card, Redhat came with a test audio clip of Linus Torvolds saying “I province Linux as Linux”. Even though it is named after him he did not pronounce it like his name: Ly-nix.

What is wrong with soy? It is great at restoring nutrients in soil. It is full of protein. It is a great meat alternative…

You can’t grow corn every year. It depletes the soil of nutrients. We grow soy because 1) it restores soil nutrients 2) it is very easy to plant and harvest 3) it can grow almost anywhere in the US 4) we had a buyer which was china using it as animal feed.

I don’t know that there is another good cash crop we can use for crop rotation.
