6969 looks like a popular choice. Nice.

Hopefully it's only antivaxxers' kids who die because of this.

Given that .net was a TLD long before the framework came out, it was a stupid thing to name it. Caused confusion and the inability to Google things right away.

This is the stupid shit we get for letting Iowa always be first in the nominating contests.

I used Unix workstations in college. After graduation my choices were MS-DOS and Windows 3.1, or a real OS. Started with Slackware in the mid-1990's.

Well, except for bleach, which can cure COVID

I think you and I are using different definitions of "quickest". Lessening car dependence in the US will take years. People can drive electric today.

I'm referring to the millions of people who live where there is no possibility of public transit because the population density is way too low. I'm all in favor of making cities car-free zones, but outside of major population centers, the quickest way to help the environment is to switch to electric vehicles.

The problem is America is built assuming the use of cars. Most Americans cannot simply trade their car for a bicycle, because they live too far away from goods and services. And even if they could ride the bike the 5 or 10 or 20 miles to the nearest grocery store, good luck getting little Timmy and Suzie to their soccer practice or scout meeting.

So at least an electric car stops the tailpipe emissions while we think about changing where people live and where their services are located.

Try boneless & skinless sardines or mackerel for a less mercury-filled fish hit.
I eat 2 cans per day, generally on top of a leafy green salad. Ranch dressing makes everything taste great.
