I'm way too analytical to fall into that curve, and I'm sure most people on Lemmy are like that too. Like, we literally have data going back decades on most of these metrics, so why are people even going with their gut? Quite a few are literally numbers you can check!

But alas, your average nobody ignores data...

I've got the same setup but I found the issue wasn't the hardware but a driver conflict with my Nintendo Gameboy Printer. I was able to rollback and get it working fine.

Reminder that it's not just paying for infrastructure; it's the amount of force applied due to trucks and other heavy vehicles. Americans generally have heavier vehicles, which results in more potholes compared to places with more compact cars.

My city very much pays for pothole repair but the number of trucks and full size SUVs/vans are pretty high so we've got potholes o' plenty. It mostly just means every other day this major street I live on seems to have a crew doing a repair.

Aww man, I'd have loved BBQ today. It was my birthday and entirely uneventful aside from texts from people who didn't necessarily remember the day but had it saved on their socials.

Me and my mean voice just direct that anger at y'all. It gives me great things to say that I don't say out loud. Usually. Except in traffic.

I'm afraid that's a state secret, but I'll share that you do need to prepare some yellow cake just right to bring out the most in it.

With toddlers, it's the silence I most suspect!

This asshole is the reason I'm having to vote for a billionaire instead. The whole race is just so fucked.

Edit: Actually more context for non CA and non US folk; it's technically because of a mix of first past the post and open primary system. CA doesn't do a two party primary thing so everyone, including the Republicans, are on the same vote. Top two get to go on the general. It also allows pretty much let's everyone run it they can afford to do so.

For a while that also meant the risk of two Republicans because Dems diluted the vote to the extent that two Republicans were in the lead, but a Trump endorsement ironically saved the Dems trouble because it gave them a forerunner.

However, Dems only seem to have two closer frontrunners this close to the vote deadline. This guy who has experience but is a moderate with big donors... and a "good" billionaire hedge fund guy who has fairly progressive views (on paper). Others are more or less washed away, due to the aforementioned two person FPTP system and a Republican in the lead.

Though, to be fair, none of them are that progressive, anyway. Democratic socialists for instance didn't endorse anyone but did admit that Steyer is probably the better of the realistic candidates. It sucks since primaries are the only way we can get progressives on the ballot, but that's so difficult in big races with lots of ad money and the FPTP system...

I use all four in my cuisine!

Both great things to wake up to on this Saturday, which as we all know now, is one day from Sunday.

I've never seen this and it makes me so happy. Also I miss the old Internet.
