One of the most satisfying things for me is driving my wife’s little Mirage in the snow. With normal all season tires it does great, with proper snow tires it’s completely unstoppable - that is, until you need to stop.
It turns out that accelrating and stopping a 2,000 pound car on ice and snow is easier than it is with a 4,000 pound vehicle.
I’ve been stuck in a body with myself for a long time.
Money people are literally too stupid to understand anything other than line go up or line go down. They were told line would go up if DRM, so that’s what they want.
I wish I could get my head around programming. I’ve tried learning from books, I’ve tried learning from codecademy, and all I can do is follow the lessons, I don’t understand how I’m supposed to turn all these lines of gibberish into a program that does something. The most common bit of advice I get is “Just make up a project! Find something that you want the computer to do, it’s easy and fun!” And I’m over here like… “OK, how?” It’s like someone pointing to a pile of metal and a welder and saying “Build something!” Sure, someone who knows how to weld can do that, but most people are going to need more information.
If I get an ad for a product in my dreams I will burn down the closest store carrying that product.
You’re probably right. I was comparing it to Factorio.
I’m pretty sure reading ebooks is the most common thing I do with my phone.

This has less to do with pornography than it does normalizing one more goddamn camera.
Say it again for the people in the back.
Can’t wait to buy a roll of Solar Sheet to put on the roof - or over a tent.
It probably won’t save them from getting Dorner’ed again.
But not the faraday cage around the telematics unit.
If that were the case, there would be traffic jams in tunnels across the country due to disabled cars.
May be able to find and remove whatever it’s using as a cellphone antenna.
TIL about Friendica
Baby formula, laundry detergent, and food I bet.
Inb4 someone claims that all of that being stolen is being used to make drugs somehow.
What I have wondered is do people who grow up in places where the streets are more or less in a grid end up with a different sense of direction to those who grew up in a place where old walking paths were just paved over, creating more random street layouts?
