Also a cinnabon. And a coffee shop called green bean. And a pizza shop. And much more. Sometimes DFACs 1 and 4 gets old.
This is serious. If the USAF sets up shop anywhere we plan on having a presence for a while, there will be some amenities. Even if the base is bombed on a regular basis.
TCNs, or third country nationals. People from neither the US or locals.
From my understanding the reason why is the almighty dollar. They don’t get paid nearly as much as our troops and contractors, but still a lot more than they would make at home. There is quite a bit of info about it if you do a quick search.
Yes, Ubuntu 20 isn’t EOL yet. A lot of those downloads are probably IT staff or developers that are running Ubuntu servers or developing on those versions.

Rioting won’t do anything. The GOP voters and media outlets will frame at as anything that isn’t far right is bad.
In many ways, things are bad. We have large parts of the country completely dependent on cars. One of our chief judiciaries should be impeached. A former state governor actually faced criminal charges for far less than Clarence Thomas has been doing. The GOP is trying to dismantle public schools via privatization/vouchers, textbook manipulation, and gagging teachers. The GOP just might nominate Trump even though he is facing so many lawsuits his nickname should be The Defendant.
Right now, the Democrats far outnumber the GOP, buy the GOP has way better turn out. Saying vote constantly is to use our best defense, overwhelmingly defeats of these people in the elections. If all eligible voters voted, things would be quite different

The entire situation is a dumpster fire. Hamas resorting to random acts of violence instead of a targeted attack dooms their cause. Giving in to terrorism sends the message that it is an effective strategy, encouraging more of it. Israel’s reaction is almost as bad. Everyone is being punished for the actions of a few. The antisemitism from people like this hurts the Palestinian cause too.
When pulled over, any interaction beyond what is required by law should be not answered or answered with something along the lines of invoking the 5th. There are a bazillion YouTube lawyers that all the say this.
If you need directions, put in something that isn’t the abortion place, but has it along the way, like a national park or other tourist place, some conference, etc. Then put in the real destination when you get across the border.
At this point, now that their are viable alternatives (Renewables, Geothermal, Nuclear) and ways to drastically reduce their usage (War on Cars), oil should be a niche product for airplanes and construction vehicles. Large ocean cargo ships could be nuclear powered, although it would probably raise the cost of building the ships and the crew. As far as ships go, not everything needs to be shipped from the other side of the world.
Two of my coworkers frequently mention shows like “Encounters” or “Ancient apocalypse” or whatever. I’m not the best at debating or forming arguments against these though I do feel strongly that bold claims require better evidence than a blurry photo and an eyewitness account. How do you all go about this?...
To me, the frustrating part about wanting to end car dependence is it doesn’t mean they will completely go away. Most of the things that help are better for drivers because they keep impaired and distracted people off the road and allow us to tighten up licensing requirements. So you get less traffic with better drivers. You can also go to a bar and not worry about getting yourself or your car home.
I don’t think people are all that left. I think conservative has been misused so much it is almost a drop in for fascist or laissez fair capitalist.
E.g. abortion. The conservative mindset is to keep regulations to a minimal and defer to the medical community. Overruling Roe was pretty radical and goes against the recommendations of the medical community. It is also government getting into people’s business.
E.g. climate. Wouldn’t it be more conservative to err on the side of caution and do things that are a good idea anyway and reduce GHG, like renewables and reducing car dependent design? Replacing street cars, trams, and rails with cars everywhere was a pretty radical move.
I can keep going with examples, but I think that is clear enough.
they will simultaneously say that they are all moderates or conservatives.
That is the infuriating part. The people the are voting for are anything but that when you think about what they say the value and what those they vote for do. Case in point, I just got a mailer from a local politician with some anti trans nonsense about some trans woman athlete that did well and it wasn’t fair because she used to male. Wouldn’t the small government approach be to leave it up to the sports organization?
Same with schools. Why are all these alleged conservatives that claim small government out of their business trying to micromanage school libraries?
Why do these government out of my business types want the only way to get around be a car you have to have government permission to operate that you must register with the government that must meet government safety and emissions regulations, that you can only effectively use on government roads that are monitored constantly by government police and you have to have government mandated insurance that meets government requirements.
I’m not all in on prison abolitionism, but I think this is a good step in legal system reform. Most people in jail probably aren’t much of a threat to society.
In the US, people typically drive cars to work. These cars are 3000-6000 pounds that move 20-30 miles by burning oiil at 25% efficiency while also polluting the air with brake and tire dust.

I hope they make high schoolers learn about this song in a hundred years.
“Now students, in the late 20th century, musicians often blended styles. Rage Against the Machine has elements of metal and rap. This song is about the abuse of power and and bigotry by government enforcers, particularly police brutality towards non whites in the United States. This songs melody, lyrics, and singing style brilliantly expressed the rage many people felt about the state of the US legal system at the time, as evidenced by the civil rights movement, LA riots, and Black Lives Matter movement. Ironically, there are videos of people the song is critical of praising it or listening to it.”

Even if you are completely right about everything being as simple as you say, nobody wakes up and says “gee, I’m going to be stupid/self-destructive/neurodivergent today and cause myself a lot of pain.”
The answer is to use it as a case study to improve the design or perhaps provide a leaflet, QR code to a PDF, or a laminated card to assist renters with controls that are safety critical or unique to the vehicle
Get a tool smith and buy tools. Emeralds are super easy to get in bulk with master fisherman and fletchers. Selling sweet berries to butchers is another great source.
Villagers are human like mobs you trade with. Emeralds are used as a currency. Most fletchers buy sticks from you. The more you do business with a villager, the more trade options they have. High level fisherman buy a boat (5 wooden planks) for one emeralds.
Tool smiths start selling high quality enchanted iron and diamond tools once they are mid level. Enchantments do things like increase durability (unbreaking), improve speed (efficiency), and many other upgrades. Once you have a tool smith that sells say diamond axes, anything else is pointless to keep beyond an emergency backup. Cost isn’t a factor because the aforementioned selling of sticks and boats mean emeralds are a cheap and renewable resource.
This comment needs more attention. Sometimes I wash Lemmy had awards like Reddit to make important things visible.
Never would be allowing someone to scream racial slurs and ignoring it. Rarely and sometimes should be replaced with “it depends”. Always probably means the same thing as sometimes since you aren’t going to shout down a good speaker that you agree with. The whole survey doesn’t make sense when you stop to think about it.

Just call it a stadium. The names will vary with being called a field, park, or stadium, but if you say stadium everyone will know what you mean.
E.g. Turn left by (the stadium/Wrigley Field/Fenway Park/Dodger Stadium)
ETA: Field is generally used for small ones, like you would see in a public park. So if you go to city park to play football/soccer/baseball/whatever, you would call it the $SPORT field if it is on grass. If it is on a hard surface like basketball or tennis, you would say court. Stadium is for large structures with several thousand+ of spectators, and again the proper names are inconsistent, but stadium as a general term works.
Hopefully this helps. American English is all sorts of ambiguous and inconsistent. One positive is it is nice not having gendered nouns and it is forgiving enough that even with grammar errors, a native speaker will know what you mean, like the plural of cow is sometimes cattle when you used as an adjective “cattle farm”. Nobody would be confused if you said “cows farm”, but along with the inevitable accent, it would be a tell that you aren’t a native speaker
I know this will vary a lot, so hypothetically let’s say you currently WFH/work remotely at least 3 days a week. Your commute to work takes an hour max (door to door) each way. If you were given the choice of a 4 day week working onsite, or a 5 day week WFH (or as many days as you’d like) for the same pay, which would you...
After doing WFH for several years, I’ll only take a job on site as a last resort or for like double my pay. Then I would cut my time until FIRE roughly in half. I don’t hate doing work. I hate having a huge chunk of my time taken up by having to work 40 hours.
If work weeks were cut to 24 or even 32 hours, I might even reconsider the FIRE path.
I don’t disagree with drivers paying damages, but I see laws like this as whack-a-mole with symptoms of the problem of car dependency. Bars and restaurants serving alcohol with car dependent design is just a bad idea. No amount of laws is going to prevent drunk drivers from killing people as long as they remain the only way to get to or from places people consume alcohol.
Bike infrastructure needs physical separation. Bollards separating lanes at minimum. The average Joe would be financially WAY better off just renting trucks when they need one.
The fact that self driving cars exist is an admission that driving a car can really suck. Navigating busy suburbs and cities in a car is a stressful experience, especially when people are commuting to or from work....
You are correct about suburbia. There are also typically no sidewalks and minimal shoulders, so even if you live within walking or biking distance of places, it is dangerous to not drive there.
In the US, some of this stems from racism. I don’t feel like getting into the history of it, but if you are interested, red lining, restrictive covenants, and using the cost of car dependency as a racial filter are good starters. Basically, the US suburb situation came about partially due to racism, and partially due to hostile takeover of transportation infrastructure and PR campaigns by corporations.
