3,878 fuglytruks is the apparently the entire fleet. That is the really big story here. The fuglytruk is a flop. Nobody wants an 80k rust bucket.

I started out in the computer industry working for a company that reverse engineered and built IBM compatible terminal systems, This was more than 40 years ago, when that was its own large and profitable sector of the computer hardware market. It was absolutely legal to build 'plug compatible' reverse engineered third party systems. DRM is almost entirely horseshit that has helped turn the entire tech industry into silo'd enshittified monopolies.

Holy shit I thought this was only about Covid. These absolute idiots are breaking herd immunity for the entire field of virus based diseases.

'cancelled' is now simply "people were mean to me on shitter". Their right to express vile horseshit is obviously intact.

So about two weeks ago my 9-cup pot started failing. Instead of a nice rich flow, it did nothing until it started to boil, and then produced about 3 of it's 9 'cups' via a disgusting tasting over boiled sputtering mess.

I changed the filter. I cleaned the interior with a toothbrush. I blamed the beans. I blamed the grind. I was wrong every time. I was in despair. I youtubed.

TL;DW: use thread tape to correct the fit between the funnel and the top of the water container. Works great!

Lumping 'always' with 'sometimes' is cooking your results to meet your objective.

Good. Symbolic protests are a way to surface issues suppressed by the dominant ideology. If it gets any media coverage it is a success.

Approximately 50% of voters will vote for a political party that views any such reform as communism.

Sorry, no link to some ‘news’ article. /s

I’m a newcomer myself, but it seems my feed is just filled with low-effort news links with no other content. It’s c/mildlyinfuriating at this point. Maybe moderators outside of communities that are specifically for current events could require at least an effort by the op to add some of her own thoughts?

Mass transit should be free.

We are going to see the Return of Dred Scott as the fascist states go to the fascist supreme court and demand the right to enforce their fascist laws on their residents regardless of where the 'crime' occurred.
