I don't know, I mean an uproar over someone doing something responsible in getting rid of a pet is pretty stupid. You can say all you want, "oh no it ate something boo hoo" but that could have been the wake up call showing them they were not able to or willing to dedicate the time to properly care for the dog.

Maybe the passports were the latest thing and they realized it was their fault they were eaten, cue the soul searching and decision to put it up for adoption.

Seems a lot better and far less controversial then shooting it.

As Kongar said, I agree, the new car is an suv. Which... Is by and large not great, but also what's an SUV now?

When I was a kid by parents had one of the original Nissan Pathfinders. The one with the spare wheel that swung away, definitely 4wd, and so forth. OJ Simpson ran from the cops in a white Bronco.

Those were SUVs. Today's monster Expeditions and Suburbans are SUVs.

At introduction, the Subaru Outback was a station wagon. Now... It's an SUV? I have a 2022. No, it's not small, but I have a kid and we use the trunk space and the awd all the time. Winter sucks here, and there are dirt roads. But to me it's a car. But on paper it's an SUV.

I am sure there's a real distinction, but... Next to a Tahoe or a Grand Cherokee it is absulotely not an SUV. It's a car with awd and a beefy-ish suspension.

No, I can't. Fucking... Is banana pudding a euphemism for something or has reddit gotten that awful??

No.

I am a good person with a capacity for kindness. The difference? It's not reflex.

Nice is the guy waving you through at a stop sign when it's their turn. Sure there's good intention, but seriously? No.

That was a wild ride!

Guitar is the only hobby I acquired that never took. I wanted it to take, but did not have the funds to pursue lessons.

I could not get over the beginner hurdles of how to strum, how to really hold the pick, and so forth. If I could have taken lessons or gotten past that I might have learned and still be playing today instead of seeing the case just sitting there collecting dust.

GrapheneOS supports recent Pixels. I think right now they are supporting the 5a and later, with legacy and extended support back to the 4.

Not intentionally.

I like this a lot. I would add, in case it's not obvious, to be ready to assert control once they are on the defensive. Otherwise, it becomes a situation of the pigs beating you with experience fighting in the mud.

So I am completely out of the loop but intrigued. Beyond reading the about tab, which I have, what sets KaOS apart from another Linux distro running Plasma? Thanks.

Affiliated means close formal or informal association. I think 1% of funding and no government appointed people really doesn't rise to that standard.

I have an ecotank too. No BS subscription shenanigans, painless to get it working. What impresses me is the lack of it breaking if it sits even months between uses, usually not even needing to be cleaned.
