Might check out distrowatch. Just note that popularity for them just means how many times had that entry been looked up.

Off-hand? Algorithm driven social media, “news” media generally, politicians, family/kids. The last is at least usually tolerable, or at least correctable. The rest should be taken only in moderation with a mound full of salt.

Last I heard (several months ago, admittedly), Russia had stopped sharing the data needed to validate their economic reports. As a result I immediately distrust anyone saying anything definitive (up or down) about Russia’s economy.

Additionally, this is the first I’ve heard of either site you’ve linked to, so I call bullshit. This doesn’t fully track and can’t be verified.

Check the data sheet or user manual for your equipment or battery, but generally batteries should be stored indoors at a human comfortable temp and humidity.

Here’s the manual for mine, but yours may differ:

Ryobi really needs a better URL for their manuals to be stored at. If the direct link to the file sketches you out, for the moment at least this, this link will lead to the same file:

The Ocean's 11 (2001) comes to mind as does a couple of episodes of West Wing that had scenes with card games.

Yes.

Seriously, we should be doing both as long term space habitats can serve as a way to reduce the cost of moving cargo around.

I rather like !hfy@lemmy.world . HFY short stories. Sadly not very busy but the stories have been great.

That was a good yarn. Feels incomplete though, like it’s only the first act of much longer tale. Not sure why you have so many downvotes. Thanks for posting!

I suspect the fact that I had to think a minute before I could name a recently released western cartoon that wasn't Disney or aimed at the under 6 crowd may have something to do with it.

Sadly Saturday Morning cartoons just aren't a thing anymore in the US.

As for comics, when was the last time you saw a comic at a grocery store or gas station? I know Marvel still makes comics but I haven't seen them in a store in almost 30 years.

Japan likes their anime and manga so there's a lot of variety, but for whatever reason our corporate overlords here in America decided that we didn't want our equivalent anymore.

Most of a tractor-trailer's stopping power is split between the trailer brakes and the tractor's drive tandems. If there is not enough weight on those axles, the tires can't grip the pavement properly. If I apply too much power to the brakes the wheels can start bouncing or just lock up and start skidding if the ABS system is acting up.

Most tractor-trailers you see on the road in the US are designed to weigh 60,000 to 80,000 lbs (~ 27,000 - 36,000 kg). For comparison, a Honda Civic weighs roughly 3,000 lbs (1360 kg). Every system on the truck is designed around moving that amount of mass safely. With an empty dry van trailer your looking at closer to 30,000 lbs (~ 13,000 kg). Makes a difference in performance. Ride is rougher, takes longer to stop.

I’m a truck driver.

• You are far safer behind me than in front of me. It can take me over two US football fields (200 yards or roughly 180 meters) to come to a full stop and it takes more distance if my trailer is empty. The average car can stop in half that distance. Most cars turn into tin cans when hit by a rig at 25 mph.
• If you see a number of trucks all moving into the same lane, might consider getting in the same lane, behind us. Odds are pretty good we either saw something in the lane ahead or we heard about something over the CB.
• I can see you playing on your phone while driving. Cops in some states have been known to hitch rides with truck drivers in order to catch distracted drivers.
• Learn zipper merging!
