Hopefully I did that right...

Shouldn't the free market force pay to increase, thereby drawing more adults to the area?

Yeah those are great until you have to clean them because the cat missed. I still use them, because it's better than the floor, and basically any mat has some type of issues.

Where was I refusing to understand its quirks? After several years of using snap-based Firefox, I came to the conclusion that I didn't like the snap based installation of firefox. So, I followed the directions to go back to a deb-based Firefox installation. But Kubuntu "helpfully" reverted it a few months later, and that cycle repeated a few times.

I specifically requested the deb-based installation and it ignored my wishes. I know what operating system that reminds me of, and it isn't Linux.

I'm sure someone will tell me I'm wrong for wanting a .deb-based Firefox and that snaps are better anyway. Even if that's true (I don't care to argue), I chose a path and Kubuntu overrode my choice. Silently, too.

I'll also note that I started using Kubuntu back in 2008 or so, and stopped last year. I used it on both my desktop and laptop machines. So, it wasn't like I just tried it for a few hours and got upset; I was a long time user that was quite familiar with how it worked. For most of that time, I was really happy with Kubuntu, but having it override my explicit configuration was extremely frustrating.

Others can continue to use it, that's fine with me. This isn't a personal attack on anyone's choices.

Yeah. That's my favorite movie, so this comic played right into it.

You're missing the point. That compromised xz made it into some production distributions. The point here is that shit can happen to Linux, too.

Great question - during the pandemic there were a lot of memes about how dogs are loving the humans being home all day, while cats were hating it. Our cats were glad to have us home all day (as was the dog, who kept demanding walks at odd times until he settled into the new routine).

When we get home from errands, the dog will of course be at the door - and there's about a 85% chance the one cat will be nearby, too. Another cat will often show up as well. (The third cat, never. He's too busy hiding.)

The Post had two op-ed pieces on the same page. One writer said that Obama was just another neoliberal hack who’d push a softer version of GOP plans and the voters should just opt for McCain. The other said that Obama was a hard Left radical who would about an extremist agenda.

It's choose your own hatred adventure!

And the tunnels (I-895 and I-95) forbid things like propane, so if you have some of that, you're off to the west side of the Baltimore Beltway, which is already extremely busy. Good luck with that!

(Relatively local person here who travels around Baltimore frequently. I've used the bridge that collapsed on several occasions to avoid the tunnels while carrying propane.)

I've ranted about this before, but the lead pilot as a nurse is a bizarre management decision by Janeway. He has two critical jobs when shit hits the fan.

Looks like I picked the wrong day to stop looking at memes.

I knew a guy in college that would tell random, easily disprovable lies - he claimed he spent a summer with another guy in our dorm on the beach volleyball circuit, for example. (Other guy: "I haven't seen him since the spring.") He claimed he had enough AP credits to graduate after one semester but still spent 4 years getting his degree "for the college experience". Just random, insane shit like that.

He didn't look anything like George Santos, so I'm pretty sure it's not him.
