I’ll check out swastika night! Thanks for the reco.
Another one you might like is Jack London Iron Heel. Yes, that Jack London. When we talked about white fang in school, we seemed to conveniently gloss over his very strong socialist leanings.
Iron heel has a fair amount of preaching in it, but the story is also a really good one. I’ve been recommending that one to folks (especially left leaning)
Anything by Le Guin is soo good! Dispossessed is a particularly good one though. I read Lathe of Heaven earlier this year, and that was a fun ride.
I put this in a comment below, but if you liked 1984 (I love dystopias!) it’s worth reading “We” if you haven’t. Orwell denies using this as inspiration, but We was clearly the precursor to 1984.
I’ve just starting getting into a bit of russian/eastern europe scifi. “We” by Yevgeny Zamyatin is incredible if you haven’t read it. It is clearly the main inspiration for 1984, but just so much better. Then, just about any book by Stanislaw Lem is great. Solaris is probably the easiest to find and a pretty good more hard-ish sci-fi book, but I gotta recommend “Futurological Congress”. It’s hilarious! Reads like a Douglas Adams book, with an interesting idea at its core. So I think those are my most recent “favorite” books for the moment.
I can’t read the whole article, but the part about shifting mindsets quickly is not only a part of business schools. I think the articles point is that the elite class is educated at business schools, and this pushes a particular mindset.
Cech has a very good study about engineering schools having a “culture of disengagement” and essentially it is a discipline captured by capital as well.

Any ideas on how to rectify this?
Sounds like the LEDs are doing a great job of that already
I know what you’re saying, but also macOS is actually a certified Unix. So not really a “middle” ground towards Unix.
This is part of it. Constitutionally, the governor can only appoint for state offices, but there was historical precedent for the governor to appoint federal offices. And you are right that the state had passed some laws requiring a special election, but it also had some crazy length like 56-days required between the call and the election taking place to let all counties be notified. (As best I can remember reading. It’s all a bit of a mess.)
The more annoying thing is the two rulebooks. McConnell has tended to make up his own rules (and justify them with legalese) and ignore the ones he doesn’t like. Beshear is trying to play by the rules, and not recognizing the actual power shifts that have happened. And so, here we sit in sending-angry-letter mode for the time being.

A while ago jacobin had some stats showing how often she would mention Medicare for all, and it decreases by a lot as time went on
waits 3 minutes to read this comment condescendingly in emacs with some really sweet customizations
What a strange take. I get that being interrupted with a phone does cause a context switch, but so would coming in and ordering. Or picking up pizzas to deliver. And also, for me I just think of answering the phone as part of the job at a pizza joint. So many memories of sitting in lobbies waiting hearing the constant “hello papa johns” drone on. I do concede I’m old though.
Following your logic, we should also only eat non processed meat and vegetables. Goodbye Kraft Mac and cheese, sodas, etc. Because compounds.
Breast is best except when it isn’t. (Supply issues come into play, some babies don’t latch, soreness, etc can all happen). Fed is always going to be best and you do what you can. We had three with all different experiences. No differences we can tell years later.
I’m assuming you of course are aware, but that is a tasting note. As in hersheys will specifically call out that tasting note as intentional if you do a tasting tour. It explained why I only ever liked their special dark and hates their regular bar.
They used to years ago, but the one they supply is ancient and doesn’t really work anymore.
I have to use acrobat for some work stuff (it is the only pdf reader I can find that lets you do highlights, add notes, and use custom stamps. I’ve tried a ton of open source options and they are all surprisingly missing some subset of those features). I use playonlinux and there is an older acrobat version from there that works. I can look to see what my desktop shortcut is later.
… time passes …
Yep, mine works as you are wanting. It’s acrobat dc and it’s from a 2016 version. It’s fairly stable to run, but will freeze out if the blue every now and then. So save often.
The exec piece is:
<path>/playonlinux —run “Adobe Acrobat Reader DC” %F
Maybe this can lead you down a path that works. There is a web version of some adobe tools but I found them to be pretty bad when I tried them.
The US shifted from agriculture to a manufacturing economy during then industrial revolution. Then as manufacturing moved globally, US shifted to information economy. I think the big question is: what’s next? Because the answer seems to be not much, and aiming to keep the status quo going is going to really harm US economy.
We noticed this when we went to a Texas Roadhouse. Their restaurant prices for steaks hadn’t gone up hardly at all and seemed very surprisingly reasonable, whole beef at the grocer is painful.
In the south it’s also more common to either not have a garage at all or have a carport instead of an enclosed garage. It’s just easier to leave your car or vehicle (tractor) out anyway. Combine that with, I need to sell this or work on it at some point, you park it in your yard and will get around to it someday. Or maybe your cousin might need it one day so you’ll keep it. It’s a bit of an ingrained impoverished idea that you “might need it someday” attitude.
I’m also staying with family that are regularly using tractors pushing 60? 70? Years. I’m not even sure how old they are, but it takes a bunch of parts and pieces to keep these things running. Luckily here though the scraps are either off in a barn or not directly in between the house and the street.
Ha! Yeah, that’s too great to change :)
The internet was also a place you went to, and you could actually turn it off or walk away from. Now it’s everywhere and stitched into our entire lives.
