Funny you compare fire arms to cars, because I believe that both fit in the category of “things your average person should not have in public”. I want more regulation on guns AND cars.

And just because nitrous mods are illegal, doesn’t make your average car any safer.

Unlike the rest of the rifle. Which is perfectly safe.

Don’t have to worry about OEMs shipping insecure code and never patching it when I can write my own insecure code and never patch it.

Very acute

if you “own” a piece of land in the middle of the planned rail route, the Government will just kick you out.

That’s how the interstate system and urban highways were built. But people being displaced were mostly black and/or poor and/or immigrants, so it wasn’t seen as a bad thing at the time.

The first public electric tramway used for permanent service was the Gross-Lichterfelde tramway in Lichterfelde near Berlin in Germany, which opened in 1881.

So if your city shut down its streetcars in 1951, like mine did, then what you said is true. If you city had streetcars in 1953 or beyond, its not. Not to be too pedantic about it.

My point is that is less than 1 human lifespan. There are people that rode the streetcars in my city when they were kids that still live here. Its not ancient history, its living memory.

Oil companies literally killed electric trolleys wayyyyyyyyyyyy back in the day.

In most cities, this happens around the 1950s. So not that long ago, if you think about it.

Amtrak: “At least we’re not VIA Rail.”

There are no medieval equivalents to YouTube channels, since YouTube wasn’t invented for at least a decade after the medieval period.

That’s a lot to keep in your head just to maintain a lifestyle.

I heard speed has something to do with it.

What’s a power bottom?

Is being a top reserved for bears?

I have a case on my Pixel 8 only because I don’t like how sharp the edges are around the screen and on the camera bar.

Should the role of government be to say:

Sorry, corporations, you’re going to have to pay your fair share of taxes so our citizens aren’t dying in the streets

Or

Sorry, peasents, you’re going to have to die in the streets so that corporations can continue to make record profits

I tend to think it should be the former. As a Canadian, we have a federal election coming up and it sucks that there is no (relevant) political party that shares my opinion.

You copy some text from a webpage and put it in your markdown/LaTeX document in your text editor, like vim. Then you use pandoc/pdf-latex to export in whatever file format you need. It never looks wonky, it looks exactly like you tell it to.

Is this something I’m too markdown/LaTeX pilled to understand?

Strubb’s pickles. They are supposed to be back under a new owner, but I still can’t find them in any local grocery store.
