Playing the original hot pursuit on my friend's family's Gateway PC, is a true core memory.

The spirit continued with Burnout 2 & 3 before ultimately dying. Racing games need to focus more on destruction and less on licensing real world cars.

To be fair, that's also how I would describe confluence.

Like sure, but that feels beyond the scope of a bed making discussion.

What highly sought after goods?

I don't doubt that their predatory financial institutions claim to own that much of the economy, but what do they actually produce?

As far as I can tell all they produce is too big companies that expand globally and send profits back home.

Real talk: why does everyone care so much about trade with the US?

Can the EU, plus AUS / CAN / NZ / UK, plus non-China South-East Asia, really not replace the US and it's great output of .... predatory financial institutions?

Fatal counter point to all your arguments:

It feels better when you do.

Literally none of your logical arguments matter one iota because the human brain does not care how much you logic an argument. It feels nicer and more comforting climbing into a made bed then an unmade one.

Also, lying on wrinkly sheets is inherently uncomfortable.

Stop living in a dumbass fucking filter bubble.

Blocking is for people who are abusive, not people who coherently express a point slightly different then the one you made.

And they are literally unquestionably and objectively right. Literally every single tool ever created was made to reduce the amount of labour it takes to do a task, which reduces the value of human labour. It's called automation. Read Karl Marx if you think you're such a leftist, he'll explain it you.

Quite frankly, no this isn't the case, largely because you've conflating language and framework.

Javascript is a language, Typescript is a language, React is a library for tracking and updating a component tree, React Web is a library for rendering React components to HTML, external services like a CMS are external services.

None of those are frameworks, and as such are not designed to give you a single easy point of failure as you develop with them. Something like Angular or Next.js is a framework, and does provide the development experience you're looking for.

Similarly, C# is a language, .NET is framework. Java is a language, Spring is a framework. If you want a simple out of the box development experience, use a framework, if you have complex custom needs then combine the language and the various framework components that you need into your own framework.

On the Voyager app you can see that it wasn't edited at all.

That really does not matter. Spend some time camping with no phones and notice how differently you feel and behave. Humans did not evolve to have smartphones and social media, it triggers numerous emotional responses without actually satisfying them, by its inherent nature.

Social media. You use it up spending time on Reddit and Lemmy etc.

 

Business owners on Bathurst are running an astroturf campaign using AI generated videos of fake people to try and stop on-street parking being turned into dedicated transit lanes.

They claim they just want their voices heard, when in reality they're upset that others' collective voices are louder than theirs. They also make nonsense statements like it shouldn't be trade-off, when it inherently is since there is limited street space on Bathurst.

The owners of Summerhill Market seem affiliated with the group but are trying to pretend they're not, and the owner of Minerva Cannabis appears to be one of the leaders of the group, and decision makers behind the AI videos.

Don't buy those crappy plastic bag-clips to hold chip bags, flour bags, etc closed. They're unsatisfying, they wear out and bend, and they just add more plastic pollution to the world.

Instead buy more binder clips. They're made from spring steel, they're strong as hell, they almost never wear out, they can be used to close bags, as small clamps, as hangers for almost anything in a pinch, and they're amazing for building pillow / blanket forts.

I have some from my grandma that she bought 30 years ago and they work just as well as the ones I bought a year ago. The only risk with them ever is rust, and you can just scrub that off with vinegar, add a brush of paint and it's fixed.

Truly some of my favourite robust little items.

 

I can't be the only reddit migrant who often instinctually goes to a given community by typing /r/community, only to be 404d. If the /r/ path isn't being used for anything else, is it possible to have it dynamically redirect to /c/ instead?

 

The federal New Democrats backed Conservative demands Wednesday that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau take part in a televised "emergency meeting" on carbon pricing with Canada's premiers.

The federal carbon price is not the "be-all, end-all" of climate policy, and New Democrats are open to alternative plans presented by premiers, NDP environment critic Laurel Collins said Wednesday.
