I am confused by people’s shopping habits. How often are you buying online and what is it?
Groceries and pharmacy are all local. Clothes are a local boutique (I don’t buy clothes more than one or twice a year and I like to try things on and buy quality items). Shoes are from a local redwing store that I’ve been wearing for over 8 years. Computer parts I do tend to buy online, but I’d never risk buying from Amazon. I typically buy from b&h, cdw, or directly from the manufacturer.

My spouse and I just use SO (esso) for significant other. I like it more than partner as it is explicitly a romantic or at least very important relationship.
High-frequency systems with shorter trains are often more effective at moving passengers quickly during peak hours, because the trains come more often, reducing platform overcrowding and wait times. For example, the Tokyo Metro system, despite having relatively shorter trains compared to New York, serves a much higher passenger volume because of its incredibly high frequency and reliability.
New York has some of the longest subways at 600ft (160 meters)
Next up is shanghai and Beijing.
Paris is 6th.
So we could go longer but maybe more frequent is better?
The problem is that Star Wars and Star Trek are two different genres. One is sci-fi and the other is fantasy set in space. There nothing wrong with either, but they are unrelated.
Love me some SEC shorts. An old friend makes these!
Lemmy and the fediverse is not about free speech and democratizing a platform, it is about eliminating central authority.
Lemmy.world can enforce whatever stupid rules they want on their instance and their communities. But none of that stops you from running your own instance and a community on your instance where you can enforce your rules.
I hope Vance starts off with some of his amazing jokes /s
If you’d like to understand the electoral college better, I highly recommend reading Heather Cox Richardson’s blog post this week. She is a historian that reflects on current events through the lens of history:

He said exactly what he feels:
If there is no heaven, what reason do I have to be good?
He literally just told us he does not have an innate sense of morality. He is only as good as he is because he is scared of hell.
Kahn is the most important person in government right now! Firing her would be a huge disappointment.
How does ERPnext compare to dolibarr?
NASA’s biggest issue over the last 35 years is that it became a political target. It is really hard to do long term design when your mission changes every 4 years along with a different budget. NASA should have a budget that is only reapproved every 30 years and should not have to worry about outside influence from a president dictating its mission.
It seems like it is time to nationalize Boeing.
I’ve given up on YouTube because of its terrible interface and just use tube archivist + Jellyfin.
I still play a lot of need for speed underground on my ps2.
I’ll also always love Carmageddon 2. So much fun and a soundtrack full of Iron Maiden!
Food is crazy. My wife went to jersey mikes and got a sandwich for herself. It came out to $17.50!
Better yet. Set up tube archivist or freshrss and just subscribe to decent channels. Ignore the horrible “algorithm” and stuff google wants you to watch.
