Hope he wasn’t majoring in anything like math or biology.

Probably less than non-cyclists due to better health, so a net negative cost.

Ah, neat. I was wondering because I’ve got a second-gen and also notice when I see similar ones, just because they’re so old now (even for 4Runners) that a lot of them are no longer running. Sadly, that even includes mine at the moment, though I hope to fix it sooner or later.

Subaru WRX/STI owners leave each other little bottles of vape juice

What about Saab 9-2X owners?

That sort of thing actually does happen if your car is weird enough.

As the owner of several weird/fun cars + one “normal” one (a minivan), I can confirm. I’ve actually joined clubs and gone to driving events in the mountains and other meetups with people who’ve owned the same weird car as me, but would never think of seeking out a community of minivan enthusiasts.

What kind of 4Runner?

Grandpa Simpson’s car is significantly less fuel-efficient than the vehicle pictured.

And even if you don’t fuck it up, the creditor is profiting off you anyway because of the transaction fee they charged the vendor.

While Zip was the most successful of the Superfloppies, it was never ubiquitous.

…

The reason it vanished quickly was simple: Zip was never that good and CDRW was much better. As soon as the prices dropped for CDRW, Zip was a goner.

They all made the same mistake: trying to extract monopoly rents instead of becoming an open standard. Same reason why most of Sony’s bullshit over the years (betamax, minidisc, memory stick, etc.) failed, regardless of whether it was technologically “good” or not.

There could have been room in the market for a standardized superfloppy, but the companies making them relegated themselves to be niche by their greed well before CDRW finished them off.

(I owned a zip drive as a teenage computer nerd, BTW. Pretty sure I still have it in a box somewhere.)

This title is not accurate. The GPUs worked on Linux already, but only with AMD’s old proprietary RADEON driver. The news is that they are now supported by the Free Software AMDGPU driver.

Are my wife and I weird for each having our own set of keys that we keep with us at all times, as opposed to communal keys that we take only when we need them?

If I were going on a plane trip, I’d put my key in the car ignition and drive to the airport (because I’m the one who drives when my wife and I are together, out of habit), turn the car off, put my keys in my pocket, and then my wife would put her key in the ignition to drive home.

I mean, I was overstating my case a little bit. To be fair, Riker and Boimler are the only actual examples we have of it (at least by that particular method), and Rutherford’s bet was more about that sort of wacky situation being “a Boimler kind of thing to happen” (possibly paraphrased).

But you see, externalized profits don’t count. Externalities are for losses only.

They weren’t called the “me generation” for nothing!

Or having it taken to pay for medical care and whatnot if they don’t.

The direct answer to the question “Is Star Trek: Lower Decks canon?” is yes. And that’s because the creator — Mike McMahan — has said its canon, and the show actually bends over backwards to make canonical references.

So yeah, everything from the Pakled war to that stupid toy “SPOCK” helmet is canon now.

I know he’s the most important person in Starfleet history, but even so, I find it sus that he could do in two weeks what the starship designers couldn’t figure out at all with essentially unlimited time and resources. Surely their “miracle worker” engineers aren’t all in deep-space postings on starships or space stations, right?

Looks normal, right?

Nope! Chuck Testa Radioactive fireplace!

They also talked about deporting 100 million people. There aren’t that many non-citizens in the entire country.

So when RFK Jr says that every person who lost their insurance is illegal, what he means is that folks low enough on the socioeconomic ladder to have lost your insurance are being made illegal and will end up counted among that 100 million, even if you’re natural-born citizens. Defend yourselves accordingly.
