The solution to the space elevator was sitting there the whole time.

Why are my neighbors mad? They have all the mint they could want now.

I believe that goes through the Road of Bones in Siberia. From what I saw of Long Way Round (where Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman ride around the world on motorcycles), it’s not really a road much of the year. You wouldn’t want to walk it in the winter for obvious reasons. You also wouldn’t want to walk it in the warmer seasons, because the snow melts and floods the road.

It’s only a road in the sense that Google Maps marks it as one.

The documentary simply couldn’t continue on the planned route, and they hucked it over to Alaska early on. That was after putting up with some shit ass mud in and around Mongolia where they were dropping their bikes every 10 feet (and I am not exaggerating).

You don’t fight racism by ignoring it. Being out there in a frank manner is a precondition to fixing it.

At some point, people need to realize that children won’t become serial muderers just because they saw a boob.

The current Maverick is not a small truck. It just says that on a label somewhere.

I know some people who actually use their pickup truck and wish they could get something smaller. It doesn’t exist anymore in the US.

It’s not even the often remarked “chicken tax”. That only prevents small trucks from foreign factories being imported in without a big extra cost attached. Factories in Canada and Mexico, via NAFTA, have been long exempt. US automakers have been free to make whatever small truck they want.

I am eyeing the Telo. I hope that works out.

It was starting to change under Biden, but Trump put tariffs on importing math.

Men only want one thing, and it’s an Astraeus Super-heavy Tank.

Tammy Baldwin is my dem senator. She’s might be more of a Hillary Clinton Democrat than Hillary Clinton, but I called.

Incidently, the caller ID on her DC office line still lists Herb Kohl. He left the office over a decade ago, and died a little over a year ago.

We have a situation. A situation that calls for anarchism panties.

Or, like, white Americans adopting any other culture from black Americans.

I’ve been eyeing FastMail.

Self hosting is almost impossible with email these days. Places like Gmail and Outlook are going to consider you automatically suspicious until you’ve proven otherwise. Can’t prove otherwise until you have a lot of legit email going through. The only way to do that is to attach the domain to a service that’s already proven.

This isn’t even getting into the configuration issues of running an email server without it becoming a spam relay as soon as it’s turned on.

I guess it could be like beer cheese soup? When beer cheese soup is good, it’s really good. But you wouldn’t use an IPA for that. Usually use a pilsner.

Face makeup is too evenly applied.

What if it’s on the end of a really long stick?

Thank you for your service.

The argument for the lack of it is that pixel trackers could be used to break privacy.

This shows that the Gemini devs didn’t know what they were doing. You can track people by parsing your server logs if you want. You don’t need a pixel tracker to do that. Limiting images to local server links only would have done the job.

Rather than Gemini, we should make some kind of web site certification for no cookies, no JavaScript, and no external images. Maybe have a browser plugin that gives a checkmark on the tab when you’re on a complying site.

It’s OK to advocate violence against LLMs.
