LOL @ Los Angeles. I love LA, but yeah it’s not cheap. At least they have finally started building rail again. It will be navigable for future generations hopefully. If it hasn’t burned to the ground or been swallowed by the earth 🤙

I guess this clears up which came first: the chicken or the egg.

In Alabama there are only chickens.

Luigi’s Mansion is now Available on Nintendo GameCube

I seem to recall this game was originally released on the Nintendo GameCube

Except Windows doesn’t. You can send WM_CLOSE, but that may not actually bail out of the core loop. PostQuitMessage() works better for some apps, but not at all for windowless CONSOLE subsystem processes. Windows also has a lot of special behavior around generating signals in other processes. It’s a mess.

Like, every time I reboot the reboot UI complains about mysterious, unnamed processes that take suspiciously long to quit.

Having the kernel yank the process out of existence with prejudice is definitely the way to go as apps should be hardened for crashing, anyway.

Grave of the Fireflies

I’ve had this idea kicking around in my head for a few years: Christian Chicken Offset Charity. It would be an app that would notify you “You appear to be patronizng a bigoted establishment, do you wish to make a $1 donation to Charity X to offset?”

Could work for Hobby Lobby, In ‘n Out, etc, too.

That’s an amazing skill to separate the comedy from the opinion, or do you agree with his opinions, too?

Nobody, practically, asks to “adopt their thinking”. It’s implicit by taking a public pulpit like this. One doesn’t get on stage unless they want to be heard. He isn’t a victim of his own success. Humor is a completely viable path to social and political commentary.

You don’t have to ask because people by and large don’t choose their beliefs. They are mostly indoctrinated into them via rationalization of inherent biases and other environmental factors. How many Muslims are born into FLDS households in Utah?

Overt bigotry and marginalization gives cover to viewers’ rationalization that it’s okay to have thoughts of discrimination against outgroups.

I don’t disagree, but:

• People are weak when it comes to comfort food
• Having this would create dialog about the problem at hand
• Propping up a successful charity like this might cause corporate to question its policy, whereas a boycott results in hard to measure fiscal impact.

KRAZAM killing it yet again.

I have a Fairphone 6 with /e/os and it was great until I found out it has no RCS support, and every time someone with real Android or iOS sends a group text you get nothing and they don’t know you didn’t get it. For it to be workable you have to go around begging your friend to turn off RCS on their end and good luck with that.

The site is cancerous on mobile. Also the article is poorly written:

Note that popular models, like the Bronco, Corolla Cross, and Civic, from the 2023 model year maintain a defiant pricing of around 10% of their 2025 counterparts, an impressive resilience considering that a 3-year-old car should’ve shed around 40% of its value by now.

10% of their 2025 counterparts is a tenth the cost, but not what they mean.

I thought 8:46 was brilliant but it’s not what we are talking about in this post.

Now we get to learn if honey actually goes bad

Great!

Now bring the ID.3 GTX to the states, please!

Thanks! Picked it up for face value. Been wanting these DRM free for my Kobo and I love WCK.

Another great version of this track https://youtu.be/zhvsP_FPiiU

Sonnet is pretty much an idiot, though.
