This idea comes out of the woodwork ever time RAM gets expensive.

Pshaw! Who needs zram when you could use RAM Doubler(tm)?

Universities in other states need to loudly proclaim they will not accept Florida high school graduates fed this horseshit. "Does not meet prerequisites for higher education." You want to be Confederate Jesusland? Fine, but there's a cost. Employers need to do the same thing.

"You've got a friend in me..."

That entire block that says "ethanol" is corn, plus that entire block that says corn syrup, and a good chunk of that block that says "livestock feed". It's a lot of corn.

...The sort of grill I will never buy.

Pretty sure this is just natural selection in action. Unfit mates are less desirable. This has less to do with political polarization and more to do with fundamentally unfit partners.

In the suburbs of a middle-sized city in Ohio, USA. So midwest, but a bit older, higher-density, and more northeastern suburban layout than, say, Iowa. Built up in the 1960s-70s. Almost all single-family suburban homes on large lots.

(these are walking distances, not straight lines)

• To the nearest convenience store: 1.6 km
• To the nearest chain supermarket: 4.2 km
• To the bus stop: 1.5 km
• To the nearest park: 226 meters
• To the nearest big supermarket: 2.1 km
• To the nearest library: 2.6 km
• To the nearest train station: Hahaha! (Ok, it's actually 78 km, but it's mostly worthless as a train station)

Straight-line distance to Big Ben: 6297 km

Big hospitals still have them to send medications and random lightweight stuff around the complex. My wife has worked in two large hospitals that had pretty extensive tube systems, used especially with pharmacy.

I have the "Complete Collection" box set, and I broke my 10 year-old son's heart when, after he finished the whole thing, I had to tell him that there were no more. I think they made him a better kid.

I mean, I think it started as a BSD fork with a Linux kernel jammed in so... you're not far off.

MySpace isn't dead yet!

The state of Florida. They don't need my tourist dollars right now. When they can figure out state government again, I'll consider spending my money there. They have no shortage of tourists, but I know it's not my money propping up that insanity.

SomaFM has been up a remarkable number of years, more or less in its current format. It's not everyone's jam, but props to them to keep a good thing going.

I mean, they do have a voting block that regularly donates to televangelists... Those extra private jets have to come from somewhere.

One caution on older Surface Pros: They are generally not serviceable, and when the batteries eventually go, you will have to replace the device. The 9th gen and later may be better. I am dealing with this right now in a 2017/5th gen Surface Pro. While it's nice hardware (as a user), apparently the battery is glued-in in such a way that you cannot replace it without destroying the tablet. I'm currently looking to replace it with either a Lenovo ThinkPad X12 detachable or a Dell Latitude 7320 detachable, both of which are similar but (purportedly) much more repairable.

The roads go to absolute shit crossing from Ohio into Indiana. And it's not like we have exactly great roads here...

It's kind of hidden. Tap the 3 lines in the top-left corner, then pick with with "Local" or "All" and there should be an option in there to pick an instance and enter your login/pass.

Dude, you live in Italy, the food is amazing! That said, after a two week trip to Italy, my wife is a much better cook of Italian food now. ...In America.

South America has a ton of hydroelectric capacity.
