We have an ID.3 and a 2012 Audi A5 Cabrio. I love my Cabrio. I would drive it all day if I could. It’s just so much fun.

The ID.3 is a tool. An appliance. There’s… No joy. Because of the empty-ness, because of the flat screens, because I’m being monitored by Volkswagen and I cannot turn that off.

If they could marry the fun and privacy of the Cabrio with the sheer “better-ness” of the ID.3… then I would be set :-)

Yeah, first response to the title was: “yeah, we know”

Ah yes the old “Mike Johnson speaker of the house defense” of claiming you know nothing about it.

Let’s see how this plays out for him…

What a weird person. It’s what the media would call a disturbed or unwell person. But this is just… Weird.

In just glad it happened relatively soon. Should have happened sooner :-)

How many bees would it have been of this would have been a “full” crash I wonder…

I have Actual Intelligence and Google has Anti Intelligence in their stuff now.

Hahaha, I can see it not being everyone’s cup o tea :-)

But my god did I like the writing and the levels upon levels of meaning crammed in there…

From what I understand, they truly do mean to make the lowest possible content money can buy, cram full of “fan recognizable moments” to make the most amount of money out of it as possible.

As in, that’s the goal, on purpose. Not as a “unintended side effect of us just being inept at making anything these days”. But just being VERY good at squeezing money from brands like Star Wars.

Just turning out slop. Easy. Comfy. Low content slop. And then sell stuffed Grogu’s. Andor was a fluke because the director was able to make something out of nothing. Without ever touching so much as “the force” or even a lightsaber!

We need more of that director.

As a European I visited the USA a couple of times in the past. (NEVER when that traitorous malevolent megalomaniacal mango mussolini was in charge), I always noticed the sheer amount of seriously lacking drivers. Or poorly maintained cars (and roads).

What’s up with that? How can you let such incredulously bad drivers loose on the road?

Perhaps (and I know I might be weird) running pangolin on something like hetzner? (Which I do)

“Microsoft sets the specs of the laptops. Nothing we can do.”

Then… Send them physically to Microsoft service Center?

I’m a freelance linux it nerd. I figured I better get used to vim/nvim because every company I visited had different tooling available but their servers ALWAYS had vim.

Now I have a nice .vim setup I can easily copy/paste and work easily and fast. I’ve become quite adept in the years following that decision.

Plus, as a freelance dude using vim quickly and flying through code bases makes it really seem like I know what I’m doing / hacker type … I don’t. And I’m no hacker… But the customer is happy soooo :-)

P.s. I’m currently trying out the Zed editor with vim bindings. They are emaculate!

Metric system, euro and driving on the other side of the road. Do those things so we know you are serious and we will happily accept you back in the fold.

Point I always make to people who do not believe this: it does not matter if he officially works for him or not…

Result is the exact same. He’s just not getting paid for it by Putin. Soooo… bad deal… :-)

This is getting ridiculous, and untenable . Close them down!

Or twelve one year olds. He sometimes uses “different counting methods” I’ve been told.

Mamdani is choosing the lesser evil here my dear rich person… The other options is: we kill you.

Only a cuck, drives a truck.

Something like that?

When a president stops following the law, the army should automatically remove the entire cabinet and hold new elections.

It’s clearly illegitimate if it does not want to follow the law.
