Israel’s been calling it a “selfie yacht” like people really take an Instagram vacation to a fucking war zone where the entire population is starving and children are slaughtered en masse.
Israel’s approval rate in Europe is 20% and falling. People are finally waking up to who the modern Nazis are.
You’re right. Imagining that Israel would ever comply with international law or abandon its long-term goal of colonizing the entire region is indeed a crazy thought.
That’s great to hear! I was actually living in Somerville when I did that Japan trip. The extension of the bike path and really that whole rails-to-trails project were wonderful for the community. We need more projects like that - glad to hear the cape is getting some.
The project actually still hasn’t started due to ongoing litigation and budget constraints. It did get redesigned with more bike infrastructure and pedestrian bridges to cross the freeway, but local bike and pro-transit groups still oppose the project.
One of the main arguments is that the state’s proposal is not consistent with the city’s regional plan, which says that the interstate can only be expanded if congestion pricing is also implemented to discourage additional traffic.
At this point, the state is planning to fix up some bridges while the rest of the legal fight plays out. Expansion probably won’t start until 2028 in any case… at which point this song will be an “oldie.”
There was a guy who took his guitar before the Portland City Council and sang a song about induced demand. If you build more lanes, more drivers will come and fill them.
I once had the pleasure of cycling the Shimanami Kaido in Japan, a bike route that connects the islands of Honshu and Shikoku, hopping between all these minor islands on the way over suspension bridges carrying the main highway.
The bike lane is protected the whole time. In one case, the bike route is actually below the deck of the bridge, and you’re on a fenced-in catwalk hundreds of feet over the channel between the islands. Views for miles over Osaka bay.
Honestly, when I look back at my life, it’s probably my favorite thing I’ve ever done. If only the U.S. invested in bike infrastructure like that.
Did this show get any better?
Apparently, the source material is supposed to be good. I gave it three episodes but was pretty disappointed by the animation quality and pacing.
Wondering if anyone who stuck with it thinks it’s worth it.
There are enough fan boys still salivating over the fascist prick that it doesn’t necessarily have to be him.
Also I’m not sure Lemmy has a large enough audience to satiate his endless need for external validation.
Surely you could manage two middle fingers as long as you’re not in a sharp turn!
Trump’s term is four years, and he ain’t getting any better.
The point is probably that Trump’s influence has led to conservative losses in two recent elections (Canada and Australia) and arguably contributed to the AfD loss in Germany, so hopefully New Zealand goes the same way.
Apparently, January was before they identified some of the production issues that led to recalls and so on. And also that Tesla has done a bad job with the recalls so even the “fixed” ones have misaligned panels and so forth.
Why anyone still has any interest at all in buying this piece of shit eludes me.
Because it’s something the EU wanted and didn’t get in the last round. It’ll be funny if Trump accepts because it basically concedes that his negotiating position is weaker than it was eight years ago.
I’m with you though. I think a united front from all the countries where Trump imposed tariffs would be more effective at nipping this nonsense in the bud. And I think countries are shortsighted if they don’t recognize that the U.S. is becoming a fundamentally unreliable negotiating partner and their approach to negotiating with the U.S. should reflect that.
Can I ask what distro you’re running? Some of the gaming-focused ones like Bazzite still seem to gather some comments about working better with AMD, though it seems like there are some workarounds. I am resolved to leave Microsoft behind completely at the W11 switch so I’m trying to get my bearings!
Can you elaborate on the incompatibility of the newest GPUs? It looks like Nvidia publishes a Linux driver for the Blackwell series and there are a number of AI applications (like supporting Triton and pysam-based methods) which seem harder to get working on Windows than on Linux.
I’m considering switching over but I hear mixed things about Nvidia support. Some people seem to say it’s a pain to get the drivers working and others seem to think that’s an issue that’s been resolved. Not sure what to think in terms of how difficult the switch would be.
Based Tesla makes a car that vandalizes itself
The Onion has its work cut out for it when there’s a literal bill in Congress to annex Greenland and change its name to Red, White and Blueland.
Their point is that it’s redundant. You could say ex-WoW developer, you could say WoW vet, but you don’t need both.
Still has 96% recent and 96% overall positive reviews and an “overwhelmingly positive” overall rating.
I don’t think they’re making much of a dent. The article is pretty unclear though on why Chinese gamers are mad, other than that there was a possible “dodgy translation.”
Factorial means n! = (n)(n-1)(n-2)… etc. down to 1, where n is a positive integer. It’s used to calculate the different number of configurations of a set of elements, mainly in combinatorics.
Like if you have four different objects and you want to know how many different configurations you can order them in, you have four choices for the first object, then three for the second, then two for the third, then one for the final slot. So the answer is 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 24 = 4!.
