About as wide as my oversized fridge.

Can't wait to get rid of that shit and have something that actually fits in my kitchen.

That doesn't get you a good text editor. That just gets you emacs with two bad next editors.

Mostly the difference between PlayStation games and N64 games was whether they came with a bunch of CD-quality audio tracks.

Because they know by doing that they can both get engagement and someone else to find the best quality version for them.

My experience with Apple has been more like

[–] lengau@midwest.social 2 points 6 days ago

I credit Apple in many ways for their choice to design their business in a way that their profit motive often aligns with their users' interests.

Their app store model for iOS is one of the strongest examples of them not doing that though.

Cat people are pretty self-sufficient. Normally food, water and a few cats are all they need, and they'll come to you for attention. If you have two cat people there's a good chance of them forming a bonded pair, too. More than two cat people and they'll often socialise together.

Oh there are plenty of incredibly racist Anglophone South Africans - no denying that. It's just that there's nothing he could do to make the Afrikaner Nationalists welcome him because he's not an Afrikaner by blood.

As a generalisation, the racist white South Africans also tend to have an English/Afrikaans tribalism that provokes tension, while the non-racist ones also tend not to give a damn about that tribalism either. The same is somewhat (but not entirely) true of racist black South Africans, and honestly that distrust amongst the various racist groups is a major reason that South Africa has been able to make so much progress.

Gather at 201 E Huron St (parking lot) tomorrow (05/07) at 6:50PM for a Die-In to tell City Council that Safety Can't Wait.

Our Demands:

  1. To City Council and MDOT, hurry up the takeover of MDOT roads within the city
  2. To MDOT, allow safety improvements and signal adjustments now
  3. To City Council, turn on the GridSmart camera features that automatically create longer crossing times for pedestrians needing extra time 4). Allocate money for Stadium safety improvements to make changes on streets the city controls right now 5). Turn off all flashing yellow left turn signals that don't yet have a pedestrian walk button override

I think this is really great! Too many cities are quite hostile to people with mobility issues.

 

The original title was "State Senators from Ann Arbor pushing for repeal on ban of single-use plastic regulations" but that sounded confusing to me.

This change, if implemented, would allow Ann Arbor to do things like require that stores charge for plastic bags.
