I propose a new rule: if you're American and wealthy, you don't get to talk about communism. At all.

Lemmy is full of dorks, and I love that. Among its other flaws, Reddit could be mean-spirited at times. I haven't seen the same willingness to ignore ordinary human decency in favour of karma-farming here.

Richard Pearse, New Zealand aviation pioneer. He was a farmer by trade, and had a reputation for making crooked furrows because he would read technical books while he plowed. He worked on powered flight at the same time as the Wright Brothers and actually achieved his first powered take-off before they did.

The test flight ended by crashing into a thornbush hedge and Pearse received minor injuries.
