Given that .net was a TLD long before the framework came out, it was a stupid thing to name it. Caused confusion and the inability to Google things right away.

The Environmental Impact of a Car - No Exit
The problem is America is built assuming the use of cars. Most Americans cannot simply trade their car for a bicycle, because they live too far away from goods and services. And even if they could ride the bike the 5 or 10 or 20 miles to the nearest grocery store, good luck getting little Timmy and Suzie to their soccer practice or scout meeting.
So at least an electric car stops the tailpipe emissions while we think about changing where people live and where their services are located.

The One Climate Policy All 2024 Candidates Support Is Actually Terrible | Ethanol is a comically inefficient form of solar energy—and a toxic one. Solar panels would be better
This is the stupid shit we get for letting Iowa always be first in the nominating contests.

When you sit around a fire, you're participating in a ritual that has been performed by countless generations of humans since the beginning of our species.
So the thing where you sit on one side of the fire awhile, then the wind shifts and all the smoke is blowing in your face, so you move to the other side, and then the wind shifts again and all the smoke is blowing on you again, that thing is really old.

I'm referring to the millions of people who live where there is no possibility of public transit because the population density is way too low. I'm all in favor of making cities car-free zones, but outside of major population centers, the quickest way to help the environment is to switch to electric vehicles.

I think you and I are using different definitions of "quickest". Lessening car dependence in the US will take years. People can drive electric today.

what caused you to get into Linux?
I used Unix workstations in college. After graduation my choices were MS-DOS and Windows 3.1, or a real OS. Started with Slackware in the mid-1990's.

Looking for recipes to make plain canned tuna taste good
Try boneless & skinless sardines or mackerel for a less mercury-filled fish hit.
I eat 2 cans per day, generally on top of a leafy green salad. Ranch dressing makes everything taste great.

The best way to protest against reddit is simply to not interact with Reddit

Yep. Deleted my account(s) last weekend and that was it. Have not been back.

Does anyone else hope the bulk of Reddit stays there?
I've been through multiple aggregator site meltdowns and migrations. Some will stay, some will go, everyone will eventually find a new home. No worries!
