A current joke in Ukraine, reportedly:

"The Ukrainian military is now suffering a severe supply shortage. NATO factories are working round the clock, but are wholly unable to meet Ukraine's current demands for popcorn."

(paraphrased from Gerashchenko_en at that other site)

I hear you brother. Also, once a year I light a candle for the Motel 6, so tragically ripped from us lo these long years ago. i still get choked up thinking about it.

@ct_bergstrom The extraordinary thing is this is someone who can be robbed blind by billionaires every day and not get as angry as he does when a total stranger "virtue signals".

@SWLABR @ct_bergstrom "virtue-signaling" signals that every time.

@kevin @stuart Nowadays you don't "get a cup down from the shelf", you "launch a container".

Hey, groundskeeper across the street!

Yes you, the one with the unmuffled gas-powered leaf blower, who's spent the last three minutes trying to herd a single leaf into the gutter...

Has it occurred to you to just bend over and pick it up?

@erosdiscordia @eff @somafm and your nearest National Park visitor's center..

Do you think the children of dictators attending private Western schools ever try to one-up each other about how despotic their fathers are?

Have been for a while now, I think a good part of the pent-up demand has been met.

The 4s are still flying out the door as quickly as they turn up though, and probably will for some time to come.

Wish they'd get cranking on the 2Ws.

AI is cheap, ubiquitous and effective, we're told; yet Amazon somehow can't exclude the "I don't know" responses from their product Q&A database.

@ottocrat I even limit filling the fuel tank to half way because fuel containing ethanol is hygroscopic and goes bad extremely quickly in a rainy climate. It takes four months to use up a tank and it goes perceptibly bad in two. And moisture-laden fuel is bad for the fueling system.

I'm keeping my 14-year old ICE car because between bikes, public transport and Shank's Mare I only need it for certain errands; it works out to about 20 mi/wk. At which rate actuarially speaking I'd be dead before I drove a new EV enough to offset its initial carbon debt.
