I did great in school. Maybe I would have accomplished more after school. Good diagnosed in my mid 30s.

Knowing has helped me a bit, like “ok, I’m not a bad human, my brain is just weird”

I have them arranged in the order the little plastic tray has for them. I’ve honestly never thought of the order of cutlery in my friends houses and find your level of obsession with it slightly eccentric, but in an endearing and humorous way.

That site is geo-blocked in my region so I have no idea what it says but I’d just like to point out that

A: the USA actually exports a huge number of used cars so the average life of a car sold in the US will actually be longer than the average age of a car in the US.

And B: without a significant number of cars way older than 20 years old, there’s no way for the average age to be 12 years old and only 24% be over 20 years old. So a bunch of that 24% have got to be 50-60 years old. Either one of the stats are wrong or a significant portion of cars are lasting way longer than either of us were guessing.

Also you can appreciate the experience more just because of the aesthetics of a product. This is a well documented phenomenon. If it’s not your thing fine, not everyone has to like the same things. I find for example fancy dinner sets to be ridiculous. Doesn’t mean that I think people who own them are dumb for liking them. I have friends who break out their grandmother’s china for Thanksgiving. I’d never do that but it makes them happy so good on them.

Edit: whoever wrote that blog post really doesn’t want any darned foreigners reading it. They not only block non American IP addresses, but also Archive.org, VPN addresses, and Google cache.

I’d 100% disagree. Aesthetics are hugely important, especially in things you use every day. It’s dumb to go into debt for it or otherwise ruin your life over it but if you have to use it every day you might as well enjoy it.

Also 99% of cars not making it to 20 years old is an absurd thing to say. The average age of a car in the USA is 12 years. Vehicle sales per year haven’t changed that much. That means about half the cars on the road are over 20 years old.

And a dining room set lasting centuries? Technically possible but like not if you actually use it every day.

Nah I have some services running on unpublished domains and I get hit by brute force attempts at SSH logins all the time. It might not be sane but botnet gonna botnet.

I mean there’s a lot of engineering, design, and art that goes into a car. And I feel it’s kinda natural to admire a high performance machine. I’ll admire a tractor or a train also.

Did you originally link Chinchilla butts haha?

But yeah if I go in to the post then click the link it works fine, but clicking the title from the front-page gives Chinchillas.

Lol for some reason in Boost this plays a video of Chinchilla butts?

I think you’ll need to change passwd and shadow, maybe a few other files, but besides that it’ll mostly work.

I actually like Edge more than Chrome.

I don’t use either, die-hard Firefox user for decades but if I’m forced to pick one…

I meant in a light hearted tongue in cheek way, no need for hostility.

Why is the show about gay space communism popular on the gay space communism network?

Romania just out there pretending to be Latin America.

There’s no phonetic reason, the double oo and single o make the exact same sound in most dialects and there’s no reason the s should sound like a z in lose.

Probably init before that then. I don’t think the kernel cares unless explicitly told to care, I’ve seen some embedded Linux with interesting permissions.

I think it’s systemd not the kernel. If only Linux had “repair permissions” like vintage MacOS.

And fake internet points.

And I’m sure top men are working on monetization.

Data integrity protection, higher resiliency, less chance of being corrupted, etc.

Btrfs offers a lot more than just snapshots.
