8% is still too high. No one should profit from people being imprisoned.

A third or so of the country believes the right wing propaganda machine that has been churning for decades.

For everyone else, we’re constantly offered a choice between a center-right neoliberal, or an outright fascist. We’re just voting for how fast the country falls.

I upgraded to a nickel-plated nozzle, and it made a noticeable difference in PETG sticking to the nozzle less. Not a huge difference, but worth the few extra dollars.

I drove an '04 Dakota for years (last year of that body style before they started making them bigger). Loved that truck, perfect size for camping or hauling band equipment.

Sucks that the mid-sized trucks now are bigger that the full-sized trucks from back then.

Yeah, I wish Bruce Lee was still around to kick his ass again.

Designer probably got a dimension wrong on the drawing, and the pavers went “Alright, we’ll do it exactly as you say. Teach you to proofread next time…”

If the fediverse starts gaining traction, you can bet the mega-corps will use every dirty trick they have to co-opt it or, if that fails, undermine it.

Checked RIF just after midnight. Got a goodbye message and nothing else.

One of my favorite threads was an AMA from Nick Offerman in like 2012. Mostly I liked how if you looked at his comments in order, you could see him getting drunker as the thread went on, eventually posting answers to the wrong questions.

I still remember my ICQ number after like 25 years (21773913).

About to replace all my comments with links to a dick pic.

You didn’t have massive social media sites acting like hubs for the whole internet, predicting what you might want to read or watch. You had to know what you wanted and seek it out yourself. Communities were mostly niche forums with limited crossover.
