There's a bulk food store near me and it allows BYO containers (or you can use one of their compostable bags). It's great! A little bit more work (you need to tare your/container write down the empty weight), but you get your goods in the container of your choice.

What's the alternative? Strong arm a democratically elected


even if stupid at times


government to change policy? That's a terrifying precedent.

The other alternative is to backdoor or otherwise compromise users in other jurisdictions. Glad they didn't do that.

You can ride your bike on many highways in the USA at least. Generally you cannot on the freeway, but there are some exceptions


in California there are requirements about bike accessibility which means that certain segments of a freeway may be bike accessible.

If you live far from a store then groceries are a problem unless you use a trailer, but if you live in a city it's totally reasonable to use a bike (or walk) for your weekly groceries.

And you can get a new Trek FX for under $600, and that's just from a quick search. Yes of you want Ultegra or better and a carbon frame, the sky is the limit.

The subhead is

The ads promoted extremist hate speech

It wasn't clear to me from the title if "referencing Nazi war crimes" was a good or bad thing (as in, "don't let history repeat itself" seems a good message, but that's apparently not the perspective the ad was pushing...).

I think mplayer has an ASCII output mode (VLC, too?), and I believe youtube-dl can output to stdout.

The rest is, as they say, left as an exercise to the reader.

No love for us Dvorak users :(

Oh absolutely; the folks who sat at home, are outraged that a fascist is in power, and are too dumb to understand how voting works to realize that they enabled it


they are infuriating.

It's kinda a weird take? Like if I'm in a discussion about some scary things AfD are doing and a left-of-center German joins the conversation, I'd like to think I'd have the ability to...you know...hear what they have to say about things.

There are a bunch of Americans who asked for this; there are a bunch who stood by and did nothing to stop it; and there are a bunch who tried to stop it, did not, and are devastated.

I guess at the end of the day it's just a meme.

It's a bill pointing out the hypocrisy of reproductive rights.

It's on https://www.thefarside.com/ today as one of the "Selections of classic The Far Side comics." Comic says ©1984, but doesn't give a specific date (an image on reddit suggests 4/6/84).

I mean, I don't think "reflexively opposing" is really a good thing, ever


in this case though "reflexively opposing" and "opposing on merit" would (as far as I know) yield the same outcome, so it's functionally the same thing.

I don't hate Trump's nominee's because I hate Trump, I hate them because they're antithetical to a working government.

Sounds like it was a 2 petawatt pulsed laser, with picosecond pulses, so 2kJ/pulse. Staggering amount of power and energy for a pulsed laser!

Note that it's not CW, so the average power will be much, much, much less than the pulsed power. Too lazy to find the rep rate to see average power.
