That’s a bit specious coming from the land of Samsung, Hyundai, LG, etc. etc. The oligarchy is firmly entrenched, here.

Well, now I’m clearly going to have to find a way to monetize the wheel as well.
Underwaterbob@sh.itjust.worksto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•there's no escape! brew another cup!211·4 days agoThe wheel has had a number of innovations over the years. The earliest wheels were flat disks of wood that were heavy and slow turning. The Romans invented spokes and metal rims which made them faster, more durable, and gave them more traction. Questions we need answered: What is this wheel in particular designed to do? Is there any way we could make it work more efficiently at its task? Do we value performance over reliability, or vice versa? Etc. Etc.
Don’t patronize those platforms.
An ex and I were on a bus trip to a city about an hour away from where we lived while we taught English in Korea. The subject of there being a “subway” in said city came up randomly. She said she thought she had seen one the last time she was there. I had been there more times than she had and said there was no subway. She doubled down. No, she was quite sure she had seen one near the university. I doubled down, I’ve been there quite a few times. There’s no way they have a subway. It’s not even big enough for one! It got pretty heated. This went on for some time. Feelings were hurt.
She was talking about the sandwich restaurant, and I was talking about underground trains. We were both right.
My buddy in Korea learned a lot of his Korean from his Korean wife. Korea. Now, apparently he speaks Korean like a woman.

Mint Cinnamon. All my hardware works, and it can do the few things I require my work PC to do. It even remembers things like my default audio device - something Ubuntu refused to do for years.
Also, there is a doctor in the show, and he is a brown bear, not a pig.

A serial killer who kills evil rich people.11·20 days agoIt’d be incredibly unrealistic to have them have any degree of success given the ease of determining their motive and potential targets, and the sheer amount of resources the police would undoubtedly throw at finding someone who was killing oligarchs.
“Xarelto”, or alternatively “cereal with sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, crushed peanuts, raisins, dried cranberries, and Greek yogurt” if medicine doesn’t count.




I mean, if anyone without Trump’s money and influence had this many accusations leveled against them, you can be pretty sure they’d be behind bars by now. It’s not that the women aren’t being trusted, it’s that the entire fucking system is broken. Or more accurately, is designed to serve the rich and powerful.
