In a fight between delusion and physics, physics may always win but delusion never concedes.

It expires after two weeks. You can extend, just like borrowing a physical copy. Or return early, in which case it expires upon return.


My local library allows borrowing ebooks. It’s incredibly useful. I own two kindles and haven’t spent a dime at Amazon for ebooks. I do buy physical books now and then from there, but only if I really need it and can’t find elsewhere.


Drop it to ten minutes a run plus walking, but up it to four times a week. You’re better off taking it slow and working up. Easier on your lower back and knees. Good shoes also matter. Might want to add some free calisthenics too. Body weight squats, pushups, dead hangs at a pullup bar, etc.


Jones approves.



Sure wish we were a province of the United States. Then nobody would be buying pickup trucks as passenger vehicles! I mean, who in America has a pickup truck in their driveway?


My local food coop just fucks me. I didn’t know I could get toys with that too!


I like the Ionic.


I’d buy another one. The Fit is a fantastic economy car. I want an EV, but older cars don’t track. That’s more important to me than the convenience of an EV.


I’m nearly 60.
Resistance training twice a week. Walks, swimming laps, short jogs, and cycling for the rest. I eat a mixed diet that leans plants, but I do eat some meat, eggs, and fish.


Whereas not using a VPN will subject one to… domestic surveillance.


I own a Honda Fit. It’s small, is reasonably petrol efficient, has actual dials and physical knobs for an interface, and needs just basic maintenance to run reliably.
Of course they’ve been discontinued in Canada.


Elon couldn’t pay me to buy a Tesla. I like EVs. It’s not about the technology. It’s entirely about Elon. I’d rather buy Japanese or South Korean, thank you.


Please read Lessig’s Code, and Other Laws of Cyberspace. There is no system code that doesn’t implement rules, and no rules that aren’t impacted by its creators’ biases. What matters is intent. It’s clear, the devs of PieFed by implementing anti-Nazi mod tools do not intend to ban people who were born in 1988 or otherwise. You use an edge case to argue a rare injustice trumps the obvious good of tossing neonazis off their platform.


Mod tools on PieFed are vastly better than on Lemmy. And that’s not a political statement.


The one I bought was a 2400bps unit in 1985. I hooked it up to a local BBS I ran on a TRS-80 Model 1. Fun times. Lol


I actually owned one of those!
It’s a cable-tv descrambler.
