I mean… Technically, you can blame anything you want for anything.

Fun fact: On average, horses have 7 horsepower.

When cable TV first came out it didn’t have ads because you were paying for the service. When Sirius satellite radio came out it didn’t have ads because you were paying for the service. When Netflix streaming came…

Adding ads to YouTube was always the plan.

I had a book once that had a full color spread for the movie in the middle of the book. Obviously this was a skippable ad, but still, it’s inescapable.

I thought you could see an ear if you zoomed in but now I am questioning that and also want to know what the story is.

From the article I linked:

“This article is about the passenger rail service in Florida…”

AFAIK the Amtrak route from Seattle only goes to Chicago, you would have to change trains to get to NYC anyway.

ETA: I am pretty sure you would have to change in Portland too as the only route out of Seattle goes south IIRC.

I have a 13 Mini and even Lemmy makes that happen sometimes but it’s gotten way worse for me since the update to iOS 26.

Unless you are being oddly specific with your definition of passenger rail, there absolutely is.
Brightline for instance.

Sure, but my point was more they still currently sell devices with less than 4GB of RAM so it seems reasonable to foresee people still using them in 2 1/2 years.

Last time i checked they still sell a RPi with less than 4GB of ram.

Not all cultures do white for weddings and black for funerals. Or maybe Sarah is goth?

We used to call people who omitted the spectrum and were attracted to other people regardless pansexual.

It would depend on if you were looking at it from the rising side or the setting side. It would be turned 90° and then would flip 180° as it went overhead from your perspective.

I can only speak for the Cherokees but as far as I know all of the tribes from the southeast including the Mvskoke (Creek) used cane as a building and crafting material. These tribes also traded these objects and materials worldwide. This is why traditional Cherokee dress from the early 19th century includes a turban and kurta. (See picture of Sequoyah.)

I hate to break it to you but XP-7 only existed the way it did because Microsoft was under an injunction preventing them from bundling services with the OS. They actually intended to have Microsoft accounts (then called .Net Passports) tied to activation in XP.

I often find that due to where I grew up I learned about things, like the Tulsa race massacre for instance, that others didn’t. In this case, the cultural center run by my tribal government regularly has demonstrations on how my tribe used river cane. Including for things like basket weaving, blow guns, flutes, and even sticks for an early version of what would eventually become lacrosse.

Where I grew up, giant river cane specifically is being cultivated and reintroduced for Native purposes and is now not totally uncommon to find near the local rivers and streams. I don’t know how to tell them apart, but it’s entirely possible that that’s what’s near you too depend depending on where you are.

No? I care about accurate representations of Native American environments. My comment was specifically directed at your comment, not the entire thread.

I honestly think there’s no way to know if there’s really more trees now than there was. But I kind of doubt it, unless like you said, we’re specifically counting saplings on farms versus old growth forests.

Two things:

Native peoples very much built buildings.

Lots of where towns are now in the south and in the plains weren’t prairie as is commonly thought, they were lowlands populated with bamboo.

It’s the opposite for me. I live in a place that gets fairly humid during different times of the year so cassettes don’t often make it If they were left in a car or a garage or something similar. Whereas most of the CDs that survived my teenage years still work.
