Do I need to play it now or never? I have a feeling this FOMO is driving some of their current engagement.

Also what's the goal of scrambling jets when the threat is a passenger inside said jet? Are they gonna ask the pilot to pipe the radio to the PA and say "you better not blow up that plane because we're in charge and we said so?" Do they have a sniper on the wing ready to take out just one guy meanwhile depressurizing the whole fuselage, potentially explosively? Maybe Top Gun Tom Cruise can hit the guy with a burst of the 20mm? Seems like there's no point whatsoever. Best case they can say "yep it blew up" or "nope it didn't blow up."

I think Jon would be great as president. Definitely better than our current options. But if he was done with the Daily Show (and even if he never left) I wouldn't be surprised at all if he didn't want the actual job of being president.

Go to lemmyverse.net and load up your subscriptions with more active communities, and I'll bet you will barely notice that reddit is gone aside from less/slower (but better IMO) content and lower upvote counts.

I had to use the environment to destroy the environment. It nearly killed me.

Also an unexpected benefit is that if you can home charge, which I can, you've got the equivalent of a gas station at home so you're pretty much always ready to go anywhere within a pretty reasonable distance.

That's one thing I like about zsh, or my config at least, because I use i3 and therefore tend to open lots of shells. History is mostly local until I hit return twice (two empty prompts) at which point I can get history from other sessions. It's stuck more global at that point though aside from future history.

Fortunately I have my hourly backups! 😅

I did try it for a bit. IIRC it slowed me down more than I cared for. Maybe worth trying again, though.
