I mean, it's pretty much required in school. I had about 5 presentations each grade from late elementary through the end of high school

Oh wait, they're serious? Sorry, let me fix up my reply a bit...

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Would you ride an ebike twice a day, everyday, 30+ miles each way? Dunno about you, but that sounds positively exhausting. Get up early, get dressed in weather-appropriate clothing, put on helmet, sit on bike for the next two hours, then work for 7-9 hours, just to get right back on the bike for another 1-2 hours, maybe more? No thank you.

I had straight up just never considered that terminal file explorers existed. This post has opened my eyes, and so here is my Saved comment. (Maybe one day, kbin will implement saving without commenting...)

Was my first home as well. Only left it when I wanted a more active local timeline. The admin, David, is truly awesome and supportive.

I had a $400/mo gas bill. 37 miles' commute each way, in an SUV I got for cheap (just 10k, 87k miles on it, perfect condition). But it's not like I could just simply move, and this was the first job I got that paid more than $8/hr. So I kept at it for a few years.

Point is, that's not an entirely unrealistic figure. And while it's not something one should be doing, a lot still are doing so because it really is the only option they have commuting from suburbia to the city. (ESPECIALLY living in a county that has a history of being anti-public transit, like Cobb and Cherokee in Georgia)

Posts like this have me longing for a Save feature...

Ok but why are we ignoring an expired cert?

It's certainly nice to have an app, but I've been happy with to stay on kbin by having it permanently sit in a Firefox tab on my phone. Functions just fine for my purposes like that.

I mean, there's always the more private option of a Raspberry Pi or similar as a streaming box that you put Kodi or Jellyfin on.

Got a new LG TV for Christmas, and never once put it online. Smart TVs always remain dumb in my house, and I just use a Chromecast with Google TV. Never had a single ad and it works just fine displaying what the Chromecast shows

Actually you make a great point. Memes should be treated FAR less seriously than, say, a news magazine. Let's remember which magazine we're in, folks

Dicks out for Harambe, and all that
