I'm guessing it's because the developers either have a different speciality that they focus on, are employed to support specific hardware, or both.

Step one: join local bike coalition.

Step two: become a single-iseue voter and only vote for their endorsements.

Only half joking here.

It's not perfect in my city, but it is getting better, which is awesome to see


in the past 7 or so years that I've lived here it has gotten way way better. The pandemic helped a ton (slow streets implemented in a really great way among other things).

Oh no! What will Stanford, CalTech, Berkeley, Harvey Mudd, UCLA, and other California schools do!

My point is that him being fat is completely unrelated to him being a horrible person.

I don't care about offending horrible people; but being overweight and being a horrible person are entirely separate.

Affordable Care Act, LGBTQ rights, marijuana reform...not to mention a Black man was president, and a Black woman is the party nominee.

Yeah, it sucks that progress is so slow, and yeah, it sucks that some things have gone backwards. But there has been a huge amount of progress in the past however-many years. We went from "don't ask, don't tell" to having a Catholic president openly support gay marriage in a relatively short time.

Using Harris' Glock anecdote as evidence the party is moving to the right is just lazy editorializing IMHO. Almost as lazy as just asserting that the party is moving to the left because of the issues that you decided illustrate the left-right difference...

Maybe don't use body shaming terms though? That's just lazy, and it's mean to other people, not just the target of the insult.

Duh, just read it back from /dev/random

You will recover the data, you just need to wait long enough.

Same argument against vegetarianism/veganism


we have teeth "designed" or evolved for eating meat, thus we should eat meat.

...we also have brains capable of abstract reasoning, but nevermind that!

Perhaps microwaving for significantly longer, at a low power level, would be safer and result in higher success/yield?
