Mastodon but not nearly as much as Lemmy.

Bookwyrm but not nearly as much as Mastodon.

I really wanted Bookwyrm to be more useful for me. But it’s really not geared towards what I want in keeping track of books. ymmv

Few people can focus enough to read.

I work in a technical field. In the past few years I’ve learned that interacting by email usually requires one-line sentences or bullet points, with any questions being numbered. No fluff, no secondary thoughts or possibilities. Keep it as minimal as possible.

It still fails to elicit a coherent response about half the time, but it’s the best I’ve found so far.

It didn’t use to be like this. But what’s to blame; screen addiction, microplastics, covid, increased stress, … ?

I’d be glad to:

Pack his bags tonight preflight…

Really? Only 13%?

Maybe it’s a lagging indicator? Maybe sales in China picked up? Maybe the numbers have been finessed?

And the Dems are, mostly, still too safe. They need to start fighting while they still have a chance of stopping the insanity.

Step 1: Schumer needs to step down.

Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve heard someone spout this much hopium and half-truths.

2.1C by 2100?? That’s just delusional. We’ll hit that by 2035 at the latest.

Please find a better source for global warming information. Perhaps start with Hansen.

This is great news!!

We got ours just a week or two before seeing him for what he is. It sucks and we can’t afford to ditch the car.

I really think the people that work at Tesla have done a great job making a very affordable car that works well. I can only imagine that the disgust I feel towards the asshat and to the association with this car pales in comparison to what the people who designed and built it feel. 120,000 people work for Tesla.

I don’t see how, but it’d be better if we could separate the 13% shareholding asshat from the company rather than destroy it. It’s a shitty situation.

edit: by ‘affordable’ I’m looking at total cost of owership, which was significantly less than a new Prius. Also, I’m in a snowbelt, used cars are a bad idea here. (can ya feel the defensiveness?, ug)

Wow, that, to me, seems like something only the very privileged would suggest.

So I bought a car based on low emissions and total lifetime cost. The connection to one asshat has soured the public opinion of the company, so I should take a $10-15k bath??

This is not the way.

There’s been a fair bit of pushback on this, as expected. I’m in western NY and have an all-electric house. It works great and has been cheaper than gas.

Between her caving on Adams and this, I’m going to really let her outreach manager’s team leader’s third intern’s bot have it in my next letter.
