It took me awhile to like Katy Perry’s older stuff. This coming from a guy who likes Indie/Punk/New Wave. I haven’t listened to her newer stuff.
Oh and same with Billie Eilish.
There was a guy who was in tech support who talked to a customer about who was hot or not in the company. It was actually the customer who started the conversation, but the rep ran with it and used all kinds of unprofessional and disparaging language when describing his female co-workers.
That call happened to have a supervisor listening in, so he was fired immediately after he got off the call. The thing is found out who called in, and the women on the team had to assist him when he called for support.
Until people are donating enough money to make maintaining an open source browser doable, this will continue to happen.
I do not. I can give you a link to the one I’m referencing though. I’m sure that something like this would exist in Seattle.
There are maker spaces in some of the larger cities due to this. There is one in Columbus, but it never took off because…most people who live in Columbus have garages.
Most bus systems in American cities are for people to get to work and back home. Trying to take it to, for instance, a friend’s house, and you’re generally going to spend about 4x the time it’d take to drive there.
I don’t know who did it, but there was a list of cities in the US with the amount of space used for car parking. I think Tulsa, OK was something like 2/3rds of their downtown land was devoted to parking.
The average American thinks that if roads are too dangerous for bikers, then bikers shouldn’t be allowed to drive on them. This is preferable to reducing the speed limit…that people will ignore anyway.
I live in a suburban area of Columbus, Ohio.
You also mention you can get somewhere within 10 minutes of walking. A lot of Americans will refuse to walk that far. For many people in the country and the suburbs, the bulk of the outdoor walking they do is to/from their cars and to get the mail.
It’s hard for Europeans to understand, but nearly all American cities are built around the concept that everyone has their own car and drives everywhere to get around. Even things that are 5 minute walks, Americans will get in the car and drive to. Mass transit (again in most cities) is coded as “for poor people who can’t afford a car”, so it’s always difficult to use and is much slower than having your own car.
In college (2003ish), I ran a desktop PC without a case. Hell I ran the processor (450MHz P3) without a fan, just a passive heatsink. It ran fine.
I will probably spend a full year doing Not A Damn Thing™. After that, who knows. Volunteer somewhere maybe.
I work from home so most of the time it’s whatever I wore to bed the night before. Unless I’m on camera and then I’ll put on a t-shirt.
Getting paid without having to work.
This morning I wore a Cleveland Guardians hat to lunch.
I’m not trying to disparage anyone who likes Linkin Park, but my opinion is that, in general, alt rock from the late 90s through the early 00s has aged really poorly. I used to listen to that music a ton when I was in high school and college, but I don’t anymore.
Sorry I assume everyone else has it.
Universal healthcare in the United States.

I have just recently heard of both after not knowing who either was like 2 months ago so this was just another instance of a long line of “man those people are constantly in the news.”
