Hey, the death panels the Republicans predicted are coming soon!

Vuescan.

There's a great Carolyn Hax advice column from years ago where the writer's partner was vegetarian because he was actually allergic to meat.

Writer's family thinks it's a lie and sneaks meat into a meal. That results in a ride in the "screaming white bus," as Carolyn put it, to the hospital.

The writer defended her family and insisted it was just a joke, and partner was taking it too seriously. I've left out a lot of detail, but Carolyn basically tells the partner he should run from this relationship.

My previous laptop had a touch screen, and the Linux driver worked for it with no configuration on my end. Not exactly what you're asking about, but I was impressed by how it "just worked".

But that was a traditional laptop.

It's a novelty vehicle.

It's too big for many people. It's not as functional (in terms of towing and hauling) as a regular pickup. People who buy pickups for business uses are, for the most part, are going to be very nervous about buying an electric vehicle from a relatively new manufacturer.

Even if you put aside the issues with Elon: The issue with the Cybertruck is that Elon never understood it was a novelty vehicle. The traditional auto manufacturers make these novelty vehicles from time to time, but the difference is that they understand what they're building and know they're only going to sell 10,000 or something per year, and probably for a short run.

Elon's so far up his own ass that he doesn't understand why everyone isn't buying one.

The turnout will be about 10 people.

Seems like these could be a good display/control panel for Home Assistant.

There's a whole community for self hosting software.

Hopefully I did that right...

I meant including gas.

Looks like there's one, the Nissan Versa.

I mean, are there any cars available in the US for just $20k? I'm pretty sure a base Mazda 3 was more than that when we bought ours five years ago (before the pandemic, and ours is a higher trim model). I don't think they're making the really small cars any more (like the Toyota Yaris).

Short version, I'm skeptical of this price point for even a small pickup. Great if they can do it.

You actually can nearly do that. Facebook inexplicably showed me how a few weeks ago. If a friend reshares something, you'll see it, but it removes all groups, etc. It was stunning how little content actually comes from friends.

On the Facebook site (I'm sure it can be done via app, too, but I didn't look), click on the menu near the top right, then click Feeds (under Social). Then click on Friends on the left.

What makes this an illegal pardon?
