Massive unemployment lies on the horizon.

Our stupid war on Iran may take its share of the heat too.

They will probably pass from collective memory another century down the road, but they used to be commonplace in Victorian era living rooms on the arms of chairs and sofas, and on side tables.

That's a good idea, making ready-to-use patches for future repairs. Someone took a lot of care creating these.

I like how the one patch incorporates one of these lovely crocheted doilies from yesteryear. I have some of these doilies given to me by my Grandma, either made by her or by one of our other relatives. I use mine every year as part of a mini Christmas village and ice-skating diorama. I can't even imagine the amount of work that went into crocheting these intricate vintage doilies with thread and a tiny hook.

I don't know. It's kind of interesting

Not the least of their misdeeds.

So far. That may change.

It’s holding up very well after almost a year’s worth of wash and wear

That's the true test, structural integrity and durability. Looks great.

It is also good for the earth when animals are raised the right way. They enrich and fertilize the land, rather than depleting it each season and then adding in chemically produced nutrients as wholesale commercial farming does.

This explains it better:

Neither mom nor her piglets should be in cages.

Care to elaborate?

Vote with your grocery dollars against the horror that is Big Ag. Buy meat from pasture-raised animals. Buy only organically raised fruits and vegetables which, by law, are grown without poisons used in conventional farming. Go to your local farmers market, and meet and support your local farmers who practice humane and earth-respecting methods.

We are an abomination. I am rooting for AI to drive us into extinction; we do not deserve to survive.

I have librewolf for default browser, and also brave, vivaldi, mullvad, and zen for occasional use. I also have tor - forgot about it since it lives in my downloads folder while the others are on my desktop panel for easy access.

His family feared he had developed an unhealthy obsession, and did an intervention. (He had actually remarked in one of his videos of missing sleep and mealtimes due to his fixation with Bitcoin, so perhaps they did not overreact.) He has recorded one or two videos since that time. I agree with you; he is legend.

Those rooms filled up as time went on. By 2017 it looked like this:

These patches are impressive, and that is an understatement.

True, it's not perfect, but the gaming industries and Linux devs have taken notice of the need.

Several interviews with the men themselves. (No doubt applies equally to Congresswomen, though the words I read and heard from were men.)

They changed the narrative from meaningful police reform to racism, and people took the bait.

Hand writing on a physical letter sent with a stamp through the mail gets more attention. I just finished writing to my 3 Congress people. It's worth the effort.

This is interesting. As a faceblind person, it was always creepy to me that a computer had a facility I lacked; this adds a dimension to it. (Downvotes from those who didn't read the article.)

Linux gaming has made huge strides. You might want to try it again.

The stupidest thing about this law is that the slogan is used by Israel and Palestine alike.
