But you can’t roll your own linux distro?

You can, but it wouldn’t be better than Hannah Montana Linux.

Doesn’t matter if it’s accurate. Now they have more unique data points to help track your digital footprint.

And, potentially worse, he knows how to turn the crazy off during a public appearance when he needs to.

Trump dying fixes nothing.

Well, it could potentially fracture their party between different figures vying to be the next Trump. That’s the only thing it could fix.

Okay, sure … but on that note … what kind of maniac would put all those fresh fruits and vegetables all just piled together inside, with no packaging at all to keep them separate/intact and then add a baguette in there as well, just stuffed in among the vegetables? And, somehow, the worst part is that they have 4 red peppers, and the peppers aren’t even all in the same general area, they’re just tossed in there randomly…

True, true. Less commuting would be a benefit for just about everybody (except wealthy commercial real estate landlords).

Just wanted to point out that saying everyone should stop commuting is pretty hyperbolic.

Also depending on how much shit you need to transport.

Even if there was a store within walking distance, I wouldn’t fancy walking with a week’s worth of groceries.

Turns out, spending 40 hours a week driving makes you pretty good at driving.

I don’t want to be crowded around strangers, feeling awkward and anxious, in a shitty big vehicle that is constantly jerking and rumbling and takes 4x as long to get where I need to go.

Bicycling would alleviate all of these … except for the last one. (Now it takes 10x as long to get where you need to go. But it’s not crowded, no social anxiety, no shitty big vehicle, less jerking and no rumbling…)

6 hours? At that point, I’d drive a camper to work and just sleep in the parking lot.

And if we’re going to go that route, I prefer “embrace the suck” as a more fun and helpful thought terminating cliche.

Sure, sure … but it’s important to remember that not all jobs are office jobs.

For your delivery drivers, retail shelf-stockers, sanitation workers, farmers, nurses, construction workers, etc, etc, etc … remote work doesn’t really work for them. Remote work is fine for IT jobs, clerical jobs, and administrative jobs, but a lot of jobs can’t be done that way, which means a lot of people still need to commute.

This is by design. Conservatives get outraged if you try to add critical thinking classes to school curriculum.

They have the most access to misinformation as well.

I don’t need gas or oil to cycle.

Well, technically, it really helps to have a teensy bit to lubricate your bicycle’s bearings. But that’s all.

Trying to use a laptop for work at all is pretty terrible.

The ergonomics are shit – either the keyboard is too high or the screen is too low, and as long as the two are connected, there’s no changing that.

I hope it ships with a desktop background of a burning police car.

Seconded.

Needs more snakes.

the only way I can connect to wifi now is via command line

On the plus side, you’ll look like a super-leet haxor to your friends when you do this in front of them. Be sure to say, “Okay, I’m in” once it connects.
