The California Gold Rush was literally right after the territory was ceded from Mexico, so even if burittos had come from then they might as well have been still effectively Mexican anyway.

Only one of them is the cheap regular eggs, though. The others are organic or free range or otherwise differentiated in some way other than just the foam vs paper packaging.
The only way to solve the self driving cat issue is to ban all human drivers from the road.
…and cyclists, and pedestrians, and farm tractors, and horses, and wagons, and stray pets, and wildlife, and…
As if the grocery store gives you a choice.


As a software developer who also has a background in civil engineering and an EIT, I rue the fact that NCEES got rid of the software engineering PE exam before I had a chance to take it.
They claim to sell a license, but that’s a lie.


On one hand, this, on the other hand, y’all are trying to destroy the entire concept of property rights by putting government-snitch DRM in 3D printers. You’ve got some work to do to crawl out of that net negative.


You’re not wrong about wanting to actually own the stuff you buy, but your comment is predicated on the false notion that you don’t own a game you bought as a digital download. Everybody needs to quit falling for the copyright cartel shysters’ lies.
(This is also a reply to the sibling comment by @[email protected], BTW.)


I should start digging through my old hardware to find stuff to sell.


Lemmy’s population is overrepresented by software engineers who know more about how LLMs actually work than the general public does. Let that sink in.


Data centers ought to only be allowed in rural areas to begin with. Even if the noise/vibration/heat/etc. weren’t an issue they’re still a goddamn hole with zero foot traffic, and that’s just bad urbanism. They’re like public storage warehouses, but even worse.
They need access to the Internet backbone, but that doesn’t mean they have to be in cities. Put 'em somewhere along the fiber halfway between.


Even at $3.5 billion, “slapped” is an appropriate characterization 'cause all they hit was the wrist.


They don’t have to rebuild the intersection; they just have to redo the signal timing so that the thru green for the bike lane isn’t in the same phase as the right turn green for the general purpose lane. (Okay, so they might have to add a right arrow signal head too. Still, cheaper than new pavement.)
They just don’t want to do it because it would probably reduce level of service for cars and they don’t care enough about cyclists’ safety to make that trade-off.


IMO that is sheer incompetence on the part of the traffic engineer who designed it.


That seems likely, yes, but you don’t know for sure without CFD or wind tunnel testing. It could be that there’s some weird detail with the fastback that somehow manages to make it worse.


I do if I want to take it on proper off-road trails, mudding and rock-crawling and such.


CarPlay itself, perhaps not. The telemetry, ads, annoying safety nagging, and sometimes even paywalled vehicle features that tend to be implemented alongside it (because the underlying computerization facilitates both the good and the bad) is, though.
