They thought she’d be a sitting duck because she completely whiffed her interview on The View.

Electric trucks are lugging around their batteries moreso than their payload.

Electrolysis works, though as with everything, nuclear is the best option.

H2 is way better for trucks and planes than batteries, because even with the reinforced tanks it doesn’t weigh much, and the refueling does not take long.

I agree that battery electric is probably the way to go for consumer passenger vehicles, though.

I have a hydrogen car. H2 explodes more readily than it burns. The containment tanks are designed to mitigate this, and they are routinely tested with high-caliber rifles to make sure. There are YouTube videos of the tests.

Lol

This comment confuses me

Your neighbors appear either to be absolute morons, or work in a foreign click factory.

My point is that you can’t conceal his obvious senility by calling it a stutter. Yes, Trump needs to be prevented from gaining power, and were Biden to win a second term, the next four years would be better for the universe than if Trump were to win.

Regardless, it is looking exceedingly unlikely that Biden will be President on Jan 21, 2025, so he should step aside for someone who has a realistic prayer of actually being President on January 21.

I grew up with a stutter. I still have it if I don’t watch the pace of my speech. My uncle is the same way, but a more severe case. This is not someone with a stutter:

What it is, is someone who is not dealing with senility.

Los Angeles used to send the drunks to a labor camp in the valley for the duration of the Olympics.

Here’s Biden in the 2008 debate against Sarah Palin. https://youtu.be/4Hs7CptPWI4?si=ygyXTtMIiNwfAPYa

There’s no “stutter.” He’s nailing his talking points, stringing them together fluently. The Biden of today is unrecognizable.

At the same time, it’s not like Kamala is going to beat Trump. And they won’t let Bernie get the nomination.

Right, forgot about those devastatingly important priorities.

Now watch them do nothing of consequence.

I set up Alpine to read my Gmail last summer, and while the nostalgia hit was nice, the browser version was more responsive and useful, cap I went back to that.

If you’re interested in something that doesn’t even exist, and should be more-or-less straightforward:

Music/podcast app that will accept VST plugins (there are many FOSS ones, as well as non-FOSS ones) so that we can compress/limit the sound range on podcasts while in the car. Or even a built-in compressor/limiter that’s based on FOSS compressors.

I was listening to a hysterical podcast episode between three people, but one of mics was way louder than the other two. I had to take it into Pro Tools and fix it myself before listening to it.

There are apps that allow EQ, but none that do actual compression, from what I can tell.

While I don’t have personal experience with this, I did find this from the bad website:

Install pipewire-jack and use JACK audio device in Reaper. Also, yes make sure that wireplumber is installed.

Gentoo. Not an Arch fork, and uses OpenRC by default. I use it and love it. Portage is the best package manager out there, imo.

You can still get binaries of the really annoying things to compile, like Firefox. Otherwise, it’s all source-based.

I’d advise installing it in a VM or on a spare computer first to get your hands around what it is.

In your case, you’ll want to specify the following flags in you makefile:

OpenRC, -systemd

You’ll add a bunch of others in there too depending on architecture and personal priorities.

Follow the handbook. https://www.gentoo.org/get-started/

There’s also Calculate Linux, which is basically Gentoo with a graphical front end, but I think it’s Intel only. CLI is more fun anyway.

Debian Stable or Testing. Runs on anything, and Stable - especially - will not let you down. Ubintu, Elementary and dozens of others are downstream of Debian. Bookworm is a great experience, so why not go to the source?

“Testing” is described as containing packages that are still in the queue to be accepted into Stable.

“Unstable” branch is all the newest stuff, whether it works or not.

If you’re in school for anything computer-related, once you’ve settled on a distro, you could also start playing with Gentoo.

Yup - vst is OS-agnostic.
