When you can afford a pretty decent house as a shoe salesman

He's been swinging wildly between backing Zelensky and Putin based on which of them talked to him most recently. He goes on social media tirades and makes executive orders based on what he saw on Fox News the night before.

He's literally a demented old man who's extremely suggestible because his brain is swiss cheese.

I definitely own Diablo and I definitely used Win2K, but I didn't go out of my way to buy a weird special version of it. This leads me to believe the normal Windows 95 version would work on NT as well.

I distinctly remember running most, if not all, of my games on Windows 2000 (not ME). I mean, yeah, NT 4 was pretty hopeless for gaming, but 2000 was better.

Nah, that implies he's only betraying us because he's being coerced and would do right otherwise. Trump is too much of a fanboi of Putin for me to buy that.

Surely the solution is more funding, steadily chugging through the backlog, and ensuring sufficient funding going forward to prevent this.

Or, ya know, attempting to prosecute fewer people to begin with.

(Maybe start with not persecuting anti-genocide and climate activists for their speech, hint hint)

It's a problem no matter what interface you use because the real issue is the underlying data.

I have the same issue where I live and I keep getting tempted to do an ad-hoc fix for myself, but the correct thing to do would be to find and upload a dataset that actually has parcel-level address data instead of only block-level data.

There's nothing more permanent than a "temporary" fix.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 18 points 21 hours ago

It's exactly that. They're literally trying to bring back "divine right of kings."

As an American I have no idea WTF our president is thinking.

He's a traitor working for Putin. How is that anything less than perfectly obvious, at this point?

Reminds me of my college. The architecture building had an awkward floor plan and the civil engineering building was poorly constructed.

Suddenly, drivers find themselves pulled over — often for reasons cited such as speeding, failure to signal, the wrong window tint or even a dangling air freshener blocking the view. They are then aggressively questioned and searched, with no inkling that the roads they drove put them on law enforcement’s radar.

Only solution is going to be to ban the automated license plate scanners; otherwise this is going to keep on happening.

If only we had invented and built some sort of alternative mode of collective transportation. Maybe it could be in tunnels and ride on metallic rails. It would serve many people and make periodic stops to the same locations instead of the highway clusterf- we have today. Sad that we don't, but a man can dream though. A man can dream though. A man can dream.
