I have a similar story of woe.

Before they got rid of them, I bought a churro and was walking to the parking lot when I tilted that stupid sleeve (it's not a bag) the wrong way and the churro slipped out and landed on that nasty pavement. A few months later my mom died.

By advertising for AfD: Elon Musk presents a new jump 20.12.24

Washington (dpo) - He's simply a creative genius! The multilmilliards, oligarch and secret US President Elon Musk today presented a new jump to the public, which he has practiced in recent days. It is intended to replace the previously known X-shaped jump, which Musk has so popularly shown so far.

"I am convinced that this form is even better than a simple X," Musk commented on his innovation. "It is not just a cross, but a cross with hook. I call this jump the Swastika Jump. Pretty badass, right?"

According to Musk, the shape of his new jump fits even better with him and his ideals.

"With this leap, I will be on political stages around the world and lead parties such as the AfD or Reform UK to the final victory," says Musk. "Just like Trump in the US. Make UK Great Again! Germany Over Everything!"

It remains to be seen how long Musk will hold on to this new choreography. According to insiders, he is already preparing a simplified variant of the jump for short performances, in which only the right arm is raised.

I was expecting it to be about lead. This is good too.

Thank you for this.

Oh. That makes more sense. Thank you.

280 km between King Street Station and Union Station

I don't understand. Those stations are literally across the street (4th Ave S) from each other, ~~although as far as I know not actually connected to the same rails at any point since Union Station is light rail and King St. is not.~~

Edit: I was really tired last night I guess, and confused it with International District Station.

Apparently Seattle's Union Station isn't physically connected to rail at all now, but is the HQ of Sound Transit

Racy!

But seriously, seeing the older people made me realize that those guys wouldn't have even had cars all over when they were growing up.

From Wikipedia:

"The modern car—a practical, marketable automobile for everyday use—was invented in 1886, when the German inventor Carl Benz patented his Benz Patent-Motorwagen. Commercial cars became widely available during the 20th century. The 1901 Oldsmobile Curved Dash and the 1908 Ford Model T, both American cars, are widely considered the first mass-produced and mass-affordable cars, respectively."

(First gasoline car at all was 1808 though)

So this was at most around 21 years after the Model T. For anyone much older than that, cars would have been rare at best when they were young.

Some apps show as incompatible with my tablet (Lenovo Y700 Gen 2) even though they work fine. I can often share those from my phone directly in the Play Store.

The article says I could use Files going forward, but it doesn't work - Quick Share is missing entirely on the tablet and I haven't found a way to enable/install it

Naturally it's a feature I actually use.

Boost does not open them when tapped, flashing an error instead.

There are unfortunately some subreddits which are still the best place to find timely info about certain topics - for example video game subs run by the developers of the game. Lemmit is a way to subscribe to those while not giving Reddit any more "engagement" or ad views.

The bot that runs Lemmit only posts on its own instance, so users like me only see it when we subscribe explicitly (or the All view I guess, but that's a mixed bag already. Edit: and each user could choose to ban it if they want)
