This all sounded great until the word "catheter"!

then I crossed my legs, and knocked my computer on the floor.

If they're concerned with that, they should *avoid* Microsoft, unless they are going to keep an old machine with each version forever.

Historically, staroffice/libreoffice/openoffice has done a *better* job than ms of reading prior versions of ms documents.

but you're not removing that interest--you'er just changing who pays for it.

"public finance" isn't free, nor does it mean that the money doesn't get borrowed. Rather, the net increase in public debt is the amount paid out by the government.

I just submitted bug report FB18359754 for this.

>On 6/24/25, wallet pushed a notification for movie tickets. This is in error because both:

>2) this should have been blocked by the privacy system.

>Public financing or 1% loans will almost entirely cut that cost.

no, that doesn't change the cost *at all*.

It simply changes who pays that cost. It may or may not make sense for the public to pay it, but it still gets paid.

actually, running them on bus routes at bus prices might be a practical options.

Run a half dozen of these at five minute intervals rather than a bus every half hour and mass transit suddenly becomes more practical and attractive.

One key question is how many you can run for the cost of one bus.

The long intervals are a major factor in making bus travel practical in all but the densest cities in the US.

So is the inability to automatically electrocute disruptive morons, but that's for another topic.

err, that's worse than being hospitalized for food poisoning?

>(dying temporarily reduces the speed to a lower level).

It's been decades, but I don't remember dye packets being something you could pick up in pacman. And how would you apply one once you had it?

in fairness, the return trip doesn't seem to be anything to write, err, get home about . . .

eh, that depends upon how corrupt^h^h^h^h^h^h^h good your accountant is.

not to mention the astronauts!

No, these are axolotl.

The Spiderman villain becomes *you*, and you end up in a tank.

Doesn't anyone read their Cortazar anymore?

the obvious solution is to separate the two links with a semicolon!

Yeah, I barely use the site anymore because by default it does exactly what I don't want it to do. I want to see friend posts, in a timely manner.

What I get is mostly slop videos and trash, the odd friend post from sometime in the past week, etc.
