“DOT EXEPT”

I got my license in the early 80’s, and at that time the cheapest cars were older american beaters with utterly terrible 2 and 3-speed slushbox automatics. The alternative were Japanese cars like Honda Civics, small, reliable, manual transmission cars that got great gas mileage and were way more fun to drive. All these years later I’m still driving a manual, currently a 2021 Toyota Corolla. It’s paid for, it gets around 35 mpg, and with regular maintenance it will run until the end of time.

I know American cars have improved a lot since the malaise era but you generally can’t get them with manual transmissions, so I’ll stick with the imports for now.

I’m guessing the Harris campaign wants muted mikes as well and are manipulating the very stable genius into going along…

I used Boost for reddit for years, so I switched Boost for Lemmy as soon as it became available. It’s not free, iirc it was $3 or $4, but it works well and I’ve had zero issues with it.

We’ve had the youtube premium family bundle for several years, mostly for android auto in our cars. I switched to Firefox around that time as well but found it didn’t work as well for youtube. So I compromised by using Chrome for youtube and Firefox for everything else. I will continue this way for the time being, but honestly getting rid of Chrome completely would not be a big deal at this point.

I used Boost for years on Reddit and switched to that as soon as the Lemmy version was released. It’s stable and works well.

fuck() {
    sudo $(fc -ln -1)
} 

This function takes the last command and puts sudo in front of it. Actually used it in a zoom call at work without thinking and it took a second to realize why everyone was laughing. Not my invention–came across it years ago on stackoverflow or someplace and thought it was funny/useful.
