    Anyone else feel like there's a prevailing culture of people who are afraid of learning new skills in the US these days? :(

    Was trying to mount something to our foyer's wall with anchors that hold onto the back of the drywall, and was having a really bad time because there's concrete only ½" behind said drywall. Gave up after an hour and will try drywall plugs instead. :(

    Feels like a lot of people don't understand the value of balance and cohesion. :(

    When you come across something that you've forgotten about and that you've barely ever used, that might be a sign that getting it in the first place wasn't the best idea. 🤔

    Large crossovers are basically minivans without the sliding doors.

    Winter really sucks. And most of the "Winter" holiday season takes place at the end of Autumn, so they're not really Winter holidays to me. :(

    Anyone else notice that #systemd is antithetical to the #Unix Philosophy? 🤔

    I wish Toyota would bring the J70 Land Cruiser to the US. I wonder if the Chicken Tax ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_tax ) is part of why they don't. 🤔

    1. Chicken tax
      The Chicken Tax is a 25 percent tariff on light trucks (and originally on potato starch, dextrin, and brandy) imposed in 1964 by the United States under President Lyndon B. Johnson in response to tariffs placed by France and West Germany on importation of U.S. chicken. The period from 1961 to 1964 of tensions and negotiations surrounding the issue was known as the "Chicken War", taking place at the height of Cold War politics.Eventually, the tariffs on potato starch, dextrin, and brandy were lifted, but since 1964 this form of protectionism has remained in place to give US domestic automakers an advantage over imported competitors. Though concern remains about its repeal, a 2003 Cato Institute study called the tariff "a policy in search of a rationale."As an unintended consequence, several importers of light trucks have circumvented the tariff via loopholes, known as tariff engineering. For example, Ford, which was one of the main beneficiaries of the tax, also evaded it by manufacturing first-generation Transit Connect light trucks for the US market in Turkey; these Transits were fitted-out as passenger vehicles, which allowed...

    The fact that car companies are selling boxier and more angular designs today shows that the toy-like smooth compound curves of the 1990s and 2000s were a mistake. 🤔

    Just had to four second salute my iMac because it ran out of RAM and the GUI was unresponsive.

    No matter how much #Apple fanboys praise their products, a computer is still a computer. :/
