    They've been editing him a lot too, comparing your bottle with the OP photo they removed half his cape and slimmed up his legs... for whatever reason they're trying to reduce complexity and bulk overall. Maybe make him less "larger than life" and associated "toxic masculinity / XTREME" 90s-00s imagery going back to what, ya know, actual wrestlers and pirates and stuff would've looked like (minus the business collar)

    Even then, a basic soap like Dr Bronners or your favorite "hand soap" does well for most of your body. People ask my wife how her hair is so amazing, she just washes it every couple days instead of every day and sometimes has some light argan oil or something to reduce frizz. Washing hair (especially long hair) every day damages it no matter what you're doing. The most important thing is to scrub your scalp really good.

    But when "real estate investors" buy up all available properties and raise the prices that's just sacred free market competition, right?

    Almost like in a totally free market your right to collect profit is balanced by my right to find ways to not spend my money 🤔

    Being laughed at for how your body is is one thing, being laughed at for buying a fascist's ChildishCompensationMobile is another. It's a choice to buy Jeff Bezos' $100,000 Dick Mobile and drive it around like you're cool, it's another to... try and exist? As best you can? Corporeally?

    Like no I don't need to worry about the feelings of anyone who gives Trump money and allegiance. They made bad choices that materially affect me (how many Twitters can these guys buy up and turn into a KKK Safe Place with this money?) and I can tell them they suck for it. Completely not the same as giving redheads swirlies.

    Like, for context I also give distainful looks at poor drivers in BMWs and Benzes: obviously money didn't give them sense. So yes I'll laugh at anyone giving Musk money after knowing his true colors.

    If you want a map swiss army knife, OsmAnd is very very good. If you don't, then yeah it's way too complex for what should be basic tasks. And developers refuse to do stuff like allow US-style address order search (requiring reverse order only)

    I absolutely hate this situation and I was going to write a whole thing about how we wouldn't do the same thing if an upstanding husband and father was convicted of murder, except oh yes people literally actually do do the same thing. You'll literally have letters written like "he made a mistake but he has kids at home please go easy on him" as if actual murder isn't a pretty big disqualifier.

    I guess we humans have a blind spot to the most common sins versus the mythical perfect criminal who spits on babies and hails satan...

    Yeah but I've interacted with it a lot and most of my interaction is commands sent through one of their programs. Versus scripts like init.d whose contents I can easily inspect and modify. Init scripts aren't config files, they're directly executable code.

    All contracts are negotiable, you did nothing wrong other than not having a conversation before wasting paper, the main issue is that for most people the negotiation is "if you want to work here you have to agree to all this."

    But yeah reasonable accommodation and mutual understandings, etc, should be written down and signed. I challenged the non-disclosure agreement at my job once because it literally said I couldn't talk about my work with ANYONE, and a plain reading of it would mean I'd be unable to even talk to my boss about what I was supposed to be doing. It was poorly written and probably unenforceable. My boss didn't like that so I signed it anyway and then focused on finding work elsewhere (he was a dick and his company got raided by the FBI a few years later)

    Mastodon is what you make it and it can be hard to find the community you want. I promise there's plenty of Japanese art (maybe try pixelfed, friendica, diaspora?) and you can/should unfollow people who just talk about stuff you don't care about.

    It goes without saying but missing a wing is one of the main things that planes are designed never to do, so either they didn't catch the part where the wing exploded or you've got some serious sabotage going on

    Locus uses Openstreetmap data by default, what parts of CyclOSM and OSMAnd do you like? If you want to plan and import a route you probably want to export and then import a GPX file.

    To add the CyclOSM map tiles as a layer, you do need to follow the instructions here

    https://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:advanced:customization:online_maps

    Using the tile server url displayed when you click the "i" information button on https://www.cyclosm.org

    It used to be that everything in Linux was a file, ideally a text file, so if you could find the right file you could access or change what you wanted. Systemd is a big program that manages a bunch of stuff and creates unique commands within its programs for doing so, which moves away from that principle and turns system management into what feels a bit more microsofty (like the registry editor program vs editing config files, etc) and a lot of people don't like that. But to its credit, it does solve a few problems with cobbling together a modern system that doesn't suck.

    That photo is from a film about neanderthals. The phrase "unga bunga" has its earliest known usage in a Bugs Bunny short mocking Aborigines, but it's a generic enough phrase that I'm not sure you can write off the entire phrase as racist against Aborigines: any nonsense word could be used in its place and I'm not sure anyone creating or sharing the meme has actually watched that Bugs Bunny clip from 1950. It's just a nonsense phrase used to indicate low intelligence or nonsense. Given that the photo is of a neanderthal, I think anyone seeing the meme will understand that it's supposed to mean "a caveman would be confused by this" and not about any particular group of modern or indigenous humans. Most usages of the meme imply that the poster themselves is the confused one, so I don't think a racist would find it very funny to post something like that.

    Given that the words "unga" and "bunga" have existed in print since at least 1700 AD, I'm not sure we can point to that one Bugs cartoon as the definitive and only definition of that particular nonsense phrase. https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=unga%2C+bunga&year_start=1500&year_end=2019&corpus=en-2019&smoothing=3

The Salem Area Mass Transit District, known as Cherriots, has received an additional $6.6 million from the Federal Transit Administration which will allow for an additional five buses.

District officials declined to comment further.
