with the ever present threat of hurricanes

That may be true for Florida, but that’s not really relevant for northern California/PNW/many, many other parts of the world…

Yeah, I feel like the right has such a black-and-white/zero nuance view of things. So then the left goes and does the same thing!

My sense is that these A*AB movements are really trying to say, “the institution of X is fundamentally flawed,” and that’s something I agree with definitely. But it’s worded provocatively, which is just…assinine. Like, the little old lady who would be priced out of her home if not for renting out a room to a college kid, below market value? Yeah total bastard…

Is there any consensus as to the internal organs/stuff which maybe doesn’t fossilize well? Like, did they just evolve a bitchin’ chassis but they’re constantly tinkering with the internal bits?

Other comment says there is a way from inside, just not outside (which doesn’t help with a young kid/toddler/baby is the inside passenger of course).

Either way, glad this is “only” a huge embarrassment, and not a dead kid.

I think in a developed nation, “veganism” almost always connotes some amount of health consciousness, which can be expensive. Different, I imagine, in rice-and-lentils developing parts of the world.

AFAIK Oreos, sour patch kids, taco bell bean burritos, and McD’s French fries are vegan…but they’re not associated with “vegan culture.”

Edit: strike through fries

I’m vegetarian and mostly keep to a vegan diet.

I guess my experience has been that those things are mentioned more as novelties, as in, “hey crazy thing but instead of kale chips you can eat sour patch kids!” But that’s just my experience.

IIRC mine (as an employee, not HR) verified some stuff on my CV (education details I think).

Maybe. Or this will play out like Slack and IRC.

Initially, Slack integrated with IRC. Which was great! It meant I could use xchat to talk with folks, and could set up simple bots using standard IRC tools.

And then Slack killed that feature…but it absolutely didn’t kill IRC, because die hard IRC users never cared about Slack in the first place.

My prediction is it’ll be the same — what sort of people will be attracted to Threads vs a smaller “proper” instance? Probably the sort of people who would never consider a federated platform in the first place.

Just speculation and I could certainly be wrong…

Absolutely.

Slack killed IRC integration mid 2018.

What exactly did Slack “allow” though? The continued existence of an ancient protocol with a niche but dedicated following of predominantly “old school” tech people?
