About as wide as my oversized fridge.

Can't wait to get rid of that shit and have something that actually fits in my kitchen.

Me replacing GNU coreutils with the rust ones.

That doesn't get you a good text editor. That just gets you emacs with two bad next editors.

Mostly the difference between PlayStation games and N64 games was whether they came with a bunch of CD-quality audio tracks.

Because they know by doing that they can both get engagement and someone else to find the best quality version for them.

My experience with Apple has been more like

I credit Apple in many ways for their choice to design their business in a way that their profit motive often aligns with their users' interests.

Their app store model for iOS is one of the strongest examples of them not doing that though.

Cat people are pretty self-sufficient. Normally food, water and a few cats are all they need, and they'll come to you for attention. If you have two cat people there's a good chance of them forming a bonded pair, too. More than two cat people and they'll often socialise together.

Oh there are plenty of incredibly racist Anglophone South Africans - no denying that. It's just that there's nothing he could do to make the Afrikaner Nationalists welcome him because he's not an Afrikaner by blood.

As a generalisation, the racist white South Africans also tend to have an English/Afrikaans tribalism that provokes tension, while the non-racist ones also tend not to give a damn about that tribalism either. The same is somewhat (but not entirely) true of racist black South Africans, and honestly that distrust amongst the various racist groups is a major reason that South Africa has been able to make so much progress.

Spot the deep cuts.

 

I have to say, Socotra is my favourite coffee shop in A2, and yet the Daily doesn't even mention it.

This is great! The site, despite being right near downtown, has been blighted and basically abandoned for over a decade.

 

Personally I think this is a great thing! I've been carrying narcan kits in my car and on my bike for years now. Fortunately I've never had a need to use one, but that also means I now have an expired narcan kit I need to discard.
