Anyone who cannot understand that a useful science can be built on stunt hacking will not understand my life, either. All we have is each other. To change everything, start anywhere.

Neurotypicals hear that ASD folks are "rule followers" and think that means we'll follow a rule just because the rule exists when the reality is that we adhere strictly to rules *that make sense to us* and ignore rules that don't.

β€œThe thin blue line between civilization and anarchy”, and all that.

This is why joyful art about mutual aid is so important!

And when I say β€œLinux desktops” really I mean β€œchrome or Firefox running on Linux”.

My laptop is totally normal Ubuntu and day to day things hardly use even 4GB of RAM, except for web browsers. Web browsers get hungry.

Basically. Last I saw, MacOS builds were done with compiler flags that minimize memory use (e.g. choose space in space-or-time trade-offs), and it’s pretty aggressive about compressing pages that aren’t in active use.

But I worry that tricks like that can only go so far.

MacOS does a lot better with low RAM than Windows or Linux desktops, cuz of fairy magic.

Still, it’s a pittance.

I want to love the Neo but worry about how long 8GB RAM will be adequate. Because of that I’d only recommend it as a secondary machine.

I’d say go for any used or refurbished Apple Silicon Mac with 16GB or more of RAM.

I remember when Russ Darrow (the skeezy Madison car dealership guy) was running against him.

An artist made up little β€œFeingold” stickers in the right size and shape to go over β€œDarrow” on the β€œRuss Darrow” stickers all over cars in town. If you came to his studio he would even sign your car!

I know people are very sensitive about the use of the word β€œgenocide” but the attempts to medically eliminate trans children is very clearly meets the standard because they are trying to eliminate a population and also they know some of those kids are going to kill themselves

Do you know that with a bit of clearancing for the rods, you can put a 4.2 crank into a 4.0 block? You get a 4.7L engine with a torque curve that is basically the question β€œis the engine running?” 🀩

Some folks have moved the entire powertrain from a late 1990s Jeep Cherokee into an AMC Eagle (it mostly just fits, cuz of continuity of engineering) and it’s truly a thing of beauty πŸ₯Ί
