Could be like my neighborhood and that’s the closest ‘general store’ around. Of course unlike there we’ve got an actual grocery store and other services not much farther but you get the idea.

I’m neighbors with my gas station/liquor store combo but the bus service makes almost the whole town in my reach… Furthermore I can’t think of a single place that isn’t walkable if you’re willing to cover the distance at least here. City limits hit and pedestrian access stop.

First thought exactly.

Plus it would surprise me little if an economy motor had a hard time pushing a supercar frame and body.

Went to my town’s farmer’s market this morning. No dead businesses there, hell they seem to love it.

Don’t really drive anymore so no idea. If I did it probably would’ve been within the last 24 hours as at least in this neighborhood the bug problem has gotten atrocious bordering on apocalyptic. My fellow bicycle riders have advised me not to open my mouth on the trail lest ye get an involuntary protein supplement.

I just like making chit chat with deepseek, that’s about it for me and AI.

Throw the finance guys out and I’m sitting next to the mariachi band. Hell if it works like my local bus I’ll miss my stop and take the loop back around.

Well first and foremost find yourself a distro you like, I’d suggest something Debian based if your just starting out but no judgement if you want to so to speak jump in the deep end. After that you’ll grab a .iso file from wherever said distro keeps such things and you’ll need to learn how to ‘burn’ that to either a USB drive or a regular disc if you want to do it old school. Then you’ll need to learn how to get to either the boot menu or BIOS on your computer in order to get it to start from the new OS you’ve just plugged in. After that the install menu on the new distro should walk you through the rest. Don’t worry, I know it sounds foreboding but I first did it as a kid, it’s easier than it looks.

I’m foreseeing a spike in people asking me for help installing Linux.

VOLUNTEER firefighter? That sounds like woke socialist bullshit to me, should’ve smited him instead. /s

What amazes me is the venn diagram of people who think the other countries were going to pay for the tariffs and the people who think we can’t have healthcare because the rich will just pass the taxes down to us is a circle.

I may have gotten too high for this one…

That seems relatively fast but I honestly can’t be assed to research Catholic bureaucratic history.

You scared the fuck out of me.

Selling research chemicals definitely counts.

Ok but the grippy socks legitimately rock, I usually get a pair every trip to the hospital and you bet your ass I keep them.

Man I must’ve really hit my head when I fell the other day because I thought that headline said Israeli soldiers blew up a building in Gaza as a gender reveal.

Well that feels targeted.

Practical answer, fits in places trees may not. Pessimistic answer, fits in some guys cyberpunk ass vision for what he wants his office block to look like.
