5 is frames from a chill, slice-of-life animated feature: "4 heads are better than 1".

I think it is reasonable not to want to wait until mid-terms. Given my location and familial duties, I don't think I can effectively protest, but I agree with the efforts of people that choose to.

Given the utter incompetence on display so far, I at least don't think the Trump administration will be able to do away with or ignore the mid-term results. That said, unless the mid-term results are truly impressive, I don't think a (third) impeachment will result in an end to the Trump administration and the beginning of a Vance one.

Be safe out there.

I don't know why, but this made me audibly giggle. I'm not sure if it's Charon's confusion in the penultimate panel, or the possum's gleeful/eager expression in the ultimate one.

PR, DC, Guam, American Samoa, definitely others I don't have on the top of my mind. Are the Marshal Islands inhabitable, again?

Eh, I had to take my Saturn (previous vehicle) to the dealer several times. The car before that was ruined by a "shade-tree" mechanic, so when I lived in the same city as the dealer I preferred that.

I'm with you on right-to-reapir tho. It would have been better if the diagnostic methods and parts were available from other than the dealer (and maybe they were and the local guy just didn't want to mess with it, doesn't do a lot of EVs at his shop). But my experience with cars is mostly that dealers have that advantage whether you go electric or not, and I prefer electric.

Still let me know if I can do something to improve right to repair for me or others.

IME, (2019 Volt) maintenance costs are lower with a PHEV. I have needed to take it to a dealer to deal with a OBD2 code that neither I nor my local mechanic could resolve, but the replacement part and labor was reasonably priced.

https://git-annex.branchable.com/todo/Bittorrent-like_features/ -- Use IPFS as a special git-annex remote, and it will be nearly impossible to execute a take-down.

If you have other "decentralized filesystems" that have "better" behavior than IPFS, you might see if joeyh or yourself can add them as other special remotes.

I see editability as generally an improvement, especially since the older versions are still visible with a couple of clicks. Reddit titles are not editable. Tweets used to be uneditable; toots are.

Yeah, one of the setbacks is that I have to spend more time at home with my disabled family member, so I couldn't make it to the gym as frequently.

I have gotten stuck at some "plateaus" before, and this ~100kg is one I've been at before. It took me nearly 3 months of discipline to break through it last time. I have to quit cheating as often, and not give up again.

Feral vs tame

My profile indirectly discloses that. I don't think it matters much for the story, but I am a cis white male.

Yeah, I'm still obese. I almost got down to overweight, I was within 3kg, but... I've had/been some setbacks. By height + BMI, I should be targeting 165lbs. / 75kg, but I'm still finding it impossible to stick to a diet that provides a calorie deficit. (I have in the past, but don't seem to now.)

My physical health is better by basically any metric. I encourage anyone that is overweight to lose it.
