You should really fix the fuel leak for your own safety. Huffing fuel isn't great for your brain.

I'd say you should go find a Windows 95 ISO or some DOS floppy images in one of the usual locations, I don't think Microsoft is going to come after you for running their old software they don't sell any more on their new software. Ironically though, it will probably run better in someone else's software (like dosbox) than under any solution they've ever sold or given away that is supposed to let you run it on modern Windows. I've heard that DOS doesn't run well in Hyper-V. I can confirm that Windows 95 is hard to run most places, but Windows 98 is easy enough. For some reason 95 is just picky/flaky enough that it doesn't often run reliably in a virtual machine, even with fairly careful choice of "hardware", but 98 is easy in QEMU or whatever.

Mostly they need to stop using NCM batteries. It's not true that LFPs cannot burn or anything silly like that, but they are inherently less likely to do so.

Then of course there's the other advantages of LFP, especially that they also age better. That is, they both can do more cycles, and suffer less from calendar age. And then there's that they contain no nickel or cobalt...

I can't speak for rs but for me I really care about the tire dust and any other toxic pollution, because the whole idea of breathing tires is gross. And also, I already have asthma, and don't need to exacerbate that.

What's worse, I live right on a former rail line. The rail is mostly still there, but also mostly worthless, and realistically it's not coming back except maybe if there's an extended war on US soil. And if there was light rail there, which is more or less physically possible though it certainly won't happen, then I would absolutely use it to go across the county.

I agree that there are tons of Linux distributions which don't include vi at all out of the box, and they do indeed default to using nano as the editor. I will follow this up by saying that this is an absolutely reasonable thing to do. Nobody who is not expecting to use a genuine glass terminal has a great reason to learn any vi variant today, unless they want to play nethack without using the number pad for movement and want to practice using vi keys. Nobody should ever find themselves in vi without knowing what they're doing, the poor fuckers. I disconnected to get out of it more than once before I got someone to explain to me how to use it by pointing me to a quick reference.

Yes, I do still use vim when I want to edit in the console, I used to use vi even on DOS. No, I don't use it the rest of the time, mousing in gvim is cumbersome and I no longer love fiddling with software settings so honestly I don't even care if it can be fixed, I'd rather keep things minimally reconfigured to do the job I want done.

The DOS version did. The Windows 95 version didn't, because 95 didn't install with qbasic. (It would run fine if you copied it from DOS, though, and ofc especially if you dropped into DOS mode which was just actually DOS. Also wasn't it on the CD or something?
(research occurs)
yes, qbasic was on the Windows 95 A CD in other\oldmsdos.)

As mentioned elsewhere, per 100,000 cars, ICE powered vehicles catch fire more often than EVs.

This may be of interest, so I'll share it...

This doesn't mean that EV fires aren't important, it's just that they seem to happen less often (per 100,000 cars) than ICE-powered vehicles. There are other citations, some newer, but I just grabbed the first one from Google.

EV fires still suck to get under control, especially for small volunteer fire departments without a lot of money to upgrade what they have. EV fires still release some pretty awful stuff - but so don't ICE-powered vehicles.

No.

I used iTunes to do it once, that was a huge enough pain in the ass. It's also ironic, because I actually used iTunes on Windows as my music player for just a second, because there was one version that worked well and looked nice. I only had an iPod for one moment. I hated both the interface and the bulk of it, and got rid of it. Now of course I have a big bulky phone, if you count the case.

I'm sure of that, too. But it was certainly still supposed to sell devices by reminding people that they could get popular music like U2 on them and not just some internet kid bullshit, when it wound up of course really pointing out that it's not your device when it showed up.

In the USA, it's extremely variable. As it turns out, it is up to localities to institute noise controls or not. In some places they exist and are aggressively enforced, like the cops will come out with a decibel meter. In others they don't exist, and then there's everything in between.

In my teeny tiny city (which it is, legally) the statute says that for the most part it has to be intentionally offensive to be actionable. This is an extremely inadequate standard, and yet also expected for this extremely country locale. History is no guide here however, because this town also used to be the center of moonshining and whoring, and was once mostly burned down by an unattended still. Today it is a mostly peaceful and mostly family-oriented burg, but there are a handful of offensively loud activities which regularly occur up to and including in-town gas chainsawing of stumps at the parking lot of a local tree service, which is extremely near my home. There are also a number of apparently micropenised "you need to hear my bass at potentially any hour" chucklefucks who I would gratefully yeet directly into orbit given the opportunity.

Additional anecdote, yet long story short, one time my prior neighbor went out drinking and left his music on full blast from about 11:00 am until 11pm, at which point I finally called the cops. I inquired as to the potential legality of simply turning off the power, and the response was to the effect that they were leaving and didn't have a problem with it being turned off, but I ultimately declined and they seem to have known him well enough to get a message to him and have him come home and face the music. And yeah, they call it a "city".

We have the largest population in the country by a significant margin and around a quarter of our homeless came here from other states. Personally I think that the number should be considered to be higher since it includes people who moved here for jobs that weren't sufficiently stable to move for, and people who were self employed but it didn't pan out. People literally come here because they know they will be able to get social services. This is enabled by other states being allowed to refuse to implement social services.

A reasonable fix for this would be to eliminate the electoral college so that if other states want to have a say in elections, they should have to make their states not total fucking shitholes so everyone doesn't want to leave.

It's not arbitrary, it's designed to sell more PCs for their partners, who will include more Windows licenses, producing more revenue for both parties.

This happens when you're asleep? So a power event can destroy both your storage and the backup?

You got your causation in my correlation!
