Those use Jet-A which is just diesel/kerosene without the additives

Yep, 37 here.
I found Digg just before the Exodus and hung around Reddit for a decade or so then split during the Reddit blackout.

Neither, I never used Twitter in the first place so I didn’t need a Twitter alternative.
I think the Lemmy/Reddit style of posts and comments is much more intuitive and makes for easier engagement than the Twitter style of rolling status updates.

Couldn’t help myself

Mommy Milkers!

The plan was the bomb Germany with it first, Japan only got the bombs because we weren’t going to not use them once we had them.

The taste of their food and the beauty of their women made them the best sailors in the world.

I live in rural Ohio and I drive about 40 miles (65 km) round trip a day just getting to and from work, and that’s pretty average for a rural area.

The nearest grocery store and back is about a 15 mile (25 km) round trip.

In the rural areas, which account for most of the land area of the US, things are far enough apart that it makes it impossible to survive without a vehicle.

By sacrificing emissions.
You can get more power per stroke if you don’t care about emissions, and that can get you a better fuel economy, but you may fail your local e-check if it’s tuned.

Volkswagen got in trouble for designing their cars to change the engine tuning when it detected it was connected to a testing rig.

I live in rural Ohio and everything is far away, I’m about 2hrs from Cleveland, 2hrs from Columbus, and 2hrs from Pittsburgh, so about 2hrs drive is my limit because that’s about as far as I’d have to go in any case.

YouTube didn’t exist until after I graduated high school

If it were supposed to be pronounced “jif” it would have been spelled that way, I don’t give two fucks what Stephen Wilhite said about it either.

If I were in charge, I assume I would be the one making people fall out of Windows, no?

They are fantastic for spoken audio like audiobooks and podcasts by themselves, if you’re using them in combination with earplugs they work a lot better for music because you get the low bass sounds that you would miss without the ear plugs.

Social media has barely been around for 20 years, we kept in contact with those we wanted to just fine before it. But now with social media you’re in contact with all of them all the time, even the ones you aren’t particularly excited to see once a year on the holidays.

Half of that is why I ditched it in the first place

No mixed feelings here, just heaps of disappointment.

I have all of the Nigel Planer versions of discworld and have been putting off the new versions for exactly the same reason lol. And maybe we should look into a book club lol I saw roadkill by Dennis e Taylor is likely to get a sequel too, I enjoyed that one as well

It’s probably a toss up between the Discworld series and the Bobiverse series.

Edit: for standalone book it would probably be Project Hail Mary.
