Unbefugte Personen auf der Strecke, Polizei schon informiert und immerhin werden wir wohl an einem Bahnsteig halten und man kann vielleicht etwas frische Luft schnappen
@Larymir seit ich mal erlebt habe das ein Zug ohne jede Vorwarnung weitergefahren ist hab ich da paranoia (und ja, es wurde vorher durchgesagt das man zum Rauchen oder Luft schnappen auf den Bahnsteig darf)...
@douglasvb is that the gas station at Del Monte near the Hwy 1 on-ramp?
And damn, that’s pricey for Monterey! I always expect it to be a bit cheaper there.
@sysop408 no it's the one at Munras and Soledad (near whole foods).

Strange that it doesn’t show for me when I check, must be a mobile issue of some kind.
Still laughable though, TIL it’s bigoted to suggest the #1 perpetrators of digital warfare are probably committing more digital warfare.

(b) this is totally anecdotal, but as someone who has been teaching computer programming to adults for ~20yrs or so, the biggest obstacle that students face is not that the material is difficult (even when it *is* difficult), but that students are *culturally predisposed to a belief that they're not smart enough to program*, which acts as a permission structure for giving up. (this is peculiar, because no one having trouble in a knitting class thinks "i guess i'm not smart enough to knit")

(c) programmers are predisposed to convincing others that programming is too complicated for "normal people" as a means of job security and achieving social status; computer manufacturers and their software-making friends are predisposed to a marketing message that states: computers are too difficult for normal people, so buy this new machine/software, which is finally the computer/software that normal people can use! together both sides form a kind of mutual ratchet imo
Yes.

@jeffjarvis Definitely, but if they can’t impeach Pete Hegseth, that door seems closed until January.

the appointment of miller as CoS, jordan as minority leader, and this vote do seem to indicate that the insanity spiral of GOP/WH is continuing for now.
it's been a long two years, hopefully we can keep things cobbled together two months until we have a chance at a functional congress again.
if the democratic caucus don't see how critical getting useful leadership in house/senate are vital and that appeasement isn't an option, they are clueless.
I think EMF is the only band people remember from the "Manchester Sound" from the early 90s
@spottyfox I always remember that one song "UnBULLievaBULL". 🐂
There was a time when this was the slogan of #Google

And now their "Evil" has manifested itself into destroying natural habitats for wildlife, and leaving the land scarred for life, to build fucking data centers.

This is the cheapest I've seen in Monterey, California in a while for gas. There's no diesel at this station so I can't make that comparison.

@apps
If the app ID is the same then F-Droid shows them in its own "installed apps" list. Depending on signage you may or may not be able to update them with the F-Droid version
@Progenitus
Yes, such an app could also check if the signing key is different, and warn that you need to uninstall the Google Play version first.
