Grass does make flowers; they’re just typically really small (unless it’s something we’ve bred to be big, like corn or wheat).

For example, bermudagrass in flower:

Only thing it didn’t have like the Basilisk was BT functionality, which in my use case wasn’t a deal breaker.

Batteries are kind of a deal-breaker for me anyway. If I were to get a wireless mouse, it would have to be the kind that’s powered by induction from the mouse pad.

I also like my Redragon mouse, a “Griffin M602A-RGB”. I picked it entirely because (a) the shape fits my hand well, with well-sculpted indentations for my thumb, ring, and pinky fingers, and (b) it’s cheap, but not so cheap it isn’t still decent.

I’m surprised there aren’t massive protests scheduled for July 4.

Is it “assassination” when he’s a legitimate military target?

Could very well be. I’m using OpenWRT and basically did the bare minimum to get it to work.

It seems high as Lemm.ee had 1k daily active users for the last week.

What’s the count from the week before the shutdown announcement?

Yeah, it’s only anecdotal but I feel like hobbyists like us, who do slightly unusual things without nefarious intent, who are the ones who get hit with these sorts of issues the most. For example, I’ve noticed that some websites start throwing captchas at me or even just straight-up refuse to load with 403: unauthorized errors because I have my router set up to load-balance across two Internet connections. (At least, that’s my guess as to why it’s happening.)

Somewhere in there there’s a step “come up with the most sociopathic business plan possible.”

Who cares? It’s not as if the dipshits who need to hear it would know the difference anyway.

If they also have a teaching position, they might get a tiny tiny bit from the university, but that’s it.

Granted this is a best-case scenario, but the salaries for profs at my alma-mater (a public tier 1 research university) are public and I looked one of them up once. He was getting well into six-figures for teaching classes.

I mean, yes, but no. I hate (and I mean really, really hate) to admit it, but the success of all the right-wing propaganda as of late has made it undeniable that perception is very capable of creating reality.

You if bugs didn’t exist:

(Grasses are angiosperms and rely on bugs to reproduce.)

That sounds less like clickbait and more an object lesson in the importance of copyleft to me.

Your question is like asking how to convert a cake into flour, sugar, milk, butter and (unbroken!) eggs.

I was going to mention that this was one of the reasons I like going to the last remaining drive-in theater in my area, since it doesn’t do that. Then I realized that it’s been quite a while since I’ve seen a movie there, and decided to check what’s playing. 3 of the 4 “now playing” movies and 13 out of 15 “coming soon” movies are sequels or reboots. And now I’m mildly infuriated, too.

I think he’s just taking the opportunity to point out that Amazon is committing tax evasion by fraudulently misclassifying those employees as contractors.

Sell or get subpoena’d; tomayto, tomahto.

I mean non-Free Software.

When trying to explain that concept, I like showing people this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tc4ROCJYbm0&t=296
