Despite being a shitty president and an overall fool, he actually had a way with words. Remember 2017?

>Former President George W. Bush reportedly thought President Trump’s inauguration speech “was some weird shit.”

Then sit back and film the people returning the carts for the quarter. Put it on YouTube and profit.

The actual trashcan will survive 1 mm of rain.

Also, this picture of the cybercan really shows the incredibly disgusting design. Nevermind the straight lines and outline, even if it’s stupid and all, it is fine, but then look at that unaligned front corner… god damn that’s bad design. It’s like two designers were working from the front and the back and had to meet their lines somewhere. It’s like a 2D design being transferred to 3D and then instead of looking at the third axis, they just snapped it to fit.

The measurements are completely out of proportion too.

And while I’m at it, those pentagonal angled wheel fenders, it’s pretty clear that the designer department hadn’t run out of available angles to use. Oh, you’re using a palette of angles? Well, here’s the wheel fenders going by system default truncated to a pentagon, no or maybe it’s a hexagon being cut above the middle. Who cares… It looks like shit.

Edit: Having looked at the picture twice, I’d appreciate if you could also take a moment to appreciate the design of the trashcan. The slightly angled sides have a purpose. It makes it easier to avoid anything getting stuck when emptied and if fitted with a bag it’d come out without a massive pressure from the vacant air that would be in a fully vertical sided can.

The angles on the top also serves a purpose. It can be accessed from any angle, unlike trashcans that have vertical or horizontal openings. The push opening mechanism simply works better this way and naturally swings back to balance without adding a spring. In case a malicious person were to position trash to obstruct it, it can be pushed from either side and realign after the next user. The only thing I could ask more was if it was round.

Also, the car is not available in Europe. Not for the usual reasons like because of the engine, the weight, the milage or the safety for the driver. No. It was not allowed because the design is shit. It was not approved because its design is unsafe for anyone nearby.

I still feel hurt by just looking at it, but here’s the thing: I understand why the designers couldn’t make it better… There’s no purpose for this car.

How can you design for something that doesn’t have a fucking purpose?! Yeah sure we’d all like an electric van, but this is soooo far from fulfilling that purpose. The bed is to too small to carry a fucking Christmas tree. There are already much better electric vans available for less.

The only purpose of the cyberdumb and all of Tesla’s vehicles is in the design. Mission Failed.

That explains Elon Musk. He’s a job creator, right? Destroyer of everything.

It also means that the people who do leave the shopping cart in places without the deposit are the kind of cheapskates who can be bought for a euro. They’re only neutral evil.

True chaotic evil assholes would pay the deposit on several carts only to leave them.

It’s filtered, but that’s it.

Drillings aren’t allowed near graveyards or other polluted properties.

The reason for restrictions in Denmark is to protect our clean ground water. If people could just place dead corpses or ashes everywhere, the drinking water would be polluted with heavy metals and other chemicals.

Perhaps someone could make a business of it then.

Chromebooks sold well enough. Google made $30 billion on that in 2023.

Anyone willing to put together a physical Linux machine, market and support it could take a chunk of that.

It would be nice if it was possible to simply go to a website, check off on the stuff you want and then get a full package.

I liked the idea of AV Linux, because it comes in a bundle of stuff that I need, but it also comes with a lot stuff that I don’t need, and I’m not sure the desktop is my choice. It also didn’t really work at the time I tried it.(Some years ago).

So… if I, a stupid user, could simply go to a website, check mark at the desktop, check off which office package, music apps, browser, etc.etc. and then get a download of that in one go where it’s all set-up and works, it would be a lot easier than having to go through the process of installing the OS and then installing/removing apps, and then making it work…

Like, let’s say I want a PC just for music creation, I should be able to download the the OS with the DAW of my choice, all the VSTis and potentially also the most common free sound banks. In one file.

If I wanted an office PC, I should be able to get the OS, the office suite of choice and all the misc. PDF tools, email client and whatnot of choice. All in one go.

Windows and macOS sort of came with everything before, but these days they’re just as annoying to set up as any Linux distribution. Linux as a whole could take advantage of that situation by offering a prepackaged but custom installation.

Of course it would also help if someone made a Linux installer for windows, so users didn’t have to use windows to create a bootable USB. I think this is the step that normal users hesitate on. I don’t know if it’s possible, but it ought to be possible from software to partion the disc and install dual boot or something.

It definitely exists in Canada. Mostly in condos, where it makes sense.

The issue in USA is that they have many more gated communities where the HOAs have way too much power to “manage” the community.

A bottle of Jack Daniels costs about DKK400 on Greenland. That’s about $60. It’s tax free though.

People do drink less than the average in EU, but despite this, alcoholism and drug abuse are serious issues on Greenland.

Yes it is, it’s just not as crazy, but it exists everywhere.

If several houses share a private road, it will be necessary to make an agreement with all the homeowners on maintaining the road.

Similarly with privately owned apartments. If they need new windows, it’s generally in everybody’s interest that the entirety of homeowners agree on the colour of windows.

There are usually some sort of home owners association anywhere where homeowners own part of the common areas.

It’s still possible to buy a house without one, but many new build suburban sprawl have them by default because the placement off public roads and the developers wanting to have everything look at a certain standard before the houses are sold to individuals.

Yes. Linux Mint works “straight out of the box”.

It comes with a preinstalled browser (Firefox), so if you only use your computer for online stuff, then you dont need to do anything at all. Just use it.

The only technical thing you might want to do is to enter the WiFi password and find the software manager to install any additional apps you need.If you can install apps on your phone, then you can also install apps on Linux Mint.

I actually found that it was a lot easier to install Mint than setting up a new Windows pc. The most difficult part was using a windows pc to download it and making a bootable USB stick. Your friend can help you with that or you can follow a guide.

I have had zero issues and I have never written a single command line. It just works.

Why don’t they just make a proper OS without all that shit.

How much electricity do you even have?

She’s gonna complain about the bill.

I liked that game. The controls were horrible, but the story was okay and it featured a lot of new game mechanics for the time. They tried too much really. It was more of an experience than a game.
