Oh snap. No good at all. I believe the Aura and Astra were rebadged Opals. I was considering an Aura. I was going to replace the badges lol.

I had an Ion, 5speed manual, no power windows and I loved it. The only thing that broke on it in 6 years/90k miles, was the driver door latch.

Voting every election I knew about where I lived since 2000 (Nader for president!) Always Green party except for Obama in 2008 (we need reparations, but that was closest thing). Voted Kamala, because it was what it was. I was really excited about Andrew Yang, because UBI is brilliant. Now… I’m learning español. 🙁

Define painful. There’s nothing stopping us from starting co-ops for nearly everything. But the will has to be there. Too many people are happy with what they have. Violence only breeds more violence. Full stop. All it takes is a viral moment.

I have to wonder if whales or dolphins can do math. They have the curiosity required and some of the largest brains around.

Anywhere in the universe, in any theoretical space.

Cue the long discussion of “best distribution” (it’s Debian) 🙂

Does a bicycle count? Changed my life.

I wash the engine grease off first. Then take a load off and sit down. The real question is, “Why do kids pee on the seat?” WHY GOD WHY

Sounds like an office job. That was my experience as well. I quit and learned a trade. It is also obvious who are high performers and I get paid more. Down side is, my body is falling apart 22 years in (auto mechanic). On the plus side, customers are always really nice to me. They get angry at the front counter folks.

No, vinyl is still the new vinyl. Tons and tons of new vinyl on Bandcamp. And tapes!
