I just switched back to Linux a week ago (Ubuntu Studio 24.04) from windows. I used to use Linux 15 years ago and I tried a lot of distros at that time. Eventually I landed on Crunchbang which I loved dearly.

Since it’s been awhile I wanted something fairly vanilla so Ubuntu Studio felt like a good start. I was planning on switching to something else (I hear we have Crunchbang++ now) after getting used to Linux again but I have kind of settled in to Ubuntu now. It feels a little sloppy but comfortable somehow.

I get a lot of orbweavers in my yard and they’re nice to see.

iNaturalist says it’s genus Xysticus which seems probable to me

As others have said, looks like a crab spider or running crab spider. I’ll see if I can take a crack at the genus tomorrow

House of the Dying Sun

That’s fair

Everyone is just forgetting about IWBTG

Just gonna guess, is this Eric Dubey?

The problem is what you’re looking for is far less common than it used to be.

The bottom has dropped out of the market. Cars under a certain value are usually scrapped and/or parted out. You will find them occasionally but it’s getting rare. In my local area I find that Craigslist has the best selection of beaters, but it’s still difficult to find anything worthwhile under $4000.

Might be time to consider a motorcycle, scooter, or e-bike of you can make it work

Edit: one more thing. There are ways to browse FB marketplace without an account.

I recommend autotempest as it searches multiple sites.

Like most polish dishes it sounds like it would be disgusting, looks disgusting, and probably tastes surprisingly good

This can’t be right. How do the Houthis have a hypersonic missile when the superpowers can barely field them?

Ya’ll need to start calling people dirt-hats

DCA broke me because I know about 90% of those buttons and switches

I’d be happy just having bikes be viable as an individualized transportation method. I’d much rather a 30-minute bike ride than a car ride every day

I think it’s around 10k but they’re trying to get it lower

Velomobiles are neat but the idea is more practically executed in something like the Electrom LEV

I used to be acquainted with a guy who would buy billboard time and put fake joke ads on them. This seems like something he’d put up

Discs are asexual. It’s why they can make offspring without a partner.

I want to be optimistic that the industry will learn from these failures but they only ever seem to learn the wrong lessons
