For me audiobooks makes the drive tolerable and enjoyable. I don’t find them distracting, rather I get distracted from them at times because of thoughts of work or needing to focus on dumb drivers around me.

Did that last night. Went from 11 minutes to home, to 25.

Me but with audiobooks. I listen while driving home. A thought might distract me so I’ll hit back, only to get back on the train of thought while I wait for the audio to get to the part I missed. Only I’ll miss it again and have to hit back again.

At first, the F.B.I. and other investigators believed that China’s hackers used stolen passwords to focus mostly on the system that taps telephone conversations and texts under court orders. It is administered by a number of the nation’s telecommunications firms, including the three largest — Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile. But in recent days, investigators have discovered how deeply China’s hackers had moved throughout the country by exploiting aging equipment and seams in the networks connecting disparate systems.

Doesn’t look like they know (or are willing to share specifics as to) the full scope of the hack, but they seem to have a pretty good idea.

Someone going through a tough time.

Truly is one of the most versatile tools to own.

No worries. The summary made it sound more sensational and like it was unidentifiable. I mean that’s the way the article was written but still the summary seemed incomplete or misleading without that line.

Not really a lemmy thing, just how it read.

Thanks for posting this since OP didn’t in his summary.

Dude you rock! Love what you did above

Wait, where did this image come from? I’ll love this. Is this shen OC or is this an edit?

That does sound amazing

Pineapple + jalapeños + pepperoni or chicken is where it’s at

No, it’s a legit comic publishing. Seen their booth at a comic convention and talked with them briefly. They’ve been at it for a while. Check eBay and search Do You Pooh? and there’s a ton of them.

From Do You Pooh? by Counterpoint Comics for anyone interested. All their covers feature Winnie the Pooh and Tigger parodying various comic covers and public figures. The contents of the comics parodied are also redrawn, or are original stories.

Dark as fuck… but sadly too real

He’s grounded…

About 20% of Americans ages 50 and older have no retirement savings, according to an AARP survey in January. It also found 61% are worried they won’t have enough money for retirement.

Thanks

AI aside, this is kind of a dumb argument to make. And yes I get it’s a meme, but the point it making is still stupid.

Plants can have value other than just as a food source. There’s nothing wrong with cultivating decorative flowers, shrubs, or trees. By this argument everyone should have a small garden or farm yard else they’re wasting time/resources, ignoring that garden/farm plants may require more time and resources to raise and care for.

Lawns do serve a purpose other than just looking nice as well. In many areas if you don’t have a lawn, you’ve got a dust and dirt flying everywhere when the wind picks up.

Either way, the argument should be more in favor of native plants and wildflowers if it was to make a better point. Not to say there aren’t also native grasses out there.

Who’s “we” tho? It’s like a 4 month old post.

Funny tho I wonder if the artist read that thread and got the idea for this comic or if it’s just a case of like minds.
