I had no idea Matthias Wandel had an older brother. Looks like the whole family is smart.

To your point, here are two adjacent “parks” in Washington DC. The park on the left is fully open and walkable. The park on the right has a low fence and shrubs surrounding it. You could technically hop the low fence and walk there, lots of people let their dog do that so it can crap there, but both practices are discouraged.

Also, if you are mobility impaired, or its muddy, or whatever, you wouldn’t want to walk in the park on the left either. So it makes sense that OSM wouldn’t try to shortcut you over it.

If you pick a FOSS license then your project is FOSS. The number of developers doesn’t matter.

I moved all my (meager bullshit) personal projects to Codeberg awhile ago. My stuff was already open source, but I did explicitly add some license files I neglected to add before just to make it clear. So far so good.

Before you archive your Github repos make sure to update them with one last commit explaining that the repo has moved to somewhere else (and potentially why). Once you lock the repo you can’t make changes. If you straight-up delete them then this isn’t an issue.

I had a dog who developed seizures. Low dose phenobarbital solved the issue thankfully. It was a little inconvenient because he required regular liver tests and also, phenobarbital being a controlled substance, I had to buy it at a regular pharmacy. But other than that it was fine, much better than the seizures. He had no issues until he died (years later) of unrelated problems stemming from old age.

I’ve actually been there. This is hilarious, but the serious side is that their county doesn’t have the money to spend on this kind of shit.

When people say the USA doesn’t have “real poverty” I always think of the two barefoot kids I saw carrying buckets to the creek. Or the partially collapsed rat’s nest/lean-to “cabin” that I was sure had been abandoned for decades, but then had smoke coming from the chimney in winter. Half the walls were plastic tarp and scrap metal. That’s Adams County.

The town of Portsmouth is right next door in Scioto County, and it was ground zero for the opioid epidemic in the USA. The first pill mill was right there. Last time I was there on any sheltered stretch of the river you could find addicts living in tents. The librarians carry Narcan.

But they raid Afroman’s house looking for weed.

If that’s true the sequence of events will be something like:

• Trump demands the ship be sent immediately because he doesn’t understand what “dry dock” is.
• Someone in the chain of command who understands how bad that is uses proper channels to politely call for a small delay.
• That officer is immediately fired. Right-wing media starts rumor they are a trans immigrant when a document from 2012 is found where they listed pronouns.
• The officer is replaced with a 26-year-old toadie who has a background in podcasting about flat earth.
• Toadie immediately sends the ship.
• Ship sustains heavy damage from corrosion because it wasn’t painted yet, or some shit.
• The hospital ship spends 90 days sitting off-shore in Greenland. During this time it treats a handful of patients who, it later turns out, got paid to be there and aren’t even citizens of Greenland.
• Ship returns to USA to actually do the refit, where it turns out the damage is now catastrophic.
• Jared Kushner receives contract to build replacement ship, named “USS TRUMP 12” because we have 11 other USS TRUMPs.
• The money changes hands.
• The ship is never built.
• This is only reported by Common Dreams.

edit: fuck it, made it more elaborate.
