To Americans: How far apart is everything in the US?
  • I live in rural Ohio and I drive about 40 miles (65 km) round trip a day just getting to and from work, and that's pretty average for a rural area.

    The nearest grocery store and back is about a 15 mile (25 km) round trip.

    In the rural areas, which account for most of the land area of the US, things are far enough apart that it makes it impossible to survive without a vehicle.

  • Israel Bombed Lebanon Today, Killing Hundreds. The U.S. Is Sending More Bombs.
  • Late October, Netanyahu will do whatever he can to help Trump win.

    Let's not forget that they bailed on ceasefire talks a few weeks ago because former president, and private citizen, Donald Trump violated the Logan Act by calling Netanyahu and telling him not to accept the ceasefire.

  • How can a car engine remap increase both power and economy?
  • By sacrificing emissions.
    You can get more power per stroke if you don't care about emissions, and that can get you a better fuel economy, but you may fail your local e-check if it's tuned.

    Volkswagen got in trouble for designing their cars to change the engine tuning when it detected it was connected to a testing rig.

  • Judge Aileen Cannon Failed to Disclose a Right-Wing Junket
  • The only explanation I can think of as to why he hasn't moved to do it yet is that he must think someone on the 11th circuit also compromised and will protect her.
    So she's going to have to do something so publicly outrageous that it can't be ignored

  • why isn't anyone calling for Trump to drop out.

    I get it, Biden is old and that's a problem, but why doesn't anyone seem to have a problem with the fact that Trump is almost the same age, has 34 felonies, raped at least 2 women, went to Epstein's Island 11 times, sexualized his own daughter, stole classified documents, aligned himself with Xi and Putin, and can't remember common names?

    Is all of that really better than being 2½ years older than he is right now?

    Based on a true story

    My OS is on a 512gb M.2 drive, but the main storage on my laptop was a 1TB HDD, it started making noise about 2 weeks ago so I backed everything up onto a 1TB SanDisk USB SSD. This afternoon it got very clicky when I booted it up after work and icons for a few games I had stored on it, like KSP and YUZU, disappeared from the desktop and taskbar.

    PEMDAS is technically correct, but morally wrong

    If we're supposed to be able to understand math as easily as a language, we should be able to read it from left to right like a language. Yes, I know there's lots other languages that go right to left or top to bottom, but the point is you don't have to go jumping around the page or sentence figuring out which word should be read first based on which characters it contains. We put the first word first, then the second word second, etc. Why can't we just write equations in the order they were meant to be solved?

    mod tools?

    I moderate a very small community but I'd like to be able to pin posts and have access to other general moderator tools like removing posts/comments and locking threads. It doesn't seem that I can do any of that with Connect and it's cumbersome at best to try to do it on a mobile browser. Are there any plans to implement mod tools? Or is there a setting I missed somewhere that enabls them?

    so this might be a little embarrassing, but how do I create a torrent and upload to a tracker?

    I've been seeding the torrents that I download since the old days of Limewire, but I've always download and re-shared by seeding. But a few months ago I couldn't find a set of audiobooks I'd been looking for with the original narrators from the 90s. I finally found a set on CD on eBay and coverted those to mp3 and loaded them on my phone, but it occurred to me that others might also be looking for a complete version of the series too and wanted to share that media. Apologies if it's an obvious answer that I somehow missed.
