A better headline: "Democrats seek ways to cut off Putin's Johnson."

"To shift into drive, reverse, or park, Tesla owners will need to use their car's touchscreen.”
Look, touchscreens in vehicles are horrible:
1. It's really hard to hit the right area on the screen when the vehicle is moving, because you have nowhere to rest your hand to steady it.
2. I don't want to take off my gloves to turn anything off or on. No, "use special tactile gloves" is not a solution, because they are expensive, you can't be very precise while wearing them, and they gradually lose that magic touch over time as you wear them and get them grimy.
3. No, "use voice commands" is not a great alternative. Try yelling "turn off defrosters" loud enough to be heard over the noise of those defrosters.
4. I shouldn't need to wear my reading glasses to operate a vehicle. Progressive lenses are not an option for many due to cost and bifocals remove a large chunk of the vision field that you need for actual driving.
So, please let's all collectively move past the point where touchscreens are used for anything other than infotainment and GPS.

Note, Trump has already cut off all funding for Ukraine via his limp sockpuppet in congress.

Welcome back to the time of year when my OCD is triggered every time someone tries to schedule a meeting with me in "EST."

I propose referring to "open-core" software as "open-sore" -- it will intentionally bleed you unless you pay for the enterprise version.

WorfEmail@botsin.spaceEngineering,
My calisthenics program has a problem. Instead of proper opponents the holodeck is only creating cartoon ponies.

During the day I'm all "gender is a social construct, you can be whoever you like, your anatomy does not define you!"
But then I put on my other hat to help my local baseball association with registrar duties and go full sadpanda as I sift through questionnaires with questions like "would your daughter like to join the all-girls team?"
Sigh. And this is especially stupid for baseball, because such gender modalities like muscles and aggressiveness have almost zero impact on how good a player is, especially for younger kids.

The worst part of my System76 Lemur laptop is the horrendously poor design of the arrow keys. You will notice how PgUp and PgDn are immediately adjacent to the left and right arrow key, but they are also identical to the touch, so whenever I have to edit something that's not in vim, I end up jumping to some random part of the page half the time.
Yes, I have now remapped them to be arrow keys as well, but I really shouldn't have to do that. 😤
