I mean yeah, I just said above that someone almost killed me. They were probably a human driver. But that's a "might happen, never know." If self driving cars are rear-ending people, that's an inherent artifact of it's programming, even though it's not intentionally programmed to do that.

So it's like, things were already bad. I already do not feel safe doing any biking anymore. But as self driving cars become more prevalent, that threat upgrades to a kind of defacto, "Oh, these vast stretches of land are places where only cars and trucks are allowed. Everything else is roadkill waiting to happen."

I imagine bicyclists must be æffected as well if they're on the road (as we should be, technically). As somebody who has already been literally inches away from being rear-ended, this makes me never want to bike in the US again.

Time to go to Netherlands.

Always liked the idea of GoboLinux, but haven't yet gotten around to trying it.

I should say, I'd rather have both the numpad and arrow key column on the left. I'm right handed. One benefit would is less travel anytime you need to move your hand from your mouse to keyboard and back, as well as those relative distances promoting slightly more even/ergonomic arm positioning.

The other benefit is that I might actually be inclined to use the numpad for games instead of wasd, which would free up the rest of the keyboard for more shortcuts.

Every time I see these kinds of split keyboards, it reminds me of this scene from Cowboy Bebop.

The numpad is still a popular option in roguelikes. It's also worth noting that sometimes the ortholinear layout of numpad keys is more appropriate than the staggered layout of letter keys.

I've been moving toward preferring full keyboards, but I wish it were more normalized for them to put the numpad on the left side.

You're right, I'm going to change all my fonts to comic sans (or whatever open-source variant might exist)...

Just Egg is a product that makes a great scrambled egg or omelette alternative. That stuff is also ridiculously expensive though. Luckily the main ingredient, mung beans, are much cheaper than both eggs or Just Egg. Here's a video recipe for making your own Just Egg.

Tofu scramble is even easier to make than scrambled eggs are (no need to worry about contact-based foodborne illness!) I like making them with diced potatoes, and they go great in breakfast wraps.

If you're going to be regurgitating animal ag astroturfing propaganda, I hope they're at least paying you. It'd be really embarrassing if you're just simping for fascist funders for free. Anyway, Cowspiracy is a whole documentary debunking regenerative cattle ranching, in addition to plenty of other sources. The whole thing is just a nonsense nonstarter, and anyone arguing otherwise is right up there with climate deniers and anti-vaccers.
