Tall data centers do exist in cities where land is expensive. It's the same reason everyone builds up in cities. Where land is cheap and available it's usually easier and less expensive to build things low and wide.

I have fond memories of ClarisWorks 4.

clubs here are filled with MAGAs and plastered with Republican propaganda so I don't feel as welcome as I used to.

As a kid, my dad and I occasionally went to the local gun show just to look around at interesting stuff. The collectors selling antiques, fancy custom pieces, and guns with historical interest were always fun to chat with. But at some point it turned into crazy town. I don't go to those events anymore.

IANAL, but my understanding is this is how laws are challenged in the US. A plaintiff cannot file suit against the legislature, or the government in general, to challenge a law. A plaintiff needs to sue an individual within the government who has enforced the law, and then demonstrate that the enforcement of said law has caused the plaintiff harm. In this case the law will be enforced by Newsome or someone within his administration like the Secretary of State.

I learned this when Texas passed their anti-abortion law in 2021 (S.B. 8). Rather than having government officials enforce that law, the state offloaded enforcement to private citizens by paying them cash rewards for successfully suing alleged abortion providers. Since state officials are not doing the enforcing they are not directly causing harm to any potential plaintiffs. There's nobody in the state government you can sue to initiate a challenge to the law.

That's actually a big improvement. Still an ugly vehicle, but at least this version has better character.

Oooo, that's a neat site!

Getting an engineering degree is generally a good thing. Demand and pay tend to be above average. A certificate can be helpful, but I have watched people hit a "paper ceiling" in their careers; people stuck with the title of "designer" doing an engineer's work without an engineering degree, and never getting an engineer's salary for it.

Whether a bachelor's degree is beneficial for you personally will depend on a lot of things, not all of which are within your control. 20 years ago a BS in computer science was a golden ticket. Now the industry has shifted and the job placement rates for new CS grads are awful. It's hard to predict the future.

I agree with the other commenter that going to university is good for the whole self. I was exposed to people, ideas, and experiences that I would never have encountered elsewhere. That alone made the effort worthwhile.

Most jeans are sewn from Sanforized (pre-shrunk) fabric. Wearing them damp won't do much.

Raw, non-Sanfordized "shrink-to-fit" denim is a whole different story. For example: https://thighsbiggerthanyourhead.blogspot.com/2010/12/how-to-shrink-to-fit-stf-your-levis.html

Hell yeah. There's an unassuming restaurant in my town that hosts local all-ages punk and metal shows after the kitchen closes. The underground scene is alive and well. I'm looking forward to having your experience myself as my kids grow up.

Wrong community. You need to ask in !perchance@lemmy.world

Why do we even have this ~~lever~~ truck?
