I was looking at Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin on Google maps earlier today, coincidentally. While the headquarters seem to be in Texas I was mostly seeing blips for plants in southern New England. I don't know how accurate that is but I suspect that the plants are more crucial than any office or HQ.

One of my monitors is vertical for seeing more web content/code at a time, and it is also perfectly geared for this application.
I get what you mean, but realistically I don't end up investing gratuitous amounts of time into anything - and even if I did I'd probably fuck it up and draw incorrect conclusions.
That's why I depend heavily on Cunningham's Law and Google.
Is it a Thinkpad?
You can actually choose to download an Linux Mint iso with either Cinnamon, MATE, or Xfce, so you're not exclusively locked into Cinnamon.
Just hopped back over to linux mint again after years of making due with Windows
- Went with cinnamon cuz pretty.
- switched to CobiWindowList so I could see all windows on either of my monitor menu bars.
- switched to CinnVIIStarkMenu for a more familiar menu system.
Not much change, I can lean on the habits I've gotten from windows, and now my switch is pretty much unnoticeable to me.
Funny enough, Lutris has made it alot easier for me to access games I usually would just have downloaded, like my itch.io library. Proton has tackled all my other games fine. Hell, I even got Tarkov running smoothly, even though you can only do offline raids on Linux ATM.
Good call. I've taken those accusations for granted for a while. I've now edited the original comment.
I'm not a fan of them because ~~they have been known to cause accidents in the past from people trying to slow down and not get ticketed.~~ TIL this is bupkiss. I've read it so many times I took it for granted. That and it only slows people down in that specific area. You slow down, drive past it, then just speed back up.
I think Europe uses a better system, where you post two cameras on either end of the road you want to regulate the speed of. You take pictures of the license plates and time how long they were in the road for, then divide the distance by time to determine average speed. If that speed is above the legal limit, you look up the plate and they get a ticket in the mail. It's lower tech because it doesn't need LiDar, it's harder to 'cheat', and it can be pretty cheap for regulating long stretches of road without exits.
There's probably not as many small engine mechanics out there so that'll accentuate a smaller number of injuries and deaths.
but also, as a small engine mechanic you're working with an explosive device. It's controlled explosion, but it's been designed to be compact and lightweight while still providing a decent power output. I imagine that if anything goes wrong, that thing turns into an IED pretty quick.
Not to mention that some small engines use fancy fuel that can fuck you up pretty quick, and all engines are prone to catching fire.
Yes, and people are already getting hit with propaganda constantly encouraging them to recycle, take the bus, buy fewer clothes, and a bunch of other minute actions. Some people even followed through.
This post was explicitly about getting people to support action against corporations, and your response to it was to take a dig at the message and promote more of the most common environmentalism propaganda in the US - as if it wasn't promoted to high hell already.
That's not point. Individualist solutions are weak in comparison - a drop in the bucket. Collectivist solutions are what will actually be the brunt of solution. You're pitching a patch kit for damage that needs a full rework.
By all means, cut you're consumption, but realize that your consumption change isn't going to do nearly enough on its own. That's the point of what's being said above.
More important, some quick googling says that the average per-capita income for 1938 was $515 (new york per-capita was $822, Mississippi was $205), which another search says was just under $11k. That car would cost an atomic family close to 2 years' wages.
