Just like Michael Jordan said: “Republicans buy sneakers, too.”

that’s why I’m so fucking confused

Another scam stations run is a “cash price.”

FWIW, if you use a debit card and run it as debit (bypassing Visa or Mastarcard or whatever) then you will get the cash price and don’t need to bring physical money. I’m sure some of the scam is to advertise lower prices when most people will use credit, but they’re also charged a 3% fee from the credit card companies, and they’re not going to eat that cost, so it gets passed to the consumer.

How does the car wash price work, why is it cheaper than without? Is the implication that the car wash is a separate charge all together? If so, pretty disingenuous to waste so much space with lower prices than to say "Car wash $20 & save 20¢ per gallon

i could see a situation where a host that only speaks IPv4 would need to add my IP to an allow list, and therefore I would need to check what IPv4 address I appear as, even though I am running IPv6.

Ahh yeah, works with @resolver2.opendns.com so I guess my DNS resolver isn’t supporting IPv6 or something like that?

lol this was a plot of a Futurama episode

Neat, how can you check IPv6? I was able to get my IPv4 address by querying with an A record, but tried with AAAA which doesn’t respond with an answer.

I just checked with curl and it showed me my IPv6 IP

That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works.

Awesome, good to know. Nice it has more info in a JSON blob.

There is also ifconfig.me which works amazingly on the command like with curl ifconfig.me

banana slug for scale

Buzzfeed News used to be high quality journalism, funded by ad driven low quality Buzzfeed content. I am not sure if it was financially sustainable since they had to do layoffs, but I think partially that could be because Buzzfeed’s audience moved to Instagram and TikTok and stopped interacting with “Which Game of Thrones character are you?” quizzes.

Wish that were the case where I live. Still I’ve noticed that what they’re now doing is offering the same price to everyone, but then giving the option of free Netflix for 1 year as a sign up bonus or the equivalent credit towards your service for that year, which effectively is the same practice.

This is what happened with FFMpeg when Google was trying the same thing to promote their models. If the code is good, and doesn’t put unnecessary burden on the reviewer, then that’s great. But when the patches are sloppy or the reviews are overwhelming, it doesn’t help the project, it hinders it.

I expected better from the recipient of the FIFA Peace Prize.

It’s like he’s actively trying to speed run the collapse of the economy. In his first term, he was able to ride the trajectory Obama set, despite his best efforts, until Covid happened. This time, he’s seeing if he can start a recession before the midterms.

FWIW, in the UK they removed the gender rule from the lines of succession right before Prince George was born. And even before then, King George was a second child, and Queen Elizabeth was the first child but female, and they still got the crowns.
