Nah, it’s just wicked repetitive and I hate it. I had a cubicle neighbor that played the radio and it felt like that frigging song played in a loop, alongside the “kars 4 kids” jingle.
I’m a systems librarian in an academic library. I moved over the Lemmy after Rexxit 2023. I’ve had an account on sdf.org since 2009 (under a different username), and so I chose this instance out of a sense of nostalgia. I do all sorts of fiber arts (knitting, cross stitch, sewing) and love dogs.

I’ve definitely been going 10 mph in city, signaled to turn, tried to slow down, and just coasted past my turn because that’s how fresh snow over ice behaves. That’s with traction control and ABS.
USB hand warmers are your friend. Layers of clothing, so you can get less dressed once you get where you’re going. If you drive in the snow, pretend your brakes have been cut and so you need much more stopping distance. Gloves that have capacitive finger tips so you can use your phone while wearing them are awesome. Walk like a penguin (shuffle feet, short steps center of balance always above your feet) on ice, so you don’t slip and fall. Snow is reflective, like the ocean, so sunglasses are nice in winter.
It’s 4-wheel drive, not 4-wheel stop. (Ok, technically brakes can be on each wheel, but that still won’t help in sufficient lack-of-friction)
I’ve read that story, too. Still might be bullshit, but who would tell false story about sex on the Internet?
Edit: found it, or at least an example
I assume the landlord uses a service to share rent with the credit report agencies. The landlord can shop around for a cheaper service, or use their cousin who charges $50/tenant but gives the landlord a kickback.
Monthly cost or $10, whichever is less, is better. It means the landlord is incentivized to keep costs down. Even if it costs the landlord $50, they can only charge the tenant $10. If it costs them $5, they can only charge the tenant $5. It’s a ceiling on the cost.
If you need a passport super short notice (possibly same-day) you can go to one of a few passport offices and hope they can fit you in. I looked into it a few years ago when I lost my passport right before a big business trip. Logistically it wouldn’t have worked for me (by the time I even got to the Boston office on that Monday my flight would have left), but yeah. Found my passport a few days later, tucked into a notebook.
I associate it with trying to bring Christ into politics. For example, see this group’s mission statement.. I’ve not dug into it much more than that, just enough to know it’s currently a right-wing whistle and I ought to avoid anyone currently enamored with it. My local church only started displaying it after Justice Alito’s wife caused a stir by flying it.
A church near me has an Appeal to Heaven flag. It creeps me out.
Both as a student and as someone that works at a university, it’s always felt that the university police are more understanding of students/young people than the town police. They’re more likely to refer you to student services or explain why you should have reported backing into a car in the parking lot before heading off to class, instead of giving you a ticket for leaving the scene of an accident or arresting you for doing drugs in the library.
The closest I’ve ever been to a bar fight was while checking in to a hotel in Ohio.
My 7th grade algebra teacher would be annoyed that you didn’t show your work, step by step.
Technically, it’s not been my municipality that’s charged me, but those around me and where I work. I don’t vote there. My town didn’t exist when the people I’m researching were making records. And at the state level, it comes up every few years but dies in committee. Last time was in 2020, when it died due to the pandemic changes everyone’s focus. I’ll ping my local congresscritter and see if it can be revived–the person advocating for change recently retired, sadly.
I’m happy to be a bit suboptimal and get vaccinated when convenient. I got my flu shot a week before school came back in session and my COVID shot a week later, because that’s when the new booster came out where I am. I’d have been happy to get them at the same time because better something suboptimal than nothing because you forgot or got busy.
Yes, and updated boosters recently came out in the United States. Got my booster 2 weeks ago and it went smoothly.
Accurate. I both misread your comment and I have a bee in my bonnet about a $20 fee to take pictures of something you can examine for free.
Tell that to my town clerk, charging $20 to take pictures of documents with your own phone. This is based on Sec. 1-212 part g (the bottom) of state law And, as a local history researcher, it bites ass.
Ah, I thought you were being racist against people who might sing a song in a non-English language.
