They’re two separate things. That’s the idea, a clutch is a disconnect between the engine and transmission.

A really good driver only uses the clutch to start and stop.

Anyway, another of my comments got removed without explanation, I’ll just see myself out of this misinfo echo chamber that can’t understand why people don’t post here.

I had great hopes for the fediverse idea, but the same human greed issues, like mastodon selling iut to Meta, and zealous moderation, like whatever happened to my comment and another one before that complaing about the Mudrocks and Musk.

Bon chance, fedi.

Try driving an 18-speed truck transmission without the clutch.

Who’s stupid?

Raymond Chandler’s novels, esp The Lady in the Lake

The Pirx the Pilot stories, 8 in 2 volumes

Dashiell Hammett’s The Maltese Falcon and The Glass Key

2nd the Hitchhiker’s Guide and they’re easy to rejoin

A A Fair’s novels are short and have odd western us lore in them, one has a great way to bet in Vegas, others name spots in Mexico, they were Gardner’s fun books that he liked to write more than other series.

I can’t tell if I’m being trolled or not.

Far better UI, built-in ad blocker that does get complained about by some sites, but likely less locked down than Fennec or Mull.

Try working with the Vivaldi Speed Dial for a bit then wonder what Mitchell Baker was doing all those years.

Built-in note taking app, page capture, etc.

Good daily driver for non-secure doings just keep in mind the chromium framework framework.

Why not?

If I ran it I’d rename the dinosaur to T-rexiera

I’d like to find a small bluetooth keyboard with mechanical switches that I could use with both my.phone and my 2009 MBP running MX. I need stowable and chargeable with C.

I have time, where would I find a kit for something like that?

Gamestop seems to be releasing competitive options right now.

Jawbone headsets used to be like that. When they were still in business. They made good headsets, but introduced this feature as well to change certain settings.

Apparently that wasn’t taught in business schools.

I know someone who can fix all of their stuff, and they can’t understand that book.

Bellissimo!

Stockholm syndrome?

Lina’s got her radar pointed…

Nationalist Narcissism begins.

Excellent.

Also, the D stands for diode, which is a one-way passage for electricity, some rectifiers may use diodes in their circuitry. So another way to cut costs is to not rectify completely or well.

You need to drink the bottle’s contents to stop the tears. Just to be certain, stir 8n some Draino first.

When the DSM lists religious belief as a mental illness, I’ll grudgingly begin to respect psychology.

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern And half at one another’s throats.

Man hands on misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf. Get out as early as you can, And don’t have any kids yourself.
