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.

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.

Lina’s got her radar pointed…

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.

Lies, damned lies, and Software patents

I want a WordPress plugin that refuses to load my site for anyyhing newer than Netscape 3 and pops up a modal “you need to upgrade your browser” pane.

IMO Alphabet has run out of goodwill by abusing their market dominance in a more overt way.

Looking forward to more aggressive action by FTC, note that tech donors have asked Harris for Lina Khan’s removal as a quid pro quo.

If I lived there I’d change them from time to time.

Lemmy needs a Glassfloor sub.

I remember being in a certain pizza hut near a certain corporate HQ, and managers from that acquiring corp were working the lunch in the kitchen.

I doubt they knew the end was coming, but I did.

Corp still sells a lot of flavored water.

Kahn!
