It's time to replace my car. The whole radiator is leaking and needs to be replaced, or I'll be filling the coolant every day. Anybody have a good lead on a Ford Focus, Honda Civic, or another car with a low total-cost-to-own? #xpost
Every time I read a thinkpiece on the culture wars, I notice that they all seem to include a few paragraphs about how nerds are at the epicenter. #xpost

@emmymau I've been reading through listicles of cars with the lowest total cost of ownership. But they keep mentioning rate of depreciation as a factor. Does this mean they are only addressing new-car purchases?
I usually buy a used car, drive it until the drive train breaks down, and sell it for scrap. Should I be ignoring their advice?

@elplatt I figured lots of people must have already talked about this, and written guides to making workarounds for long-form Mastodon/birdsite less painful. And I figured if anyone knew about it it would be you. [4 of 4]
@elplatt I was never the use-case for the bird site to begin with. I need to be set free from bookface. And Mastodon does not seem intended to serve that. [3 of 4]
@elplatt or a tool to transform a long-form text into a series of toots? [2 of 4]
@elplatt Is there a convenient way to read a series of toots in chronological order? [1 of 4]
Publications and signage for #penguicon are complete. My Life-Sized "Hey That's My Fish" is complete. Made arrangements to pick up a guest of honor at the airport. Looks like all is in readiness.
