Was there really no computer vendor in the late 90s including linux in some computers instead of windows oem? Not one?

None much bigger than "Todd's Computer Sales & Service" at the local mini-mall, no. Microsoft pressured them HARD. If I recall correctly, the deal they enforced was that that if you sold complete workstations, you either included a Windows license with all of them, or you didn't get to install Windows on any of them.

Isn't 120 just high-average, like not terribly noteworthy?

This sent me on a quick wikipedia dive. According to the statistical model, IQ 120 would be in approximately the top 9%. So yeah, definitely above average, but not astoundingly so.

(Here I am deliberately ignoring all of the many questionable things about the IQ scale and I do NOT suggest we get into a derail about them. This is still about a crazy guy who put an IQ score on his car.)

One of these things is not like the others.



The Republicans were supposed to be all-in on "yes" on Ohio issue 1 -- it was the vote yesterday where they tried to change the rules and freeze out an upcoming proposed constitutional amendment to protect abortion rights. They failed, 57-43, which by modern standards is a loving landslide. It's not over, of course, but so far things are looking up for abortion rights in Ohio this November.

I didn't know it changed until pretty recently. I was riding in the car with my bf and I saw it and said something like, "wtf kind of car is a Kv... a.. K.. a K something"

"which one?"

I point at it.

"Kia"

"wtf you mean kia when did they change their logo, it's loving horrible."

The first time I saw the new logo, I saw it as KИ and wondered if it was some kind of special import from a country that uses the Cyrillic alphabet. But then I went "wait, can't be, that's obviously a Kia Soul" and squinted at the logo again until the two faces became a vase.

Interesting, and makes sense, but that Kia's brake lights are installed in the body and don't move. No reason the turn signals can't be hanging out with them, as is standard on just about every vehicle (save this Kia and whatever the Detroit equivalent is).

:actually: those things down on the bumper are probably just reflectors. If you can't see a yellow lens, then chances are the rear "turn signal" consists of flashing the tail/brake light, because turn signals on this continent are legally permitted to SUCK.

I wish. I've seen them in the wild, flashing to indicate turns. They suck.

e: possibly on a different Kia model, but they're out there.

ee: These are the vehicles I've seen with bumper turn signals.

:hfive: Then I guess it turns out we're both correct -- that particular model may not have the bumper flashers but it's definitely a thing on Kias.

I'm particularly amused by the Anton LaVey quote directly beneath the warning about Satanism.

e: Googled the actual quote: "Water must be allowed to seek its own level without interference from apologists for incompetence. No one should be protected from the effects of his own stupidity." Which seems oddly appropriate, given the rest of the car.
