The weird story of Ohio Senate candidate Bernie Moreno's $3.4 million car in c/politics@lemmy.world

[–] Alienmonkey@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

He owed an Austin Martin dealership. The car is a rare model worth far more than its sticker.

From what I understand about the new car business, I'd almost guarantee this car was floorplanned / purchased by the dealership itself (which he owned) and which then sold it for the final and ludacris sum listed.

I don't doubt he is an out of touch candidate, with zero connection to his constituency and probably terrible ideas on governance, but this storey itself is slightly less remarkable than the headline suggests.

Excel wouldn't stop converting sku numbers to date formats. IT guy was excited to share an "easy fix" for that with Open Office...

When I saw his genuine excitement as he described Linux, plus the security it provided I realized, if I ran Linux I'd have the best support in the company. And I did.

I eventually had to move on from Linux at work after 10yrs or so but it's all I run at home.

All because of Excel and those fucking date codes. Which yes, Open Office solved as advertised.

And yes I know you don't need Linux for that but it was a long time ago.

I find that last bit true with non-thong underwear as well.

I'm kinda surprised someone hasn't done that yet, just as an "fuck you" to whichever country they are beefing with at the moment.

Like buy a bunch of expensive real-estate, and get locals to live there as a flop house and piss off the neighborhood.

I mean, I'm also not surprised but still.

I mute most games. Wish there was the option for them to just broadcast crowd noise and refs.

Sleep paralysis was part of untreated apnea for me. And it sucks.

I'm not a doctor, but you might consider a sleep study if you can.

Foot Pedal Recommendations in c/ergomechkeyboards@lemmy.world

I don't have one but musical or guitar communities may have recommendations. Lot of foot controllers in that world.

Wide variety of feel and purpose there.
