Then set up a cron job that periodically tries to read a file on the drive, and if that command fails, then execute sudo mount -a

Like, set up a root account cron job to run touch \external_drive\test_file.txt || mount -a at 5-minute intervals.

Fuel taxes pay for roads.

If only other types of taxes could be used to pay for roads… But alas, only gas taxes can be used for that. Entirely different monetary system, that. Roads need gas money and regular money just won’t do.

Or … we could just not tax electric vehicles, and call that a subsidy to encourage the more environmentally friendly option.

If, at some future point, electric vehicle adoption becomes so widespread that it becomes difficult to provide road maintenance because gas taxes aren’t being paid anymore, then you can find a different funding source for it. Maybe just fund it out of the ordinary general tax fund. Or even go really crazy and raise taxes on billionaires by two hundredths of a percent.

“War is good because it ended slavery once, even though it didn’t actually end slavery at all.”

I remember something else that made a different right-wing blogosphere grifter go away recently, and it was very effective.

Might still have had AI ‘help’ writing the script.

I can do both.

Needed to try out his newest pair of high heels.

If he’s voting for a single person with an ® after their name in the midterms after his ‘realization’ then fuck him – he still doesn’t understand at all.

I’m glad they finally figured it out, but I’m definitely still going to give them shit about being fooled 3 times in a row.

And I’m also not going to trust them as far as I can throw them when it comes to not getting fooled a 4th time.

The franchise was originally started by an avowed fascist … and it really shows through sometimes.

Funny how these Republicans can only (sometimes) do the right thing once they’re no longer running for reelection.

And not just this one. It’s a very predictable repeating pattern. If a Republican crosses the aisle to do the right thing, 9/10 times, you can bet you’ll find out they’re not running for reelection next time (or their campaign has already failed).

Yep. Could be parroting Russian state narrative because he’s getting paid by the Russian state to do so.

And, at least biblically speaking, there would have been horses somewhere around at the time.

No one believes that Russia is a moral actor in this

You must be talking to different tankies than I am.

This ml thinks slavery was ended in the US.

There are more slaves in the US now than there were in 1860. So tell me again, what is war good for?

Every goddamn war ever.

War is defined by the instigator. Israel’s attacks are not a war of liberation.
