Yes but we’re also more mastodon less bluesky. If a bluesky-esque clone of Reddit comes along with better UX and paving over the issues of federation then it will win, the way Bluesky has beaten out Mastodon as the Twit alternate

I heard rumors someone burned his house down. No idea if they’re true or not.

PLA is widely used as a medical plastic and its normal decomposition is into lactic acid.

Even if it is just being atomized down into smaller and smaller particles it’s safer for you than any other common plastic.

The colorants added are the only risk

Affinity is great

My point is that it was foreseeable and it was her goal. She never wanted congestion pricing, she wanted to run on it because it was popular and then tank it in a way that won’t hurt her reelection.

This is calculated.

She’s moving forward with it so that Trump can block it. Then she’ll say “look at me fight trump” and also “nothing we can do sorry”

I’m pro nuclear as well but we absolutely can maintain this level of energy consumption on renewables alone.

The question is cost and risk - I’m for diversification of our grid which includes nuclear.

But it is getting to the point where renewables with backups will be cheaper than coal. That’s absolutely something you can run the entire grid off of. You can balance storage requirements with excess production capacity that gets shuttered over the summer etc etc

Quote from abstract:

We find that the MTEs are biased, significantly favoring White-associated names in 85.1% of cases and female-associated names in only 11.1% of cases, with a minority of cases showing no statistically significant differences. Further analyses show that Black males are disadvantaged in up to 100% of cases, replicating real-world patterns of bias in employment settings, and validate three hypotheses of intersectionality. We also find an impact of document length as well as the corpus frequency of names in the selection of resumes.

Pretty damning… And not surprising.

Oh my God an image macro posted to the political memes board doesn’t have 60 pages of nuanced footnotes explaining how if you’re in Nebraska then your voting system works differently I’m going to literally shit my own pants out of rage

Cause and effect reversed there buddy

New devs: “wow a new sdk version”

Old devs: “Ah fuck I’ve gotta change how we request permissions again”

You might not notice it but us Android devs do.

Good to know - I didn’t opt for the 1k range personally, I sprang for a Priority Current with Enviolo hub. Love that bike - commute 9 miles to work on it.

(it’s not his personal device - it’s a work owned device)

Zoom ai transcriptions also make things up.

That’s the point. They’re hallucination engines. They pattern match and fill holes by design. It doesn’t matter if the match isn’t perfect, it will patch it over with nonsense instead.

I dug into this more because I was under the impression it was the case that most states did not: here’s what I found

https://felonvoting.procon.org/state-felon-voting-laws/

23 states let you vote after prison. 9 fully stop you off your rights. DC & 2 State let you vote from prison. The others are some level of parole or parole and probation.

Which means overall 9/51 are full loss: everywhere else you can theoretically get it back.

I like it because you mentioned it in the other thread with me and I’ve stolen it.

emoto™ is mine now… You can license it from me for $7Trillion

Tbf I think felons should be allowed to vote.

… Unless your felony was committed while voting. That seems like an exception…

I like emoto

Yeah the emoto are super pricey.

Ebikes definitely have more variability across the market. You can get a pretty damn good one in the 1k range, which seems reasonable given the price of batteries.
