TV show, not movie, but no, definitely not saying we should ban anything.

Given that the series handled his transition fairly head on, pretty sure no one wants to destroy the older seasons.

My only question was that this meme is directly referring to the top character as a woman. Most times I see this meme it doesn’t have any references to gender (“morning shift going to work at 6am / night shift coming home at 6am,” or something like that).

Is using an old picture of Elliot Page — and referencing women — considererd poor form? Honest question, I really don’t know the etiquette.

San Francisco is taking an interesting approach to this problem: https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/sf-police-wear-flashy-costumes-to-catch-drivers-19769362.php

The only flaw in Corel’s logic was that as soon as you’re running Linux, you lose all desire to run WordPerfect, and develop an irresistible need to align yourself with vim or emacs…

Sure. But this is kinda just accelerationism/xenophobia, no? For example, replace “Idaho” with “Mexico” in your argument, and it gets pretty ugly pretty fast IMHO.

ID residents should be banned from receiving medical care in WA.

But I think accelerationist policies often hurt vulnerable people…

I think you need to include energy cost in the preparation stage. Bread requires a hot oven, which is a real amount of electricity — it’s close to $0.40/kWh where I live. From this link it says that a bread maker uses only .36kWh, but an electric oven would be more like 1.6kWh. So bakita single loaf of bread, you end up with a not insubstantial fraction of the total cost going to heating the oven.

Of course, many bulk foods require heat, so it gets a little sticky this way. Oats/oatmeal probably wins out here, as you can just soak them overnight.

A bit nuanced in drought-prone places, though — stone is, well, drought-friendly, but a typical lawn is most certainly not. Best would maybe be drought-resistant native plants…

Ford, Harley- Davidson and Lowe’s are among the companies that announced they would no longer participate in the Corporate Equality Index.

Meanwhile, here are the ones that did well on the Corporate Equality Index link.

Yeah, “serious” cycling — a sport where a $1k bike barely qualifies as a bike, $5k gets you something rideable, and $10k gets you a pretty decent bike — is so anti-consumer!

(I love cycling, and I’ll defend spending more on my power meter pedels than I would spend on a decent used bike. More bike lanes everywhere please!)

And water has great heat capacity, with a nice phase change, too.

From reading other links in this post, it sounds like pollution (runoff) is a concern, which is unfortunate.

Yeah, I wanted Harris to completely eviscerate Trump, which didn’t exactly happen. But I don’t think that’s because she did poorly — it’s because I know who I’m voting for, and I’m not the target audience.

Had it been the proverbial bloodbath that I wanted to see, it might not have played well with independents/those on the fence (which I blame largely on sexism — a ruthless woman is “a bitch,” but a ruthless man is “strong,” etc.).

Judging from the headlines and conversations I’m seeing, I think she really threaded the needle — came across as strong, intelligent, leader-like, all the while giving Trump enough rope to hang himself. More might have alienated voters, and less might have come across as too soft. Really good stuff from her and her campaign.

I always say I have a 1969 Wayne Industries Batmobile. Usually a sheepish, “oh, um, we don’t cover that, sorry. click”

Right — plenty of fog, but not a lot of salty spray.

Or go full CW, and just transmit source code in binary as dits and dahs. (So long as you document what you’re doing it should be legal, though I’m not sure if you should use the CE portion of he band since it’s nonstandard…)

A new good stroller is $600+.

That is less than a week of daycare in our area. Ignoring thinking about college, daycare is the only cost that matters in terms of our kid. Everything else is pocket change, comparatively speaking. And the $5k dependent FSA amount is a total joke.

My university was pretty zen about this — essentially, “don’t use your own access point/router please. But if you do, please talk to your resident (University employed) student IT rep and they can probably help you set it up correctly.”

It’s easy to remember c and ℏ if they’re both 1…

…but was it the “Windows Uninstall” button…or the “format /dev/sda1 as ext4” button?

California has optional mail ballots for everyone. Can’t imagine voting without it — I can fill out my ballot at my leisure, researching measures when I have time. No need to remember anything or make a cheat sheet for election day. And no standing in line.
