San Francisco did this during the pandemic, and kept it going! And by did it, I mean put up some mild flags at intersections, making those blocks the fastest ones in town!

My smartest friends like trashier TV but not the relationship oriented stuff

Oh god a former company had the burndown chart on a big plasma screen at all times

A few 9/11s a month. If it were terrorism, we’d write a new constitution.

This might be the worst thing trump actually does, including the Jan 6 insurrection. I’m serious. The implications are enormous. Far greater than a million people will die if even a small but significant fraction of people believe his lies, and act accordingly.

When you kiss you are forming a torus with buttholes at either end

What’s the cost difference between this and hiring rotating shifts of nurses anyway? I know the equipment wouldn’t be there but yeah

Could just have a lamp at that point

Yep! Elections are different because they’re on a relentless schedule. Even a judges injunction ain’t worth much

Apple Music is actually such shit. Echoes of iTunes in a way.

I have been on the free trial for three months and, although I can find everything I want, and I can’t notice the difference in sound quality, even as a former live sound guy, I have gripes:

The web app is buggy. I’ll hit play and it doesn’t seem to immediately register. Sometimes it flashes play/pause a couple of times.

Search is garbage in that it sometimes shows things I’ve listened to before, sometimes not.

I have been listening to a podcast. I cannot specify a date range and need to keep. Scrolling. Back in time. Twenty times. Before I can find the episode bell that I’m up to. Because each page of results is like 20 podcasts.

There are penalty of reasons to dislike Apple Music. These are just a few. I’m would never normally drag a company but this is shockingly bad for a company based on the idea that the customer is right.

There was even an you outage a couple of days ago.

I’m cancelling before my free trial ends because it really is bad. I recommend you never sign up.

Motherfuckers

This is a really fascinating scenario. As far as I know, we’ve never had an election re-do. I wonder what in heck could trigger one

I have too, and paid dearly for it. I’m of mixed mind. Most people are trapped.

It may be unpopular around here, but the pardon power of the presidency needs to go.

Especially the power that pardons people for all crimes

It undermines the rule of law and sets a precedent that the president is above the law

It isn’t a check on the judiciary, it’s a way to negate the idea that nobody is above the law.

Case in point: Ford pardoning Nixon Case in point: Biden pardoning his family for any crimes in a time period

“Claude, no function should be more than one or two lines long” lol

To illustrate with just one small example: all recent negative reviews of Yosemite National Park on Google Maps complain about the $100 non-citizen fee to enter. Teddy Roosevelt might be pissed off enough to climb out of his grave.

Yep it’s an authoritarian people that put in an authoritarian state. The war on drugs got us far, and the USA PATRIOT Act got us further. It’s completely bipartisan.

There are no true and viable classical conservative or libertarian parties in the US.

Unfortunately, with many peers in Europe at this stage. They were ok for a while when the memories of the war and later the east German police were fresh, but people eventually begin to demand perfect safety at any cost. And the cycle repeats.
