Forgive me for only TLDW and not watching, but was ack mentioned?

I’ve never looked back.

Flashbacks to when I lived in the UK and so much misinformation in the (failed) referendum to get it there.

Made me realize: Consider the average voter and then consider explaining the merits of different voting systems to them. It’ll never happen.

Confirmed 😄

So conflicted. On the one hand good to see them actually sticking to the rules as written, but then: common sense 😵‍💫

Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson:

It scans all the activity on your phone, or your devices, your laptop, what have you; we do all of it,” Johnson told the panel about the app

It sends a report to your accountability partner. My accountability partner right now is Jack, my son. He’s 17. So he and I get a report about all the things that are on our phones, all of our devices, once a week. If anything objectionable comes up, your accountability partner gets an immediate notice. I’m proud to tell ya, my son has got a clean slate.”

OP using word ‘convinced’ is relevant here because whilst most people in USA ‘need’ a car (because there is no practical alternative to driving), they are being convinced every day that a private car is the only viable solution to transport in general…

… and then of course you get everyone freaking out when someone has the audacity to suggest that installing a dedicated bike / bus lane would mean less people need a car, and that would save everyone time and money.

Also while I’m ranting, I’m so over people harping on about how they can’t rely on public transit and that’s why they need a car. Like reliable and affordable public transport is some magical and unobtainable goal.

But then when gas prices inevitably get crazy high, or they get in a wreck, or traffic is a mess then that’s just The Way It Is and in no way an indication that maybe everyone driving a personal car for every single trip isn’t the most reliable or sustainable way to run a city.

Latest ep. of Strict Scrutiny podcast (“AITA? SCOTUS Edition”) has a good deep dive on this.

10/10 would visit again.

I fell in love with him after the execution of the Dasani video. Walking backward ten minute single take, amazing: https://youtu.be/wD79NZroV88

Did you see spin off Practical Construction yet? That’s next level production, my wife laughed at me waiting for next ep like it’s GoT or something.

Also do you notice that YT never pushes PBS videos? I’m subscribed but always have to go to channel.

Since you like a lot of same as me: check out Climate Town.

What a lazy joke.

You inspired me to look up List of space programs of the United States - Crewed government-led programs and a couple of things jump out at me:

1. I’d completely forgotten about Ares I-X.
2. I’d completely forgotten that Orion was supposed to go to the ISS, and:
3. Orion EFT-1 was nine years ago today; two flights in nine years, just so sad.

Indirect, but you could run a Storj node and donate the profits to a good cause of your choice.

Also, assuming you don’t buy more hardware, and you believe sustainability is a good cause, then running a node in itself is a good thing.

Makes it officially first time drivers have remained same between seasons, I think.

If you have F1TV you can eek out another five minutes of action watching Sainz’ onboard, as his car is loaded on a flat bed.

Okay, I’ll start: was something else supposed to happen at the end there?

And you can watch it for free on YouTube, at least in USA.

There are fresh concerns as to how casino employees will get to work once the Strip is closed so Max Verstappen can win another race in a season where he long ago clinched the championship.

Never has a sentence so succinctly described how I suspect a lot of people feel.

I sure wish I hadn’t listened to a preseason stuff, and just thrown a bet on them because I’m a fan. Can’t imagine what the odds would have been back then. Especially Lando 4th in driver.
