I’m so sorry you had to experience that. I wasn’t there, but I think about that night a lot. I go to a lot of shows and festivals, and it’s therapeutic to be able to take drugs and dance in the dark with my friends. The idea of a tragedy happening during such a joyful time is just unspeakable. I’m glad you’re safe and I wish you all the healing in the world.

Thank you for writing this.

I got a TCL last year and it wouldn’t let me use the TV until I set up the internet. After 4 factory resets I figured out how to put it in store demo mode, and plugged in a separate streaming device that connects to the internet. Now I realize I could have connected the TV to the internet and then blocked it at the network level.

I believe you need a separate Google account for the separate space, just FYI.

Gambling addiction is the scariest kind of addiction, IMO. You can get sober but you’re still in the hole.

I’ve had several from the a series and I’ve liked them. I currently have the 9a and I hate it. The corners are very round, and important real estate (e.g. buttons, text fields) are regularly cut off and unreachable. There’s no way to fix this that I’ve found.

Aside from revenge against Walz… one theory is that we’re a functioning community that’s ethnically diverse, relatively progressive, union strong, and very friendly to queer folks. Fox News would have you believe that any one of those features creates a godless hellscape, but we’re doing pretty good. Minnesota grew a huge budget surplus under Walz, and then we invested it in schools and social programs. The Republican tradition is to destroy something (see: the federal government) and say, “See? Told you it was broken!”

I don’t know how any of this works. What’s stopping Google from doing the same thing to old phones?

I agree, and to the comment above you, it’s not because it’s guaranteed to reduce symptoms. There are many ways that talking with another person is good for us.

Do you have a source on your claim that data centers recycle water? Because these researchers state that 80% of the water is evaporated, and the other 20% is discharged to municipal wastewater facilities.

Small detail - it was a metal two-wheeled dolly. Much heavier than a chair, and a much higher likelihood of killing someone.

Doesn’t he realize that nobody will vote for a washed-up sexual predator whose only asset is name recognition?

Absolutely maddening that this is the standard they’re begging people to meet. Michael Che had a stand-up special where he said something like, “Did you know that it’s controversial now to say that black lives matter? What would be more acceptable? Black lives exist?”

Ha, I was doing a similar calculation recently. I think the only subscription I ever paid for was Netflix, and for the others I used family and friends’ accounts. Only replacing Netflix, I haven’t broken even, but considering I pirate content from 5-6 different services, it’s absolutely cheaper.

International responses were swift. The United Kingdom expressed hope that Israel would reconsider its decision

Incredible bravery.

Might be more efficient for them to publish a daily count. “Today IDF has killed ___ civilians waiting for food and water.” Just disgusting.

But techbro 10 years ago was an undercut and a leather jacket. I’m hoping there’s a label for this iteration.

Looks like he and Zuck have the same stylist. Anyone know what this look is called, with the oversized tee and chain around his neck?

I know someone who just got hired at an unfinished Meta data center, ostensibly to do some low-level hardware monitoring and maintenance. His boss admitted that he accidentally hired people a couple months too early, so the first couple weeks have consisted of sitting around, eating free food and playing mobile games. Next week they’re being flown to an active data center out of state, but they won’t have much of their own work to do for another 4-6 weeks.

So these guys are being paid $25/hr, 40hrs a week, with a free lunch, and making no money for the company. I would expect any other company to find this unacceptable, but it’s just a drop in the bucket for Meta.
