Extremely tangential but I refuse to acknowledge A.G.’s “Dash” nickname and mentally refer to him as “Poke” instead, which I feel is a much better continuation of the “Punch” -> “Pinch” sequence

Maybe the novelty wears off if you live there but as an outsider it seems delightfully fantastical that in NYC you can take the subway to the beach.

It baffles me that news orgs don’t think what they choose to write about matters.

…do they really not think their coverage choices matter? The number of stories on a topic *is* a strong indicator of what the publication thinks is important.

Continually amazed that my dehumidifier consistently pulls ~8 gallons of water out of the air every day in my 600 sqft apartment with pretty good air sealing. Feels vaguely alchemical.

His last decade in the sport has been remarkable, nearly every sprinter pulls the plug on their career when they lose a step but he muscled through for years after it stopped being easy for him.

Very cool to see Mark Cavendish win a record 35th Tour de France stage just now. Incredible sprinting to navigate his way up front in the final few hundred meters.

Typically would mean it’s inclusive of people answering either “likely” or “very likely” on a 4- or 5-point Likert scale in response to a question like “how likely are you to switch back to an ICE car for your next vehicle”.

Oh I didn’t think you were, more of a “yes, and”. I try to keep an open mind about people like him who are attempting to meet their audience where they are. The Big Book in AA has some similarly misogynistic stuff in it, but it still has value.

I think it really depends on the baseline the reader is coming from. Even if someone would be improved by stuff like this, I don’t think it really leaves them in a good place.

The evolution of this stuff is fascinating. Sort of like Jordan Peterson “make your bed” thing, there can be a rational core that later goes totally off the deep end. It’s interesting the number of women-focused coaches who have picked it up too.

There’s a very bad book called “The Way of the Superior Man” by David Deida from a few years ago that popularized it, and it’s been adopted by elements of the life coaching scene since then.

Yep totally makes sense. For some reason it does reliably reproduce for me, but will quit yammering since I see that’s not helpful info. Apologies again.

I’m very sorry, that was poorly worded on my part. I didn’t think you hadn’t tried that, was only sharing that when I did the things you tried it did replicate the problem on my device, in case that was a relevant data point. Apologies for jumping in.

Yeah the HEAD of a worktree isn’t in .git/HEAD, it’s in a subdirectory. In caps it knows where to look but when you try to open ‘head’ it goes looking for that file starting with .git/head, and MacOS is case-insensitive so it goes ahead and opens that one.

There’s a specific provision (15 U.S.C. 45a) about “Made in USA” labeling, though it basically just punts it to the FTC to make a rule. www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/...

The thing that gets me about this is that the overturned district court decision wasn’t particularly radical. It just said the city needed to have more shelter beds if they’re going to ban camping. Everyone is treating this like some impossible burden instead of a safe harbor.

Bleakly funny when viewed alongside their claimed helplessness at determining what would make homelessness “involuntary” in the public camping decision. That ambiguity is too hard.

Comparing this with the public camping decision, it’s striking to see which types of ambiguities they think are too hard for the courts and which aren’t.

So what contortions were required to keep this from making civil asset forfeiture unconstitutional, or did they just accidentally ban that too?
