  • MAGA Enters Racist Meltdown Mode Over Zohran Mamdani’s New York Win

  • "Enters"? You mean they weren't already in racist meltdown mode?

  • TIL Disney killed a bunch of puppies making "Snow Buddies" and weren't allowed to use the "no animals were harmed" claim

  • What's the conventional wisdom as to why this is so bad, but eating meat basically gets a pass? Like, meat offers sustenance, yes, but it's by no means required. So basically, humans eat meat because it tastes really good --- it's great "culinary entertainment."

    This is a different kind of entertainment, but it's deeply offensive to many folks. I'm not trying to be a dick about it, just curious why this is seen as such a sin.

    Is it that these animals weren't "supposed" to be killed? Would a movie about a beef cow who ends up getting slaughtered, both onscreen and IRL, be seen as better? Worse?

  • Toronto is considering raising parking fees and lowering transit fares during concerts and sports games to encourage people to take public transit rather than their car

  • Sadly, Falco's Rock Me Amadeus came out several years before this revelation. I wonder what additional color would have been added to the song had it been known beforehand.

  • I think it's probably better to amend it to, "if it was covered in poop would you get rid of it and not replace it?"

  • Talk to your manager.

    Shortly after I was hired, my manager told me I should feel free to decline any meeting that didn't seem useful, or that if it was preventing me from getting "real" work done.

  • As neglected as the 7 button on a microwave

  • Not parent, but when a minute isn't quite enough, 77 seconds might do the trick. Multiples of eleven are quick to enter, and with a simple nuker with no "minute" button, 66s is easier than 1:00.

  • If you want to build apartments and homes in Nashville, you are required to build parking for cars. Otherwise, the city council will kill your project.

    Jump

  • On the one hand, that sucks, on the other...well, what really sucks is that it's probably necessary given the state of public transit and bikeability. (Haven't been to Nashville, so I can't comment on public transportation there.)

  • Any city in the US

    I don't think that's correct, for example, San Francisco:

    On December 11, 2018, the Board of Supervisors passed an ordinance (the “Ordinance”) eliminating required parking minimums citywide for all uses.

  • build walkable communities

    Jump

  • This does exist in major US cities, especially the older (by US standards) ones. I'm in San Francisco, in a "good" neighborhood, and restaurants, groceries, bars, and multiple forms of public transit are all a short walk away. This is very different in car centric suburbs/cities though.

  • Magic beyond comprehension rule

  • Have you encountered modern shifters? They're fairly involved.

    Electronic shifting, hydraulic brakes, liberal use of sealed cartridge bearings, carbon fiber parts requiring strict torque specs...these are definitely different than 70's friction shift ten-speed bikes.

  • Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPO

    Jump

  • I think a lot of companies view their free plan as recruiting/advertising --- if you use TailScale personally and have a great experience then you'll bring in business by advocating for it at work.

    Of course it could go either way, and I don't rely on TailScale (it's my "backup" VPN to my home network)... we'll see, I guess.

  • ...are Turing Complete, so what you can do with them is exactly equal.

    But they're only equal in the Turing complete sense, which (iirc) says nothing about performance or timing.

  • States != cities, e.g., https://underscoresf.com/heres-what-you-make-as-a-low-income-earner-in-san-francisco/

    If you own own a modest place (<2000 square feet) in a decent (not "old money") neighborhood in San Francisco and have kids, I would be shocked if your household income isn't $350k+/year. If that's considered "upper class" then it's a very sad statement about how standards of living have degraded --- this is likely comfortable living but it is not exotic car + first class airfare money. And it's almost certainly "less house" than you'd like.

    And unless you inherited a lot, you definitely need to keep working to afford that modest lifestyle.
