I have a case on my Pixel 8 only because I don’t like how sharp the edges are around the screen and on the camera bar.

Yes, all domestic flights in North America are Seattle to NYC.

With the current level of train infrastructure and service, I agree with you. That is why domestics flights are a thing. But trains would be a much better choice if rail wasn’t actively defunded and sabotaged for the last 70 years or so.

Its this lack of imagination of what could be (and already exists around the world) that makes everyone laugh at Americans.

Domestic flights should basically not be a thing. Trains should be the default option if you don’t have to cross an ocean.

Unless training data is made available, a model is not open source. DeepSeek is better described as “open weight”.

Should the role of government be to say:

Sorry, corporations, you’re going to have to pay your fair share of taxes so our citizens aren’t dying in the streets

Or

Sorry, peasents, you’re going to have to die in the streets so that corporations can continue to make record profits

I tend to think it should be the former. As a Canadian, we have a federal election coming up and it sucks that there is no (relevant) political party that shares my opinion.

You copy some text from a webpage and put it in your markdown/LaTeX document in your text editor, like vim. Then you use pandoc/pdf-latex to export in whatever file format you need. It never looks wonky, it looks exactly like you tell it to.

Is this something I’m too markdown/LaTeX pilled to understand?

The most recent Intel Core 2 Duo was discontinued in 2008. I doubt Intel would be able to convince anyone that this is a competing product or would cause any customer confusion. No one is going to be looking for a low end processor from over a decade ago and accidentally buy a watch.

Does it use just standard watch bands? It looks like it, but I didn’t see it mentioned.

One of the things I find ridiculous about other smart watches is that they use proprietary bands. When I found out that people are paying $60+ for a silicon band for an Apple watch, it blew my mind. Also that people put screen protectors or cases on their Apple watches because their $500+ watch doesn’t even have a crystal lens, and is prone to scratching.

Even if someones neighborhood wasn’t designed well, changing zoning laws to allow for more density may make it more viable to put transit there. Then this hypothetical person’s normally 20 minute cycle could become a 5 minute walk + 10 minute tram ride on extra hot or extra blizzardy days.

Obviously no one is suggesting moving freight by bicycle.

Someone addressed your first point. But the second two are only true when your city is so spread out to make room for huge roads and parking lots between everything. Not to mention zoning laws that make it illegal to build denser housing, or to build a grocery store near where people live.

Nice straw man, my guy. Clearly I’m not telling people to live somewhere they cannot afford. Some places where it is possible to live car free/car light are super expensive. The reason for that is those are the places with the highest demand, because lots of people realize that is the best way to live.

I’m not saying “just move”, I’m saying be a YIMBY. Be the person that writes your city councilor or goes to town hall meetings and says “Yes, please build more transit”, or “Yes, please build more bike lanes”, or “Yes, please build higher density housing”. The more places where it is possible to live car free/car light, the more the demand will be eased and it will become more affordable.

Also, it may already be more affordable than you think, if you consider your housing and transportation as a single item in your budget. The average car owner spends over $1000 per month to own and operate a car. So even if you move to somewhere the rent is 50% higher, you may still come out ahead by giving up your car.

Unless you live in Phoenix, your city was not build around cars. Your city was built around train stations and street cars. Sections of it were bulldozed in the last couple of decades to make room for more cars.

I’ve never had to shell out thousands of dollars to repair a train/bus/bicycle/shoes.

Motornormativity is a driving factor (pun intended) of the cost of living affordability crisis and class inequality.

I played so much MK64 that I know can’t beat literally anyone, but have found I can beat everyone that makes statements like this. I know how many people I can’t beat, and they make up the top thousand or so positions of this list.

I would say that I am not good, but better than the average player at this game. It is the only game I say this about.

Strubb’s pickles. They are supposed to be back under a new owner, but I still can’t find them in any local grocery store.

You took me by the hand

-Start making list of tasks.

-I wonder if there is a nvim plugin for this

-Spend 6 hours on nvim config

-Finally, I can be productive
