Oh. I don’t know anything about this. Is it weird for an app to be pulled from all of these sites? Do they have a way for the original developer to take it down if they want or some kind of flagging? Does your new phone have a higher Android build, maybe the site checks somehow to match with the right version and then fails? Wild guesses

But the fact that so many stores have dropped it recently, though it’s clear they once had it, may mean something, idk.

That’s fun, reminds me of high school Shakespeare performances

I would love to see this become more common as a sport because the mechanics are just so different and so the strategies will be more diverse-- fun to be at the early stage of learning. The article suggests quadrupedal racers have not even been using the most efficient gait and many other optimizations may yet be realized, so I think their prediction is likely, but not really the point to me.

The thing that triggers the alarm is flat and often applied as sticker. Most likely the bold design is meant to alert the cashier to deactivate it. But if you’re suggesting that you can just keep walking after the alarm goes off, I think your chances are good, unless like all the Walmarts near me, there is a police officer in the exit lobby.

I’m glad people are studying this, and I do agree there is a lot of unwarranted fears mixed up in this topic. But full acceptance of this science will not answer the whole issue, as in this study

All transgender participants had undergone hormone therapy for over a year

Which is not the definition of transgender used by teams and organizations in most of these controversies, if athletes even want to disclose their health history.

So true. This just allows you to give more of your money to a bank over your lifetime. People almost always end up spending as much as they possibly can on a house, usually because they’re in competition with a big cohort with similar income in any given area. This will just raise prices as people can get bigger loans.

As a current homeowner, I’m ok with prices going down if more owner-occupiers are actually getting into the market (and ending up as owners not just tenants to the bank). But as long as speculators and corporations can sweep in and steal the deals these lame policies just feel like more corruption.

I had the same thought. Like, I think Aurora is one of the most expensive ways to do this in AWS. But, since this particular set of data is so well-defined, and unlikely to change, roll your own is maybe not crazy. The transactions per second and size don’t seem that huge to me, so as things grow I imagine they can revisit this.

Ice-9?

Two Portland neighborhoods built on cleared forest are called Sellwood and Moreland. When I heard they were named after people, I thought it was a joke. Further, Moreland was a real estate agent.

I dunno, she looks like a Disney princess.

It’s worth voting for who you like in the primary. Sometimes it has an effect even if the nominee isn’t changed. The administration and Democratic party leadership is more than one person.

I think you make an important point that some of your differences of opinion are due to different experience–the fact that your friend has more contact with people who are suffering and more dependent and have less ability to express themselves. The important thing is to keep an open mind, as it sounds like you are doing, so that as you meet people in different circumstances you don’t ignore the possibility that what’s right for you is not right for them. You don’t have enough information (maybe no one does) to come to a final universal conclusion about this, so it’s ok to disagree. If you want to gain understanding, maybe find a way to have more contact with people more severely impacted than yourself.

No. So maybe this is state of the art, but I hope someone who does will tell me it’s not.

Ok, the article is written badly, but the source is not much better, at least the intro you can read for free.

I propose that Machiavellianism is positively related to environmental activism. Forming alliances and leadership are likely effective strategies in the context of environmental activism, which involves convincing other people to change their environmental attitudes and behaviors

So like, the dysfunctional extreme of a behavior is positively correlated with the high end of a normal functional behavior. Is that news?

No comparison with activism for other causes. The author still strongly supports environmental activism.

Also it was literally a questionnaire given to a few hundred people in one town in Germany. It’s hard to believe people are wasting their time peer reviewing this high school science fair level stuff.

Yeah, I wonder, too. I’ve done the same for $15 copay through Kaiser (individual, marketplace) and Blue cross (employer).

Ok, but plants generally love to have their roots under rocks because water is more likely to be absorbed and protected through dry times. Maybe the rocks are too hot if it is south facing? I would expect the daisy in the flat clay lawn to die first. Forgive if this doesn’t add to the conversation.

long blurry clip, but same basic message

I think what we lack is the understanding that just knowing the right thing to do doesn’t make it happen, individually or collectively. Because if you look at any of the issues we face you can find people talking about it a hundred, three hundred, a thousand years ago, but it’s like the solutions only get traction under some special lightning in a bottle circumstances. So you have to keep up the consciousness and the effort and especially creative inspiring things, and know that the failures are to be expected and the successes are so rare they need to be celebrated even when they are imperfect.
