HSR should give this guy bus driver training!

I wonder if their Fex software will be extensible to other devices and open sourced.

Alright, the VR set I’ve been waiting for!

What I love about Valve is you can tell they are clearly taking stuff they learned from their earlier products (Deck, Index, Controller, Machine) to combine it and make it better.

Luckily I have several email accounts, and my most important one has not been added yet.

I think much of the gatekeeping is over concern that if you mess up, you could unknowingly be allowing a sophisticated hacker to access all the data on your network, without any obvious signs. And maybe some people don’t want to field noob questions like “I clicked something and now the GUI gives a 😕 and doesn’t work anymore, what do I do?”.

There is a skill floor, I would say similarly that you wouldn’t be ready to install Linux yourself if you don’t get suspicious when a .iso download gives you a .exe file instead.

I think Yunohost is a decent solution for beginners that avoids as much of the nitty-gritty as possible. Louis Rossman has made a massive guide that’s about as close as an IKEA step-by-step as you can get with this stuff. We should be encouraging people to learn, but there is a sense of reticence to have people get too in over their heads due to cybersecurity reasons.

Edit: linked the guide

See the following from https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flatulence

In mammals like humans, the gases come from two sources: swallowed air (for example, while eating, talking or drinking) and gases naturally created by bacteria in the body during digestion.

Kind of sad to think this alone should be a country stopping moment, but it’d been buried under the garbage dump full of other cruel, illegal and unconstitutional things this administration had done.

Get hired on condition that they get to investigate the President and his cronies.

Neil planted a drumstick in the ground as a teenager, it sprouted into a drum pedal, and before he knew it, cymbals were in full bloom around him.

May he enjoy eternal bliss with his infinite-piece drum kit.

The 9 or so Senators capitulating genuinely don’t need to care, as they largely aren’t up for election next year or are retiring.

I’ve been wondering about the process. Reporting says the bill is amended to add 3 small bills are attached to it, does that count as needing the House to reopen to approve the additions or anything?

but when there’s no bike path, where else to ride?

That’s in the vehicle lane, which is the point I’m making here. It’s better to be in people’s direct line of vision. If they were distracted on their phone and couldn’t see you in the middle of the road, they won’t see you on the shoulder.

I’m trying my best not to antagonize you for your choices. Ride however you feel safest and comfortable. Riding in the road isn’t safe for everyone, and riding on the shoulder or sidewalk is safer depending on your bike, what your roads look like, and the local rules. Often times like you say there’s no ideal option. All I ask is you don’t chastise other people just for making assessments for what is the safest option in their circumstances, based on your own generalized assessment.

The oven has finished preheating for Poilievre’s goose.

Carney is indeed out-conservativing the Conservatives, but that’s happened before with the Chrétien government. So I think this is within the reasonable band of Liberal left-right political wobbling. Poilievre is kind of analogous to the 90’s Reform party of Canada, the wing of social conservatism seems to line up with Poilievre’s Maple MAGA Conservatives. The Liberals moving right is not an irreversible ratchet effect that I think some people here fear, it will swing back at some point in many years from now. Of course, harmful policies absolutely should be pushed back against, but it’s not an inevitability or if a push to stop one fails, it’s not over forever.

Even closer to town where the shoulder lane ‘looks clear’, you can clearly see the difference in road condition where it looks coated in a layer of sand/gravel within which glass pieces can conceal themselves. and swerving into car lanes to avoid larger obstacles is even more dangerous, anyway.

That day I took my bike on the bus from Federal Way, so I didn’t ride in the city that time, but look at the shoulder width in Bellevue., you get 30cm (1ft) of space on the shoulder. If you ride on the side here, you will be treated by drivers the same as a garbabe bin out on collection day.

Maybe your local government takes care of your suburban, exurban and rural arterial roads to a point they are pristine enough and there’s plenty of space for you to bike on the side. I’m happy for you then, but don’t put the failures of infrastructure on the individual.

I’ve done that before and that only leads to every car passing me at 65 km/h (41mph) only 45cm (1.5ft), rather than moving to the other lane, passing and then going back. Outside American city cores where shoulders are wider, there’s often trash and debris there. So I’d rather get yelled at by a few impatient drivers than risk my life passing closely, or risk a flat tire from glass shards or flipping over going over a broken chunk of concrete.

This is a serious issue when it comes to Indigenous self-determination. There’s not one Indigenous representative that speaks for every band affected by a project like this. The Nisga’a are elated by investment in the community, other neighbouring nations are fully against any intrusion of a pipeline. I think a solution will need to be settled before we start building this.

Most of the point of C-5 is that it will be that Texas shell company’s money spent and not the government, whereas government gets its share of taxes and royalties. BC had better made sure it pencils out for them in scenarios where LNG prices are high, low or negative, and not subsidize this project if it doesn’t.

They’re putting up “The Oval Office” signs next to the office door, which one can infer is there so that Donald Dementia can remember where he is stumbling about.

Stickers and nice words won’t win us back. But perhaps some more S O C I A L I S M could?

All for Mike Johnson (R-LA)'s continued paid vacation.
