Seems like at some point there should just be a hard limit on size / market cap of corporations.

41 adult men aged 18 to 26 (M = 20.17, s.d. = 2.16) recruited from a subject pool at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

So not representative of adults / the overall population, but still interesting.

Sexual desire was assessed as a composite score from three questions: (i) ‘Yesterday, how much did you have sexual thoughts?’ (ii) ‘Yesterday, how much did you have sexual fantasies?’ (iii) ‘Yesterday, how much sexual desire did you experience?’

First, a single item inquired about overall mate attraction efforts on each day: ‘How much effort did you put into attracting a possible romantic and/or sexual partner yesterday?’ (same 1–7 scale as above). Second, because such efforts may be highly dependent on social exposure to potential partners, we also targeted a binary measure of such exposure: ‘Yesterday, did you have a direct social interaction with anyone you found attractive as a potential romantic and/or sexual partner, but who was not your romantic or sexual partner at the time?’ (Yes/No).

Not a lot that’s quantitative. But I guess I would expect to answer those questions differently over the course of a month.

Lovely light and cloth.

Also is the secret about the length of his left forearm?

I do think there’s use in reputable sources enshrining obvious facts about bad things going on. Nice to be able to point to them and say “see, it definitely is bad!” when people want to pretend it’s fine. (Or, “see, Exxon clearly knew decades ago,” for the good that does us.)

Members include Chargepoint, EA, Tesla, Rivian, Ford, and flo, among others. Seems like a good list.

Surprised to see Shell on there, I guess they’re serious about getting into charging.

My first thought too, though I’m hopeful there’s nothing too established yet so a new standard can gain dominance.

I haven’t been able to find how non-Rivian owners will pay. Credit card, Chargepoint?

From the US Holocaust Memorial Museum:

The Dachau concentration camp trial opened on November 2, 1945 in Dachau, Germany. Forty individuals who had participated in the operation of the Dachau concentration camp were charged with the murder and mistreatment of foreign nationals imprisoned there. Among those charged were Martin Gottfried Weiss, the camp commandant from 1942-1943; Dr. Klaus Karl Schilling, an SS physician who was brought to Dachau to find a method of immunizing people against malaria; and three former prisoners. The trial lasted from November 15 to December 13, 1945, with seventy witnesses called for the prosecution and fifty witnesses called for the defense. All forty defendants were found guilty, with thirty-six being sentenced to death by hanging (including Weiss and Schilling), one sentenced to hard labor for life, and three sentenced to hard labor for ten years. A few of the sentences were reduced after a review board determined the defendants were involved to a lesser degree than originally believed, but most were upheld. Weiss was executed on May 29, 1946 and Schilling on May 28, 1946, both in Landsberg Prison.

Yeah, paid my non-refundable deposit (grr), saw him buy Twitter, got out of there, bought a Volvo. Nicer hardware, actually preferable highway self driving for me, infotainment does take several minutes to boot. Very glad not to be trusting Musk’s word for my safety/privacy.

I would subscribe to his YouTube channel!

Interesting article, I hadn’t heard about need for replenishing groundwater v just surface moisture, and for preventing underground fire fuel too. 10 inches is a lot to catch up on, makes the 3" I measured in the last two days sound like much less.

Although the full makeup of Alsym’s battery is still under wraps as the company waits to be granted patents, one of Alsym’s electrodes is made mostly of manganese oxide while the other is primarily made of a metal oxide. The electrolyte is primarily water.

What’s worse is the ones that don’t scatter when you turn on the lights. Just sit there waiting for you to get out of their territory.

For 2023, the number of births with name River is 3084, which represents 0.168 percent of total male births in 2023.

Tundra is not in the top 1000 names for any year of birth beginning with 2020. Please enter another name.

Was looking them up at https://www.ssa.gov/cgi-bin/babyname.cgi but now “This website is temporarily unavailable,” did everyone have the same idea and it’s only resourced for 1qps?

I got a little floss holder, it has drastically changed my willingness to floss. (I think it’s “E-Z Floss”.) I wish any dentist had ever recommended that.

But thanks for the info about implants, I didn’t know that process at all. My grandfather used to say he wished he’d just gotten dentures.

I just made a table saw box joint jig, I like the idea of using that to redo the joints on this.

And thanks for the word of caution about chipping on very hard wood, maybe I can test on a small area.

If so else fails, some nice scrap wood for making splines.

I like the idea of using it as a small decorative shelf, thanks.

And there’s a whole community for them! Not sure how to link to it though.

Back to building with stone, metal, and wood.
