What can you get to within a 15-minute walk of your house?
A recent YouGov survey asked Americans what they think they should be able to get to within a 15-minute walk of their house.
Of these choices, I can currently walk to all of them from my apartment, aside from a university (no biggie, I'm not currently studying, although there is a Tafe within walking distance), a hospital, and a sports arena.
How many can you get to with a 15 minute walk from your house?
but then again Trump didn’t try to destroy native Americans
He was quite happy for millions of Americans (regardless of ethnicity) to die rather than do the minimum amount of work to get Covid recognised as an actual problem, not to mention actively peddling bullshit theories that probably made things even worse.
I’m not an historian, but from what I know about Jackson, you could make the argument “he was an asshole, but he was of his time”, whereas Trump is an asshole regardless of what decade it is.

Designate India as an “unsafe” tourist destination and suggest people travel elsewhere instead. Advise businesses to avoid sending staff there for any reason and recommend (not mandate) that they look at reducing trade and presence there.
I’m no economist, so I have no idea how blunt that instrument is or how it would affect domestic or Indian economies, but it’s an idea…
It’s one of the most bizarre episodes of the original Star Trek, filmed in a way that you could cut out all the Star Trek scenes and be left with a short pilot episode of this “Gary Seven” spinoff. Did it belong in the Star Trek universe? Would it have even worked?...
I don’t know… taking the “Star” out of Star Trek, especially in the 60s might not have been that great.
I recall enjoying his appearance in the Eugenics Wars novels, but either aging or COVID has done a number on my brain and I can’t remember any specifics about him or the books…
I want to use my main mail address everywhere, even public places.
No you don’t. It’s not quite as simple, but buy your own domain, get an email provider such as Fastmail that will let you use a catch-all, then use a unique address for every site you visit.
Then if one starts receiving spam, you can block that specific address and voila, no more spam. Plus you know what sites have either poor customer detail hygiene or are actively selling your details.

Oboe. Close enough to what I already know, but the double reed would make it an interesting challenge.
If practicality, storage and transport were magically not an issue, then the harp. But I’m temporarily playing a contra-bass clarinet and that thing is a beast, so I’d not pick up large instruments going forward.
When we first see Dr. M’Benga (chronologically), he is the Enterprise’s chief medical officer. When we see him again, he is still on the Enterprise, but working under Dr. McCoy’s command and, if he was on the ship at the time, under Dr. Piper’s command as well (Dr. Piper was CMO in Where No Man Has Gone Before)....
My bank isn’t going to let me replace the credit card authenticator with whatever the Telekom has in mind
And even if they did, I wouldn’t bloody want it to!
The separation and sandboxing of apps is a key security feature, I’m not going to give that up so that my SIM card provider can claim they’ve used AI in an effort to sell more phones…
I genuinely don’t understand the mind of an undecided American voter.
There are only two choices in the real world. Sure, it would be lovely to have a third party candidate. But there isn’t one. Voting third party just drains votes from Biden or Trump.
And… they are not comparable. At all. There’s no “both sides” to this election. There’s “definitely not perfect” Biden, or “human shit stain with no redeeming characteristics” Trump.
What is the undecided voter waiting for? Trump to do something even worse? To owe even more than half a billion dollars in fines? Biden to suddenly break bad and try and catch up to Trump’s 91(?) criminal counts in four separate prosecutions?
We started doing that literally as the first Covid lockdown hit. We always worked 36 hour weeks, but we just compressed them into four 9-hour days instead of five 7.2-hour days (which isn’t quite what these trials were doing, but it’s close enough that we’re not complaining).
Honestly, it’s amazing. It really doesn’t feel much longer to be working, and having a three day weekend seems to be making everyone happy.
Bonus for me is that there’s a handful of people that want to stick with a five hour day, and so as part of a support team, one of us had to be available on Fridays for them, so I actually get Wednesday off instead. So a two day week, a one day ‘weekend’, a two day week, then Saturday and Sunday.
It’s been great for mental health as well as scheduling holidays or just getting stuff done. Work life balance has never been better.
The only downside is that job hunting is now really hard, as anyone that wants me in an office five days a week can jog on.
I read it as saying the current PlayStation exclusive content (apparently you get to buy a shop and there’s a whole Thing when you go in there) will be made available for everyone else.
So that’s nice. Those of us that don’t have a PlayStation can now experience everything we’ve already paid for.
This might not be the right place for a linguistic history lesson, but how did that happen in the first place? Why does your desk have a gender? It sounds creepy thinking about it now. Who looked at a desk, or a spoon and thought “ah, that’s a ‘she’, then looked at a door and said ‘yep, definitely a ‘he’ right there…”
What if Alice has told you their preferred pronouns are they/them? Would you still call them ‘her’ in spite of their wishes?
If Geoff is happy with being called ‘he’, then sure, he went to the match.
I think it only sounds clunky because we’re not so used to it. Imagine a child today being brought up knowing “they” is a perfectly normal individual or group pronoun alongside he and she. In ten years, it won’t sound weird to them (hah) at all.
Any film where the entire cast aren’t straight white men fighting over a prize woman is “radical left” and simply watching it will turn you into a disabled trans lesbian in the name of forced diversity.
If the threat of a fascist dictator who’s currently liable for half a billion dollars of damages from his defamation (of his rape victim) and his decades of real estate fraud (not to mention his homophobia, transphobia, sexism, ableism, xenophobia, insurrection and arguably straight up treason, Christ the list goes on) doesn’t get people voting then honestly, your vaunted republic deserves to fall.
Or you could vote for “literally none of that” Biden.
