So tired of fake car safety activists screaming about how touch screens are inherently dangerous when they don't spend any time experiencing what it's like to switch between car manufacturers because they live in a world where they e.g., only buy Fords so nothing ever changes in their view and everything is familiar

I'm on a vacation and my mother in law who has been driving for 40 years can't figure out how to get her Nissan into Reverse because they made the shifter bizarrely complicated for no good reason at all

I'm driving this piece of shit to pick up some necessities and nearly getting killed because there's a million buttons and lights everywhere unlabeled, all the steering wheel controls -- of which there are far too many to be safe -- are in a completely different layout than every other car I've driven.

This shit complete lunacy. The problem isn't touch screens, it's familiarity. If you want cars to be safe you need to mandate a standard layout of all buttons and controls in every car. Zero deviation. Every car should be identical.

Give me back my Tesla, a car that's actually safe to drive and has as minimal of an interior as possible

Only 7 of these in the world (albino but blue eyes -- referred to as Leucistic)

Of course it was an oil company tearing apart the swamp in Louisiana that found them

The e-mail messenger - Delta Chat https://delta.chat/en/

I think it might be a good time to revisit Delta Chat, an E2EE chat system that actually piggybacks over email. Setup an email server somewhere, give accounts to trusted parties, everyone's messages are routed through one known trusted system

You can reuse existing email accounts and it does work for every email provider, but for ultimate privacy it would probably be wise to use an email server that does nothing else

It's a #Droplet!

No! It's an #Aerosol!

Wait! It's #Airborne!

How big is it? How fast does it fall to the ground? How far does it travel?

Stay back 6 feet MFer!

Gimme sanitizer!

In a rather anti...

No, that's not the word I'm going to use...

Anti-CLIMACTIC

(because... 4.5 years!)

...move, the WHO have now approved the use of the simple, easy to understand phrase

"through the air"

to describe how #Covid is spread.

If you want free water, buy land and drill a well. You deal with the capital expense and maintenance.

If you want free electricity, buy land and erect solar. You deal with the capital expense and maintenance.

Dreaming of a world where power utilities exist and somehow suffer through periods of negative prices is complete ignorance about how the energy markets even work. Or how long term capital projects and maintenance are funded. If the utilities aren't getting paid, banks aren't getting paid. And you're not going to like what happens next.

How do you know you've been gaslighted?

when a Bank of England director tells you its 'possible' interest rates will be reduced over the summer....

Of course its possible they'll be reduced, but my guess is they'll just want to keep them high a little longer... just to make sure those pesky workers & their demands for a return to pst standards of living have been firmly dampened down.

Perhaps, by some strange co-incidence they'll fall the month before an Autumn election?

Airlines really have found ways to gouge their customers despite receiving huge subsidies from the government. You think you’re paying some cheap fare for plane tickets, but the journey ends up costing a ton more than that. :blobfoxangry:

Does anyone happen to know if it is possible to get a projector for an open space at #PyConUS? I have some ideas that involve discussions of code where it would be useful if a participant could share their screen with a larger group.

If neurodivergent people can be called "neurospicy", does that mean neurotypical people can be called "neurobland"? :blobfoxthinkgoogly:

The Why Files is a conspiracy/supernatural channel but it has the best video on the secret NSA spying hub in New York City that I've seen yet.

> It's difficult to explain to people what it was like to see Hulk Hogan in the 1980s as a child, the closest explanation I can give is it's as if Superman were real.

"Libertarians are terrible weirdo anarchist lunatics", they say without acknowledging that the country's founders would agree with almost everything Libertarians stand for
