TIL USB-C trigger boards are a thing 🤯

I can finally charge up my Jackery external battery thingy with just a USB-C charger, instead of needing its bulky AC power brick (just modified its 12V car charger with the trigger board)

@clive a tire had a blowout and caused a fire, how is that Boeing's fault? Just because the vehicle was originally built by the company? A 29 year old 737. Did you post this because it includes an outdated quote from you?

Wowza. Booking a Lyft right now to downtown shows $75. Yellow Cab App shows $30-40. Am gonna give the new app a whirl and cross my fingers that the fare isn't ridiculous with a meter. (One thing I don't love about cabs.)

Last time I took a cab from the airport, it was fully $20 less than the same trip had been a week earlier with Lyft. The rideshare apps are seeming like no longer such a good deal...

Random vocabulary question for sailors: this article talks about "boaters" on the coast, and I believe that anyone on the ocean is considered a "sailor" even if not on a sailboat (also, that you call anything on the ocean a "ship", as long as you could fit a dinghy on it). And you only use "boater" in the context of someone in freshwater/on a river, not using a sail. Anyone want to enlighten me on the proper usage? #sailing #boating #vocabulary #marine

Good morning to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.

But here we’ve been having some discussions about the future of #Ukraine.

Our Ukrainian staff have opposing views.

Myroslava is optimistic.

Ross is pessimistic.

But everyone is tired.
