Six years ago today, Jeff Sessions announced the family separation policy. More than 1,400 kids still haven't been reunited. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/05/07/immigration-family-separation/

Scenario: all your currently owned cars have been vaporized in a microwave/non-dairy creamer accident. John Wick will eliminate you and everyone you've ever made eye contact with unless you buy a BRAND new off-the-lot car from a local brick'n'mortar dealership (local here meaning within your state or whatever the analogue to state is for your country). To make this purchase you have your current finances and credit.

What new car are you buying?

Oatmeal raisin is vastly superior to chocolate chip, but if you disagree, that's fine and I'm glad you get a cookie you enjoy.

I just tooted 🎺 earlier about finding myself behind a #Mazda #MX5 #Miata and one of the responses mentioned the dynamics etc.

I’ve never been a big fan of manuals (although I love shiftable automatics) but maybe I should drive the right one to understand why so many #WeirdCar fans desire them.

I’ve driven a Golf Mk I manual (not GTi), a Mercedes-Benz (hated it), and a few other nondescript manual rentals in various guises.

If you had to drive ONE manual to understand, which would it be?

Our #Roadtrek trip up to the #NorthYorkshireCoast last week was a bit wet and windy But the dogs and us thoroughly enjoyed it. The sun did come out briefly too.

Only three humans have ever witnessed an eclipse of the Sun by the Earth. It happened while the Apollo 12 crew was returning home from the Moon, on November 21, 1969.

Fortunately, the astronauts filmed the moment so you can share in the experience.

https://archive.org/details/Apollo1216mmOnboardFilm [at the 4:50 mark] #space #science #nasa #eclipse

Footage of the eclipse of the sun was taken with a 16mm motion picture camera from the Apollo 12 spacecraft during its trans-Earth journey home from the moon. The fascinating view was created when the Earth moved directly between the sun and the Apollo 12 spacecraft. Aboard Apollo 12 were astronauts Charles Conrad Jr., commander; Richard F. Gordon Jr., command module pilot; and Alan L. Bean, lunar module pilot. While astronauts Conrad and Bean descended in the Lunar Module (LM) "Intrepid" to explore the Ocean of Storms region of the moon, astronaut Gordon remained with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) "Yankee Clipper" in lunar orbit.

Driving engagement - what is it?

Is it having a car that keeps you occupied with noise, gear changes and having to be active to get it along a road?

Is it one that leaves you to get along the road and pay attention to all of your surroundings rather than fussing unduly with the car?

Are you engaged with the operation of the machinery or engaged with the higher level task of driving itself?

Does the higher level driving task include feeling what the car is doing at any time?

Discuss 🙂

Lieberman was a POS, and one of the things I am still happy about doing during my tenure at the Senate was building a server room across from his office and having the Architect of the Capitol reroute cooling from his office to keep my servers cool and make his office miserable.

Interesting:

"Bezos cited literacy, poverty, and infant mortality rates as examples of humanity's progress. But humanity's progress is to the detriment of planet Earth, he said.

'There's one thing that is moving backwards, and it's the natural world,' Bezos told Fridman. 'We have traded some of that pristine beauty for all of these other gifts that we have as an advanced society. And we can have both, but to do that, we have to go to space.'"

Except for the space optimism he is correct.

It's not dangerous to share this in a like-minded audience, but here goes..

Only two kinds of people support Trump:

1. people with the same criminal mindset

2. people who don't know what's going on

“In a drastic attempt to protect their beachfront homes, residents in Salisbury, Massachusetts, invested $500,000 in a sand dune to defend against encroaching tides. After being completed last week, the barrier made from 14,000 tons of sand lasted just 72 hours before it was completely washed away”
