@stux Note in the article in this post (shout out to @universalhub for doing such a great job covering things on the ground here in Boston!) they mention the hybrid car was harder to put out when it caught on fire in the tunnel. Wonder why... https://mastodon.online/@universalhub/112499545513406135
Shout-out to NameCheap. I had two domains expire that I didn't realize (because I had auto-renewal on and a credit card attached but it turns out the credit card wasn't checked "use for renewals”) and I thought I had gone into the redemption period where you have to pay $90 to get them back, which fine, it's my fault. but I contacted support and they were able to renew them for me at the list price.

The first two episodes of the new "Frasier" arrived on Paramount on Oct. 12 to mixed reviews — IndieWire says it's "decent by revival standards, but suffers by comparison." The magazine's team takes a look at the show's heyday in this @Flipboard Storyboard, from why the apartment is one of the all-time greatest sitcom sets, to the gay sensibility of the show. Will you be watching, and if you've already seen it, what do you think?
Benedict Evans' newsletter: "If you follow a lot of car accounts on Instagram, Instagram will show you car ads. A small number of people have persuaded themselves that this violates your human rights and threatens democracy, & persuaded an EU court that explicit consent is needed for this."

That may be one of the dumbest things I've ever read. (That reflects a total lack of understanding of how much personal data needs to be stored, in how many places, and how dangerous storage of that data is, to personalize ads).
