Saw an RFK sign in the wild for the first time

@AwoogaGeneral There's somebody locally running for office that has the last name "Kennedy", and it throws me for a loop every time I see one of their signs. Mike Kennedy is still a twat though so I think no better of anyone who supports him than anyone who supports RFK.

The relative humidity is 22% and the wind is gusting at 25 mph. I watered my plants and the soil was whipped dry after like 10 minutes.

While is down, I tried out a few other search engines. I did a search I made yesterday in each. gave me an interesting looking blog first, then some less-related info from high-trust sources, then an interesting paper, then a bunch of garbage. gave me nothing that looked interesting, just pages that used some of the words from my search. gave me the less-related high-trust sources first, then the entire rest of the first page looked interesting.

@Mojeek I was searching "history of English in Estonia" after being curious why a film made in Estonia was in English. The search gave me a bunch of histories of Estonia, which would make sense if the search is keyword based but wasn't useful. Perhaps if I were to be a consistent Mojeek user, I'd become used to avoiding words like "history" that would bring up a bunch of uninteresting results.

Alternative search engines learning today why it's not great for business to be fully dependent on some 3rd party service that they can't control

@MrHandyMan I saw this and went "oh no, I should search for what happened" and then quickly realized that wouldn't be possible

New video! Cities these days are on wildly different growth trajectories, but sports teams are often still distributed like it’s 1950. So today I do some reallocating. (Not the Cubs though, honest.) Already up on Nebula for those who partake! https://nebula.tv/videos/citynerd-i-relocated-10-teams-that-deserve-it-but-not-the-cubs

@nerd4cities "Salt Lake City metro area, 1.3 million people. They got [NBA, MLS, and NHL]. Make it make sense."

The Wasatch Front is divided into 3 MSAs despite really just being one urban area well-connected by FrontRunner and I-15. There's 2.8 million people for pro-sports teams to attract as an audience, and the region is rapidly growing. The powers that be also want MLB to join the party :)

I don't know why the state of #Utah is bound and determined to build a port on toxic, sensitive wetlands when there's plenty of toxic, hyper-low-density industrial land around Magna. Heck, the Church has an enormous empty plot right next to the UP Intermodal. Let that be your port.

timesandseasons,
@timesandseasons@mastodo.neoliber.al avatar

Also I'm quickly coming to realize that any given empty plot in the city has a high probability of being owned by the Church or Rio Tinto

@Minnewegian Yep, for a while they were the single largest private landowner in Florida. Now that the SEC is breathing down their necks, we know they have nearly $55 billion in stocks on top of their untold billions in real estate.

@Neblib @Minnewegian They're definitely selling that data and announced that in 2014, though only the companies involved know for how much.

@kemotep @Neblib @Minnewegian They collect reams of genealogical data so they can baptize and do other sacraments (they call them ordinances) for the dead.

My guess is that the comment about a new ethnicity you heard is related to them strongly discouraging inter-faith marriages (you can only get married in the church to fellow members in good standing). Also the culture completely obliterated their members' existing ethnicities over the last century, but that's a common American thing.

One of my coworkers has never seen remote desktops before and I think it must be breaking their fundamental understanding of what computers are because it's a struggle teaching them to use it.
