Stardew valley just worked. I also use that laptop to print the mailing labels for the Christmas cards you and Joey get every year because the windows drivers for my brother scale everything slightly messing up sheet feed labels

Then there's Russ Taylor. "It's just a vehicle. So it's ironic that it would even become a political statement."

(Editor's note: Taylor was plead guilty to conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding in the January 6 attack. He was later pardoned by Trump.)

Missing labor history: Battle Arena Toshinden, a launch title for the Playstation 1, was done without a devkit. They just smashed against the chips until they figured it out.

My 12 year old daughter is strangely attached to the XUbuntu Thinkpad I setup for her during the pandemic and that proves your point.

Put yourself last. Live in fear of your own inadequacy. Find your purpose in your utility to others.

I meant more aligning the incentives.

Panels owned by the building. Electrical is paid individually by the apartments

I feel like it's basically impossible to create incentives for a co-op or condo building to install solar panels without a dictator president.

I'm 1000% behind getting more solar and nuclear as a side effect of AI.

So can we talk about the fact that commercial vehicles often are put in positions where they are heavily incentivized to park illegally.

We have to change culture so that bike lane tickets aren't treated as cost of doing business the way violating a no standing sign to make a delivery is

A D.C. resident is suing the city and a private company for $500,000 each over claims that one of the company's vans was parked in a downtown bike lane, forcing the resident (who was on bike) to swerve into traffic where he was hit by the trailer on a D.C. government vehicle.

I have my dream job, 100% research, great team, applied work is valued. And the admin load is still incredible, when folks ask me about the reality of my day to day, they often look at me after like 'why would you do that?'

bc I do paperwork and attend meetings so other people can go study birds

I think that if most young people really knew how much non-science work a scientific career requires, most would not persue it. And I say that as someone with zero teaching and only grant and paper related admin.
