Literally hundreds of people were either directly involved in the crime itself, actively blocked accountability, or passively knew and actively chose to turn a blind eye to it. Hundreds. And each and every one of them would make the world better by being at the bottom of the sea

Thinking back to the days when a 120mm fan was the savvy quiet pc upgrade, and now we’re just building pc’s around one.

13) I think Dem leadership still suffers from frame drag. They think it's the 90s. Trump is dismantling the powers of Congress. They have to rise to that moment and demand big things.

Vought is expanding the playing field to thinks off the table. Dems need to do the same.

So please, don’t take your Miata and make it a … Lexus LC? Sure, the MSRP is higher on the Lexus but the role of the Miata is to halo the mass selling Mazda 3 and CX-5.

The magic trick is reducing to the essentials. The essence of a phone is the screen, just as I think the essence of a car is the drivetrain. And around it, removing extras like more cameras and speakers. @sandofsky.com compared it to a rangefinder. www.lux.camera/requiem-ipho...

The iPhone air does a remarkable magic trick of having a max class screen with the hand heft of a mini. It has the same screen size as my first Face ID phone, iPhone XS Max. Having carried various flavors of minis and SE’s, they are nice to carry but cramped to use.

Throwing stones cautiously as my previous phones were iPhone pro’s and I have a full-size station wagon for what I believe are functional reasons. ( I have 2 70 lb dogs)

Full size SUV’s exist for folks to spend more money for aspirational functionality. I hear they sell really well.

Most people don’t buy Miata’s. I missed the window in life where it might have been appropriate (I had a golf in my 20’s). Most people buy crossovers, much to the chagrin of car people. They’re flexible for all the things people might do over the lifespan of an expensive asset.

Basically the whole damn department is either excepted or exempted (website is currently claiming 97%); even processing of pending disability claims continues unabated during a shutdown

I'm all for VA employees getting paid, but this isn't some Big Win for vets relative to current situation

I lift the silly weights in the gym. I will mess around with my own words and sentences and thoughts out of it. See where it all takes me.

There's an interesting thought experiment about how authenticated content and dynamic content can coexist in the DOM, and how browsers and the web ecosystem can facilitate both this new model of publishing and user assurances for e.g. price transparency.
