I have nothing to add, just amused by the fact that a Tickle can’t get a giggle.

Ze Frank

Seems like he’s been doing his thing for the entire existence of the internet. Silly little flash animations and games in the early 2000’s and now his ‘true facts’ of animals videos. Seems to keep true to his own style, ever evolving as it may be, but always similar- and maybe thats what I find comforting- he’s been there for most of the 20+ years I’ve been ‘surfin the web’, as the kids like to say.

Rebuttals to a few of the cons:

• don’t dress like an ‘annoying dork’- unless that’s your vibe, no need to change anything to ride a bike.
• you don’t ‘have’ to wear a helmet. Though there are some less bulky, big, or wherever this cons comes from. Probably best to wear one.
• no need to go fast and work up a sweat, or e-bike as other have mentioned. There may be financial rebates available. Other commuter tips include: bring extra clothes, and wet wipes to clean up once getting to.
• until a matter transporter comes along, it takes time to go anywhere.
• you get to find new routes. Find new shops, new neighborhoods, new parks. Feel like a part of you community. Not locked in a metal box or tube.
• bone conduction headphones, or other non noise canceling headphones
• there are bikes, racks and bags in any combination that can carry all sorts of groceries.
• no bad weather, only bad gear. I’d say heat of summer is worse than winter.

Cool. What about all those people who live within 5km of where they need to go, and are generally alone in the car.

Just because it doesn’t apply to you in particular doesn’t mean you can’t support and champion a cause that would help in the grand scheme of things.

For me there is one must have. I’d like to be able to sideload some apps without the weekly refresh. Can any beta testers say if this is a thing as they said may be?

Is Altstore working on Sonoma or iPadOS? I see it is in iOS 17, but I’d like not to be limited to one device.

I’m usually down to update right away, but my add free YouTube is pretty key to my sanity at the moment.

‘An old wives tale’

Sounds like he won a magical monkey paw from that weird stall at the fair that nobody else seems to remember.

Man, I thought I was on crazy pills with the lack of nuance here. Everything is black and white with no room for gray or context…

I’m digging the past few days. There have been a number of posts and comments calling it out. The fact that your comment has positive upvotes is a good sign and surprising.

No one is pointing out that these “convection currents” created are not taking any bacteria away.

That is only steam from the water added, or water left in the meat- it doesn’t take anything away with it… otherwise you’d have an empty pan and meat vapor all over your kitchen.

For the low low price of a little mea culpa on Sunday you too can be a raging pustule the rest of the week too…

These guys (and gals) travel all over the globe. It’s not like the races are set up to accommodate a regular sleep cycles for them. He could also be out drinking and womanizing like in the “good old days” when drivers were “real men” with half as many races per year.

Trump is a foot in the door, there are some scary and actually intelligent people behind the scenes.

We’re in a frogs in the pot situation.

No, poor people already pay for the rich. The rich can afford an accountant to find as many loopholes and deductions as possible. The really rich don’t have an “income” and live of capital gains which is already under taxed.

This is just a hope people remember the “no income tax” part and forget about the “raise import tariffs” part when they’re at the ballot.

We stood up during the anti Iraq war protests, occupy Wall Street, blm, pro-choice, marched for lgbtq rights, human rights, the environment.

We’re burned out because (mostly) nothing changed or got worse… also busy working to the bone to be able to afford to go to work tomorrow.

Perfect consumer because everything we need to buy is designed to fail and not be repairable.

“he spun off the company Second Sight with three cofounders in 1998”

The rest of the sentence from your quote. The company that put these implants into people was, from what I understand, indeed for profit.

Ok, it’s in their protocol to give ketamine for excited delirium… which is a sketchy diagnosis made by cops (a whole other can of worms).

5ml per kilogram is the protocol. The paramedic says he gave 500 ml in the article, a dose for a 220 lb person. Admittedly I only see the picture posted in the article, but I think Elijah wasn’t quite that big.

There’s a lot of weirdness going on here and Aurora is probably safer with these two medical providers out of the picture.

Edit: mg, not ml.

They are so cold because there is no coal to keep them warm… much sadness indeed.

PG&E, the power and gas company for much of California does this. As a for profit company, they outsourced maintenance of their infrastructure to save money. The infrastructure was old, not well maintained or managed and it sparked several large fires over the years. They’ve paid lots of money in restitutions because of this. Now they shut off the power so they can’t be blamed for starting giant fires again…
