That’s good to know. Thanks!

What’s happening with hardware replacements? I’d be shocked if batteries lasted seven years.

I saw something about partnering with iFixit. Is there gonna be a program where we can get a certified battery installed in four years time?

I dig the role based games where deployables and vehicles are a thing. I’m sure there are still some around, but I can’t think of any.

Not for me. Last.fm knew my tastes perfectly. Spotify just craps the same dozen artists at me.

This is what I enjoyed about the first Tribes game. I remember wandering around my base, repairing the generators, placing turrets, fixing sensors, and murdering attackers. The rest of the team would be off grabbing the other teams flag or messing up their base.

IMO the sequels didn’t get the balance between base maintenance and flag running quite right.

LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Like, it’s gonna fall apart by itself, you don’t need to try.

I’m not sure how I feel about this. On one hand, access to transit is great. On the other hand, I feel like the greenhouse gas reductions would be minimal.

Airbnb prices are approaching that of hotel rooms. You typically get a kitchen at an Airbnb, but the price argument doesn’t seem accurate from the listings I’ve looked at.

TIL PayPal still exists

Dole issued a rule in 1985 that required automakers to install driver’s side airbags in all new cars unless—and this is the kicker—two-thirds of the states passed mandatory seat belt laws by April 1, 1989. Dole’s rule was so politically adroit because it looked like a regulation, but was really a gift to the auto industry. Cars already had seat belts, so all Detroit had to do was convince states to pass mandatory seat belt laws and it was off the hook for installing expensive air bags or automatic belts.

What a messed up country. When presented with a technology that can cheaply save hundreds or thousands of lives a year, legislators need to resort to stupid tricks to make it mandatory.

I guess they had to grow vegetables themselves? Damn.

OSX. I miss Ubuntu/Gnome’s configurable key bindings so much.

Using different length aluminum rods to make ultrasound is pretty solid engineering.

If there’s a financial upside, they’ll find it.

wut

thank you

yeah, no.

Sound the fucking alarms. Scream from the rooftops. It’s going to keep getting worse until we stop it.
