do you think it’s a good thing, or a bad thing that google has a list of who came to your house when?

fwiw, i found it helpful, i had no idea what a gestation crate is. i don’t think the photo is sad or manipulative, the sad part is what is being done to the pigs! and seeing a photo of what is done to the pigs is all i needed to make up my mind. it’s like the difference between posting a document that references “enhanced interrogation techniques” vs seeing a photo of what was actually done, it has a very different impact. i agree some kind of a citation would be nice though, so i don’t have to go digging about what to say when i contact my representative about.

I agree with you, but I think this ignores the structural factors caused by corporations that lead to the election of this government in the first place (multinational corporations lobbying for NAFTA and the resulting deindustrialization of america).

Granted this is from Trumps first term, but actually yeah. https://www.cnn.com/2017/10/14/politics/noaa-nominee-accuwea...

"Speaking to the The Palm Beach Post at the time, Barry Myers said he supported the weather service returning to its “core mission … which is protecting other people’s lives and property” instead of spending “hundreds of millions of dollars a year, every day, producing forecasts of ‘warm and sunny.’”" Also from the same article: "He told ABC News in May 2005: “We work hard every day competing with other companies and we also have to compete with the government.”"

Ive heard a similar idea, from Hemingway. "Learned never to empty the well of my writing, but always to stop when there was still something there in the deep part of the well, and let it refill at night from the springs that fed it. I always worked until I had something done, and I always stopped when I knew what was going to happen next. That way I could be sure of going on the next day." — Ernest Hemmingway"

I really agree, and I also thinks it can be helpful to do something similar when taking breaks (have lunch/take a walk while leaving a failing test).

I second the video recommendation, mentor makes some of the better documentary style content on the app. the fact that it’s completely free makes it even crazier!

Some other comments posted a diagram-the actual reflector is inside the balloon. the balloon is there to keep the reflector in the right shape.

Ive been using it on my laptop and phone. The phone version doesnt feel like it has enough polish yet. You can install it from the app store BTW, no need for a developer account. Ive been having problems with the app crashing, being unresponsive. However, the Mac version works 100% for me. I have ublock origin, bitwarden, bypass paywalls clean and sponsorblock installed. I havent noticed any issues and im very satisfied. I also really love the programable buttons feature, which let you define a button in the toolbar that runs some JS when you click on it (like a bookmarklet).
