The earliest bluesky users tended to be the most toxic users of old Twitter, it's not too surprising

It's still shocking to me that there are so many California Lottery advertisements (I'm sure other states have these too). They're spending taxpayer money to make poor people poorer...

I extensively make use of incognito mode for YouTube when I want to watch something but not have it influence my recommendations. What's the closest analog for a paid service like Netflix? Creating an alternate profile for trash?

A fly that naturally spreads one mile per day does not travel from Panama to Texas in four years.

Yeah, this is the main thing I use privacy.com for

Gah, thanks for this. Thought I was used to that slight-of-hand but this one got me

On the Dan Ryan, driving the speed limit would be very unsafe considering most people are going at least 15 over!

Hawaii already has this rule for what it's worth. The issue there is that they have so many EV's on the road that these chargers are always in use and have lines (and aren't really that fast to begin with). Having experienced that, I still wouldn't get an EV without a guaranteed place to charge at home.

Tried this while in Hawaii with a rental EV (with no charging at my hotel) and it did not work at all. Hawaii is one of the states with the most EV's per person and there's frequently chargers in places like malls and grocery stores (whole foods and target in particular). However, because there's so many EV's, all of these chargers are always in use, and there are usually lines or people waiting around to snag a spot as soon as it becomes available. It was a massive inconvenience and put me off of EVs for the near future: I'd either need an sfh or to be somewhere that figures out public charging when more than a tiny fraction of the total vehicles on the road are electric.

I think that worked in the timeframe it did because women as a group aren't generationally poor (which is to say they aren't born any more or less well off than men), and so the entire shift was one of cultural attitudes. Perhaps AA for women helped normalize female doctors more quickly (haven't looked at any data on this but it seems plausible), though it remains to be seen if the same strategy can work for balancing CS. I'm curious though: did people at the time assume female doctors were less qualified because of AA?
