They might be in one of the 35-40 states where their vote doesn’t matter anyway.

National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is only 72 Electoral Votes away from being enacted, but it’s getting harder and harder…

I’m not at home to check at the moment, but I think it’s Jobs Filterer for LinkedIn by Jonathan Kamens. Lets you prefilter with regex for like company or job title, and give you a button to manually hide specific listings as well.

I was looking on LinkedIn recently, had to get an extension just to hide all those, really cleaned up my search results after a while.

“We got married” becomes “We incorporated a Delaware LLC that manages our assets through a Swiss Trust”

I’m thinking either he used it as a canteen to carry more water further, or as a rain barrel to capture it, not just as a cup to drink from at places where water was readily available.

For something I’m paying for, I want no ads, recommended or otherwise.

For something I get for free, if it’s easily skippable/ignorable, I don’t really care, I’ll skip it or mute the tab or whatever. If I can’t, I’d rather have a like sniper level targeted ad (use all the data!), really try to show me something I’ll care about (there was some like 10 minutes ad about the science behing glass by one of the guys from MythBusters, I watched the whole ad, it was great). The demographic level targeted ads are my 2nd least favorite, mostly because it feels like I usually need to suffer through what is a targeted ad but if they bothered to exclude some of the audience based on some data points (looking at you luxury car ads, it’s just never going to happen), they’d know I’m a bad target, I’d rather some generic add over those. My least favorite ad though, when I get an ad in a language I don’t even understand, like at least match my primary language, wasting everyone’s time…

There are women who intentionally choose to be a single parent. Like they’re single, they get a sperm donor, have a kid. It’s not some insane thing. Kids should have a supportive and caring environment, whomever raises them. Not every kid with a single caregiver is neglected, nor is every kid with 2 or more caregivers properly cared for.

Americans use any/all of bedrooms/bathrooms/square footage/lot size

maybe they can create some category that makes it clear that it’s folk medicine.

We call folk medicine that’s proven to work “medicine”.

They’re giving Ukraine $50B, as a loan. They’re repaying the loan at a rate of $3B/yr using the seized interest payments.

You’d limit Ultimate Beneficial Ownership of the properties, not direct ownership.

I’d probably do something like: No individual or private entity may have Direct, Indirect or Ultimate Beneficial Ownership exceeding or of multiple of any of X(2-5?) Single Family properties, Y(2-3?) low density Multi-tenant properties, or Z(1-2?) high density Multi-tenant properties. Excluding the first wholely and solely owner occupied property. Excluding Ultimate Beneficial Ownership of less than A(.01-5?)% of a property. Excluding Ownership less than B(30-180?) days. Failure to comply results in forfeiture of newer ownership to REGULATOR-TBD until compliance is met. Multi-tenant properties have C (5-10?) residences

IANAL, probably some other loopholes that need closing. But the intent would be to limit consolidated ownership of many properties. But not impact several of the more reasonable ownership structures, nor impact churn of properties. The regulator would sell whatever extra it gets to fund housing programs.

Yeah, I feel like it’s one of those situations where you try to think of what would be a size that should be more than enough and then double it (or use the whole canvas if it isn’t as big as that).

“always” might be a bit of a strong word when referring to ownership of basically any part of that region.

For my $, Wendy’s is winning the value competition. Their value deals are cheap and decent, their reward system is better, their online deals are better. Subjectively, I like the taste better, so that’s nice too.

BK and McD offer better deals at volume than for a single person meal, but even then it’s not better than Wendy’s. Single person it’s just not even a contest.

Article feels weirdly biased, an Xbox mid-gen update has been talked about for over a year and is expected in the next like 4-6 months. Anyone in the market for a current gen Xbox is likely to consider that and may decide to postpone their purchase until then, making sales artificially lower than demand for an Xbox. The article doesn’t even mention it, instead talking about even more speculative hardware that isn’t likely more than some R&D project, if that.

You can see similar effects for PS4 sales when the PS5 was announced, sales cratered. Can’t tell too much with the PS4 to PS4 pro because they announced close to actual release.

Feels like the author is clickbaiting the console war.

That graphic is limited to a comparison of emissions from use of roads only.

It’s more about the hardware/firmware/software uniformity and reliability for some people. My friend is in this camp, he doesn’t want to need to manage a PC, he just wants a box he can reliably turn on and use.

Yep, UI mouseover is fine with it unplugged, issue returns when replugged.

1. PC, other than M/KB, I have a Razer Tartarus.

2. I was using the scroll wheel, might have missed the cue to use keys, that’d fix it for me.
