One way I like to learn languages is to read books I love in them. I'm not quite at the point of being able to do so, but close!
I'm also not quite good enough to really understand the website. This is limited edition, but what is limited about it? Is there / will there be an ebook? 🙏

Do I know anyone who has sold a bike on consignment at the Cascade Bike Swap? To maintain cosmic parity I need to sell the road bike I don’t ride any more.
I would love to talk to someone about how it all works! cascade.org/rides-events...

I’ve dropped off the rear rack for REI to install on my Brompton, and we fixed the payment types to use all my gift cards that arrived yesterday. I should have my new bike this weekend!
…Credit card rewards and Brompton prices are ridiculous, but I’ve wanted this for 10+ years.

Hey! I’ve seen people who say the average number of times a treadmill gets used is ~7. Does anyone know of any credible citations for this sort of thing?
I don’t care about the exact number. I just want credible research about how many times someone uses in-home cardio equipment.

You know. If ICE is going to make it so that putting your kids in daycare or going to work is dangerous (!!!), one thing states could maybe do is pass a law saying _anyone who can reasonably work from home, can work from home._
There’d be a lot of details. But it would be great for many.

Good morning. I regret to inform you that the treadmill is useful.
I dislike treadmills. I think they mess up your gait. But an hour or two a week won’t kill me, and chronic illness has slowed my walking pace from “did you grow up in New York?” to “Georgia on my mind” so maybe this will help.

One interesting thing about this is how few articles covering this mention OpenAI’s coming move to integrate ads, which merged with people’s health data, presents a wide range of predatory scenarios.
OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Health. Should we trust it?
The new feature helps users understand test results, get advice on diets and workouts, and prepare for doctors’ appointments.

Got way too excited finding out that evolution of my fave Pokemon Vaporean is due to the unstable genetic makeup of Eevee. Kids were not amused 🙄 at my musings on doing some sequencing experiments to understand whether this is transposons, epigenetic, fragile hotspots for mutations...

I’m glad there are people who can talk to the “must watch videos of atrocities to bear witness” folks, and hopefully talk them down, but I’m just blocking them on sight.
Frankly I think that if you’re into snuff in a woke way you are _still into snuff_ and that’s very bad.

The convenience of Grok is definitely not an incidental issue. Despite the modern mobile web, entire tech companies live and die on having iOS/Android apps b/c users fall off at the slightest bit of friction

X basically industrialized the creation of fake porn of women who don't consent. Others did it first, but Grok made it normalized and centralized: publicly visible, instantly creatable by anyone, regardless of who's being targeted and dehumanized. Only question now is will X suffer any consequences

I thought that I had sorted my healthcare, but no: I did not understand the differences among tax credits, cascade care (WA-specific) and cost-sharing reductions. Because I didn’t change plans, only my reported income, and my premium went way up, I thought the plan itself was the same.
Nope.

What matters is whether AVs will improve overall safety outcomes on American roads. The US has the worst traffic safety outcomes in the industrialized world, and we are the only country where safety outcomes are worsening.
Thank you @Davidzipper for shining some light on the larger issues.

Much has been written about potential safety benefits of AVs. Given the lack of AV data transparency, I cannot speak to whether, or to what degree, AVs are safer than an average human driver. What I can say:
This is the wrong question.

My first attempt at a Teasmade mug-pot (which I will now call a Teasmug) doesn’t work well — I have to wedge it in there with a small tube of aquaphor and a small bottle of rose absolute — but it’s actually nice to have tea make itself in the morning.

All of this, except for a while the roach exterminators were also president of the United fucking States of America, and so they did in fact have a certain amount of power that could have been leveraged into exterminating roaches even if the roaches held a lot of office too!
the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches
