I'm amazed at how uninformed some eastern US and Californian folks are about Washington State. It is hands down the best state I've been to, and I'm highly suspect of negative opinions of it.
Sure if you are from California, the weather might be very different but come on lol

With a new feature in Edera, you can now talk to the Edera API within a zone, provided that you enable access to it. This means that you can ask the Edera API to destroy the zone you are currently calling the API from, and that is super fun, almost deserves its own automated test to maintain it!

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.
We see y'all. No matter what.

My job is great because we will casually ponder what an Edera Train Car would look like if we could afford to attach it to an Amtrak train. I was made for this moment.
