Dang I always thought you had to go maglev to beat 300 mph. I guess the US really does have a shot at the world's fastest bullet train network.

Ain't no red-eye if your got a cubbyhole bed!

Yeah but you can get a pleasant experience overnight in a cubbyhole bed on a train. Functionally speaking, the time spent traveling while getting good sleep doesn't really count, does it? You were gonna have to sleep anyway. Good luck doing that on a plane. Plus then trains can be built to go right into the heart of downtown, meaning a much shorter "last mile," which planes can't really do. Then you got the airport vs train station experience, the café car on the train, the larger seats, etc etc etc

Ain't everything about the advertised speed.

I am too tired at the moment to really talk, but here are the systems we need to no longer need defensive voting.

And

Sequential Proportional Approval Voting

The best you can do is teach him the tools with which to deal with and celebrate life.

I like ABA Naturally in terms of helping you practice getting into the mindset for "I want to understand why my kid is doing this, and teach them how to navigate life."

I assume Mom omitted the "my" in front of shoes, like she and expecting her own delivery and just thought it was hers without double-checking.

I love the way it looks. It's super easy to figure out where everything is. "Cutting edge" UI designers have a tendency to change things to justify their own existence. Is it easy for the user to navigate? Is it clear what does what? Great. Stick with your design language and only change it if you're forced to by some fundamental change that is incompatible with the framework you currently have.

I fucking hate how every time my phone updates something is bound to be changed with no obvious benefit. Even worse when they remove functionality I was reliant on.

I would guess literally 99% of people could switch to Linux Mint and be more than happy.

There's 7, including the applicant. They meant 3, then 4.

Yes I'm aware.

I am not saying everyone with dumb opinions is a bot, far from it. The world is drowning in idiots. But concentrations of message-friendly people is for sure one of the places you'd want to test narratives, not every message is intended for every audience. You need to recruit new folks to your cause and maintain your base. Messages that do well with your base are likely to attract cause-curious folks.

With pipeline stuff? Sure. There's an infrastructure cost involved in switching sources. With tanker and rail stuff? Nah, it's comparatively trivial to switch suppliers. Unfortunately for Russia, the most obvious declines are from pipeline sales in the first year of the war. The rest have decreased too, but those are the ones where you can just wave your hand at the graph and it's obvious. They basically can't afford to sell at market rate because their oil comes with too many indirect costs to the buyer at the moment.
