~~Jonah~~ Judah from Bojack horseman is very clearly autistic, but it's never mentioned or even the source of any plot point. He's just a regular character who happens to be autistic and has his own plot things and stuff.

Edit: misremembered the name

A national RCV race would be an absolute nightmare to count if it ever became remotely competitive. Approval Voting is better in general, but especially for big, competitive elections.

If we put in a mag-lev system that averages 250 mph from station to station, an overnight sleeper train across the country becomes extremely attractive.

Five or six years ago I used to be able to get 30 fps on low graphics with one or two mods to reduce the load on the GPU. Now I can't even break 15 FPS without lowering the resolution to unusable levels. What gives? Same setup and everything.

Ah my bad, I misread that.

The article is paywalled and the title doesn't make it clear which list you're talking about.

I can sympathize with him and also wish him dead. Although from a strictly political strategy standing I wish he had merely lost his vision so that he'd lose the ability to win the presidency without becoming a dead saint to the Republican voters. That bullet that hit his ear had a good chance of taking out his visual cortex if he hadn't have looked over.

I use the Sony A7iii and have essentially zero complaints. Maybe the A7iv would have been nicer to get the fully articulating screen, but it hasn't been a significant limitation. I got the Sigma 60-600 for birds and wildlife and then I use old SLR lenses when I'm taking fun photos that don't need autofocus. I will eventually get the Tamron 35-150 for indoor sports. The Sony ecosystem is great with the huge selection of lenses, and while I don't like that third party lenses are limited to 15 frames per second, it's not as bad as Cannon's policy.

So I have limitations with videos, but the argument that capturing carbon is costs more energy than it took to put into the air is valid as long as we're still dumping carbon in the air. But, we have to stop putting carbon in the air and we have to start taking it out again.

Yo this would be great for some actual proper carbon sequestration. Make some butter from the air and pump it back down into the wells.

It's my understanding that you're only required to protect the information if you've actually agreed to do so, which is obviously a retirement for being given access. Elected officials are a weird area where they have a much easier time getting clearance, but they've still made agreements to protect the information.

Trump was authorized to handle classified information in the first place, which is why his mishandling was a problem. I haven't read the actual law, but I'm pretty sure ordinary people who happen across classified information have no duty at all in any direction. If you can show me an example of a random person getting in trouble for sharing classified information that they didn't steal or get others to steal, well, let me know.
