In addition to a public health threat, it's so poorly managed that these so-called pro-business conservatives are ruining produce companies. People aren't buying *any* lettuce because they can't trust the understaffed CDC to identify the actual sources.
I guess it’s Boston’s turn to have the unsettling wildfire-smoke skies.
Love 99% of my new (used) Prius but want to slap the gearshift designer with a wet salmon. Drive is backward, reverse is forward.
1988: Email, Desktop Publishing, LAN, and Fax machines are changing everything.
Had the crazy luck that we finally went to New Bedford to visit the whaling museum today & caught the Cabo Verde Independence Day parade.
Proof that AI generated images are dogshit: it can't generate a creative image of itself. Brains and circuit boards. That's it. Brains and circuit boards.
I'm in Boston & I don't know a single person dropping this kind of dough on football (soccer). There's a big Haitian population in the Boston area. Will any be there at $920/seat prices?
Something something communist china something something surveillance state something something
In Boston this would be out of pocket even for July. It’s May! 4 days ago it was 54 F high, 43 F low! Two days from now it will be 65 F high/46 F low. I’m not built for this.
On weekend mornings I just sit with my cup of Yunnan & watch the sun take the wheel from Eversource.
Did you not hear that graduating class booing AI? We don't want this. We really don't. Fuck off, Google.
October 19, 1929, (5 days from Black Thursday) Wall Street Journal:
Just gonna leave this ad from Sarah Palin here. One of the 20 house Democrats (Gabrielle Giffords) was shot under a year later. But of course, it was argued widely, there was no connection.
When we say "defund police," this is what we're talking about. $2.9 million to pay 9 cops (pre-benefits). Newton has one of the lowest crime rates of any city in the country, and it's not because it pays cops like they're heads of school systems with 12,000 students.
You really do want solar. Not yet 10am and we're nearly at breakeven for the day
Just flipped on the solar yesterday. At 10am today we're almost at 50/50 (production/consumption) for the day. Solar is amazing! But permitting, etc. even in woke Massachusetts is insane. 8 months from signing to power. (We had 1/4 of our house rewired 2 years ago. That whole process took 3 days.)
There's just one, folks, and we're all on it. Let's not let this crazy idiot and his incompetent buffoons and doofus billionaire friends ruin it.
I first encountered the Suzuki minivan (roughly the same size) in India where it's branded "Omni," when I was a passenger with 5 others. Would love one!
This is what we mean by "AI is being forced on us." The "experts" may know more technically, but the public knows what they've experienced in the workplace: LLM-based GenAI Chatbots are ass except when they do what they're claimed to do and eliminate jobs.
What super-genius should I thank* for installing a toilet paper dispenser lower than my knees so I have to do toilet yoga to dispense tp? *I don’t mean “thank”
The snow depth map is a good guide to the area that should just leave the US and join Canada.
