For the typical anti-vaxxer, at least the ones calling attention to themselves as anti-vaxxers, the only people that matter are "me."

Well, there's relevancey from a public health point of view, and then there's relevancey from anti-vaxxers point of view.

And the anti-vaxxers are going to say, might as well get the covid, I'll have better immunity than the vaccinated.

Even though, by getting infected, they're going to infect other people! Which doesn't happen as a result of getting vaccinated.

But, only if you survive, right?

I know ivermectin is for horses. I also know it's approved for humans. I also know it's not approved for covid. Whether it's being or been tested for covid ... I seem to recall yes, but not much, and so far results are not promising.

I get all my news information from the media. All of it. (And zero from the Twitter and Facebook accounts that I don't have.)

And yet he says the media isn't reporting it, and Google buries it. But Google news is one of my primary sources for news.

Agenda much?

So you can create a Domain Specific Language to answer that question.

It might be a good idea not to travel outside your home country with an iPhone or other Apple tech, because you don't necessarily know what kinds of photos or other digital files a country's government would object to. The picture of the man against the tanks is a good example.

Indeed, you don't necessarily know what photos are on your phone.

This problem is "easily" solved with supreme Court term limits of, say, 20 or 30 years. It would give almost every president a chance to routinely appoint at least one justice, assuming good faith in the Senate after Mitch McConnell leaves.

The death watches are grotesque.

I guess if the data is on your helm on your home, and you can access it from your home after cutting your internet, then you do own what's on your helm.

Speaking cynically and pessimistically, when it's your planned exit and who are your potential buyers?

Democracy, and society in general, is messy. It certainly isn't binary.

When legal protest doesn't work, it's sometimes necessary to resort to civil disobedience. That's messy and gray.

They have to wait.

Merged with or owned by, the results would seem to be too similar to distinguish.

If corporations with a history of property theft, and property, human and ecologic destruction came through my neighborhood, I hope my neighbors would join me in protest too.

> one cast member, Tim Kazurinsky, took to interrupting skits as the prudish censor “Worthington Clotman.”

William G. Clotworthy already sounds like a name in an SNL skit, and I halfway thought I was going to read about an actor who had played a censor with that name.

He sounds like an interesting man.

Chip making uses "a lot of water." (Parts of) Arizona is experiencing water shortage, particularly aquifer draw down.

I wonder what the effect of chip making in Arizona will be in Arizona, relative to other water use.

Parts of Arizona by law don't meter aquifer use, which disincentivizes current ag users to conserve, and has incentivized corporate ag to relocate there. (From memory, and I may have botched that memory)

I wonder if TSMC is locating in an unmetered location, or getting a formal water regulation break.

Yeah, "experimental" depends on a shifted version of reality. It's basically the ignorant excuse (where any excuse would do) of screaming parents at school board meetings.

Of what use is the WSJ again?

Like a non-smoker discount.

And sometimes they steal your french fry. Or your red Swingline stapler.

Because you're in capitalist competition with everyone, laterally, vertically, and chronologically.

> It is possible there exists a job definition for which you are 'killing it', but it is not apparent from my perspective.

Tangent: That comment showed me, after 40+ years of adult working, that any individual person is filling multiple roles, each defined by other peoples' perspectives and needs. Indeed, that individual may not even be aware that they are in those roles, much less that those roles may be crucial to those other people.

Note that I almost edited "multiple roles" to "multiple work roles," but this probably applies to most social relationships.

Huh.

It's an "attractive nuisance." You'd better lock your hot tub and garage freezer too.

> Privacy focused,

I'm listening.

> encrypted

Good.

> secure

Even better.

> documents, notes, files and photos

That about covers it.

> service

Oh.

> That class was just a lost cause.

Nice use of social recursion.

Green hydrogen is a way to store more electricity (effectively) in a car than can be stored in a battery. More range, and less weight.

I've noticed a rash of flagging within the last N months.

Too lazy to search, but within the last year I remember a series of podcasts exploring systemic racism from a vaguely reputable source (sorry) that at one point cited a (supreme?) court case where it was established that law enforcement actually has no obligation to "serve and protect", and all other expectations that don't follow from that.

Mostly. I miss my couch, and weekends.

Anything to avoid masks and vaccines, which are safe, effective and preventive, and something you can do before infection.

Huh.

Semi truck driver.

Yeah I like it.

I currently drive a 2022 Freightliner Cascadia.

Some people drive local or regional. I drive OTR, Over The Road, all over the lower 48.

I mostly pull 53 foot "dry vans," as opposed to a "refer" (refrigerator van). Sometimes I pull refers. 53 foot vans of either type are the most common trailer that you've seen on American roads.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-trailer

Usually I take an empty trailer to a shipper and trade it for a preloaded trailer: "drop and hook." Then I drive it to the receiver and trade the loaded for an empty.

Sometimes I have to back up to their dock for a "live load" or "live unload." I sit or sleep in the truck while a fork lift runs in and out of the trailer, moving pallets.

Most OTR drivers go home for 2 or 3 days every 2 or 3 weeks. I go home 4 or 5 days every couple of months. My adult son saves my mail.

I feel pretty comfortable living minimally and solitary in my (employer's) truck. It's a tiny house.

This truck has a microwave and coffee pot (both mine) and a refrigerator (came with the truck). There's a battery powered AC unit for the bunk area, and a diesel burning heater. (Of course there's engine AC and heat while you drive). The longish twin mattress is reasonably comfortable.

I shower at truck stops, usually free via loyalty cards. My employer tells me where to fuel.

There are many different ways and variations on how to be a truck driver. I'm a "company driver," the most common type. There are owner operators that own, rent or lease their own truck, and sometimes the trailer too. Two drivers can team drive, one sleeps while the other drives. I'm paid by the mile; some local jobs are hourly.

I used to be a sw dev, and more recently swqa. I rage-quit my last swqa job, and here I am. I make about $60k/year depending on miles driven.
