whoever did the sound design for ARC Raiders deserves an award. I want to take a sound bath in all the incredible retro computer blips and beeps

why don’t flood warnings have a common convention for severity level? I’m used to seeing many warnings without ever seeing any flooding, so I can imagine it being easy for somebody to ignore notifications.

I ended up caving and migrating to Readwise - the ability to import from Pocket and export to Obsidian was too good to resist

This really is too bad. One of the projects on my to-do list was a Pocket CLI tool - guess I'll cross that one off the list. If you have replacements please share!

why is it so fun to watch bots try and ssh into my web server

I just don't understand why you would assume people are coming to their beliefs insincerely, by first assessing where the aggregate of their views would be placed in the political spectrum.

trying to get this site up and running within the next week. I thought that this would be a dime-a-dozen app but believe it or not, I have not been able to find a comparable tool to visualize public health data

right - I don’t think most people are coming to their beliefs based on trying to land in the middle of the political spectrum

To be fair, this doctrine is still in its infancy—only about 221 years since Marbury v. Madison (1803)

What’s even more uncanny: Octavia Butler lived — and is buried — in Altadena, the location most devastated by the Eaton fire.

The median age of first-time homebuyers hit 38 last year, up from 29 in 1981. It’s not the only milestone once common by 30 that’s now delayed. While millennials face criticism for their choices, the truth lies in structural challenges today that didn’t exist for their parents in the 1980s.

Interesting - the article is paywalled for me, but is there any guess as to why the trend is greater with the middle and upper class?

I see a lot of you still sharing posts from the obviously fake Count Dracula account, so please be aware: - the real Count would never post during daylight hours in Romania - his full given name is Vlad, not Vladimir - he does not actually say “blah” and would never write it out in a post

Washington has the same voter ID laws as West Virginia (non-strict, non-photo ID), but I guess that doesn’t get the right message across
