Heads up that @bitlyofficial.bsky.social is going to start sliding advertisements into your links. Teachers, keep an eye out as you'll likely have no control over who those advertisers are. Looking at the state of online ads these days though, it's probably not something you'd endorse. 😩

Very cool - have some Houtou for me! It was near the top of my favorite foods I tried last year. I was mostly based out of Kobe, but we got a van and traveled to all 47 prefectures. Here’s when we stopped by Arakurayama, which I think isn’t too far from Kofu:

As much as I love @bitwarden.bsky.social, the new design choices are really poorly thought through. Worst of all is the "fill" is now a teensy tinsy little button rather than the full (and obvious) card that filled the drop-down. Super annoying to work with now, esp when it used to be so smooth.

Screenshot of the newly designed BitWarden G.U.I. which makes it much harder to work with, displaying how small the "fill" option on "Autofill" is compared to how it used to be.

This could be an engaging ice-breaker for a conversation class: insurify.com/car-insuranc...

This is a bar chart titled “Car Models With the Most DUIs (2024)” and shows the number of DUIs per 1,000 drivers for various car models. Here is the data represented:
1. Buick Envista: 72.1 DUIs per 1,000 drivers
2. Buick Encore GX: 58.7 DUIs per 1,000 drivers
3. Chevrolet Bolt EV: 40.6 DUIs per 1,000 drivers
4. Chevrolet Astro: 29.9 DUIs per 1,000 drivers
5. Chevrolet Blazer: 28.1 DUIs per 1,000 drivers
6. Jaguar XF: 27.5 DUIs per 1,000 drivers
7. Buick Enclave: 22.8 DUIs per 1,000 drivers
8. Volkswagen New Beetle: 17.4 DUIs per 1,000 drivers
9. Chrysler Pacifica: 17.3 DUIs per 1,000 drivers
10. Ford Bronco: 16.8 DUIs per 1,000 drivers

The chart uses a horizontal bar format to display these statistics visually.
