I was in whatsinthis when it started. I still have a shitpost up there that I’ve got an update for but never posted.

I think you may have misread the Wikipedia page. There were 300-400,000 in NYC alone.

I was in Boston and there were 10s of thousands, even though it was February and sleeting, SF had another 150-200k.

I think there was a sizable group in DC too.

I’ve interacted with less than 100 but the highly trained pit mix rescue across the street still broke her leash, ran down my corgi and picked her up and shook her. The owner tackled her and our corgi was mostly ok (needed stitches on her neck, but no life threatening injury) and the owner readily payed the bill directly, but t by that dog had had months of interventional training by no-expense-spared training and still went nuts on a dog on the street across from its house.

There was a MacBook 12 inch like this that my business partner loved. It would last all day on a charge and he was building our app with it (Xcode and I think clang builds).

This was 10 years ago though.

The parking lots themselves are a big cost to the rest of us though. At least they could be offsetting some of the environmental costs of sprawl.

Plus the electricity production should offset it in a few years, especially in the places wheee shaded parking is most desirable.

I’m still annoyed that solar frickin’ parking lots (canopies, not panels on the ground) aren’t mandated in all new lots.

With all the mandated parking on the sprawl we could probably solve at least EV charging anxiety. And with some grid storage it would make a perfect use of otherwise wasted land. Plus keep the cars parked underneath cool.

I wonder how many 2 item lists have been sorted that way IRL.

You can almost always swap them though. Our 2000ish GEs are swappable. Same with my moms more recent LG. I had to swap hers because hers because the hookups were right to left (just makes the most sense in her laundry/mud room.

Lance Armstrong kinda killed it with all his cheating.

Lance Bass might not have done it many favors either.

Same in northern Michigan in mid summer. And most of New England as well.

Bomb technician too giant lithium pouch batteries are no joke.

Saved a lot of memory. Even though we had upgraded to 24mb in our Mac Performa at the time.

When it’s a first past the pole and electoral college game to get elected, discouraging votes for Harris necessarily helps Trump.

Same as encouraging 3rd party voting in a system where they are mathematically prevented from winning.

You either don’t understand the system we have, or you’re a disingenuous troll for Trump.

This commenter has been sacked.

We will reconvene this meeting at 5:20.

This timeline? Are you sure we’re saving the right one?

Yeah I thought it was corporate raiding and massive leverage that killed them. Like most success name brands that made it to the 80s.

Bain Capital was well known for that kind of bullshit.

I would thing the plastic lining in that container would probably be high on the bonding list, but I haven’t taken a chemistry class in 24 years.

Also wouldn’t be surprised if a standard DGI drone would be perceived as military grade compared to their equipment.

My attitude has definitely evolved and imo improved in the decades between 20s and 40s.

Lots of events and just time can contribute to it. But if you’ve joined a community that’s telling you it can’t get better, you might not be able to work on making it better, or even end up in situations that might change you for the better.
