In my town, most of the summer camps fill up in March. Every dual-income family I know has a spreadsheet and keeps track of exactly when online registration opens. It’s a nightmare, and expensive too.

Mine are starting to get old enough that we are doing a mix of camps and WFH weeks. It’s not ideal but we’ve scraped enough together that it mostly works.

Does she get to keep the money? I know it’s evidence, but they still gave it to her. She owns it, right? When the trial is done, why shouldn’t she get it?

I’m ok with that. If I sell my house, I’ll need to buy another one, which will be cheaper too. The only people who lose out are investors that treat a necessity of life as a get rich quick scheme.

It’s kind of hard to summarize, it really is “Patriarchy 101” (or maybe 102) with the Barbie movie as a narrative base. It was good to hear things I’ve intuited explicitly stated

I wish more men could understand how the patriarchy hurts men, I like how this puts it into words.

And George Washington Carver was genius with peanuts. Whats that got to do with the topic at hand?

You get it

I think a lot of men believe “I’m one of the good ones” and don’t stop to think that a random woman on the street (or in the woods, in this case) has no way of determining that.

Probably true, given all the (lovable) asshole cats out there.

Him? Really?

Can you give an example? Can you use it to initialize vars outside the scope of the lambda?

This is addressed in The Rise And Fall of DODO. There’s a whole decontamination quarantine period for time travelers.

I grew up in “north Detroit” (Oakland County 🤣) and remember the same things. It’s amazing that Devil’s Night isn’t a thing anymore.

Also, being from Oakland County, you can imagine how people reacted when I went to Wayne State.

Well, that and there’s a lot more exonerating evidence so the cops can’t just say “this Black drifter did it” as much anymore.

It’s ridiculous that they don’t even have a PHEV Odyssey in the US.

Sounds like there’s a headless version of Plexamp that can run on a Pi.

If you use Plex, you would be able to use Plexamp on your computer or phone to play your music on the Pi’s Plexamp.

Or you could get a modern receiver that supports Chromecast and AirPlay and use one of those to stream to the receiver.

Andor. Not a film, but better than The Mandalorian.

If a system moves people around and some of them die, that’s the purpose of the system.

You can say “we don’t want any of them to die” and that’s true, but the system doesn’t reflect that.

You can say “fewer people will die because more people can get to hospitals, but some will die as a result of people moving around” and the system will demonstrate that.

Is that a “we don’t want anyone to die” system or is it a “we are going to accept some people dying as a result of the system so that more people can be saved” system?

The purpose of a system is what it does.

If a system crushes orphans, its purpose is to crash orphans. The designers and participants may say otherwise, but they are ignoring the crushed orphans.

Everyone is talking about how taxes work and no one is talking about how this meme works. He doesn’t need glasses anymore! It looks blurry with his glasses!
