Life of O'Brien
  • They are one of the few couples we see on Star Trek that aren't some kind of superhero couple (Book and Michael, Stamets and Culber, even Torres and lizard boy) and care about each other and the family they're raising together.

    I think it's just that as the only married couple like that, they end up having to be the sole focus of all the "married couple" tropes for the writers; there weren't any other couples to write them about.

  • Bluesky Might End Up Defeating Twitter Once and for All
  • https://bsky.social/about/blog/10-24-2024-series-a

    This does not change the fact that the Bluesky app and the AT Protocol do not use blockchains or cryptocurrency, and we will not hyperfinancialize the social experience (through tokens, crypto trading, NFTs, etc.). To ensure we and our users benefit fully from this expertise, partner Kinjal Shah will join our board.

    So we'll see how long before the VC enshittification begins.

    Edit: do you have to be male to be a cryptobro? Cryptosis?

    Prior to joining Blockchain Capital, Kinjal was a Senior Consulting Analyst at Fidelity Investments in Boston. At Fidelity, Kinjal was an integral part of the strategic team developing Fidelity’s blockchain initiatives, as well as the strategy behind new asset management products.

    Kinjal earned her B.S. in Quantitative Economics from Tufts University. She is a co-founder of Komorebi Collective, an investment DAO, funding female and non-binary founders in crypto.

    Revealed: The Israel Lobbyists Writing America’s News
  • It seems impossible to share these facts without being told (and even feeling myself) like I'm saying there's a Jewish conspiracy to control the media. And I know that isn't accurate, but it feels close enough to that.

    Jaywalking is now legal in New York City. Legislation passed by the City Council officially became law over the weekend after Mayor Eric Adams declined to sign or veto it after 30 days.

    Let me know if this gets annoying. He's probably going to live in here for the time being. Hopefully not causing too much mischief. A little is ok.

    grist.org NYC's food delivery workers are sweltering in the heat — and demanding more protection

    New York City, the city that never sleeps, is also an incredibly hard place to take a break — if your job is jetting across town on a bike delivering takeout and groceries. “As things stand, there isn’t a designated place for us to rest while working,” Antonio Solis, an app-based delivery worker fro...

    Govee Smart Fan 2 w/ Matter: thoughts and connectivity/reset tips

    I picked up a couple of these fans for my home, and after some initial setup quirks, they're working reliably with Matter and HomeKit. HomeKit lets you adjust fan speed and oscillation; you cannot adjust the oscillation angles. These fans can push a lot of air if you want, and on lower settings they're totally silent while still providing a pleasant breeze.

    Folks are discussing it on that other site, but since I don't use it, I wanted to post some things here. Hopefully so DDG/Google/Bing can still find useful results. Someone can link Redditors to here if they want:

    • Pairing and control (when not responsive): Any HomeKit pairing and control issues could be because the Govee app cannot be open or running at the same time. I have to force quit the Govee app on my phone in order to get it to relinquish control to HomeKit. I hope Govee figures out how to remove this limitation, but I don't use their app so I don't care too much.
    • Hard reset instructions: The Reddit thread (and Govee website!) have it wrong. To reset the device, you have to hold the Mode and Timer buttons for 5 seconds. This is mentioned on a little paper insert they included with the fan.

    A "Christian, conservative, Constitution supporter" is holding the opposite of Pride Month at his Boise bar... but it still sounds pretty gay.

    Trenta Tre Pizzeria, NYC Midtown, $4.34

    The slices are pretty wide even if they're short. Everything was cold but my toaster oven brought it back to life perfectly. Yummy and a good value. Would buy again!
