Are we talking fediveese hackers? You know, the socialist-furries-with-UNIX-socks hackers?

Those folks hate cars, not trains. I don't think we need to worry.

The energy from nuclear reactions can be astonishingly large (compared to, say, chemical reactions).

But atoms are really, really, really small.

Concert attendance is growing exponentially, with the number of attendees projected to be greater than the number of atoms in the observable universe sometime in late October.

Open, or standards-compliant local-only gear is the way to go for smart home stuff IMHO. Never had a problem with a Zigbee, Matter, or ESPHome device suddenly deciding it would stop working because manufacturer said so.

Yeah it's missing the text, "...then the Planck X would be..." for the first two.

I don't think this is the black and white issue that the headline suggests.

Homeless advocates appear to be on board with this, at any rate: https://www.kqed.org/news/12047353/heres-why-sf-homeless-advocates-are-glad-lurie-ditched-push-for-1500-shelter-beds

It sounds like the "more beds" campaign promise was somewhat misguided, as slapping a bandaid on homelessness isn't a fix; more beds is, to an extent, just for show. Hopefully we'll be able to get actual, research-based solutions to homelessness here.

I'm not super optimistic, but changing course on a campaign promise because the experts and advocates say your current plan is bad shouldn't be criticized out of hand IMHO.

One of the best things about having an instant pot is the ease of making refried beans from scratch. They're fairly low effort, and so so much better (not to mention cheaper).

You're not just "sticking it to the man" when you do this though


you're being a dick to your city, its residents, and employees.

Move ‘em 2 millimeters in the wrong direction and you’ll have a bad time

Are you referring to getting, I dunno, yogurt in places outside the digestive tract?

My understanding was that gut bacteria play a pretty crucial (beneficial) role in overall health, not to mention the whole gut-brain stuff.
