Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson:

It scans all the activity on your phone, or your devices, your laptop, what have you; we do all of it,” Johnson told the panel about the app

It sends a report to your accountability partner. My accountability partner right now is Jack, my son. He’s 17. So he and I get a report about all the things that are on our phones, all of our devices, once a week. If anything objectionable comes up, your accountability partner gets an immediate notice. I’m proud to tell ya, my son has got a clean slate.”

OP using word 'convinced' is relevant here because whilst most people in USA 'need' a car (because there is no practical alternative to driving), they are being convinced every day that a private car is the only viable solution to transport in general...

... and then of course you get everyone freaking out when someone has the audacity to suggest that installing a dedicated bike / bus lane would mean less people need a car, and that would save everyone time and money.

Also while I'm ranting, I'm so over people harping on about how they can't rely on public transit and that's why they need a car. Like reliable and affordable public transport is some magical and unobtainable goal.

But then when gas prices inevitably get crazy high, or they get in a wreck, or traffic is a mess then that's just The Way It Is and in no way an indication that maybe everyone driving a personal car for every single trip isn't the most reliable or sustainable way to run a city.

Did you see spin off Practical Construction yet? That's next level production, my wife laughed at me waiting for next ep like it's GoT or something.

Also do you notice that YT never pushes PBS videos? I'm subscribed but always have to go to channel.

Since you like a lot of same as me: check out Climate Town.

Indirect, but you could run a Storj node and donate the profits to a good cause of your choice.

Also, assuming you don't buy more hardware, and you believe sustainability is a good cause, then running a node in itself is a good thing.

Makes it officially first time drivers have remained same between seasons, I think.

This. I'm a computer programmer, never been in a union, but after twenty years of startups I cannot believe how good it is to be at a small, stable, employee owned company.

Only looking back do I realize that the people doing the actual work were never in control, and just how damaging that is.

To pour you life and soul into building something (time, and time again), and then have it taken away from you again, and again.

Never going back.

If you have F1TV you can eek out another five minutes of action watching Sainz' onboard, as his car is loaded on a flat bed.

 

...

 

I still can't listen to The Chain without being right back there in my childhood home. I was too young to really understand what I was watching, but I remember loving it regardless.

 

On September 28, Epic Games announced the sale of Bandcamp to Songtradr, Inc. In an internal announcement to staff, Epic Games wrote that Songtradr, Inc. would be offering positions to some Bandcamp employees but not all. This comes amidst ongoing contract negotiations with Bandcamp’s staff union - Bandcamp United.

 

I wish I could share it, but I guess DRM makes the screen go black.

Starting at 09:00 in the F1 TV Pre-Qualifying Show - Qatar the presenters are standing in the pit lane with a regular camera, and start talking about Alonso.

Then it cuts to a shot of them from overhead using the pit lane cable camera, which immediately starts rolling down in the pit lane until it reaches the Aston Martin garage where it zooms in to the car being worked on.

Really cool attention to detail. And the first time I've seen that camera used by the F1 TV people.

Has anyone had any experience with this? The science sounds interesting, but I'm not sure if it's worth the cost.
