Oh I'm fully capable of doing it. I've handled a 100 mile each direction super commute before and I'm currently considering supercommuting again because my grandmother needs some help with day to day tasks and lives a bit away from me. But what I can do vs what I like to do are 2 very different things, and I'm simply voicing that I do not like high speed limits on roads.

The fact is the severity of a crash increases exponentially with speed (and your margin for error as a driver decreases similarly) and humans aren't great at driving cars, so as a human who generally wants to continue living, that's the fear in the back of my head on those high speed bits of highway where some drivers are very insistant on going far beyond the posted speed limit.

Oh and lowering speed limits is good for gas milage and therefore better for emissions. So there plenty of societal good to come from lowering speed limits in general

I started working out because I was super weak and just had a kid, and I realized there was a legitimate risk that I wouldn't be able to pick up my own child, so I started doing some strength training and holy crap this is amazing. Then I went back to college and lost my workout schedule, but after college I started running the following super smokey summer and didn't make much progress, but this summer I've picked up biking and I'm currently up to about 3 miles of extremely hilly biking every day.

I seriously forgot how fun biking is, and it's also nice just how much healthier I feel from the regular fitness

I'll be real, I really like the 55mph county highways compared to the 65mph interstate. At 55mph you're closer to the sweet spot for fuel efficiency (for most vehicles around 45mph is the most fuel efficient speed) so you get noticably better gas milage. The 70mph interstates are generally a bit scary because going 75-80 to keep up with traffic just feels too fast and I can feel how much harder it is to control my vehicle compared to going less than 70, plus the engine works noticably harder against the wind to maintain speed.

I also witnessed a crash where a vehicle was going 80ish in a 55 zone on a beltline. They lost control while passing a vehicle, hit the barrier then careened accross three lanes of traffic pinning another vehicle against the opposite barrier. Nobody died and it appeared everyone was largely uninjured (thanks modern crash safety standards!) but the woman in the pinned vehicle was trapped. Point is, going slower they would not have lost control, or if they did they would not have crashed as badly doing so

That looks like the passenger pickup area of an airport, and honestly looks a lot like LAX specifically. Y'know when you'd need a phone to contact your ride and let them know where you are waiting to be picked up

Chrome's privacy sandbox is a very different protocol from Mozilla's PPA protocol. I haven't read about Safari's variant so I don't know if that's a copy/paste of Chrome's or it's own protocol

The big difference between Privacy Sandbox (previously Topics API and before that FLoC) and PPA is that Google's "solution" still tracks the user while Mozilla's just tracks the ads and gives aggregate data to the advertiser

It was the Well There's Your Problem podcast on an episode talking about PSR or something like that for me

"I got shot and it wasn't so bad, why do we need legislation to prevent unsafe access to guns?"

We did get an electric pellet grill last year and we’ve been using it a lot to keep from heating the house. I wonder how much that adds.

A rule of thumb I heard from datacenters is to count every watt of power consumption as 3 to account for the additional demand on the cooling systems and battery backup, so an electric grill probably saves a ton of energy over the oven given it isn't heating up the house

Sometimes I forget how annoying those instances are since I blocked them...

Hilariously VLC will happily skip the "unskippable" ads on DVDs

For those dark pattern email boxes I like entering things like admin@[website that's serving a dark pattern mailbox] or marketing@website because 50% of the time it just gives me whatever without any trouble and the other 50% of the time I clear cookies and consider if I really need whatever they're gating behind harvesting my email...

Yes that's a TE3 with rubber tires. I will not be taking questions
