The Taliban would approve this message.
How do the lime slices end up in the pitcher? The picture and the instructions don’t match.
Is he running for Mayor of DC? If so, the potholes in some of the suburbs badly need some TLC.
Somebody should plot a chart of media company revenues vs. political candidates and compare it with the stories they run.
I hope I’m wrong, but I suspect there may be some cross-correlation.
The worst breakfast I ever had was at a Courtyard Marriott that was under renovation. Since then, I made a policy to find the best local breakfast diner any place I went, even if the hotel breakfast was included.
Haven’t regretted it once.
Sounds similar to what happened to the refugees Australia kept on Manus Island: https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/19/opinions/australia-manus-refugee-opinion-intl/index.html
The main reason a lot of people still stick around Twitter is because the journalists are there. If Mastodon goes down this path and adds more features to help news organizations and individual reporters, the more likely people will move over.
I talked to Japanese colleagues about this a lot. The issue isn’t just plain old xenophobia. In a lot of cultures, when someone gets married, there are considerations about marrying ‘the right kind’ for the family. As silly as that might sound to U.S. ‘melting pot’ ears, these could be tribal, economic, linguistic, geographic, class, education, age, gender, and yes, race.
In traditional settings, the elders have to bless that marriage, welcome the person, and ideally have the families mesh together and be on the same page.
Inviting foreigners with vastly different backgrounds on almost all those axes, it’s a pretty tall order to ask everyone to change those attitudes. And saying one family should close their eyes and do it for the sake of the country while their neighbors hold out for a ‘suitable’ match is going to be tough. The demographic ‘time bomb’ has been a known issue since the 80s and people are still resistant to change.
At some point, though, realities catch up.
My bet would be it would take a generational turnover and a few years of popular sitcoms normalizing it.

I tried to hand-solder a Hirose .35-pitch connector onto a custom OSHPark board once. Let’s just say it was a humbling experience. Thanks to a generous friend, I learned the value of solder masks and owning a home reflow oven.
Respect to whoever can do this sort of thing, but life is too damn short and my eyesight and hands don’t need the abuse.
How you solder those without dropping a blob and causing a short is a mystery.
Was just listening to the latest episode of Dot Social podcast where there was a discussion with CEO of Ghost (alternative to Substack). They’re integrating ActivityPub into the platform, but where they’re going with it is that you can use your Fediverse ID instead of email to sign up.
Once they have that worked out, any likes or comments automatically migrate back to the fediverse. Replies back to replies also show up in your timeline and your followers can see them. This makes discovery pretty effortless. They can also use the stats to keep track of engagement across all fediverse services.
It also means turning one-way streams like RSS (podcasting), email services, and commenting services into common two-way communities.
You’re now going beyond just catching up to existing services and doing things just not possible in closed silos. Real “Aha!” moment.
I have no shame for enjoying the entire Rick Riordan Olympian / Norse / Roman series. But I did have “reading to kid before bed” as an excuse.
Seeing all these comments on use of ACs… what happens if it cumulatively overloads the grid and you get blackouts?
Is there a Plan B?
Yeah, but does it make Oscar Winner Hans Zimmer kind of noises? https://www.bmw.com/en/magazine/innovation/hans-zimmer-individual-drive-sounds-as-identity-for-electric-vehicles.html
Somebody will take a sip.
At this point, do they really need to be in the same room?
The remaining 0.85 have nowhere to go but down.
