“Strongly recommending” masks or other mitigation, especially in the absence of any real communications campaign, allows officials to feel like they’ve washed their hands of responsibility without producing any significant behavior shift that might upset the business community

After @jamesthomson’s tweet, it was with trepidation I upgraded to macOS 12.4 to see how the changes to SwiftUI have broken my own apps. Sure enough, all the labels have been removed from my pickers, in the shipping version of Pastel. I am *so* done with this technology

When a small group protested outside a Supreme Court justice’s house, the Senate took action within twenty-four hours. You do the things you want to do, and you value the people you value. It’s really as simple as that

My friend once had a C level come over from the states to London on business. He repeatedly yelled his order of an Irish Car bomb in a crowded bar and when someone explained WHY you can never do that he proceeded to do it louder because “they can’t tell him what to do”

You can measure the exact degree of mutual intelligibility between German and English by the fact that this is at least as funny to English speakers as it is to German speakers. https://twitter.com/Zufallsmensch/status/1528284467449806848

a normal car door seals when shut, and the window is a separate portal with its own seal

Teslas use the window to create the door seal, and require electronic signals to make the window slightly lower and raise when you open the door

so in sum, Tesla made bad doors https://twitter.com/steinkobbe/status/1528380860550062082
