A Fine Stick for a Hike (sh.itjust.works)

I found this beauty on a Wednesday hike. Carried it for a few miles before leaving it in the park for the next stick enthusiast.

You are going to kill someone.

For anyone reading this - do not do this. There is a huge risk of aspirating on your own vomit and dying because you don't wake up due to the sleeping pill.

Needing to replace tires sooner on my Model 3 is my lived experience. The factory tires wore out after 35,000 mi, when previously I had been getting new tires every 60,000 mi.

I have never owned an SUV - I was comparing my tire longevity to my previous sedan, which admittedly was a compact.

Are those the original tires from the factory?

They wear out at 30-35k miles, just FYI. EVs weigh more than ICE ~~cars~~ sedans- it's harder on the tires.

You can buy aftermarket tires that will last much longer, but you lose the internal foam that dampens road noise. Make sure you match the tire size. EVs require fairly specific heavy-load tires.

Edit: this was experience with a Model 3 coming from a compact gas sedan as my previous car.

The best time to watch Primer is immediately after watching Primer.

I'm... concerned they are prediabetic.

That's not how metabolism works. You'd need to get into a starvation state before the number of calories getting burned changes significantly - and that takes a long time.

If you actually need constant snacks throughout the day, you should get checked for diabetes.

Sure, but the company fronted the millions of dollars required to develop the technology. The investment needs to come from somewhere.

That doesn't have to be a private company, though. We need public funding that retains the patent rights, if not just to make the invention free from licensing costs to manufacture.

The insane thing about our current system is that we do have public funding, but private companies wind up with the patent anyway

I'm don't

You sure you're not?

Not to take away from your message, but what you've called out is under the umbrella of 'intersex' and genetic disorders, not necessarily trans. There can be large overlap between the two, but they are separate things.

Nah. This would require an update be sent out to every blu ray player, which is not feasible unless they were all standardized to a single database or service for their license keys.

Even if that were the case, which it's not, the device would need to connect to the internet for this scheme to work.

The mishandling of sensitive government communications is and has been rampant in the state department and among elected officials on all sides. As someone who used to work with classified information, I find it sickening.
