  • I'm guessing this is a "leopards ate my face" situation for a lot of people.

    Recently I saw a meme showing some poor crewman with his window facing the red glow of a warp nacelle, but I've lost it now.

  • Levels of ambient air pollution according to mode of transport: a systematic review

    Jump

  • InterpretationProximity to traffic and high air interchange increased the exposure to air pollution of commuters using motorised transport. Larger inhalation rates and commuting time increased inhaled dose among active commuters. Benefits of active commuting from physical activity are larger than the risk from an increased inhaled dose of fine particles.

    I've often wondered about the net effect. Interesting.

  • Twitter front-end Nitter dies as Musk wins war against third-party services

    Jump

  • Recently our county sheriff put out an Amber Alert (a forced alert on all mobile devices) but the obfuscated link resolved to Twitter.

    I wonder what portion of the public saw the Twitter login page and just closed the tab, never to see the details of the child abduction.

  • TIL about "Patch Hop" dances, when young women in the '40s and '50s would claim a boy for a school dance by sewing their patch onto their clothes

  • What's some common knowledge that you just found out recently?

    Jump

  • Maybe this more of a misheard lyrics thing, but for a long time I thought "noxious gas" had to do with nitrogen oxides (NOx), and then spread to other metaphorical applications like "noxious weeds" and so on.

    When someone says "kiss my ass" does it refer to the hole or the cheek?

  • Finland’s successful approach to ending homelessness catches eye of Quebec City

    Jump

  • I think homelessness and despair cause mental illness and substance abuse. If we can prevent "normal" people from losing their homes, I think they would be more stable and able to take care of themselves long term.

    Allowing homelessness is far more costly to everyone else than preventing it.

  • Palworld embroiled in AI and Pokémon ‘plagiarism’ controversy

    Jump

  • Setting aside the topic of generative AI, isn't it about time that Pokemon goes to the public domain?

    It's been a long time since I read Lawrence Lessig, but I think we would undo Disney's mods to copyright laws and allow more cultural remixing after a reasonable time. Like maybe 20 years instead of a century?

  • Hertz 180: Rental giant to sell 20,000 EVs and replace them with gas-powered vehicles

    Jump

  • An EV engineer friend of mine said that this is specifically the Hertz Teslas because Tesla parts are expensive and sometimes hard to get. So when a Tesla breaks, they sell it rather than repair it.

  • Hertz 180: Rental giant to sell 20,000 EVs and replace them with gas-powered vehicles

    Jump

  • I rented a Bolt EV from Hertz once. The car was fine, but the charging stations in the area were mostly broken, or they required downloading an app and giving personal information to charge.

    I got the feeling the charging networks are all about collecting government incentives and the sale of private information from subscribers, and not at all about service.

    My new preferred rental car is no rental car at all.
