what if our cars concentrated on efficiency rather than range? what if we did more with less resources? what if it was okay to have less range and slower charging times?

The adult industry needs to realize that trans and non-binary creators are disproportionately hurt by the War on Porn: 74% more likely to be attacked online 53% more likely to face content restrictions 41% less likely to have fans unwilling to AV Pride means committing to actual, systemic support.

Any "prediction" website is just gambling but with more opportunities to cheat. That's all it is and if you think you can play this system in any positive way you're an idiot

Don't remember if I said it before, but this is why my hypothesis is Honda is prepping for an EV future by making their hybrids essentially an EV with an engine instead of a battery. They're exclusively using high power high efficiency electrical motors, way more than necessary for making a hybrid.

Short form isn't good for discussing nuance. Duh. I can at least say that I know the decisions I've made are the most effective for my desires and do not harm others.

Why does it say my card is restricted? AI: Your account was closed. I didn't close my account. Fix it. AI: Click this button. (It says my account wasn't closed and doesn't need to be reactivated.) It says my account isn't closed, and wasn't closed. Fix it. AI: Here's a button to freeze your account.

Anyhow apparently EVs are getting like 3-5 miles per kWh. My hybrid has a 1 kWh battery pack, which means only about 0.7 kWh is usable. I've managed to drive 4 miles without using the engine a few times when traffic doesn't get in the way. So it's shockingly comparable in EV mode.

Ironically, I would not be a good vehicle tester, because any vehicle I'd test would show anomalously high efficiency and thus not be representative for the average person.

I went for a 4 mile bicycle ride around a lake, accidentally breathed in some form of insect, and found out the park I used to love is still infected with cops harassing people for no reason. 5/10 But seriously, despite their presence, I was able to get sorely needed exercise and enjoy myself.

Somehow, it only just hit me that because I bought bundles on itch before the payment processors forced them to mass delete things, they've stolen from me. Because it was mostly delisting, but it was also deletion. If it can be taken away, it's not ownership. This lesson keeps happening..

That I've now gone to bsky to complain about my thoughts on writing and video production is a strong indicator that I've probably burned myself out for today and should chill the fuck out and take a break to allow myself to actually have useful thoughts again when I resume.

I don't remember if I mentioned it, but I also have 5.1k written on Backrooms. And that's another thing I feel not even close to ready to actually present on. One thing I am noticing is a need to organize pieces of a whole picture visually, so I can figure out how to present it.

2.8k words notes on The Amazing Digital Circus. Mostly focused on how I feel like people didn't get the point of Jax. I wish I could write thoughts faster. I wish I could make presentations with a snap. I'm glad that I'm feeling encouraged and ready to write and write but I wish it was faster.

December last year is when I thought the AI bubble could pop within a year. I am less confident of this than I was then. But I think I forgot to say it, and I am trying to better keep track of which thoughts I voice or not, so I can gauge whether or not my predictions are accurate.

Dear bsky, if a profile doesn't exist.. don't show it search results? Or make the link it opens actually show what's wrong with it instead of linking to "handle.invalid" which never loads.

The least recognized work I do is documentation on open source. It's thankless work, and I barely do any of it.. But like, for example, I just submitted a pull request to a piece that hadn't been fixed for several years despite being an obvious problem. xD Better to do ANYTHING than nothing.

I've been thinking about Click a lot recently, and how it's a tragedy disguised as a comedy so effectively that it was critically hated, and I fear people not seeing what it truly is because it's falsely labeled as a braindead comedy. Turns out, I'm not the only one recently thinking about this.

It astonishes me that Canadians from individuals to docs to politicians think nothing of meeting in the US aka on Zoom. Would we cross the border to discuss our medical history, hold a Council meeting, attend class? Of course not. But because it’s “Zoom” they do so unthinkingly. We need 🇨🇦 videoconf

Humans are animals. I don't understand why this is such a difficult concept. Fear? Self denial? Inability to accept material needs? Perhaps because we're forced to justify our existence by law that only truly serves a minority, and recognizing how deeply unnatural that is is too painful?

I woke up this morning just thinking about how the fundamental core of all problems we face right now is capitalism, and the only solution being proposed is capitalism. It's just sitting there staring us in the face but we're so deluded by the rich that we keep allowing them to make it worse.

Dear Apple, I disabled autocorrect, autocomplete, and the other automated keyboard tweaks. This means that when I type "now", you should not change it to "not" when I type another whole sentence AFTER it. But no, keep fucking changing things randomly while I'm typing. It doesn't cause ANY problems.

Trying not to be angry. I've been asking people to stop posting YouTube links with tracking codes because it's bad for privacy and safety, and it was dismissed every time. Then they started making those links automatically expose your account to whoever clicks on them. Suddenly, people care.

The primary organ of weight loss: your lungs. "To burn 10 kilograms (22 lbs.) of fat, a person needs to inhale 29 kg (64 lbs.) of oxygen. And the chemical process of burning that fat will produce 28 kg (62 lbs.) of carbon dioxide and 11 kg (24 lbs.) of water."

When somebody loses weight, where does the fat go?
