I held my parents hands when we were in crowded places. Until I accidentally grabbed some random woman’s hand and felt really awkward. I probably stopped around age 7.

I love holding my kids hands. They’re big enough that I don’t think I’ll get to hold my elder son’s hand again, and I might get to hold my little guy’s hand a few more times. Here’s hoping.

All, new

I need content

It’s a preview, so that doesn’t seem too surprising. Like the post says, you can switch back to the regular client pretty easily.

We’re not monolithic. No generation is. Those movies were kinda popular, but they found their success with a subset of the generation, not the entire group.

Just like every other generation, when we’re relatively comfortable (or exhausted from daily survival), we don’t have time to foment revolution.

Crafting. And jumping games.

This post has a lot of serious answers to what is essentially a “no”:

In the UK, there is a non-virtual contingency plan, or at least there was. If the internet shuts down, the people who know how it works will meet up in a pub outside London and decide what to do, says Murdoch.

“I don’t know if this is still the case. It was quite a few years ago and I was never told which pub it was.”

Eh. I’d put it at $20. It’s a fun novelty, but it’s not something most people would get much value from. Okay, me. It’s not something I’d get much value from.

Lum would be a nice nod to the classics.

About a million people.

News about my city. TTRPGs. Home repair.

I’ve tried to kick up conversation in appropriate communities here, but I don’t get comments.

Memes, clearly.

I think it worked so well because they’d spent two or three seasons not doing that.

There are multiple factions. Some of us are happy to pay the people who produce the stuff we enjoy.

gboard. Swipe typing is great. I’d love an open source alternative that doesn’t involve manually copying stuff around.

My grandmother got cochlear implants for both ears after she became unable to hear. She loved that she was able to talk to people again. She said that listening to music wasn’t as good as she remembered, but it was better than what she had. I don’t think the garbling sound ever disappeared.

Do what feels right. If you don’t get it now, you can always get it later.

I feel like this is the best approach. An ally is an ally. If they have weird, socially unacceptable, or poorly thought out ideas, but they

1. aren’t acting on them,
2. don’t promote them,
3. still act in good faith on issues we have in common,

then they’re fine for the stuff we care about. The right has built a big tent because they understand this. We’re only holding ourselves back by subjecting each other to purity tests.

As always, there are limits, but generally we need to build more coalitions.

What? Taiwan doesn’t want to give up its only strategic advantage? I’m shocked.

I’m curious how long it would take to build the supply chains and fabs to make the 50% things a reality.

Most of the front page was variations on that statement immediately after the shooting.

I have. I’ve provided links to my instance and gotten upvotes. 🤷‍♂️
