I spent last Spring in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Quebec. Had a blast. Land's End and the entire Gaspesie peninsula was beautiful. Watching the tides at Hopewell Rocks and walking on the seafloor while the tide was out was wild. Whale watching and eating scallops out of Digby was awesome. All manner of cool things in striking distance of Baddeck. PEI has... um.. a surprisingly interesting potato museum. Go for it!

I was so mad about those catapults. I’m still mad. That battle was just completely unforgivable.

It’s not like they didn’t HAVE consultants on retainer for this series already. Give me a break!

I need to go lie down now.

I can press the entirely local switch and have light.

Are you sure about that? Is it a local connected smart switch (still fancy electronics, just local) or a plain old power switch?

If it’s a power switch, and If you turned your lights off by app over the internet, and then the internet went out, then your lights’ ability to come back on when you flick the physical switch depends on somebody having thought about this need and programmed a “oh, the switch was flicked so I better ignore the internet settings” mode.

And if they did that, it also probably means your lights all turn on after a power outage since the light can’t tell the difference between power outage and light switch flipped off.

We’re on the micromobility community. Not a whole lot of micromobility you can safely engage in without some head protection

Jesus Christ, man, flawed as they are they are the best we’ve actually got elected at all. How about we ADD TO THEM with more good and better people instead of trying to throw them in the trash so they can be replaced by more Schumers and Rubins?

Anecdotal story: I found on a vacation with no lights and no internet but lots of physical activity it just happened by itself.

Every night I fell into bed exhausted and slept deeply shortly after sunset. Every night in the middle of the night I woke up to go to the bathroom and wandered around for an hour or two like a Shakespeare character, then fell asleep for another shift until dawn.

Did not notice any effects besides being well rested from getting plenty of sleep which was unusual for me at the time.

I liked season 1 a lot as well.

we don’t want it to reactivate in the future and begin transmitting again if its solar panels find sunlight.

Why go to so much work to ensure it can never be turned on again? What harm does it do to move the satellite to a graveyard orbit and just leave it listening?

Jesus wtf?

Alright, need some kids on here who grew up hearing sex please to tell me how it did or didn’t fuck them up…. Anyone?

Cuz um we might have had some thin walls

Engaging — very much so, at least for me personally

Performant — mixed story. in cheap cars like my Honda Fit where the alternative is a CV transmission, manual performs way better. In sports cars where the alternative is a dual-clutch, I think the automatics have been beating the manual on the track for a few years now.

Efficient — I think we lost that battle on all fronts since some years back

Well, yes. Same as a real manual transmission in this day and age.

If all you want is the most efficient transportation then it’s better to take the train.
