Find a crappier store.

We have those, they work pretty well.

It’s a pretty easy problem to solve, give them a bottle or sucking snack just before takeoff and landing, and keep them tired so they sleep most of the way. We’ve traveled with babies and it’s really not an issue most of the time.

Then again, we had to deal with two blowouts (huge poops that escape the diaper) on the same flight, so there certainly are hiccups you can’t plan for. But most of our trips with babies have been pretty okay.

In the US (not sure about other countries), why would you give up the credit?

I honestly intentionally park far away because I’m less likely to get someone parking way too close. It really annoys my wife, so I’ll take an especially close spot if it’s available, but I spend so little of my time in the parking lot vs whatever place I’m at that where it is doesn’t matter too much.

Avoid the busy roads and do a mixture of aggressive and defensive cycling. Take the lane if it’s not safe for others to pass, and take side streets instead of busy roads. Your goal is to be seen and avoid the angry drivers.

I bike commuted every day for years and had no problems. I just changed jobs and it’s too far away now, but I really miss cycling to work.

Eh, I’m a suburbanite who is annoyed at our already relatively low density neighborhood (thinking of moving to the country), and I absolutely hate driving. I want to get to everything with a bicycle or a train.

You don’t have to love cities to hate cars.

Uh, what?

To be fair, the medical establishment did lie about it, but not because of some weird “big mask” or “big pharma” conspiracy, but because they have a tangible impact when used by large groups and overselling them would have better outcomes than underselling them.

It’s a classic problem those in power have to deal with: tell the truth and get an underwhelming response, or oversell and get a better response.

Don’t take horse dewormers though, that’s just dumb.

Probably just celebrating Canada Day.

Btw, happy 4th of July to my fellow residents in Canada’s Pants. :)

I’m celebrating both holidays this week with family (brother married a Canadian), and am not playing much. But I have been trying a few new (to me) games here and there:

• Euro Truck Simulator 2 - not a big fan, but maybe it’ll grow on me; parking is hard…
• Hell Pie - pretty fun, just oddly uses a ton of resources on my Steam Deck
• Lair of the Clockwork God - haven’t started yet, but interested in trying it out
• Yakuza 3 - will start once I get home from my trip

Anyway, I hope everyone has had or is having a wonderful holiday. That goes for you even if you’re not American or Canadian.

probably half the range of an EV

Many EVs have ~250 miles range. I need a quarter of that in usable winter range for my commute. If I could get an EV with 125 miles of advertised range (about half that in winter) for a third the price, I’d do it.

It’s not going to replace my road tripping car, but it could replace my commuter, which needs very little range.

We have them at the mouths of canyons, and canyons are beautiful and desirable to live near.

It’s also great for grocery getter cars where total range isn’t super important. Current EVs are ~250 miles range and top out around 300-400, which is insufficient as a gas replacement for road trips but overkill for a commute or around-town car.

There are a lot of use cases for something inexpensive but technically inferior.

A lot of households, like my own, have multiple cars. We have a commuter (50 miles round trip) and a family car. We use the commuter for most trips around town (only commutes 2x/week), and the family car for longer road trips.

I don’t need a car that can do both, I just need to replace the commuter since that’s where the vast majority of our driving is.

Don’t try to solve the hard problem of putting charging stations in the middle of nowhere, solve the easy problem of replacing that second car. For that, sodium-ion is more than sufficient. Focus infrastructure improvements on apartment complexes, workplaces, and shopping centers so people who don’t have a garage can charge.

Steam trading cards.

Be careful, I have a or lot of those I haven’t played yet. Add up enough of those and you could’ve gotten a game you actually will play.

How to turn your laptop into a desktop with this one, weird trick! PC makers are furious!!

I actually use a T-Mobile MVNO, so I don’t have experience with their customer service.

They seem to have the biggest variety of options for resellers, so if you like the coverage but not the customer service, you have options.

Maybe. Or maybe we’d have less selection but more approaches to solve the same problem. That’s not great because it means games would be less approachable since they can’t borrow what works well.

I think software patents in general are stupid. The implementation is often obvious when looking at the end product, so the whole point of a patent (socialize information) isn’t relevant. The work to build it initially also isn’t particularly large for most things, certainly not to the level of pharmaceuticals. So the only purpose of a software patent is to block competition, there’s little if any social benefit to granting the patent.

Lol.

But T-Mobile is less bad the other telecoms. The enemy of my enemy and all that.
