From the bike lane opponents' newsletter, talking about the city council meeting where they want people to show up to oppose bike lanes: “If you can bike or walk to the venue (it’s on Addison near Bonar), please do that, since parking will be at a premium.”

relationships

trans girls only want one thing and it's to hold each other long enough that being apart doesn't hurt anymore

The world would be a better place if every buying guide was as brutally honest as this one from @nilay_patel.

(PS: I own this same Brother model whatever printer and can confirm it just works, year in and year out.)

high fiber diet (whenever i am feeling hungry i find an above-ground utility pole and look about 20 feet up for a nice snack)

(it's single-mode optical fiber used for automated metering)

(i am causing disruptions to critical infrastructure)

had a lot of fun hanging out with Peter Thiel last night over wine. we came up with a goofy idea to short Silicon Valley Bank then induce a bank run by telling all of his startups to withdraw at the same time. thankfully it was just a fun thought experiment to prime us for the cocaine we ended up doing. i don't remember the rest of the night, it's probably fine. now, let me take a big sip of this coffee while I check my Bloomberg terminal and get my day started

cross-referencing a national park brochure map, a cell coverage map, a light pollution map, the long lines map, and gmaps satellite/hybrid; this is going to be a nice evening I think

(someday I am going to end up with the weirdest qgis project file ever)

going through my camera roll and i had to see this 2-year-old image, now you all do too (possible repost from twitter?)

[huntsville utilities] mom can you give me money? [city of huntsville] to buy enough fiber to support automatic metering infrastructure? [utilities] yeeees. actually overprovisions dark fiber capacity by 200x like a boss. municipal fiber leasing time

lol yep there it is. this is worse than is currently being reported (e.g. https://thehill.com/homenews/house/3890593-congressional-health-program-suffers-significant-data-breach-affecting-hundreds-of-lawmakers-staff/ says it was just names/enrollment date/emails -- that is not true according to this statement)

Congressional health program suffers ‘significant data breach’ affecting ‘hundreds’ of lawmakers, staff The Hill

WHAT INFORMATION WAS INVOLVED IN THE DATA BREACH / The personally identifiable information that was exposed included the following: / Your name and name of your dependents enrolled on DC Health Link, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Gender, Address, Email, and Phone Number.
